Dr. Paul Gerarchi's Ratings
Cannot recommend for complex revision rhinoplasty especially if you are interstate. You will be offered no pre-op appointments other than your initial consult and will possibly be left with a very large ugly nose. Dr Gerachi spends no time prior to surgery with revision rhinoplasty patients from interstate other than the initial consult. He indicated I would get a good result but I did not. The changes were not subtle but large and ugly. I regret my decision. I'm now left with a very large ugly nose. I am sure he is good at primary rhinoplasty and non complex revision rhinoplasty especially if you live local, but can't recommend for complex revision rhino especially if you are interstate. I want another operation as I'm extremely upset.

I found Paul Gerachi and his clinic after doing some homework and discussing with my GP. After my first consultation I was confident that he was the surgeon for me. I'd initially gone in with the idea of an upper and lowere blepharoplasty; Dr Gerarchi explained that my drooping eyelids would be partly solved by surgery, however he also carefully explained and showed that my brow (I've got a BIG forehead) was also drooping - a brow lift would help with that. Since I wanted the bags under my eyes dealt with, he also suggested the CO2 laser to make sure my skin post-op tightened up and looked fresh. I went away very happy with the decision and the doctor and paid my deposit. A fortnight before the procedure, I saw a woman in a café who looked as if she'd stepped out of a wind tunnel - and for a few days I started to get worried about having the surgery. Sam and the staff at The Face Institute were very understanding and spent time explaining my procedures and reassuring me. I never felt pressured in any way. The surgery was in the clinic and it went like a breeze – the staff were very professional but it was a relaxed atmosphere and the staff have a sense of humour. I healed amazingly well and I was surprised to have very little bruising. Afer a month I noticed a small dent in my forehead but Paul says this will heal and in the meantime he filled it with some restylane for me. I'm so happy with my results and would highly recommend Paul and his wonderful staff.

Saw him for a sinus and rhino consult. I was optimistic during the first 5 minutes until he suggested that I also needed a chin implant (which has since been reviewed by 2 surgeons as unnecessary). My nose is really not that bad, but consistent sinus issues etc prompted me to seek remedy and I guess a minor reduction in width was appealing. Any way he lost all credibility not only with the unnecessary chin implant suggestion, but also by arrogantly stating " I don't think you'll be happy with anything I do"... ?? no idea what he based that on - i'm pretty chilled. Maybe I questioned him too much for his liking - either way he never sent me a quote and just as well, i'd have thrown it away. Waste of $, but worth it as it narrowed it down for me.

I was fortunate to find Dr Gerarchi quickly in my search. His website was very helpful and once I met Paul and his staff I had full confidence. I had suffered years of undiagnosed pain on top of extreme and extended stress over the past many years in my life and my face was a testament to all. I initially just went in for cheek implants (as previous attempts with filler failed for me as I absorb it) and ablation of the skin under the eyes. Paul suggested fat transfer to give further softness and volume to the cheeks and mini facelift which I agreed would be beneficial. It was a lot to do but it was manageable. After op care by Paul and his RN was fabulous. I was very happy with the results although the fat transfer in the cheeks failed in the same way as the filler did (but that is my idiosyncrasy). I would not hesitate in recommending Paul - he is thorough, highly trained and very realistic about what can be done and results. Indeed his whole team are very supportive and helpful.

I have always had functional and cosmetic concerns regarding my nose. As soon as I consulted with Dr Gerarchi I knew I had found my doctor. Not only did he listen and answer all my question regarding the outcomes I wanted to achieve from the surgery but both he and his staff pre and post operative care exceeded my expectations. I am now six months post op from my rhinoseptoplasty and I have never breathed or looked better. I had minimal pain and scarring and my nose looks exactly how Dr Gerarchi anticipated it would. I can't thank Dr Gerarchi enough and highly recommend him for anyone interested in this procedure.

Adult Otoplasty - visited 3 surgeons before deciding - immediately found Dr Gerachi to be confident, informative and ultimately a skillful surgeon. 4 weeks post-op, and results are excellent, delivering on expectations. Jessi is caring and very helpful in every aspect of the process, right throughout (pre, during and post), taking out the anxiety/unknowns of the procedure. Professional team, strongly recommended.

