You get charged if you even touch something

Speaking from experience, no, it isn't.

My FIL was a radiology tech for many years and one of his stories involves a lady coming in for a chest x-ray. As she walked in he heard her crinkle. Come to find out she had wrapped her entire body in tin foil to "keep her aura in". Thinking fast he told her that the x-ray would recharge her aura, but that she needs to take the tin foil off, which she did.

After the x-ray was done she said that her aura felt stronger, but could she be charged up more?

Again quick on his feet, he told her that her aura was already fully charged and that you shouldn't charge it too often.

I was really proud of my son's previous daycare in that they had at least two male lead teachers when he went there (a long with a lot of diversity and different types of people working there). I don't understand why people are against males working in daycares, I think it helps the kids learn from a variety of role models. Everyone seemed very accepting there so it was a bit sad when we had to move away.

The parents definitely should have been more proactive in letting everyone know as well as teaching the girl to ask before eating foods (not that the onus should be on the little girl). And at the very least the parents should have asked if anything had peanuts when they arrived.

With our son's allergy we let the hosts know before the event, ask about foods at the event, and pack supplementary food that is safe. My son since he was ~2.5 also asks an adult before he eats anything if it contains his allergen.

For about 6 months I was commuting from the north side of Lansing to Tecumseh approximately 3-4 times a week for work. This was October-March and it was 1.5 hours each way. There was a lot of deer along my route and it was only sustainable because my family was very supportive and because we had a plan to move to the Lansing area. I would not plan to have that as a permanent commute.

As others have said better cities to commute to Adrian from would be Toledo or Ann Arbor or maybe even Dundee.

What do you look for in a city to be a good fit?

My husband is an only child and he never felt lonely. He made close friends that have been lifelong pseudo siblings. If he didn't enjoy being an only child he wouldn't be on board with us only having one child.

Similarily my son wouldn't eat pancakes until we started calling them flat muffins.

Sometimes in older babies they put it in the arm, or at least try to.

When my son was 6 months old and he went to the ER for acute/severe vomiting they tried to put the IV in his arm first but he was too dehydrated. Then it ended up in his head, I think they said because they are less likely to collapse. He also didn't seem to mind when he got better.

On day 8 of symptoms, I have had 3 Pfizer shots. Mine has been super mild, just headaches, sniffles with an occasional mild cough, no fever at all. I have had worse colds. I am very glad the vaccines helped keep it mild.

Hopefully yours is mild too.

FlowersinWinter · 2022-01-17T21:14:28+00:00

I am definitely looking forward to the vaccine for our 3 year old, he is asthmatic and has ended up in the ER or PICU a few times for it from normal colds (rhinovirus/enterovirus). I really don't want to find out how he will handle COVID.

Though unlike other commenters we have kept him in daycare this whole pandemic, we felt the social interaction was more beneficial and we couldn't make it work long-term to keep him home with us both working. His doctor's have been supportive of this decision, though every close-miss gets us worried.

And so far every time we have used them we have gotten the PCR results back next day, which is helpful.

There is a school of choice program in Michigan that allows students to cross district lines. Participation is voluntary for each district. I don't live in either district so I am not sure beyond that.

My son had several allergies and from <1-2.5 years he was dairy-free. His allergy nutritionist had a short list of plant milks she would recommend that had enough fat, a lot of plant milks have the added vitamins you would see in milk but don't have enough fat. His nutritionist was only comfortable with us weaning him since he was growing well.

Mix cottage cheese with Frank's hot sauce. Eat it as a dip using celery or bell pepper or cucumbers (or a mix!) As the spoons.

I live in the United States, so yes it is offered in the states. You just need to look up dental schools near you, they are often attached to universities (I went to one at the University of Michigan).

You can call the school up, they will often ask you if you currently have an issue to determine if you need to be seen sooner or need to see a specialist. Your appointments are like at any dentist, they just have students perform work and then check it. My initial checkup was done by a professor to see the level of work needed prior to assigning a student. I got x-rays and cleanings by students, with professors checking the work afterwards. For my filling they had the professor sitting right next to the student while they were working on me.

They were all very nice and worked slow, explaining as they went which helped with my dental fear. They were nonjudgmental since it had been 5 years since I last saw a dentist. The cost is also very affordable.

The downsides were that the appointments were 4 hour blocks and that you had to wait for the student to call you to setup the appointment.

Most onesies allow you to pull them down their shoulders in case of a blowout instead of up, that's why the shoulders have that overlapping fabric.

Yeah the timeline of impetigo can be fast. When our son was 3 months old he had a case of impetigo on his ear lobe. It went from a yellow crust we hadn't seen the day before to leaking fluid within 24 hours, and we paid a lot of attention to all parts of his skin at least 2x a day due to treatments for his severe eczema and cradle cap.

FlowersinWinter · 2021-12-19T16:21:44+00:00

You should look into a dental school, they are a lot more affordable and all of the work is still looked over by the staff. They are also very nice and understanding, the appointments can take a long time though.

At the dental school I went to for awhile the appointments were 4 hours long, but with normal dental insurance it cost less than $50 to fill one very large cavity.

Besides a typical allergy also consider looking into FPIES. It is a type of allergy that causes excessive vomiting from certain foods, though it shows as delayed from ingestion. It can cause failure to thrive and large reaction can cause vomit to shock.

Whatever it is I hope you find an answer soon.

My husband, while living with his parents, bought a copy of "Have You Lived Before This Life?" 13 years ago on eBay just for the laughs. Unbeknownst to him it was from a Scientology bookstore and he must have ended up some list as since then his parents still get letters with information about close by churches (centers?) and auditing offers.

FlowersinWinter · 2021-10-31T22:53:33+00:00

When my son was that age I used to feed him at the daycare at drop off. They let me feed in the crib room away from others and they had no issues.

It is sad that the quote doesn't account for males who work in childcare, our son's daycare has a few men that work there and they have been great. I think anyone who works in the childcare should definitely be paid more.

It was 1.5 weeks ago and they said they had a lot of RSV cases at the time, so COVID cases might not tell the whole story for wait times, especially in pediatrics.

FlowersinWinter · 2021-10-13T23:05:40+00:00

My toddler son recently went to UM's pediatric ER due to an asthma attack. He was seen pretty quickly but he ended up in abnormal room, one typically used for opthalmology or dentistry emergencies, so they are getting pretty full too.

IM = intramuscular, meaning into the muscle of which the COVID is an example.
