"Sounds similar to my enchilada casserole.  I layer tortillas, refried beans, meat (beef or chicken seasoned with taco seasoning and salsa), black beans, cheese, and enchilada sauce.  I then repeat the layers a few times and top with…"

"I have a problem with charging him with first degree murder.  First, the prosecution will have a hard time proving that she was pregnant with a VIABLE pregnancy.  Did she have bHCG levels drawn which show appropriate doubling times to…"

"I laughed so hard that I nearly wet myself over this story.  This is ridiculous---I have managed to raise four (and hoping for number 5) without needing to be "reminded" to change the baby and to buy diapers.  Wow---I can't…"

"I teach at the high school, but Shawn is correct about Discovery testing.  It is a predictor of FCAT strengths/weaknesses and it is administered several times throughout the year to track progress.  The program gives the teacher a…"

"My son is on ADHD medications.  We found a doctor willing to write a script for the medications and it has made a world of difference.  I always prefer a doctor willing to use medications when the situation warrants rather than taking a…"

"  I really wanted my last baby to be delivered early (36 weeks) but my OB kept telling me I had to make it to 37 weeks before he could induce.  Sadly, the baby died shortly before reaching 37 weeks.  He was fine at my 36…"

"I am glad to see this.  My biggest issue was the "unfairness" of some schools getting 7 periods and others getting 6.  The middle schools getting cut is at least equitable since all will be cut. I am still interested in hearing…"

"I agree with you. Many of my students have after school jobs or younger siblings to watch.  These times will interfere with those plans.  Plus, as a mom of elementary students, I am not keen on them waking up earlier and being out in…"

"This is a great add, thank you for doing so. Last week I chatted with one of my son's friends that has an after school job.  He said he hoped the change didn't take place because this would mean less work hours for him as the business…"

"I am glad that they finally mentioned how this will impact elementary schools.  Many parents of elementary students have not been following this issue since "it doesn't affect my family" without realizing that it will impact…"

"I agree.  I can't imagine the little ones walking in the dark (or, like today, the dark and the rain) to get to school.   One of my concerns is the Ledger articles do not seem to be discussing the start…"

"I will definitely try to be there.  I do not have any kids in high school yet but I teach in a high school that will potentially be cut to 6 periods.  It is very difficult to counsel my students as to what courses to take next year with a…"

"The IT dept was supposed to be doing upgrades/service over spring break.  I know I was unable to access my email for the first half of the week.  I have not tried to access my gradebook so not sure if that is accessible"

"I have recently learned that , in addition to Lakeland/Harrison, the middle/high schools (Frostproof and Ft Meade) will not be going to a 6 period day.  How is this an "equitable" education for all?  If you are "lucky"…"
