ruru, on Facebook I belong to a worldwide group of serious Great Dane breeders and it's a great way to keep in touch and communicate. There's also a special Babblers' group. I don't know what scares you away. Yes, there's been a lot of publicity about privacy, but it's mostly bunkum -- you can control who sees what.

I was just trying to get nbs. It's been a tiring day -- spent hours trying to get stuff transferred from my desktop to my newish laptop -- eventually figured out how to, via Windows easy Transfer which I hadn't realised was already installed on both. A neighbour helped.

How are you doing?

pretty good. You need a dose of Australian sunshine to dry you out. Is it still raining over there?
5:31 am
Michnick

We had two dry days but today is raining pretty consistently. I love the rain and we need it, but it is wreaking havoc on our health!!
5:31 am
lynxxx

Miserable when you are not used to it
5:32 am
Michnick

I can't say I'm not used to it, but this has been the coldest/wettest winter in many years. Great for the country, we are going to have a gorgeous spring.
5:34 am

I was just looking at the snow pictures amazing
5:35 am
Michnick

Snow in Israel? It is pretty, my kids go crazy over it although we don't get too much where we are - on the edge of the desert (just 25 minutes from the Dead Sea as the crow flies.)
5:37 am
Angelsong

hi, all. I went out yesterday and bought some silk floowers and greenery, and put them together in a small spray for my brother. I chose three silk fern (green), two pale yellow roses (one for each of my parents), three white roses (for myself and my two brothers) and six bluebonnets (because he was a Texan, and bluebonnets are the State flower.) I put all of them together, and tied them with a white ribbon, and it turned out just beautifully.
5:38 am
Michnick

Sounds lovely, Angel, what is the occassion?
5:38 am
lynxxx

sounds sweet Angel
5:39 am

my brother's funeral is on Friday.

What a beautiful personal tribute Angel
5:40 am
Michnick

Oh!! I am so sorry, I didn't realize. How awful for you, I am glad you find something beautiful to do for him.
5:40 am
lynxxx

oh Angel, I didn't know, my condolences. How sad
5:41 am
Angelsong

it is only sad because we loved him and will miss him. I know he is with the Lord, and that is not sad; it is a comfort and joy.
5:42 am
ChrissieDee

Grief is the price we pay for love, a price well worth paying
5:42 am
Michnick

That is a beautiful sentiment, Angel, but the living are left to mourn.
5:43 am
Angelsong

we do not grieve for the one who has passed; we grieve for ourselves.
5:43 am
lynxxx

Of course. And now we really understand the meaning behind your flowers choices it makes it all very poignant
5:44 am
Michnick

That is true, but the grief is real nonetheless. I lost my mother just a year a go and I know she is in a better place, but I miss her every day.
5:44 am
ChrissieDee

True Angel, but it hurts anyway, even with a faith as strong as yours obviously is.
5:47 am
ChrissieDee

(((Mich)))
5:48 am
Michnick

Thanks Chrissie and hugs back to you!!
5:48 am
ChrissieDee

Thank you
5:48 am
Angelsong

yes, it does hurt. because I am human, still. the other day, I met my middle brother (who is now the eldest since Melvin is gone) to give him a photo of Melvin for the funeral program. I spent a few minutes with Teddy, and when he left, I broke down. I said, "Lord! I do not have the strength for this!" The Lord replied, "yes, you do. Lean on Me. I have all the strength you need." It immediately made me at peace.
5:52 am
ChrissieDee

Beautiful Angel, I wish your brother sunshine for his final journey on Friday, and I wish you peace
5:53 am
Michnick

G-d is always There for those who call out to Him, but mourning and grieving are natural, human emotions and a part of life. G-d created those as well.
5:53 am
Michnick

I am so happy you recognize the G-d is supporting you Angel, may you always have the peace that comes from a relationship with Him.
5:54 am
Angelsong

He has already made the journey, Chrissie. We're just saying "see you in a bit" on Friday.
5:58 am
Angelsong

I was blessed on Sunday to be at his bedside with my parents and Teddy. Ted and I held his hands and helped him let go of his earthly body in peace. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done, in a way, but I am glad I did i.
6:00 am
Michnick

I was with my two sisters and my husband when my mom passed away, it helped me know she was at peace and helped with the mourning. I wasn't at my dad's side when he passed away and the process was much harder.
6:01 am
Lizlin

Hi all - my condolences, again Angel - a lovely tribute to your brother and "long life" to you Michnick.

