I know I am feeling particularly sensitive today, but bear with me:
My child had baby eczema, this lasted for years, right up until he was 3, but has since cleared, because I carefully apply the correct moisturisers, have never changed any of his soaps or powders, and always get products for sensitive skin, if I must buy outside of his usual stuff (such as shops own scent free baby soaps). The school have never seen his eczema flare up, because since he started there, he’s never had one.
Recently, his dry skin is back, just like in the cold weather when he was a baby – but I am making sure I keep it dry after baths, apply his Oilatum, do not change his products etc. It is very red around his neck, but I believe he has been scratching it too, as 6 year olds are wont to do!
Yesterday, his teacher pointed it out, making sure to speak veerrrrry slowly, as I am obviously stupid, and have not noticed this – So I told her about his baby eczema and how to me, this flare up seems very mild compared to how it was when he was seeing a dermatologist at the hospital, I had already made plans to check him up with his GP as I am taking my younger son for his injections today.
Today, the school secretary grilled me as if I was a bad mother on every product I use, occasionally she would say “you shouldn’t use that you know?” and I would shut her up by pointing out that if a qualified dermatologist and all of his GPs have said there is no possible way that was causing his eczema then THEIRS is the opinion I shall go with. Again, I said I had already spoken to his teacher AND made arrangements to get an appointment for him.
DO these stupid people seriously think I would neglect my son? How on earth can they have been in teaching for so long and never seen eczema? They must think I am one of those evil parents who does not care!
Has anyone else felt that people at the school need a good hard slap?
If I was the sort of mother that did not care, do they seriously think I would mend my ways because they allude to the fact? I could scream!

i know it’s a stupid question, but whatever. like i said, i don’t like eating. and baby formula seems to have a bunch of good stuff in it, but not alot of calories. so would it be okay to drink that for a meal instead of eating?
i got a free sample in the mail and it’s “enfamil next step lipil-a nutritious alternative to whole milk”.
in case you need to know, i’m 18, i’m 5’6, and i weigh 121 pounds (ew.)

Okay…
this is kind of a weird question but I want as many people to answer as possible and I will pick a best answer. It’s pretty confusing as well because it’s hard to know unless you read the story. I just want to know what you think sorry it’s kind of long.
Now…this is my character. I would like to know…if she were real, would you like her? Would you be her friend?
Her name is Kelsey.
Her personality: She is nice to most everyone except those that don’t deserve it.
Basic summary:
Kelsey isn’t exactly a main character. She’s more the second person. The story is written in first person point of view and it’s basically someone else who envies Kelsey. The first person’s name is Fathom; the main character (the story is called Fathom’s Diary). Kelsey is Fathom’s neighbor and has been for years. Fathom ends up being in the same class as Kelsey and that’s when she really gets to know her.
Kelsey is funny, but does it without trying to be. Most everyone likes her, but she does have some conflict; Fathom’s friend Winona hates Kelsey with a passion and throughout the whole story, gives no reason why (I leave it up to the reader; mostly its because of jealousy though). Now, because Fathom is friends with Winona, she doesn’t really defend Kelsey when Winona picks at her. Kelsey stands up for herself though and she stands up for her own friends when Winona picks on them too. She even makes fun of Winona right back and a few times has made fun of Fathom (This is why; there’s a part in the story where Kelsey overhears Fathom say “I just want to hate Kelsey but I can’t.” And it makes Kelsey feel bad because she thought she and Fathom were friends. So instead, she decides to cut her friendship with Fathom, much to Fathom’s dismay, and basically ignores Fathom most of the time. But then she overhears Winona tell Fathom that Kelsey should die and Fathom laughs and it makes Kelsey really upset. So later on in the story, Fathom wets her pants and the next day Kelsey sets a pack of diapers on Fathom’s desk).
Fathom gets yelled at all the time at home, as does Winona. Kelsey feels a little bad about that and actually defends her once when Fathom’s foster mom yells at her in front of Kelsey. Kelsey says “What do you mean is she done here? It’s her house too. She can’t play a tambourine in her own bedroom?”
Basically, bottom line, long story short, Kelsey is nice to everyone who deserves it, she’s caring, she’s sweet, but at the same time she can be pretty; mean isnt really the right word, but along those lines. She stands up for herself and her friends, her family is really fun and nice, she attends a youth group at a Lutheran church, and she’s just all around seems really cool. That’s how I want her to be.
So…..
if you knew her if she was real, would you like her? Would you think she’s cool? Would you want to be her friend? And would you want to get to know her better?
I’m sorry it’s weird. Again, you kind of have to read the story to get her a little better (does it make you want to?)

