I use Craigslist all the time to make deals. Just curious if anybody else uses it?

If anyone has an IEP coming up here are some ideas for the objectives.

The objectives should be clear and measurable.

Clear, measurable objectives should be specific with reagard to:

Who

What

When

With what support

How many/long/often

The school team should ask parents ahead of time for their input on what they woudl like their child to work on. And if possible, send a draft home for parents to review before the meeting. If not, be sure to bring your ideas for objectives to the meeting in writing or send them to teh teacher before the meeting. At the meeting, all can be reviewed and evaluated.

When I was little my mom called me stinky bottom so now we call Marcel stinky lol. My

husband calls me Dody because my first name is Dolores and I call him Big Nose when Im

irritated with him. So what are YOUR nic names?

I have this issue that I love books, I love the arts and I love watching movies, but I cant always understand what people really mean by what their saying, what IU'm hearing in movies and sometimes it gives me headaches to read a book, becuase I cant understand the "full meaning', the 'whole picture" or "whole concept" of what someones saying, or what I'm reading.

I hate this I want so much to enjoy books the way my hearts telling me I could.. I just have to know that there are drug(medication) treatments to help those autistic people like me that can't get to full understanding og what I read or hear( ligustic processing) I'm told its called..... is there any drugs to help this?

This is a favorite topic here on the blog, money saving strategies.  Okay, here goes my ramble...

The closest grocery store to me, a Kroger-based market, recently did a huge remodel and expansion, knocking out several other storefronts.  They put in wine racks atop foofy woodsy flooring, an enormous deli area, new tiling, self-checkouts, an expanded floral department with fountains, you name it.

 This is their official Grand Opening week.  According to my neighbor, they handed out roses to lady customers, but I missed that day. They also had boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.49 lb.  I bought several packs.   As I began transferring the first pack of chicken into freezer bags, I noticed that the whole thing appeared to have been repacked and the chicken felt slimy, had some odor, and --the worst part of all--there appeared to be metal shavings on one piece.  The other two packs were perfectly fine.  Naturally, I took the offending chicken back to the store.  To my surprise, the gave me double my money back minus a dollar.  I think they shorted me a dollar because they were kind of nervous and were worried about disgusting raw chicken juices getting all over the place.

Of course, I was happy to have mostly double my money back in my pocket.  The raw chicken juices were a bit worrisome and just completely gross, though.  So on my way out of the store I took several of the free disinfectant wipes available for wiping down grocery carts.  On the way to my car, I got to feeling a bit disgruntled about my missing dollar and I got to thinking about possible chicken juices in my car.  So I went back and got a fistful of those disinfectant wipes and I wiped down a good portion of the dash and front doors and seats of my car.  

MONEY SAVING TIP #1:  Don't be lazy about returning food that is substandard.  

MONEY SAVING TIP #2:  Use free store disinfectant wipes to detail the inside of your car.  read more »
