Oh, most definitely. She has at various times told me that her son is a "crystal child" (aka "indigo child,") and that she wanted to save up $7,000 for a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, even though they've only had success in about 10% of kids who have tried it--pretty reasonable success when they work, admittedly, but only with that small subset of the population. Personally I think the money is better spent on things that aren't such a long shot, but at least it's better than the crystal children bullshit. But both of those phases also seem to have passed.

The truth is she's still reeling from the shock, as many parents do, but she's been reeling for 2 years now. I feel like it's time for her to quit grieving and get down to business. But at the biomed moms meeting last night, I had more than one person tell me that they were in the same position as she is, for as long as she's been, and not to give up hope that she'll get rational soon.

You can lead a horse to water but he'll probably just poop in it.

What did Thor do now ???

monster · 02-14-2012, 07:27 PM

as the last straw, i discovered that instead of using his deodorant on his pits, he made patterns in it with the lid. No wonder it isn't working! And he didn't get dressed on time. And he stuffed a balled of mixed clean and dirty clothes in his bed only days after laundrymagedon which found him in the basement doing laundry all evening and he forgot to brush his teeth and hair and put socks on and he forgot to unpack his backpack and didn't put his clean laundry away AGAIN and.............. it went on. He also left his homework at home. (Tough life sucks, maybe you won't forget next time) and the lego robot from his focus study -which meant that 4 other kids had to suffer..... so I drove over with that. It's a 20 minute trip. He's on an indefinite electronics timeout now.

Sick and tired of this cough.
It's not a real cough. Like Whooping Cough or TB.
It's caused by cattarh sitting in my throat in the aftermath of a cold.
Happened last year over Easter (although that was more severe I admit - this is more irritating)

My voice is croaky, I cough to clear my throat so much it hurts, but it is a natural reaction. Mum has been bitching about it under her breath for a week and now has started bitching about it out loud on the phone to friends and family; being half term I am here to hear it. I cough when walking, talking and doing even minor chores like changing my bed linen (although that involves rough and tumble with Diz, which almost elevates it to exercise).

I've had four different over-the-counter pills now. Including those with caffeine, which have contributed to my foul temper.

I've long worn out any sympathy I might have had at home (usually about 1% anyway) and I don't want any from work. It might put them off my cake - I was very careful not to cough anywhere near it I promise! Back tomorrow and I just want to well!

I
Just
Want
It
Gone.

Isn't there something toad-based I can try?
