    Student enrolled after bringing gun to school

    I will preface by saying I didn't read all the replies. Now as to why a school would allow a student with a violent past to enroll...(I am assuming it is a public/charter school)....according to the Federal Law every child is entitled to a Free and Appropriate Education. Having said that...

    Normally we do a Thanksgiving Dinner at our house the Saturday after and go to DHs grandparents that live local on Thanksgiving Day. This year since grandpas health is not great we have been asked to have it at our house. First thing I done was instruct everyone not to bring anything (his...

    Do you want the government to tell your doctor what they can/can't discuss with you?

    I don't think I would gave an issue with the Dr asking about guns to give a safety talk, but I guess it would depend on their tone. It us stupid that someone got their undies in a bunch, but maybe the dr was being condescending out it. Either way while I gave never been given a gun safety...

    does this seem like an appropriate punishment for kindergarteners?

    This is the tactic used as punishment at DDs school, though it is not for the whole recess, it is anywhere from 3-10 minutes, depending on the infraction. The student has to "walk the fence", which is walk on the front fence line for the allotted amount of time. They do this as to not deprive...

    Girl, 9, accidentally kills shooting instructor

    My 9 year old DD is a pretty darn good shot, participates in shooting competitions. That being said, as experienced with guns as she is I would not allow her to handle an Uzi, or other large full automatic, the recoil is to much for a kid that size.

    Eval for dyslexia - what to expect?

    It depends. Are you having just a screening for dyslexia or full psychoeducational evaluation? Honestly either way, several different evaluation techniques will be used. Such as Diebels screening. As well as teasing their reading by having them read passages, as well as cold reads (list of...

    Contractors and estimates?

    It is true, we do it a lot, especially when we are slammed busy, but we always give a quote, if they tell us we are too high or cannot wait our current 2 -3 month wait list we have right now, we do have a list of other people we refer them to. Our philosophy is if someone wants our quality bad...

    Contractors and estimates?

    As far as BBB, you can only partially trust them. For example if you pay to be an BBB affiliate they help resolve complaints so they don't ding your rating, if you don't pay to be an affiliate your rating gets dinged if people report problems to them. My DH has no ratings under BBB, because...

    Eating clean

    Your body will go through a "detox" phase, but it will pass. There are "clean" chocolate and marshmallows, eating clean is eliminating artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, not all "junk" type food. While we have lowered the amount of sugar we consume we do not hesitate or feel bad...

    Food Network Star

    Lenny and Luca are my favorites. First episode I thought I would like Loreal because I liked her pinup retro style, but after watching her, eh not so much. Lenny, I like him because he is fun to watch, and besides this weeks dish has shown he knows how to cook. Yeah he can be schticky and...

    Got followed while driving

    I was followed home a couple months back by some crazy paranoid crackheads. Apparently they felt I drove by their house too many times. A friend of mine lives over in little neighborhood area, she had just had surgery and was on driving restrictions. I went to pick her up and took her to the...

    Aggressive Deer

    Momma deer are extremely aggressive when their babies are near. If you want to keep deer out of your landscaping or trees get the gold dial liquid soap and coat a pieces of rope and hang in trees or lay in plant beds. I am sure the Irish spring works too, but we always use dial because...

    Contractor took deposit & ran! - Update 7/15

    Small claims court. If he is licensed call the contractor licensing board, also get in contact with you city inspector/permits people, they can make it hard for this particular person to work in your area anymore. The only other thing to add, is I have NEVER heard of contractors requiring a...

    How do they do it?

    For most kids, their insurance will amount to $50-$75 a month, a part time job, even babysitting or mowing yards on weekends would cover that. As far as a car, you start saving before time to get your license and buy something affordable, not brand new. Colleges do look at extra curricular...

    House training puppy.

    What kind of bell are you using, a regular bell or like a hotel bell that you push the little button down? We use a hotel type bell and our cat doesn't mess with it. You can train them to scratch at the door, but that can cause damage. We trained ours to a hotel bell, but she also comes...

    Do you consider Chipotle healthy?

    I have not ever actually eaten there, we most eat at home due to dietary restrictions, BUT it is considered a "safe" place to eat (we follow Feingold diet). Not looking at calories, fat, etc, they are better for you in the respect they do not use artificials in their food and are making the...

    Refused entry with service dog

    When my cousin was getting his service dog trained, it is what we were told was necessary. His dog is for diabetes. We were told we needed these things, so that no establishment could find a reason to deny Rooster (his dog) entrance anywhere. And the service collar/vest is mainly to keep...

    Memphis area Dissers

    We love memphis, it's a two hour drive from us so we go a lot. Another vote here Memphis Queen. Also a couple of good non BBQ places, Flights and J Alexander's. If something of interest to you is playing at the Orpheum you should go there too. rendezvous is good, but I personally think it is...

    Refused entry with service dog

    I feel for your dad, I would definitely be unhappy since your dad's dog is a legitimate service animal. I don't know if it is the same everywhere, but here service animals (not emotional support animals, which technically do not have to have any special training) have to wear either a collar...