Thank you Liz

hi Liz
6:02 am
Lizlin

Hi Lyn - hope all's well with you :)
6:03 am
Angelsong

I have noticed that grief is like tides in an ocean. At high tide, the grief slaps one hard in the face, and pain is overwhelming. Just when it seems no more can be borne, it recedes, and you get to take a breath. It eases for a while, then it is at high tide again. If we had to grieve at that high tide level all at once, we could not survive it. God, in His wisdom, made grief such that it can be borne.
6:03 am

I must go, bye everyone. Bye Angel - hope Fridays ceremony brings some peace to your family

They feed you, keep you and entertain you or just a bit more than just the hotel stay. In the last couple of years the price has gone up, but so has the quality of the accomodations.

It's a doll's head sewn onto a cheap muslin body stuffed with loose cotton fluff. And I think that the muslin is too cheap; I don't think I've seen such flimsy fabric before.
12:36 pm
Nef

The parents and their partners use the dolls to practice diapering and swaddling; it wouldn't take much to tear this fabric. So I'm using some heavy cotton string around the neck of the doll and trying to sew that to the doll's body with regular thread. I'm hoping this will work.
12:37 pm

They can't eat peanut butter, because someone might be allergic, now they can't blow out birthday candles. Soon they will be sent to school in plastic bubbles.

and the idea of germs from blowing out candles is funny.remember the stuff we used to do as kids outside,a mud pie in one hand,a frog you caught in your pocket while munching on a pb&j sammich that you made on the grass in the back yard

just sneaking in and then out again...when bairns have christmas parties or other parties at school, parents have to buy all shop bought produce which is in its original wrapper.no homemade sausage rolls any more, which are alot tastier in my view.
5:19 pm
crosshair

mmmm,sausage rolls
5:19 pm
crosshair

the kind you never see anymore with the flaky coating..
5:21 pm
Dorens

and in our schools, parents are allowed to make/bake their own food. Kids with allergies are taught to be responsible. However, somepeanut allergies are airborne, so a sandwich eaten at the table could put a child into anaphylactic shock. I imagine if it were your child who was in danger, it would make sense to have peanut free zones. But I've never heard of the whole school being peanut free.. Kids can bring in whatever they want, just can't eat the same table with air-borne peanut allergies.. Makes sense to me.
5:21 pm
crosshair

and the funny thing is that there is actually a parts per million limit on fecal matter in automated food processing.bet you do not add that home made!!
5:21 pm
stidmama

speaking as a person with multiple life-threatening food allergies, I think it's appropriate for schools to make sure that when things are distributed in the classroom that there are clear labels and cross-contamination is less likely. Too many people think they're cooking gluten-free (not one of my own issues) but forget they had something with wheat in it on the counter before they made the treat. Or they use the same frying pan for everything and the peanut oil they used for eggrolls has enough residue left over to contaminate something made nut-free.
5:21 pm
Lizlin

Hi all :)
5:22 pm
lilliann

i remember all my school parties crossy, when my mam always made a big tupperware box ful of home made flaky sausage rolls...they were lovely! i also remember missing eating them at my last party at infants school as i was in hospital having my tonsils removed. i was well gutted.
5:22 pm
MollyL

Lots of schools here are peanut free. I think it's a much better idea to do what your school is doing Dorens, and teach kids to be responsible.
5:22 pm
stidmama

We have many children surviving infancy nowadays who would have died long before school-age who need to have accommodations.
5:22 pm
Dorens

Hi liz and stid
5:22 pm
crosshair

the one child in question at my sons school was of the airborne type of peanut sensitivity
5:22 pm
crosshair

so nothign with peanuts on the property
5:23 pm
stidmama

Personally, I react strongly to airborne contaminants from the mint family. Had the classroom windows and door open the other day when a child slathered ben-gay all over their hands... Had to take antihistamines PDQ!
5:23 pm
MollyL

