- people are crazy
- I just wouldn't have lunch with them again. I'm not sure there's a way you can say anything without it sounding really rude.
- I stopped going out with her. So rude.
- I'd ask her if there was.something she needed to.do rather than lunch. either she does and she leaves quickly or she realizes she's being rude
- There is no excuse no matter what. I wouldn’t go out with her again.
- who is this person to you? a good, old friend? in that situation, i'd definitely, jeez louise, you can't put that damned thing down for a second.
- It's an addiction for so many people. I put my phone away when I'm out with people. I only check it when they go to the bathroom, which is usually at the end of the meal. I find...(more)

- This post has been disliked 3 times. she's dumb. save the nipple? wtf, that's so vain,
- They are recommending a mastectomy and she wants to get a reduction instead?
- She just has to call the new patient number, they'll set her up with one of the surgeons.
- I have several close friends who had radical mastectomies. She needs to get over it.
- They can't save the nipple, but they can make her one during reconstruction.
- Estabrook - maybe not at Sloan anymore
- Sloan Kettering takes most insurance and also gives second opinions. If the hospital takes her insurance every doctor there has to. You can try Dr. Kimberly Van Zee but if she is...(more)
- Also try NY Prresbyterian and NYU Langone. You may well find more personalized treatment at these places than Sloan (more hand holding, explanations). Look up DR. Eliza Port.

- New York City Entire grade gets out to lunch. few kids in DS class misbehaved, entire class not allowed to go out. DS doesnt eat school lunch. would you be pissed? let it go? or no..
- Pissed at.who? Ds could have had school lunch, right?
- at teacher who punished entire class for 2 kids.
- Is there notice in advance so your kid can bring food from home, or is your kid supposed to go hungry?
- Pack a lunch
- every day? i wasnt given notice
- No. He can buy something. If he refuses to eat, that’s his problem.
- I'd let it go. School has enough drama to deal with, this is not the most important thing.

- Any known learning issues?
- He was diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) in kindergarten.
- that won't affect his reading though,( I have it and reading is what I do because I can't process auditory well)
- Well, kids with APD commonly have trouble learning to read. I am glad that has not been the case for you, but it is one of the effects of APD. I am mainly concerned about the...(more)
- are you putting your anxiety on him? that could be why he is so nervous during the test
- I don't know. He doesn't seem nervous about school stuff. I guess I could be wrong.
- you are sending him to reading camp, working with a tutor, that is a lot of pressure, and now you are talking about being stressed about his reading level. He is feeling it.
- Well, yes, he obviously knows about the reading camp, although that's not what we call it. (It has a different name.) And I don't talk about his reading level with him.

- can I just ask you something? WHAT is he reading at home? WHy does the letter matteR? do you read to him? take him to the library?
- He reads a variety of levels at home. The letter matters because it a measure of growth. No growth in six months would be a major problem. Yes, we read all of the time. He spent...(more)

- I would not put a ton of stock in this?
- All of these assessments are subjective. Also, reading with a new person could make the kid quiet, which would cost comprehension points
- sometimes a kid says one word wrong 10 times, and it counts as 10 errors (unless it's a name)
- This. They are so subjective.
- Isn't I an impressive reading level for the beginning of 2nd grade?
- No. Should be J or K at beginning of second grade.
- What's going on, is it his rate, accuracy, too many miscues? Comprehension? What is holding him back from j/k?
- The teacher did not give this kind of detail. I would guess comprehension. Reading specialist measured him at K level and said comprehension is what is holding back. Decoding...(more)
- The comprehension portion of a running record is so subjective.
- Perhaps. What baffles is the no growth aspect of this news. I cannot pinpoint exactly what level I would say he is on, but I definitely saw him improve this summer, let alone...(more)

- Yes, we all post on Toddler
- Why? Do you have a toddler? I was trying to respect the protocol with the various boards.
- np: first, if you're new here, RUN AWAY. second, toddler is the de facto board. the others, save the SN board, aren't really used.
- ITA...run away.

- New York City OMG kid needs braces. 7500 for 15 mos
- NYC?
- yes. we shopped around too. 4 orthos
- 6300 - removable expander and braces. I believe it is 2 years of treatment
- yes. we shopped around too. 4 orthos
- Half that at NYU Drntal school
- np - am not fucking around with a student when it comes to my kids' teeth.
- np: the work would probably be fine, but the nuisance factor would be high.
- nnp-yes, looked at dental school, and both wait time and time spent on treatment were a lot longer.
- why is treatment time longer?
- because there is more supervision, so what could take 10 mins to an experienced dentist by himself could take 40 making sure everything is done perfectly.
- this, and it's supervised by an ortho. It's actually almsot better, becuase it is really looked over and not rushed
- yes, for us the difference was about 1k, but I am not a patient person and the idea of being stuck waiting forever was just too much. If the price had been much better I'd have...(more)

- only braces or expander as well?
- OP: includes an expander. Is that so they don't have to wear head gear?
- expander is to widens the jaw the head gear pushes the teeth back
- Will it change how she looks? WHo wants a wide jaw? Sounds masculine.
- i am assuming she has a narrow jaw and it needs to be widened to properly straighten teeth, most kids I know have either perm or removable expander
- It’s for overbites too
- my dd has an overbite and she has head gear, removable expander and then braces about 2 years of treatment
- Will it change how she looks? WHo wants a wide jaw? Sounds masculine.
- expander is to widens the jaw the head gear pushes the teeth back
- OP: includes an expander. Is that so they don't have to wear head gear?
- Crazy. I just got an estimate for $5200 for two years and that includes retainers and retainer treatment after braces
- OP: It includes retainers but I was floored. And none would negotiate. I am not aggressive but asked for them to knock off 10%. Nope!
- np: If you pay cash, they usually negotiate a bit.
- This. Mine knocks off 5% for cash
- yep. I was able to get the cash price by paying lump sums from flex spending each January.
- This. I paid in full up front and got 5% discount
- This. Mine knocks off 5% for cash
- np: get permanent retainers
- np: If you pay cash, they usually negotiate a bit.
- OP: It includes retainers but I was floored. And none would negotiate. I am not aggressive but asked for them to knock off 10%. Nope!
- That's a lot for a short period of time. If the east 30s are convenient to you, try Marvin Lagstein. He's reasonable & professional.
- Price is a little high but I would be more concerned about the short length of treatment
- I would not believe the short length of treatment.
- np-yes, what happens after that? I am paying 5000 for three years.
- agree..treatment time seems short. did all 4 orthos recommend the same treatment with same timeline?
- I would not believe the short length of treatment.
- $3000 in RI. Bummer
- that isn't right. no way, you need to shop around
