Had allergy testing and then shots for years -
I am highly allergic to dust mites (off the scale!) and had allergy shots for 4 years. As far as I can tell, it really did no good. I have had no carpet in the house we built for 7 years now, everything in the bedroom encased, run 2 HEPA filters in the bedroom and 1 in my office 24/7, and I still suffer quite a bit. I was retested not too long ago. My test still shows very high sensitivity to dust mites and not really much reaction to anything else (just like before the shots). I know people who have had great success with allergy shots. Unfortunately, I am not one of them. It is worth a try! 
2 kids, 2 shots, 2 cases of mild chickenpox
It certainly didn't prevent it for my kids, but they both had very mild cases. My poor daughter had it on Christmas and had to spend the entire with her mom because she was contagious.
Great idea! And add a session at Glamour Shots sm
or some other photography studio that specializes in making people look glamorous. Not only will she have her makeover, she'll have the photos to prove it! 
It is indoor accidents. (m)
He does go pee and poop outside but he is having a lot of accidents inside as well. I was unsure how long I should be keeping him out of the crate at one time. A lot of times I am watching him but he just goes and I am picking him up as he is doing it. Thanks for any suggestions.
Accidents happen... sm
I guess I'd have to fire myself since I'm the cleaning lady around here because sometimes I occasionally break things accidentally. I guess that's the risk one takes with a cleaning person/service, but they're human and mistakes happen.
My lab mix was pee trained in one day at about 6 weeks old, only a few poo accidents- sm
As soon as I got Walter home, the very second we got out of the car I put him down in the yard where I wanted his potty place to be and he peed immediately. Then I put him on a schedule where I religously put him in the potty place as soon as he woke up from a nap, about 15-20 minutes after eating, and before we went to bed. I also kept an eagle eye on him almost consistently for the first week or so (not hard because he was so cute)... he stayed on a dog bed in my office when I was working and the instant he started sniffing at anything I picked him up and took him to the potty place... a couple times I was running with him and he started to dribble before I got there. Sniffing means he is looking for a place to go! Make no bones about it, he is not doing anything else!
As far as pooing, puppies go pretty consistently about a half hour after eating. They have really tiny bladders so you can count on this. No matter what I was doing we went outside at that time. Whever I heard a tiny whine I take him to potty place. I figured he had a belly ache just like a baby might and usually he would go number two. The few times he did poo in the house was my fault. I ignored the whining or was not paying attention. I swear to you... Walter has never ever ever peed in my house. But to be honest, when he was a puppy whenever I brought him to visit another house he almost instantly peed out of nerves. So embarrassing. When I realized he did that I had him meet my friends outside of their homes! He would wiggle in delight but pee.
But for the first few weeks, I never left this dog alone at all and my big priority was to get him housebroken asap. You may not have that option if you have to leave for work or something. Walter went with me on errands and whenever I let him out of the car he would pee. So he also loves riding in the truck because he did it so much.
When I got Walter he was a little under 6 weeks old... pretty young. So I think I became his mom pretty quick and he was pretty moldable. I have made plenty of mistake, though, like letting him sleep on my bed and now he is 120 pounds and still does that. I don't know too much about puppy pads, but I would think that is still encouraging the dogs to pee in the house. Good luck! 
I would also look up stories of teenage car accidents (sm)
and show them to her, the more sad and terrible the better. I would take her on a tour of the juvenile detention center in your town. I would drive through downtown at night with her and let her see how people live on the streets. I would look up every case of STDs I could find and show her pictures. I would get just as blatant as she is. If my child ever said F* you to me, I would know it was time to jump into action. I would purposely try to scare the cr*p out of her by showing her reality. And if I had to, I would let her to to a drug rehab or juvenile detention for a while, to let her wake up.
I agree, accidents happen, but she should have
asked you before starting to 'clean in there.' Maybe you could have rescued some itmes before.
But if her work is otherwise satisfactory, I would tell her to be more careful and let it go.
Mocha - 2 shots, nonfat milk, extra hot, no foam and a straw pls.

Is the problem indoor accidents, or sleeping at night ?
Didn't give any details.
Well, that one's covered lol
I have been keeping a log of what I do on a daily basis for a year - ever since my gd was dropped off with me - to keep a record of who contacts me, whom I contact, by what method of contact, what happened/was said, etc. I never thought about that aspect of accusation of parental abuse, but the bruises are obviously in the healing stage - no swelling, etc. Everyone knows I don't go over there anymore except to let gd visit with her, and since I'm under a court order with her custody, I am very careful what I do and say. When I got there yesterday, she wasn't home, so I waited for a while. Her boyfriend pulled into the driveway and dropped her off about 15 minutes later, so he is aware of her condition and that I haven't been in contact with her.
I've been trying to reach my sister tonight to ask her to go over and take a look for herself. Don't know if she will do it or not, but I do have another sister who has witnessed some of what I've seen and she might go. I also have police reports where I had to call them when she got lost trying to visit me at my new home and was found driving in circles in an intersection, uncertain which road to take...just circling, circling, circling....
Yes, insurance covered it.
There was a pre-certification process, which included photographs. Ugh. It took about a month to get the approval. It was 100% covered through my insurance.
2 of the 3 were covered by insurance
We changed insurance plans back and forth between my husband and I during those years and 2 of the 3 did pay for it. We paid for the second child's circ and it was only $110. We really didn't have the money for it at the time, but since we had circ'ed the first one, we thought we should be consistent.
We also had both types of circs -- the first one had the Plastibell, which I did like better because I don't think it's painful at all. The second 2 had the surgical circ, but it healed much nicer and quicker.
I think you are right that my kids probably wouldn't have had much of an issue with the teasing if we hadn't circ'ed them since it's become more common not to do the circs. But after my husband's ordeal, he wanted it done and I didn't really care one way or another. I think hygenically it will be easier for them when they're crusty old men. EWWW!
It would be creeper for me being covered by
a quilt or by a quilt made out of my sister's clothes, just lying there.....
The fact that you are doing quilts does not excuse or justify everything.
I would prefer to WEAR her clothes, period. Do not try to manipulate me into something.
Forgot to add I cook it covered. (NM)

AP just covered the story so quite possibly true comment. How sad.

Nope, insurance never covered any of my plastic surgeries but
I still had them- several- just like I would finance this also. This is definitely considered cosmetic unless used for the original eye problem it was intended for.
No recipe, but just mix it 1/2 and 1/2 and put in covered dish or crock pot. Uncover to brown

Check a few recipes on foodtv.com to get an idea. Moistest fish is covered
