Here's what I've done today. Sat and thought and thought and thought. And did more thinking while I cleaned out an empty brooder coop and moved some chicks from inside the house into it (in the garage). Then did more thinking while I advertised chicks for sale on craigslist. Then called a...

I dehydrate zucchini "chips". When I feel like my kid isn't getting enough veggies (in the winter/spring), I pull out some from storage (glass canning jars, not processed), grind into a powder, and "hide" in pizza sauce. Same for yellow squash and dried cauliflower which I hide in mac-n-cheese...

My hands do work enough to clean a little but not enough to do a good enough job for other people. my teen helps me clean at home. on federal ssdi. i qualify for medicaid when dropped from hubby's insurance so i'm only concerned about co-pays when that happens. no help from bio dad, and right...

Thanks for all of the responses. HolaChicka: My hands don't work very well and I suffer from debilitating migraines (among other things) so refinishing furniture probably wouldn't work well. Have done medical transcription and other things (Used to be a secretary) but every place I've found...

Colorado. Gonna need to move closer to Denver. That's where my Teen's therapies are. Might be willing to relocate. Once I lose Hubby's insurance, might need to find all new doctors and therapy groups anyway.

Okay, don't let the title of this thread mislead you. I know there's no real way to make fast money, under the table, by doing virtually nothing, but here's what I'm going through. My Teen has seizures, has OCD and multiple developmental disabilities, and will probably always need to live with...

Been a little crazy here and it's already late but thought I'd close the day (and my computer) tonight with a little update. No more seizures from my Kid. Well, not convulsing ones anyway. Subclinical "staring", yes. Underwent a real personality change afterwards, so I'm working hard to...

You get so much done that I get tired just reading about what you do! Your naps are well deserved. And Trouble ... well, crack that whip! Enjoy your company. You deserve to be complimented on all you've done.

Thanks, SD. We're calling this week to set up marriage counseling. He's not hearing me when I tell him my kid comes first. Sometimes he acts like such a child ... throwing tantrums, fighting with my kid over who gets to change the channel or close the garage door. Expecting me to do all of the...

Thanks for all the help. It's one battle after another here. My kid's getting really bored without being able to get on the computer. EEG scheduled for Tue. Wed has appt with insurance autism coordinator. Still waiting for neuro doc office to return my call for appt there. Not sleeping. Not...

I pm'd Abi this afternoon. Hoping she might have some insight from her unique perspective. Good to know that a second seizure can be prevented. I just wish it didn't take so long to get appointments for all of these tests and evaluations! We were just invited by in-law's family to an easter...

I don't have a diagnosis but if there are a lot of sounds, I have troubles differentiating the ones people are making when they talk to me. And the wind out here ... wowsers! Spring is the worst because it rarely quits. Gusts of 50 mph and upwards are normal. By the end of the day, I just want...

Here you've been so supportive of me and what I'm going through, and you're having your own troubles. I'd love to smell your house right now (ok, I realize that looks a little weird but ...) ... I love how my house smells when I've cleaned AND have a crockpot of chili bubbling away. But I...

Thank you, Deb. Already opened the link and will read. Good to be able to do more research. I feel so helpless. Will contact Abi. Thanks.

Thank you, Saving. Does he get them often? Is he on medication? I researched most of the day today and found a lot of autistic-driven seizures can be "lessened" by increasing Vitamin B-6 and magnesium in the diet. Gonna try that. Son helped me today by writing the food sources of these on...

My son had a seizure yesterday. His first. I have never been so terrified in my life. My throat still hurts from all the screaming. Heard the thud and found him seizing on the floor by the computer. Hubby and I had already finished working on the goat pen or we might not have found him for an...

I've found my local wal-marts don't give out frosting buckets because it's against the rules (why only here?) but Sam's bakery has never turned us down, unless they didn't have any. I personally wouldn't use a non-food-grade for food items even with a mylar bag but I do use them for non-food...

More than thousands. Everyone who's expecting a tax refund check won't be getting one. That's what my news station said last night.

That's why I don't use the vacuum sealer for the jars when I store the dried fruits and veggies. Concerned about pulverizing them! But if you dehydrate appropriately, they'll keep for a long time in a dark, dry, cool place. Just screw on the top fairly tightly (so no bugs can get it) and you...

I'm only on page 9 of this thread but so tired I want to go to bed. Couldn't leave without commentng that I absolutely need to come back tomorrow to finish reading. Sounds like the paleo diet? I've been thinking about doing that. My kid is gluten-free and I'm trying to get him dairy free but he...
