guster I was just looking at roasted cauliflower soup recipes last night. There is one with white cheddar I want to try one day. flamingo can you PM me the recipe, too, please! nam2013 I’m sorry you all are sick and not able to go on your trip. I’m glad you can reschedule it. That was going to be my plan if I didn't get any ideas from you guys, but the gratin is really easy to prep and I just have to put it in the oven now.

dapostrophe I have friends who are, I think the term is "attachment parents"? Like breastfeed till 4 or so, cosleep, only wear the baby (don't believe in strollers), don't believe in discipline, etc. I agree with some of it, but I think they are the ones that push it too far. Anyway, to each their own, the kids are cute and sweet, so whatever floats their boat. But she recently shared an article on social media about how vaccines are bad and about the "right to choose" for your family. Then she flew her unvaccinated 3 y/o and 3 month old to a much less developed country for a week. What about her children's right to receive appropriate, science-based medical care and be able to avoid an illness that is almost 100% preventable?

nam2013 that sucks, I’m sorry. peachsmama you’re free!!! Yay!!! guster an easy cauliflower side I do is to just chop it up, toss it in olive oil and chopped garlic, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and then broil until the cheese is melted. Yummy and easy! Super easy. I usually just do evoo and salt and pepper but I bet the garlic and Parmesan really give it the extra edge

Yeah my first reaction was "What a bonehead" quickly followed by "those poor kids!" If you want to ignore science and modern medicine when it comes to yourself, by all means. But give me a damn break when you're taking such a risk with your kids' health.

But it's flat wrong to avoid well-check visits, refuse to administer analgesics, not give ABX as instructed, etc. I see the people in anti-vax groups doing all of this.

Can you fly to underdeveloped countries without the proper vaccinations? I always thought you had to show proper documentation for that sort of trip.

sands42 I'm am amazed at your ability to find places to do your homework where the kids are entertained. nam2013 I'm sorry your trip is canceled. Hope DD feels better. How are you feeling? I'm promise I'm not a secret anti-vaxer but if I were, I would not encourage others to join in. DH is suppose to be flying home mid-afternoon tomorrow when we may have 60mph winds so he is attempting to catch a flight tonight ahead of the storm. If it doesn't happen, he could be stuck until Sunday. He sent me a picture of the toilet in his hotel room. There is a phone mounted on the wall next to it, like a corded phone. Why?

I know they do see a pedi, so I am assuming it is one that will allow them to not vaccinate. I have no idea about other meds. I hope they are complying. And I assume they will have to vaccinate before the kids start school...

I might investigate this. Maybe that's why she posted it? B/c she was mad she had to give them the shots, but she did? I have not asked her b/c, honestly, I just did not want to have proof. A closer friend of hers (who is a medical professional) told me that she did not, but maybe she was wrong?

kim22 I just tried to find a gif of Monica telling Joey never to call her from the phone in his bathroom. Apparently, it doesn't exist. Just imagine it here.

I am leaving work soon to take B to the allergist. I had to bring a cooked lentil and a cooked chick pea b/c he tested borderline for both in the blood test and apparently there's no skin test for those, so he will make one from what we brought. I believe he will also be tested again for peanuts.
I am holding out some sort of hope he will grow out of his allergies.

I may have very visibly recoiled when the principal mentioned them at the kinder registration/information night. DNW unvaccinated kids around mine, or vice versa for that matter.

peachsmama first day as a free woman, right? Congratulations on your new chapter! Yes! The boys had an ear check, both clear. Then we did lunch at Tom and chee and the aquarium and icecream. My mom came, thank God. The boys were wired all day. They napped on the way home. Now I'm setting up my new computer- for the second time.

Someone asked about this when I went to our registration info session and I had to stifle a laugh. Dad seemed upset that they made a point to say, at least 3 times, your child WILL NOT be admitted without the proper vaccination records. He wanted clarifications and the presenter confirmed, nope, your kid cannot attend if they don't have their shots. He got up and left and I wondered if he went home and told his life, "we messed up."

Today has been a whirlwhind at work, but productive. One of my co-workers is moving to CA at the end of next month so a few of us got lunch today to plan his going away party. I had a pulled pork sandwich and tater tots. It was amazing and we had a blast. The party will be a lot of fun!
We are getting hit by a huge coastal storm tomorrow. Preschool sent out a notice not to send food that needs to be heated(didn't know that was ever an option) in case they lose power and that if it is out for an extended period, they will close. Hopefully we don't lose power because the last time was three days and I need that now like I need a tear in the butthole! Haha! Also all the bosses are away at a training in SC this week so they aren't around to close work if need be. That would be the only benefit to this that I can think of.

Also I wish I got any decent pictures of Colin from school today. He's been growing out the top of his hair so DH combed it all forward and put some gel in it to spike just the front of it. So. Damn. Cute.
