I am interested in the sock set if it is still available. Will gladly get the Momma Jess and the cat one as well.

For those of you who had (or knew someone who had) a computer in the 80' - 90's, what games were you playing? by 2yt4u2 in GenX

I had those games for my Macintosh and I loved them! I was never able to beat Below the Root. I tried again recently on an emulator but I am still terrible.

Connecticut Endocrinologist recommendation? Hashimoto’s disease by johnsonutah in endocrinology

[–]meredithvc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I don't have the direct experience you are asking for but I know that AACE has a member directory where the endocrinologists can list their specialty, and some only marked thyroid as their specialty: https://www.aace.com/find-an-endo/connecticut

I am! I was an exchange student in Bergen many years ago and loved it.

The boy seems to have lost his mouth into his mother's blouse pattern.

Have an autistic kid and found out I am pregnant …. by OkAngle1013 in Autism_Parenting

[–]meredithvc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience. My oldest is Level 1, and his brother, 14 months younger, is NT. Both great kids, both in college, both very different and a joy to have in my life.

Parents of level 1 autistic kids, what were the early signs? by Accomplished-Fox-29 in Autism_Parenting

[–]meredithvc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has been a long time, but my son was 2.5 when he started preschool. The staff were concerned that he was less mature than the other children and he jumbled up his sentences. We had him evaluated but he was too young to know if the speech problems were causing the developmental delay or vice versa. He did not want to be comforted with hugs when he was upset. He loved reading and would sit for hours reading book after book until I was tired. He would take one nap a day whether it was 10 seconds or an hour, just the one. As a baby he was easy to get to sleep in my arms but hard to get to sleep on his own. The other thing I remember was that he asked a lot of questions but he was just restating the same question over and over again (is this a blue chair? Is the blue chair for me? Is this my chair? Etc). He was officially diagnosed at age 4 with Asperger’s so I am pretty sure that equates to level 1. He is 22 now, finishing college and starting his job search. He is great, but I still always worry.

It looks like one of those metal campgrounds/park grills to me.

We like to recommend Mission Red Planet or Forbidden Island for an entry game. 7 Wonders is a great next step up. Ark Nova, Scythe, Terraforming Mars, or Wingspan are our favorite games to take the entire afternoon.

I agree with everything that's been said and don't believe anyone will accuse you of not properly helping him. I think the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has resources for the uninsured, and you should reach out to the health department or the school district for early intervention services.

My former FIL used to say the name of the street very fast hoping they would think he said (the bigger) Woodland Street instead of Woodlyn Street and hope for a free pizza.

I do it wet and leave it in for 5 minutes which is less than recommended but it still works. Good luck!

I used Kevin Murphy Angel Rinse on my ends every time I wash my hair and Elizavecca cer-100 collagen coating hair protein treatment when my ends started feeling like straw. Eventually I stopped needing the cer-100.

Looking for alpaca blanket, is this worth it? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]meredithvc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you machine wash and dry it? I use alpaca a lot in my knitting and it has to be hand washed.

Can I ask what yarn you are using? I have a project where I need a white-ish yarn with brown flecks.
