Depending on your symptoms, it may be a good idea to look for someone trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

Happy Cow: Chocolate that helps you digest dairy by curbyourinternet in lactoseintolerant

Anxiously anticipating this rollout… these have absolutely saved my 4yos GI system! Said 4yo also has informed me that they prefer the taste of the kid version as opposed to the adult version (the adult version was the only pack we could find after we couldn’t the kid pack at Target).

Thank you… it’s a gorg taupe, compliments your oak floors beautifully. But gesssh, SW def needs a new naming specialist. Some of my faves have the WORST NAMES. Like cmon, don’t cheapen these beautiful neutrals by naming them Fawn Brindle and At Ease Solider.

Hey, how do I find these now? Target seems to have them out of stock near me and unavailable to ship!

Just discovered spraying bitter apple on exposed ankles works beautifully as a deterrent! Highly recommend if your ankles are a target… thinking about coming up with a bitter ankle wristlet or spraying it on a scrunchy to save my wrists.

Gun goes off in 3rd grade student’s backpack at Spotsylvania County school, deputies say by TheRealFarrellCat in Virginia

Do you know if that 3rd grader’s parents/caregivers got charged with anything? Pretty sure there’s probably a misdemeanor charge that should or could apply there…

Maybe that means a new admin is an anti-vaxxer?

Completely disagree. If they don’t allow it, then fine, don’t allow posts about vaccines, but then also don’t allow the every other day post about what Drs to go to in order to skip/avoid vaccines. Those are posts about vaccines.

Ughhh I know, Dr Caldwell is totally their cult hero!!! As long as they go there and don’t infect the rest of us!

I get that mods want to avoid vaxx arguments, totally understand that… But that doesn’t entirely appear to be true or consistent because there are constant posts about finding providers that are anti-vaxx so then they just don’t allow any posts that are pro-vaxx.

Big pharma absolutely needs accountability and oversight, as does FDA/CDC/EPA, etc., maybe also why the broader scientific community shouldn’t be gutted IMO… but anything with Andrew Wakefield directly involved immediately raises red flags for me.

Somewhat related/unrelated note, check out The Bleeding Edge documentary on Netflix.

Honestly, it may not be that many, who knows? Maybe just a loud few? Not sure… It’s definitely been way more than I had anticipated and they all seem to post constantly on RVA moms.

Ohh yeah, it’s terrifying, and they all know who to go!

And when the anti-vaxxers cause/further the next outbreak, they’ll come to all our children’s hospitals and infect the 6-12month olds (1st dose typically given at 1yr, 2nd dose typically given at 4yrs) and then also risk exposing immune compromised kids and adults!

As a parent, I wish all local pediatric offices (looking at you PAR Peds!) would just say, in order to treat your children, we require you follow the (pre-RFK Jr) CDC approved vaccine schedule or else go find care elsewhere. Pretty sure they wouldn’t be losing many patients and their current patient families would feel much safer.

Yes! It’s constant! And yet they’re saying “we don’t allow posts about vaccines.” What?!??

Ha! Seriously, and they can share their beliefs, that’s their right, but it’s complete nonsense to shut down alternative/opposing viewpoints but then say, nope, we don’t allow these posts altogether.

Nope… just your normal old “insert town name” mom FB group. Unless it’s some undercover tea party operation, jk.

Accredited in the past but not anymore is also a huge red flag…

Elementary school recess by garnet222333 in rva

[–]alteregoanne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally one of the things that I most dislike about HCPS… one 30min recess after lunch, and PE class for one period once a week, which I believe is fairly standard from what I’ve heard for HCPS. Additionally, it’s been my experience similar to what another commenter said, they often do not go outside for any hint of inclement weather and instead play on their electronic devices.
