Hi all. I haven't posted in a while as things have been busy but good. Here's the dilemma. My son is in kindergarten. There is a boy who insists on hanging around with my son all the time. This kid is really bad news. He is constantly at the principles office for swearing, hitting and stealing...

Hi everyone! We had a bit of a scare yesterday -- another one! -- and I'm about to do some research online to figure out exactly how upset I should really be, and whether I should make a complaint to the hospital; I know there are some medical types reading here, and a lot of parents who've been...

HELP!!!! DS is having a 'bivouac' for his birthday. He has requested that we make a "camouflage" birthday cake. So far the only thing I can think of is making a marble cake and icing it with chocolate swirls mixed with vanilla swirls some of which we food color a greenish yellow. Who can help...

Recently a Christian fundamentalist front organization, by invitiation, gained access to a federal agency, after many years of lobbying. They were invited and welcomed by ageny top administrators.

UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2003 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): ** Audrey Wells, the director of the lackluster GUINEVERE, underwhelms us again with UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN. Although it starts off promisingly and works

My son turned 3 in July and really hasn't shown much of an interest in using the toilet. He's peed on there a few times but for the most part, he wants no part of it. He'll only try when he thinks he'll get something out of it. I put him in regular underwear today and he peed in them. Right...

We're going to have a party to celebrate Ollie's first birthday next month. We don't want guests to feel like they have to bring a present, and Ollie has enough stuff anyway. I know we could write "no gifts, please" on the invitations (well, OK, type it, because it'll probably be done by e-mail)....

Can anyone give me some good ideas of activities grandparents in their 70s c an do with a 5 year old girl and a 12 year old boy? These kids don't see their grandparents very often and don't know they well. The GPs are not doddering, but not physically energetic either.

I'm a first time mom and am not sure what clothing to get my toddler for the fall/winter. Does anyone know of a checklist that I could take shopping with me or just have any great advice?

Does anyone know of a good website for parents to see if certain group's music is appropriate? Kind of like the "Kids in Mind" movie ratings... but for music? Thanks much! Shelly

The bags around the arm held with tape didn't work. When we got the cast, I was told he could have a waterproof liner with it. Together with the fiberglass cast, I wouldn't have to worry about the water. Thank goodness. $25 well-spent.

Ran into this on another newsgroup and thought it was interesting and fun. http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/leonardo/thinker_quiz/ I, apparently, am an existential thinker. -- Be well, Barbara (Julian , Aurora , and Vernon's mom) See us at http://photos.yahoo.com/guavaln

I know school supplies come in fads, and I'm well aware that what was necessary last year may not be wanted this year but..... This year teachers in our middle school seemed to have outlawed the large binder. Last year you HAD to have a zippered binder, 3". This year, every teacher wants...

We are about to give up on potty training our 3.5 Yr Old. We have tried everything, the Dr. Phil method, reward systems (both snacks and trips to fun destinations like Chuck E Cheese), letting him wear underwear, and still nothing but the occassional potty use. This, like everything else, is...
