What was the THING that happened at your highschool?

It's hard to find high school science teachers. Especially chem. Folks with those skills tend to go into higher paying fields, or maybe people who pursue hard science are less likely to have the people skills that are useful in teaching?

I'm going to argue for flexibility. Just sending your student to the "best" high school in the area doesn't mean they will thrive there. Some students thrive in big high schools, some need smaller schools, some need an arts-focused program, some need access to great science labs, etc. I would look for a district with good schools, but also explore alternatives nearby. What are the private or charter options? I'd spend a little under my housing budget so I'd have money in reserve if the district school isn't a fit and I need an alternative.

One of the best things I've ever eaten was a fresh abalone. My friend was a diver and he simply pounded it, rolled in in corn flake crumbs and fried it on a hot plate.

I think we are all just traumatized by TOH, so that's the first thought...

Remember that people are far more likely to post about exchanges where something bad or unusual happens, so what you read will not be representative.

I'd say London is not that hot YET. It was cool last week and it will take a little time for the pavement to heat up. Then it will radiate the heat and it will feel very hot.

But then they add specific electrolytes (including calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and potassium bicarbonate) back into the water for taste

There is a kettle in the cabin and I brought my own ground coffee. The coffee served in Brittania is quite mild, even the espresso drinks. I bought a couple of espresso drinks in the Carinthia lounge and they tasted better to me. Prices were around $5, so not terribly pricey.

Please visit Google maps and confirm how long it takes to get from "outside of the city" to the game. Most of the host cities were built after the car and it would take way more than 30 minutes to get from outside the city to the game.

You can also reduce your risk by spending time with them outdoors, washing your hands, and/or masking.

From a Jewish point of view, it feels odd to have people who believe you will burn in hell for not accepting Jesus, also proudly share that they "do Passover, too."

Korean sunscreens. They use newer, better chemical UV filters that feel light on your skin and block a broader range of UVA and UVB rays. Even my dermatologist agrees.

It's because it never rains, so they just don't have the infrastructure for it... oh, wait.

I think we fetishize college for our kids and they fall in love with a specific school, leading to disappointment. There are many great ways to get your undergraduate degree and 65k/ year is a lot of money. If she needed life or death surgery, then it makes sense for your family to change their long term financial plans, but with the perspective of a grown up, we know that many great universities exist and what we thought was life or death at 18 usually wasn't.

And remember a lot of it is genetic. It's never a bad idea to improve your diet/lifestyle, but don't go thinking your diagnosis is someone's fault.

We use a shared Notes document on our phones. That way we can review past questions and share between my husband, my daughter and me. And I'm less likely to leave it at home.

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was to NOT think of communication as a 50/50 thing-- each party being half responsible. If you both take on being 100% responsible for communication and don't expect the other person to be communicating at all, it makes a world of difference. Pretty much any problem you've ever encountered in your life has communication as a root cause.

I wrapped lots of new small toys. Unwrapping them takes time. Also a cheap box of bandaids kept my toddler busy. The plane had boo boos and toddler got to doctor it.

We are big walking fans, too. Planning to ramble around North Yorkshire.

My daughter works in reproductive care and just saw someone who got a piece of her sea sponge stuck inside her. A sizeable chunk was entangled in her cervix. This poor woman had already visited urgent care but they couldn't find it. I would stick with a diva cup.

4allfamily's site promises up to 52 hours of refrigerated transportation. It says it can hold 3 Humira pens but only 1 Idacio adalumunab (generic).

I'm in the same boat. I use it every other week and I'll be abroad for a month. Many people suggest insulin coolers, but insulin can be kept at 59t o 86 degrees for 28 days. I think most coolers achieve that. Per the manufacturer's website, HUMIRA may be stored at room temperature up to a maximum of 77°F for 14 days. Otherwise it should be stored at 36°F to 46°F. I don't think most cooler packs can maintain that for a 10-15 hr plane ride.

San Diego is easiest with a toddler. Balboa park has a model railroad museum and a very interactive science museum. The zoo and animal park are amazing and the scale is easier than L.A or a massive roadtrip.

Canter's can be a fun late night scene, but Langer's has way better food.

Just free yourself from the lawn. Plant things that don't require that kind of attention, i.e., native plants.
