re: Appliances - Throw Away

[quote]I'm convinced either the house was built on an old graveyard and is haunted or there is an electrical gremlin, some kind of power fluctuation that is damaging the circuit boards. As an added note, I replaced light bulbs in the house weekly. Those GE light bulbs that say they are good for 13 y...
re: Did your wife get vaccinations during pregnancy?
Posted by Queen on 1/23/24 at 11:51 am
Vaccines the mother gets while pregnant can help protect the baby until he/she can get them after birth, it's not just for you. As others have said, tdap is really important. Pertussis is very dangerous for an infant.
My OB recommended, and I took, tdap and flu vaccines during all four of my preg...

Just had to put down my 16-year-old cat.

Mine started this. Best guess was night vision was failing or that she had started to fall into dementia. Dementia would make sense because the cat also started to let the kids hold her a lot and never...
re: Attic Fan Vent - anyone cover it up?
Posted by Queen on 8/12/23 at 12:05 pm
You’ve gotten a lot of good answers. We had one of these prior to renovating the house. (House was old, not a shred of insulation anywhere in it, so in our case the attic fan was not the biggest problem for our energy bills.)
We took it out and turned the hole into a pull-down ladder. Previously...
re: Slot load blu ray player for kids

This seems a lot more tech-intense than I am capable of! I don’t have a dedicated laptop to commit to the cause. Am I reading too much into this?
I don’t have the tv yet, leaning toward a Roku setup for them. ...
Slot load blu ray player for kids
Posted by Queen on 6/11/23 at 2:33 pm
Moving to a new house and the kids will have a playroom upstairs. I am OK with them having a tv with apps I have set up for them, but we also have a good number of physical DVDs and blu rays.
The TV will be mounted to the wall, and there is no space for a table underneath due to a closet door be...
re: Post Medicare Age Drugs
Posted by Queen on 4/25/23 at 8:13 pm
Look into a membership pharmacy that will operate outside insurance or otherwise offer special pricing. You’ll likely need to find one in your state, but basically you pay a membership fee and get your drugs at a low cost or free (depending on the med).
Walgreens and Kroger both have prescriptio...

re: Who else’s wife jumps the gun on taking kids to the doc?
Posted by Queen on 3/5/23 at 8:37 am
Does your wife work?
I ask because when a kid is sick enough to have to miss school/daycare, that burden 99% of the time falls on me. If it’s something I can treat and shorten (like strep or an ear infection), I like to know so I don’t have to figure out extra days unnecessarily. That obviously ...

Disclaimer haven’t read this entire thread. But after a lifetime of swearing I’d never drive a minivan…I drive an Odyssey. It isn’t the only van we looked at, but some of its exclusive features are things I could not live without.
One of those things is the middle row seats that slide side to si...

So not the youngest, but not so much older that being held back would be a huge problem. Certainly check for learning disabilities or other issues that might impact his performance, but don't brush off the advice of the school with regard to repeating a grade...

Don't be afraid to hold back. Better to do it early as others have said.
And this might be the first year for this teacher, but it's not her first day. She's seeing your kid struggle in a way that, apparently, most other students are not. And the administration would need to agree with her for t...
re: Anybody dealt with Rotator Cuff issues?
Posted by Queen on 1/7/23 at 8:55 am
Get a second opinion if you need one, but depending on your issue you may not be able to put off surgery for long.
I know someone who put hers off for rotator cuff. But she was already in pain and had stopped using the arm/shoulder the same way to deal with that. By the time she did get the surg...
