I think you do not have the information to come to that conclusion. Becoming over zealous dosen't do any good when you are so sure of your point you can't even see that this may be something small that was blown out of perportion. It is easy to think the worst wow those evil schools. I think it is very negative and judgemental when all your knowledge is second hand and most likley more gossip then truth. This is a great possibility and our news services really like to get people riled up and you have givin them exactly what they want. Do you really think a Teacher would allow this kind of thing in their classroom ????

Wow it sounds like me it may be blown way out of perportion. Curiosity is one thing that can be handled in a positive way. It seems to me more of a parenting problem than a reflection on the school.

Hey Pammy I do Zumba two to three times a week and walk..... drink lots of water and limit my processed foods and little soda can't say none but very little I drink lots of green tea. I have 24 more pounds to loose to make my new goal of breaking 200 by my birthday 4/17 so you have a great idea here and I am sooo onboard also have a computer and internet again at home so am going to be on more. Hope all is well with you.... Oh yea I can't diet it makes me hungry I just change some of my habits limit my portions

I now have a headache reading all this and am none the wiser

Exactly..........:}

do you sleep with your eyes open or closed??? seriously welcome to the site

alcohol cooks out of what you mentioned. cough syrup used medicinally is fine with me I think it is what you think I make my own herbal cough syrup out of Elderberries. It has alcohol and is only used as a medicine 11Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with [b]prudence and thanksgiving. this advice in verse 11 says it all to me use with prudence ..... not over use or abuse everything that is ok to drink and eat even falls under that. Do you really think eating a 32oz steak is prudent or wise following the wow. People get stuck on coffee, tea, alcohol and don't see the whole picture.

I research pain coping etc alot and here is a great article on the subject. Also if I waited to learn in person with others I would miss out on alot . So all I have learned is from reading or videos except Zumba but even that is available on video:) Arthritis | Arthritis Today Magazine | Arthritis Foundation Study Shows Tai Chi Improves Fibromyalgia By Brenda Goodman 8/18/10 A new study has found that tai chi, a mind-body practice that combines meditation with gentle, flowing poses, may significantly reduce the spectrum of physical and mental problems associated with fibromyalgia. The study, published in the August 19, 2010 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, randomly split 66 people with fibromyalgia into two equal groups. Both groups met twice weekly for 12 weeks. The first group practiced 60 minutes of tai chi with an experienced instructor, while the second group spent 40 minutes in a health education class followed by 20 minutes of stretching. Researchers measured how well the participants were doing by using the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, or FIQ, which measures pain, physical functioning, fatigue, morning tiredness, stiffness, depression, anxiety, difficulty at work and overall well-being. Based on their answers, patients were given a score from 0 to 100, with higher numbers representing worse symptoms. Though the study was small, the results were dramatic. After 12 weeks of tai chi, participants’ average scores on the FIQ dropped from 63 to 35, a 28-point decrease. The control group, on the other hand, only saw an improvement of about 9 points, taking their average score from 68 to 59. And 35 percent of the tai chi participants were able to stop taking their pain medications as compared to 15 percent of the control group. Previous research has suggested that in order for a treatment to be considered effective for fibromyalgia, it should produce at least a 14 percent improvement in the FIQ. In this case, the average FIQ score in study participants improved by 44 percent as compared to an average 13 percent improvement in the placebo group. Researchers aren’t sure how tai chi may be helping, but they suspect that it probably works on many fronts – movement may increase muscle strength, while meditation promotes tranquility, decreasing the stress and anxiety than can amplify pain. Study author Chenchen Wang, MD, a research rheumatologist at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, has been studying the effects of tai chi on rheumatic diseases for nearly a decade. She says she was not surprised by the magnitude of improvement many people in the study achieved. "Patients with chronic rheumatic conditions always have lots of improvements," Dr. Wang says. "Patients send flowers and cards. My office is full of flowers all the time. They just feel that it really changed their lives." Dr. Wang says study participants were doing Yang-style tai chi, but she thinks that other kinds would work equally well. "It seems like a well-done study," says Leigh Callahan, PhD, an epidemiologist with the Thurston Arthritis Research Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who is evalauting the effects of an 8-week program of sun-style tai chi, which is offered as a class and a DVD from the Arthritis Foundation, in 330 people. "I think it just lends more credence to the fact that physical activity is good for arthritis, and I think the broader the menu we have for people, the better," she adds. Though her results have not been fully analyzed, Callahan says participants in that study, which is being sponsored by The Arthritis Foundation and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have seen improvements in pain, stiffness, sleep, self-efficacy and balance. "We're really affirming what they found," she says.

BYU offers an amazing amount of classes online some free. Although I have had 2 yrs of college I never got my diploma and am going thru BYU online and then the beginning work towards my BA. You can find the info online and they will send your a course description book with all kinds of good info. Some people at my school are using Phoenix University online and like it. Hope any of this is helpful. Terry

Your upcoming storm must be the one that is here and passing through Oregon and so far it hasn't packed the punch it was suppose to but it is very cold and we do have lots of snow and more coming.

PAMMY ......... stay warm and bundled up inside to survive a blizzard. I wouldn't mind if I was home .... The kids are still hoping they cancell afternoon classes but I doubt it unless it gets to a blizzard state

Iggy we are in the Cascades Willamette is a bit further up

Yes Iggy We get so much snow that the elementary has snow suits and sleds for recess

we hardly ever close with snow....

We are still under a Winter Storm Warning till 4pm and boy has the temp dropped But we we are inland 36 miles from Crater Lake we have probably 6 inches

Now theres an idea...... would truley put some zing in the holiday huh

Where do we get those fixed mine isn't working so well either

Cut out a paper bag and use as a pattern just allow alittle more for seams and make the handles go the entire bag both sides and bottom

You Kids are sooooo funny

I do not think it is our job to be the judge and tattle that is between each of us and God and our Bishop. We do not need to go about reporting each others sins or shortcomings

Yes because than arm and leg hair can really cut your time :}

Our bodies are ment to handle bacteria and in fact when we go to far the other way pn trying to protect us from it we end up getting sicker than those of us who do not freak out about dirt and germs.... I am not saying don't wash your hands often and use kleenex but we should concentrate on keeping a healthy immune systom (sp) and we will be less bothered by bacteria

A huge breach and you should talk directly to the bishop about it . They are human and I am sure did not purposfully speak when they shouldn't of. Your faith should be in God The Bishop and his councilars are people who work fulltime jobs and devote their time to serve in the church . Do not jump tp conclusions and talk to the Bishop.

I can wake up whenever needed because of that I do not always sleep well as I am always checking the clock.... I have learned that I enjoy the sleep I get and if I can't sleep I read the scriptures and one of two things happen I really enjoy some chapters and then sleep or I don't make it past the first page and am out.......I do know I get 3 to 4 hours of solid sleep without waking a night and the rest is extra and appreciated

I love mine. I also wear zero - balance shoes who do the same thing.
