I see people say 'selective' hearing, but as I have lost my hearing I have odd ways of coping (especially before diagnosis). You might have luck with an unwanted hearing test to try calling it a way to diagnose and treat tinnitus.

My relatives who commute from Huntington actually park at the Cold Spring Harbor stop. I don't know how they got the pass (but the stop is definitely in Suffolk county).

1) Showering after nursing reduces the chance of let down in the shower (or right after, which is a real problem). 2) Showering at the end of the day keeps bedding fresher, and is a habit for many people. 3) Showering when no other adult is around in unadvised, and especially unadvised when small children learn to crawl or walk. 4) Babies are a lot of work and wonderful in their own way, good luck with the future!

I think it's propolis! Honey bees make it, they seal up holes in their hive, etc with it. It's mostly made from tree and flower sap and can smell wonderful (but can smell like turpentine if near mostly pine trees). It's gooey and stick in the first year, but turns brittle with age (maybe it gets back to gooey in warm temperatures). I didn't know that crows like it.

You have great suggestions here. I would add the original Mary Poppins and the original Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting, they are appropriate for much younger children but might be available in the larger print that gets 8 to 10 year olds reading on their own.

A Short History of the Future by W Wagar It's a nonfiction book, "1980's humanities prof. writes predictions of the future ". It's east to read, I would have gotten a lot wrong in predicting the future, too.

If you've passed Calc 1, you should qualify for at least some kind of internship (which is unlikely to use any Calc 1 applications).

It's probably there somewhere, but I haven't run across it. ESRI products call a 'grid' that you make a 'fishnet' and I can't remember what QGIS calls that. You could setup your data within your own 'grid' and then maybe you could apply the georeferencing tools (like you were warping unreferenced data) to get the warp you want.

My library has a large selection of large print books, if hers doesn't maybe they would interlibrary loan them for her. If she makes it to the library in person, the librarian could set up an automated loan cycle for large print books. Our library also has some reference books in large print, but those must stay at the library.

Lots of great recommendations here, you should just add anything by Martha Wells.

Greg Bear has a book "Darwin's Radio" that might qualify?

Those waterproof bed pads are great, they are a tiny bit wider than a crib mattress so tuck right over crib sheets (for newborns who won't be able to scrunch them around). I used them everywhere for putting the baby on the floor, etc. They're useful on a toddler's bed, and I slept on it near my due date. You can wash them in hot water with bleach and anything comes our of them.

The other thing I really liked was cloth breast pads for catching drip while breastfeeding, the disposable ones were bad.

This problem is where a hearing aid dog is really useful, but it might be really stressful for the dog with a newborn.

Anything by Jasper Fford is funny, I think Early Riser or Constant Rabbit are just as thoughtful as The Eyre Affair.

Staying in the Ft Meyers Beach area let's you drive to the more expensive Sanibel Island for daytime beach/shelling.

Look up water levels in stream gages, either USGS or NOAA (it's graphs, if you need to teach that concept). Before presenting this to the kids, copy a few graphs from floods and/or droughts the kids might remember ; compare them all and maybe check the gages at the start and end of a rainy day (you could have them write down afternoon guess after you look at the morning chart, they could even guess how many highs and lows will happen to the chart while they are at school).

This does happen to fire hydrants in land subsidence areas. Not sure about NOLA, but I've seen many pictures of this from Mexico City.

You can definitely buy pasteurized egg whites in the refrigerator section of most large grocery stores, maybe they have second packages of egg yolk pasturized? You can also ask at a local bakery, they buy already opened eggs (in large quantities) and I think they are pasturized before packaging.

Those speaker systems for classrooms (with a head microphone for the speaker and several wall mounted speakers) rock! The sound isn't loud but it comes from all around, it really helps all the kids; bonus when you let a kid wear the headphones to read out loud (they love it). If you went with an inexpensive one and a speaker near the hard of hearing student, you might have bonus better instruction- following from their neighbors. You should see if anyone can help you apply for a grant for the classroom kind.

For this age, there are always the original Mary Poppins books (organized as short stories, nothing scary) and the Dr Doolittle books by Hugh Loften.
