Thanks all!

What's a good age to start with kids? Mine are 3 and 5. One would benefit from confidence and coordination, the other discipline and rule following (!)

Tough call. Depends on ..

1) The school. Are they used to dealing with little ones? Try to watch their beginner classes and see how the school handles the littlest members and think about your child in that situation.

2) The maturity of the child. We started our son when he was 5, but I have seen some four year olds. When you watched the school for point one, do you think your child could handle what you saw without breaking down in tears, throwing a tantrum, or just in general disrupt the class?

3) Are you willing to join the child on the floor for the class? The better schools let the parents participate for no additional (or at least greatly reduced) cost. For a little one to succeed the parent MUST reenforce the teachings at home. This is much easier when you are part of the class learning with your child.

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely go and see a class. We have a tai kwon do one locally, and aikido 30 mins away.

So much seems to depend on the teacher. I am really up for getting involved and we want to go as a family. I think it will probably be next fall then, when my girl will be 4. She is very bright and savvy. I might finally drop some weight by then too...

What a great thing for you to do together

Yes it heavily depends on the teacher, FAR FAR FAR more then the style. That being said, some general thoughts on styles:

TKD - This is a rear leg kick centric style. Originally designed for peasants to fight men on horse back while the poor peasant was stuck on the ground. Most of the flashy kicks you see in movies come from this style. This is often a more offensive oriented style.

Aikido - My instructor calls this lazy man's Karate because it takes very little strength. :D It is a flowing style where you redirect the targets strength to your own advantage. Originally created as a way for someone to defend themselves WITH OUT hurting their opponent.

From a self defense stand point Aikido is likely to be more useful in real life. For keeping an active child focused, TKD is more likely to succeed.

Oh no, I think I've got one of each! Is it karate you do then?

"Karate" is a general term. Both Akido and TKD can fall under that term. I go to a MMA (mix martial art) style that is called American Freestyle Karate that has some TKD and some Aikido in it (plus other styles).

Which of the two you listed that you go to will depend more on the instructor and how you feel he connects to your children then anything.

I'm feeling better :)

Yeah, despite my school being a part of the CU system, it has really weird holidays. We only get labor day, thanksgiving (wed-fri), the one holiday that i can't think of (21st of jan? around there) and spring break. They don't shut down the school unless its like -30 out and pipes are busting all over the place.

:lol:

I ran out of black ink while trying to print a 30 page pdf file for an essay of mine. Of course it runs out three pages from the end. Oh well, i needed to go for a walk anyway, so i'll probably head to the library in the morning (at 6 cents a page no less).

Is it me or did the forum get jumbled up? Not sure if i like it.

Hi Shadow-

Have you tried draft quality on your printer? Shaking the black cartridge about than trying again or change the font color to dark blue can work too -- of course a walk to the library is a good choice for other reasons at least you only need three pages.

Scott jumbled the forums a bit to be listed in order of most frequently visited.

Eh this printer is rather new and touchy about its ink. I fear if i take it out that it won't register. Thats fine, the walk will do me good :)

That makes sense. Still, i'm not used to it.

Happy Birthday, Jess!!

Off swashbuckling wif the pirate?

Went to the movies yesterday with some friends, turned off the ringer on my phone, and completely forgot that I'd turned it off.

Picked up my phone this evening and saw that I'd missed 10 calls from him. :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

He had forgotten that it was my birthday, so I listened to a progressively more worried series of messages... "...are you....ok?" "are...you mad at me...?" "what did I do?" "Is something wrong? Please call and tell me you're ok".. "IT"S YOUR BIRTHDAY! " Followed by the happy birthday song. I called and told him about turning off the ringer, and he fessed up about not realizing it was my birthday until he logged on to fb.

It was very funny, and sweet. :wub: :wub: :wub:

Wow, you are way cooler than I would be!! That's at least flowers, maybe jewelry in my book. Or a book of course.

Very sweet though :)

Hope you had a lovely birthday. Good film?

I told my wife on our first date that I would forget her birthday, and special dates all the time. Told her if that was going to be a problem we needed to end our dating relationship before we get started. :D We have been married fro 16 years now, so you can see how that went. :D

I grew up desensitized to the whole "special dates" kind of thing. I was one of five kids and our birthdays are all during the summer. When Mom was filling out forms for school or the doctor or something, she always had to ask me when my birthday was. If you grow up with your Mom not knowing when your birthday was, you don't really expect anybody else to either.

She -ought- to have known. :) You'd think, but with five running around? eeek.

I'm also not a 'special events' person. I didn't realize it was my birthday until the day before. TG for facebook. :D

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
