Woweee!!! They should be featured on one of those Treasure Appraisal shows! I bet they were shocked.

Wow! Sounds like some nice stuff! I bet they can get some amazing things buying the whole locker contents like that. I've met a few people who do the same. It would seem so fun to me...like buying the biggest surprise box ever. Your post reminded me though of a sad/funny situation. One time...

HI Jen001, I wish I could answer your question, but I had also never heard of Desmopressin, or any drugs that could help with Bedwetting. I've researched some now, and the below links may be helpful. The CarePlace link is to a site that is absolutely wonderful for support groups for many...

If you don't "do" yard sales, you are missing out! Remembering the yard sale of my dreams. My Mom, (yard sale cohort) and I arrive at a yard sale, and the first items we see are the ever present Household Junk tables. I quickly walk past, scanning to see if it's a "good" sale, or if we should...

First an Update on the Bus Policy. The Transportation Director called me this am and said he had spoken with the Driver. According to her she had to turn the bus around and go down the road a bit to get cell service. He says she unnecessarily wasted 15 to 20 minutes doing that and trying to...

Sounds potentially useful. Thank you so very much for the instruction! After all the many forums I've been a part of, not once did they have something similar to this Rep rating.

I'm extremely new. I can't even figure out HOW to give any reputation.

Thank you Musicmom, I am calling him again tomorrow as he did not get back to me today. I have already contacted more parents and they totally support taking this issue to the School Board if we have to. The next meeting is on the 14th. edit addition: I would have thought the bus <I>should</I>...

Hmm, It is definitely time to sit with him and explain that when it comes to: RULES - meaning the important ones that don't slide by "just because" and GUIDELINES - as in preferably it will be a certain way, but sometimes, for many reasons, (decided by the parent at the time) it is alright to...

Very scary Jen! Imagine what must happen to some children who don't have parents to even be there to pick them up. Being kicked off in a wrong neighborhood. It's that kind of thing that makes it important for us to not depend on the school to keep our children safe. One of my neighbors is a...

I guess we are not so unusual. We too say I love you often every day to each other, and somehow have gotten into a "I love you better" "I love you bestester" kind of game. We kiss and hug through out the day too. The "I love you even when I'm mad" though is probably the most important one. On...

Some very funny methods! Wonderful technique Hannah's Mom! The one I have used and read about alot is to be "unable to hear" certain tones of voice. Works best when it's not a reply to something you said. As in: "I'm sorry, dear daughter/son, I cannot understand you when you talk that way...

I just noticed that his Topic was moved to Middle Childhood \ Preadolescence. This is a General parenting post regarding Bus Policies. If I had not mentioned the age of my children it wouldn't be here. Their ages are irrelevant to the thread. Ah well, Hopefully I shall get some General replies...

Thank you both. I am eagerly awaiting my second call back from the Bus Garage Admin., which he promised to make as soon as he had spoken with the Driver. I (and the other parents I've managed to contact so far) am fairly sure it's going to take a visit and discussion with the District School...

Ok, *takes big deep breath* It's very late, and I kept thinking I'd get to the last page...was so hooked I kept reading. Now, I'll try to post some of the thoughts that ran through my head as I went... to the original poster: Many good suggestions have been made and many more are to be found...
