Hey Alty - love the picture! :)

Thanks HC, isn't she cute? Who could ever eat something that adorable? ;)

How are you today?

I'm good. I actually had to ask someone what day it was though... sad. LOL! :)

I do love my job though. So, I guess its all good. :)

Hey all, anyone around?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JARED !!!!!:D :D

Hey everyone... just popped in to say a quick Hi.
Got to go do so more painting (we needed extra cash... so I was up for hire, lol). This is getting old real quick! My arms have no feeling to them anymore, haha. Who knew painting was such a good exercise?

Happy B'day to Alty's little man! Big-10.. woo hoo!!

Happy painting RP! :)

Yes, Happy Birthday to Jare Bear! Watch for his card Alty!

It's quiet around here today!

Hi everyone, thanks for the birthday wishes for my little boy, my little man. I can't believe he's ten.

Please check out this thread, I need some advice and support.

Starby, if you're around and available, I really need to talk. Be forewarned, I've been crying, see the link to know why.

Alty
Really sorry to hear that about jared , wish I could give you some advise but unfortunately I have nothing.

Here's a Big Hug
Attachment 11842

Thanks M, Jared saw the cake, wants to know when you're going to send it here. ;)

We'll be okay, I just really need some advice, I don't trust the info on the internet. I do trust the psychologist and my doctor, but from everything I've read, Ritalin is not the answer, only something that masks the underlying problem. I want to do everything I can to help him, but are drugs the answer?

Thanks for reading it, I appreciate it. I'm hoping that J9 or Sneezy might have some insight, seeing as they work in the medical field. I just don't know what to do. I hate making a decission without all the info.

I love that little man so much, I just want to do right by him.

Thanks also for the hug, I needed that. :)

Happy birthday Jared!
Hugs and lots a love...

Aw, thanks Auntie Starty. :)

A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet and says,

"My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?"

The vet says, "let's have a look at him."

He picks the dog up and examines his eyes and teeth and says, "I'm going to have to put him down."

"What?" exclaims the man, "because he's cross-eyed?"


"No," says the vet, "because he's really heavy."

Haha Friend... haha
Alty, I saw your thread about Jared... I want you to know, it doesn't have to be worrisome. This can be very enlightening and just think of the wonders that will come when he can concentrate and think clearly... red dyes first along with Yoga/meditation... I say start with that... HUGS...
(jesushelper has some great meditation techniques... I wish he could get here to talk about it!)

LOL sorry... someone emailed it and I just had to share :)

I got that email from someone just awhile back Batman... too funny.

Now it's probably time for me to say sorry for the one I just sent you!. LOL!. oh and you too Starty... haha! Talk about a grouch!

Hey Starbs... hugs to ya;)

HUGS HUGS HUGS back to you too Starty... and to you! It's hug day! :)

LMAO, good one M. :)

Starby, did you share that poke joke with everyone? If not, you should.

Starty, thank you for the support. I'm doing some research about diet and other options for kids with ADHD. Our doctor is great, I trust him completely, so if there are alternatives to Ritalin he'll be the first to recommend them. I'm willing to try everything, even the Ritalin, but I want to exhaust every natural remedy first.

Thanks all, everyday you prove yourselves to me, when I'm at my lowest you are all there to help pick me up, words cannot express how much you all mean to me. Great, more tears. What's wrong with me lately? Is this menopause? ;)

Awww, HUGS Alty...

Happy Birthday Jared. Have a good one.
About the nutrition, and cutting out certain foods and preservatives and etc, I believe will help.. Take care, and everything will be fine.

As Start has mentioned, meditation is a great tool to use to be able to learn to focus and become better focused. In Children, In Adults, Meditation has shown and been proven to greatly improve on many many things. Ranging from focus, stress relief, also used as treatment for many addictions , etc... better concentration is a great benefit.

Aww, thanks Joe, you got here before I could ask you to! You are great!
I hope you and the family are good. I am chugging along here, working hard and trying to be as good as mom as I was before;) Take care and lots of hugs for you too!

I will have to write a lot for later, sending a pm about meditation , etc...

Startover, Your doing awesome. You as a mom is at your best always, no need to try, your doing the mom thing very well. (;

Take care and lots of hugs for you and yours...

That email was hilarious Attachment 11851

Hi guys.

M, did we lose Guy? I don't think he wants to tell us about his girlfriend.

Guy, we're all old people, we live vicariously through you, so spill your guts, we want to know everything. ;)

Where's Rebbie been lately? I miss her, and Chery. :(

Hi String man, how are you today?

A little water logged.

Well tomorrow comes at 6 am so you guys be good... nite.

You're leaving already? But you just got here. :(

All right, if you must. Goodnight dear Stringer. :)

Come on Guy... we're waiting:rolleyes:

Night stringer!

Okay, I think we lost Guy.

So M, you tell me about your girlfriend. :D