Oh and good point about the fecal matter.
5:23 pm
Dorens

well then crossy, he needed to be very careful of exposure. But not the entire property? Dunno... we have three different lunch periods at my little school, and kids did eat peanuts, just not at the table of the child with the allergy
5:23 pm
lilliann

hi liz,stid and dorens
5:24 pm
Dorens

hi lil... mint? poor stid... one of my favorite aromas
5:24 pm
Lizlin

I've also taught in schools, where a couple of kids had extreme reactions to peanuts - and one child in my class also to latex and a million other things. Had to check everything with his mum. The latex allergy meant he had to wear gloves when playing ball games. But I do think the candle thing here is well over the top!!!
5:24 pm
stidmama

Doren, perhaps your school is bigger than the ones around here? When you only have 200 kids in the school, a child eating PB&J at one end is very likely to pass by or touch something that a highly allergic child cannot avoid.
5:24 pm
lilliann

at my daughter's school they all eat their pack lunches and school dinners together, whatever they are eating or allergic too
5:25 pm
Dorens

we have 400. thought of that as small
5:25 pm
MollyL

Dorens, I think that is the best idea. Kids cannot count on every place they go being "peanut free". Better to teach them how to deal with their allergy.
5:25 pm
lilliann

but saying that they have 2 dinner times and it is a school of atleast 1700 children
5:25 pm
Lizlin

The thing is that although kids are told often not to share their lunches - they still do swap, so it does rely on the responsibility of the kids.
5:26 pm
stidmama

That seems big to me... the K-8 schools around here typically have about 300-400 kids, usually in a couple of different buildings.
5:26 pm
crosshair

my sons public school was 150-200 students who all ate same time
5:26 pm
Dorens

i was always proud of my granddaughter asking if food had nuts because her mother had a nut allergy.Before she had been tested, she knew that she needed to be very careful.
5:26 pm
Lizlin

1700 is I think fairly typical of large high schools in England
5:26 pm
Dorens

anytime something was offered that she didn't know was safe, she would ask
5:27 pm
crosshair

but yes,the child must be taught as soon as possible because in adult like he/she will have to accomidate the world and not the other way around
5:27 pm
crosshair

life
5:27 pm
Lizlin

Very true
5:28 pm
stidmama

With peanuts, in particular, students who are highly allergic (for some reason that seems to be the one that causes airborne issues) simply cannot avoid the air that is recirculated through ducting. I have a dear friend whose child has missed a total of several years' schooling because when the anaphylaxis strikes from the airborne contaminants she is sidelined for many weeks. Each time.
5:28 pm
Dorens

kids CAN be taught just about anything even early
5:28 pm
crosshair

that is exactly why our public school had a total ban on the property stidmama
5:28 pm
lilliann

well, it is alot bigger than when i went to school liz but then we had high schools and then schools you went to for the last 2 years and stopped on at 6th form if you wanted but now they are all put together and called colleges
5:28 pm
stidmama

As adults, we can choose to work in smaller places and in fields where we don't have to deal with the public. And as adults we have the option to use additional medications at well. Children do not have those options at school.
5:28 pm
MollyL

I guess kids like that can't go to public playgrounds, restaurants, movie theaters, ball parks and any number of other places either.
5:29 pm
lilliann

by the way liz, i haven't seen you since.congratulations on being an aussie :)
5:29 pm

wow stid, I thought it had to be in the same room. that is a shame
5:29 pm
Lizlin

Bigger than my 2ndary school too - 600 or so kids then! Thanks lilliann :)
5:30 pm
stidmama

That's right, Molly -- they can't. And they don't. But unless their parents can afford private tutors, the majority of children still need to be educated in the schools.
5:31 pm
Lizlin

I think there should also be more education for other kids, so that they can understand how dangerous these allergies can be.
5:31 pm
stidmama

Anyway, I have papers to grade and supplies to purchase -- funny thing we are talking about food, I am having one of my classes make pancakes this week. Which, of course, I cannot eat... LOL hopefully they will enjoy the experience, though!
5:31 pm
crosshair

the child was home schooled for high school however as our high school is very large 1400-1600 and 600 of that is bussed in from small town nearbye and the logistics of banning that many kids and a property that size for one child was prohibative
5:31 pm
stidmama

Have a lovely evening, all! *poof*
5:31 pm

we had one student who ended up being home-schooled, but her problems were far greater than just peanut allergy