Language
Hoots man, see you Jimmy, it’s a braw bricht moonlicht nicht the nicht, och aye the noo.
We look to Scotland for all our ideas of civilisation
Said – Voltaire and Suzie s
While quizzing visitors to Scotland, ‘language’ appeared in the top ten answers, not because of ‘Gaelic’ or ‘Scots’ but due to a genuine problem with understanding what locals were saying. Visitors have on occasions thought fast-spoken residents were speaking Gaelic (pronounced gallic).
By the eleventh century Gaelic, a tongue originating from Ireland, was becoming a dominant language in Scotland. However, by the sixteenth century it was confined to the northern and western areas. A new law was passed in 1695, encouraging the setting up of English Schools in the Highlands. This regulation was a clear attempt to dissuade people from using the language. In recent years there’s been an upsurge in people learning ‘the Gaelic’.
A helpful guide for visiting tourists:
If someone offers you a Glasgow kiss, refuse. (It’s a less than charming expression for head butting.)
A free house does not mean the drinks are free. (It’s a pub not owned by a brewery.)
Steamboats doesn’t mean ships driven by steam. (It’s an expression of drunkenness.)
A square go is not a boxed set of traffic lights. (It’s someone asking you for a fight.)
A fag is not a gay person. (It’s a cigarette.)
Lifted by the police doesn’t mean raised in the air. (It means arrested.)
Being knocked up doesn’t mean becoming pregnant. (It’s a term used to awaken someone from his or her slumber.)
A Highland fling has nothing to do with extra-marital relations up north. (It’s a Scottish dance.)
Being called ‘hen’ does not mean you look foul. (It’s a term of endearment.)
A nappy is not a napkin for wiping your mouth. (It’s a diaper.)
Ten Scottish words:
Cuddie – horse.
Puddock – frog.
Bubbly Jock – turkey.
Tattie Bogle – scarecrow.
Dyke – wall.
Breeks – trousers.
Minging – rather smelly.
Puggie – gambling machine.
Spirtle – porridge stirrer.
Baffies – slippers.
Visitor: “Can you tell me where the railway station is?”
Scotsman: (wildly gesticulating) “Ochayenaebother
-palit’sdoontheroadandturnleftatthewee…
Visitor: (perplexed) “Are you a tourist too”
“A monument dedicated to the Scottish pastime of doughnut hurling” A useful guide to the pronunciation of Scottish place names
Leuchars – Loo-cars.
Edinburgh – Edin-burr-ah.
Kirkcaldy – Kirk-cawdie.
Culross – Coo-ross.
Milngavie – Mill-guy.
Dounreay – Doom-ray-radio- active-run-fast.
Kingussie – King-ewe-sea.
Gullane – Gillin if you’re posh, Gullan if you’re not.
Peebles – Pea-bills.
Dumfries – Dumb-freeze.
Did You Know?
The words of exclamation, surprise or disgust “Great Scot!” originated in America. The words refer to General Winfield Scott (1786 -1866) – possibly due to his notorious fussiness and pomposity as a presidential candidate.
The lowlanders had their own language ‘Scots’, an offshoot from old English mixed with many European influences. The dilution of ‘Scots’ was hastened by the Union of the Crowns in 1603, when James VI moved his court to London and by the Union of the Parliaments in 1707, when English became the language of Government. At school, “speak properly” meant “speak English”. Thankfully the culling was not fatal and large chunks of ‘Scots’ remain within our diction. Not only that, the lingo seems to be evolving within our own brand of English like any other living vernacular. The posh Scot thinks ‘sex’ is what the potatoes are delivered in.

I am interested in starting up a parent/child activity and workshop center. It would be a bright fun place with lots of toys and activity centers for kids to play on, comfy seats for adults, and a shop filled with only high quality, owner tested and approved products such as slings, toys, cloth diapers and breastpumps. The center would hold several classes for children such as a kids cooking class, art classes, sibling readiness classes etc. Parent and child classes such as one for both for cooking, a special daddy and me series, parent and child yoga etc, and parent only classes and meeting such as budgeting, menu planning, and a few just-for-fun classes, and free meetings for things as (perhaps) La Leche League and diaper free baby, while the kids could play in the play center.
Would you like a center like this? How often would you want to go? What would you be willing to pay? What classes and activities would you want to see?
