Have you tried taking Emend? It's the wonder drug they've been giving my husband during chemo to prevent vomiting. It's fucking amazing. It's fairly new, also pricey, but would be worth it in your situation.

On the eating thing, I'm guessing you've been tested for celiac.

No way that I know, although you can set it so it doesn't ping google, technorati, et al.

Wow. Can you even imagine the context of that specific day? "Hey, let's go ahead and put a lion in the sidecar for today's go 'round."

Wow. BHI might want to grow a personality.

I believe the most culturally appropriate thing for me to comment here is "First!!!"

Classic.

And, my own grammar skills have degraded to the point that I'd suggest:

"That trailer got so cold on that morning I saw ice in the toilet; all the pipes burst, and Suzi cried."

However, I cannot explain why I'd suggest it, or if it follows a single flippin' rule. BTW, if you come across my formerly bright mind, can you send it my way?

Re: Painting my kitchen cabinets was a great idea — Umm not.

I was going to say I have an entire kitchen that matches your pantry situation, but then realized I, in fact, have an entire life that matches your pantry situation. I am a rock star when it comes to starting things. The finishing part? Not so good.

I know. Unbelievably inexpensive. A couple of bake sales would pay for one.

Here, I found some speed bumps. They're damn cheap. I'd offer to donate a couple in honor of the neighborhood kids. http://snurl.com/speedbumps

Ah, Camarillo. I spent a couple summers housesitting for my grandparents in Fillmore when I was in college. Small towns. Letter to the editor? As for the HOA, don't they make rubber speed bumps that are less expensive to install? I cannot believe their insurance allows them to go w/out the speed bumps. You must not have filed a claim against their insurance when DG was hit. Is that even up to code?

We live on a street that is essentially a dead-end, but has 2 side streets the come into it. At the evening rush hour, commuters like to cut the signal by whipping down our street. Our neighborhood has reported it to the police so many times. They come hang out at the end and hide to catch the twerps, but it's still an issue, albeit a smaller one. If you haven't reported it, I would, especially since you know exactly who it is.

Re: Wow, I’m Among the Elite! Are you?

califmom — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:03:18 -0000

I have my elitist holiday booked for Thanksgiving. Kauai. Can't wait. Still trying to scrape together the money for the flight. Because I'm an elitist, I'll be looking for the lowest airfare I can find for my family.

What a crock. I guess the RNC is just jealous that McCain-Rolled hasn't made the rounds.

I keep a pack of those Glide flossers in the drawer next to my bed and another in the car. Won't put the pounds on, and your dentist will love you. Now, get your ass back on twitter.

Hey, you're writing. Looking forward to the next installment. I love finding out that my tweeps can produce more than 140 characters at a go. Kudos. Now, get back to work!

Re: Democrats, Heads UP! The GOP is riding the Twitter train outa town

califmom — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:32:24 -0000

Amen. The Democrats' presence (or lack thereof) in social media is downright negligent. It is more than a missed opportunity. It is a shirking of responsibility as leaders in 2008. Get with the programs, folks.

Re: Opening new doors | A View from Judi Sohn

califmom — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 02:11:40 -0000

Judi,
I came to this post by way of the BlogHer post by Leslie Madsen Brooks. I too have a child with Asperger's (and Tourette's) who is quite gifted.

We are in a legal dispute with his former (private) school regarding what we believe to be discrimination based on his disabilities (illegal under the ADA, Title III).

Although I have never mentioned the school's name and blog "anonymously", I have been cautious of how I discussed the situation on my blog.

That said, as things have heated up on the legal front, I noticed in my stats that the school began reading my blog, going back through my posts--most likely printing them out. I actually "outed" them as a reader of my blog, still protecting their identity, but making them aware that I knew what they were doing.

Fortunately, we've had an attorney involved and advising us, which has helped immensely. I was trying to do it all, and nearly had a breakdown in the process. We will see how it plays out. But, I'm sure my blog will come up either in mediation or court.

I do feel strongly that I have provided them no ammunition (good or bad) regarding the case, but reading your post makes me wonder.

Thank you for sharing an obviously painful experience. And, all the best to your daughter. It is wonderful to read that you have found a school that "gets" her. What a blessing.

We have opted to homeschool (actually, unschool) our son, which has worked out beautifully. I only wish I could take away the horrid experience he and we had to endure to get here.
