world

right? or is it?

Sherry,

As I write to you, there are helicopters over my house, and cars being

diverted from Broad St. past my house to make way for the massive police

motorcade for a fallen police officer. Chuck Cassidy was shot about a mile

from

my house, after walking into a Dunkin Donuts during a robbery. The guy

who shot him is a 21 year old kid, who fled to Miami, was put on the FBI 10

most wanted list, and they caught him yesterday. Duff and I haggle with

moving all the time, but we love city living, adore our house (if I could pick

it

up and take it with me, I would) and have amazing diverse neighbors who are

all good people just trying to raise children. I know that this isn't the

best living situation, and when we talk about where we'd live, we can never

seem to pinpoint that place (it would have to be local, to be near our adult

kids and families). Plus, sometimes the evil you know is better than the

one you don't, ya know?

PS they just announced 283 schools in Broward county are now on lockdown...I

didn't even know we had that many schools. And they're all overcrowded. Anyone

want to move down here?

HAve you thought about where to move to? That always creates another

problem with living, working, services.

We opted out of cities because of all the reasons that you listed.

Our last big city was Norfolk, VA. But we lived near Philly and near

HArrisburg in PA. We live an hour or so north of Atlanta now. The

thing is that in big cities there are more services and service

proiders. Everything is trade off.

There are medications to help with PMS - maybe one of them would help

. OR what about some of the really low does B/c pills which ease

the hormonal struggle??

I am finding (out of deperation ) that an off label use for Benedryl

for ELie is to calm him down!! Much better than all the

antipsychotics, amphetamines, etc.

Hi Sara...just an aside they finally caught the guy and the officer was killed.

Drama over for another day.

We've tried just about everything for PMS and BC pills sent her up the

wall...she tried to rip her nipples off and they were all bloody and well, you

get the picture. I just bought some benedryl and may give it a try again for

her...it was actually suggested on certain sites for the eps stuff. Many years

ago she reacted to it like it was speed, but maybe she's changed. Oh Lord, I

need sleeeeeeeep. Thanks for the suggestions and you're right; the big city has

the services but also the crime.

OUr big dramas are a car stopped for erratic driving - the passenger

was make meth in the back seat and the driver wanted some!!!

Or how about this police report " someone came on my property and

stole something, but I don't know what " .

or wedding invitations - immediate family only and all the people sit

in the moddle because they are related to both sides???

Benedryl has so many uses that are not on the label, but if a person

can handle it, my favorite is the calming nauture and ofcurse the

sleeping effect.

LOL LOL....these sound like episodes from " Cops " . We get alot of these

too...someone goes right back into the bank he just robbed to cash a check etc.

definitely gonna give that benedryl another try...dh just reminded me after I

said''well WE decided to put her on the risperdal " that we actually didn't. We

begged them for something to give her as needed when she was totally out of

control and they insisted on risperdal. Well I hope he can fix it now as I

really don't like looking at these spastic movements all day. Scary.

Sherry,

Don't give a full dose. I usually start with a quarter dose and work my way

up over a succession of doses. It revs up my " normal " children on a full dose.

liquid.)
