I always think of Conan the Barbarian when I see the word Nasalcrom or any cold remedy using the syllable crom. Perhaps it comes from Conan invoking Crom when he has a cold.

That reminds me, have people seen the comic about the artist who has Conan the Barbarian as a spirit guide? [link]

RIP Leonard Nimoy (I hadn't realized he was 83).

Oh, no! I'm so glad he was able to do some interesting things later in his life, especially Fringe.

I cannot see those Magic Eye things to save my life. Though maybe now that I had eye surgery I should try again?

I can't either.

OK, have applied coffee, tea, Flonase, Nasalcrom, Claritin, Aleve, miso soup, shirred eggs, and chocolate covered espresso beans and have gotten the headache I woke up with to recede. Time to get this day underway.

I'm glad one of those things finally worked. I gave in and had a small cup of caffeinated tea today because the restaurant didn't have decaf and my sinuses really needed me to drink something hot.

Yay innards!

Just ordered new glasses in purple. Gotta love Zenni - glasses with progressive lenses for less than a pair of frames at the eye doctor's office.

I love that comic.

Pretty!

Pretty, Suzi!

I am so frustrated with mac's behavior I am revisiting my old haunts of web searching for parental guidance. The consequences are not truly having a change in his behavior, he is still not: taking notes in class, writing down assignments, making school a priority, or even turning things in that I know are due.

If he did JUST that last one he would have had electronics back.

No, instead his energy goes to deception.

so then I read an article like this: [link]

and I am left wondering, what does that look like for us? how do I give him cues and work with him? I go to work, I do my job. I cook and clean in the house. I mostly get up on time. I have done the sitting with him for work, but when work is not brought home? when I never even know about it? when he lies? what then? I do not get her model.

I just copied that example comic to my desktop. Is the universe a worthy opponent? if not, laugh.

I may need to buy those books. Along with the collected Girl Genius, the full series of The Equalizer, along with . . .

msbelle, is there any way you could enlist the teacher's help? Have her send the assignments to you in an e-mail with a schedule for when they're due? Then you can have them ready for mac to do even if he doesn't bring it home.
