'Conviction (1)'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Oh, Cashmere, I'm so sorry.
And poor Emmett! And Emmett's parents! All the good healing~ma in the world for the days post-surgery, and of course surgery~ma for the day itself. I bet he'll be the hit of school, though, with his cool nose cast.
Timelies, in an I-ate-too-much-chocolate-yesterday way.
It's the sort of standardized testing which counts (in the higher grades--he's only in third) for/against the student, teachers, and school districts.
Cindy, these tests actually count towards the student's grades? If so, in what way? I ask because I've done a lot of research on standardized tests for school and all the experts, including the test makers, say that these tests should NOT be used to determine student achievement and should only be used for assessing a teacher/school/district.
Cindy-I mostly skipped today, but I did see your request. Best thing for him to do is to not stress. Get sleep, read directions, and do the best he can. He'll be fine.
Good surgery-ma to Emmett, and calm-ma to his parents.
Perkins! I didn't get a tamarind ball!
Boo hoo.

Thanks AmyLiz. Emmett's completely unphased by it. His Mom and I are thoroughly phased. It's routine surgery. He'll be under about 10 minutes. This surgeon pretty much does nothing but pediatric nose fixing every Wednesday it's that common. They pop the nose back in place and he wears a cast for a week and then there's another week of no contact sports and then he's all better. We hope.
Aye caramba. I just think about my friends whose first child had heart defects and needed major surgery twice a year until she died at age four. Or my ex-GF who had major surgery regularly all through her childhood. Eeep.
Nosema~ to Emmett.
Nosema to Emmett and parent non stressma to David, EM AND JZ. I remember my surgery being harder on my parents than it was on me. A fact that I milked until it milked no more.
All the good operationma and fast healingma in the world to Emmett.
Nose-ma to Emmett and calm-ma to his parents.
