Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 Judi, I would be so ambivalent about this one, too. I think is going to have a cell phone that she MUST carry with her at all times when she goes away to college next year. My question (for myself and you) is what can you do?? If she is going to have an x-ray and a possible cast, all you can do is sit and hold her hand?? Sounds like she's doing the right thing. I'd call for an update and then decide.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 You're right--there is nothing I could especially do there that I can't do here. But I'd be THERE, ya know? Having heard the explanation of the injury and how nonchalant she is about it, I'm not so sure that it's that serious, although I'm not thrilled that she is ending up waiting until tomorrow to get it xrayed. I thought breaks should be set as soon as possible, but can a break in the foot even be set? At any rate, here's the explanation--I'm still checking to see exactly who Bobby is! And wondering how she can possibly be passing any classes if she writes like this! ;o) << he wasnt on the bed... we were beating each other up in the hall way and i think when he stepped on the foot that he cracked it then later when i jumped off the bunk bed i didnt land right and i think that might have broken it... either that or it broke when i stumped it.>> Re: that's 2 Judi, I would be so ambivalent about this one, too.

I know its hard to sit home when a baby has been hurt..but we have to remember that our babies are adults and need to become as independent as possible (yea...right!!...lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2000 Report Share Posted October 26, 2000 She is NOT! Only turned 18 last week! ;o) You should have read the e-mail Ralph sent--a list of insurance info followed by " let us know how it goes. " There's a caring parent!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2000 Report Share Posted October 26, 2000 lol! I wish! Actually, you could use descriptive transformational generative nesting to analyze that para- uh, sent-- uh, group of clauses and phrases. But why would you want to? Maybe I can embarrass her into restating whatever it was she was trying to communicate. Gee, show people on this list one simple example of grammar deconstructionalism and they never forget! ;o) Judi Re: that's 2 From: Ralph & Judi Lowenthal <lowenthalrj@...> << he wasnt on the bed... we were beating each other up in the hall way and i think when he stepped on the foot that he cracked it then later when i jumped off the bunk bed i didnt land right and i think that might have broken it... either that or it broke when i stumped it.>> Judi, I would think that you would punish any child of yours who writes so inattentively by making her do that transformational grammar diagramming thingy on the whole " paragraph " ! ;-) Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