Maturity onset diabetes of the young (monogenic diabetes) | |
Classification and external resources | |
DiseasesDB | 8330 |
MeSH | D003924 |
Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY)[1] refers to any of several hereditary forms of diabetes caused by mutations in an autosomal dominant gene[2] (sex independent, i.e. inherited from any of the parents) disrupting insulin production. MODY is often referred to as "monogenic diabetes"[3][4] to distinguish it from the more common types of diabetes (especially type 1 and type 2), which involve more complex combinations of causes involving multiple genes (i.e., "polygenic") and environmental factors. MODY 2 and MODY 3 are the most common forms. "[5] MODY should not be confused with latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) — a form of type 1 DM, with slower progression to insulin dependence in later life.
The term MODY dates back to 1964, when diabetes mellitus was considered to have two main forms: juvenile-onset and maturity-onset, which roughly corresponded to what we now call type 1 and type 2. MODY was originally applied to any child or young adult who had persistent, asymptomatic hyperglycemia without progression to diabetic ketosis or ketoacidosis. In retrospect we can now recognize that this category covered a heterogeneous collection of disorders which included cases of dominantly inherited diabetes (the topic of this article, still called MODY today), as well as cases of what we would now call type 2 diabetes occurring in childhood or adolescence, and a few even rarer types of hyperglycemia (e.g., mitochondrial diabetes or mutant insulin). Many of these patients were treated with sulfonylureas with varying degrees of success.[citation needed]
The current usage of the term MODY dates from a case report published in 1974.[6][7]
By the 1990s, as the understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetes has improved, the concept and usage of MODY have become refined and narrower. It is now used as a synonym for dominantly inherited, monogenic defects of insulin secretion occurring at any age, and no longer includes any forms of type 2 diabetes.[8]
Currently,[when?] MODY is the final diagnosis in 1%–2% of people initially diagnosed with diabetes. The prevalence is 70–110 per million population. 50% of first-degree relatives will inherit the same mutation, giving them a greater than 95% lifetime risk of developing MODY themselves. For this reason, correct diagnosis of this condition is important. Typically patients present with a strong family history of diabetes (any type) and the onset of symptoms is in the second to fifth decade.
There are two general types of clinical presentation.
MODY cases may make up as many as 5% of presumed type 1 and type 2 diabetes cases in a large clinic population. While the goals of diabetes management are the same no matter what type, there are two primary advantages of confirming a diagnosis of MODY.
As it occurs infrequently, many cases of MODY are initially assumed to be more common forms of diabetes: type 1 if the patient is young and not overweight, type 2 if the patient is overweight, or gestational diabetes if the patient is pregnant. Standard diabetes treatments (insulin for type 1 and gestational diabetes, and oral hypoglycemic agents for type 2) are often initiated before the doctor suspects a more unusual form of diabetes.
In some forms of MODY, standard treatment is appropriate, though exceptions occur:
The following characteristics suggest the possibility of a diagnosis of MODY in hyperglycemic and diabetic patients:
The diagnosis of MODY is confirmed by specific gene testing available through commercial laboratories.
The recognised forms of MODY are all due to ineffective insulin production or release by pancreatic beta cells. Several of the defects are mutations of transcription factor genes. One form is due to mutations of the glucokinase gene. For each form of MODY, multiple specific mutations involving different amino acid substitutions have been discovered. In some cases, there are significant differences in the activity of the mutant gene product that contribute to variations in the clinical features of the diabetes (such as degree of insulin deficiency or age of onset).
Some sources make a distinction between two forms of monogenetic diabetes: MODY and neonatal diabetes.[15] However, they have much in common and are often studied together.
MODY is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, and most patients therefore have other members of the family with diabetes; penetrance differs between the types (from 40% to 90%).
Type | OMIM | Gene/protein | Description |
MODY 1 | 125850 | hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α | Due to a loss-of-function mutation in the HNF4α gene. 5%–10% cases. |
MODY 2 | 125851 | glucokinase | Due to any of several mutations in the GCK gene. 30%–70% cases. Mild fasting hyperglycaemia throughout life. Small rise on glucose loading. |
MODY 3 | 600496 | hepatocyte nuclear factor 1α | Mutations of the HNF1α gene (a homeobox gene). 30%–70% cases. Tend to be responsive to sulfonylureas. Low renal threshold for glucose. |
MODY 4 | 606392 | insulin promoter factor-1 | Mutations of the IPF1 homeobox (Pdx1) gene. < 1% cases. Associated with pancreatic agensis in homozygotes and occasionally in heterozygotes. |
MODY 5 | 137920 | hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β | One of the less common forms of MODY, with some distinctive clinical features, including atrophy of the pancreas and several forms of renal disease. Defect in HNF-1 beta gene. 5%–10% cases. |
MODY 6 | 606394 | neurogenic differentiation 1 | Mutations of the gene for the transcription factor referred to as neurogenic differentiation 1. Very rare: 5 families reported to date. |
MODY 7 | 610508 | Kruppel-like factor 11 | KLF11 has been associated with a form of diabetes[16] that has been characterized as "MODY7" by OMIM.[17] |
MODY 8 | 609812 | Bile salt dependent lipase | CEL has been associated with a form of diabetes[18] that has been characterized as "MODY8" by OMIM.[19] It is very rare with five families reported to date. It is associated with exocrine pancreatic dysfunction. |
MODY 9 | 612225 | PAX4 | Pax4 is a transcription factor. MODY 9 is a very rare medical condition. |
MODY 10 | 613370 | INS | Mutations in the insulin gene. Usually associated with neonatal diabetes. Rare < 1% cases. |
MODY 11 | 613375 | BLK | Mutated B-lymphocyte tyrosin kinase, which is also present in pancreatic islet cells. Very rare. |
Permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus | 606176 | KCNJ11 and ABCC8 | A newly identified and potentially treatable form of monogenic diabetes is the neonatal diabetes caused by activating mutations of the ABCC8 or KCNJ11 genes which encode subunits of the KATP channel. < 1% cases. Tend to respond to sulfonylureas. |
Transient neonatal diabetes mellitus | 601410 610374 610582 | ABCC8 | Some forms of neonatal-onset diabetes are not permanent. < 1% cases. Tend to respond to sulfonylureas. |
By definition, the forms of MODY are autosomal dominant, requiring only one abnormal gene to produce the disease; the severity of the disease is moderated by the presence of a second, normal allele which presumably functions normally. However, conditions involving people carrying two abnormal alleles have been identified.[20] Unsurprisingly, combined (homozygous) defects of these genes are much rarer and much more severe in their effects.
Homozygous mutations in the other forms have not yet been described. Those mutations for which a homozygous form has not been described may be extremely rare, may result in clinical problems not yet recognized as connected to the monogenic disorder, or may be lethal for a fetus and not result in a viable child.
Unfortunately, chronic hyperglycemia of any cause can eventually cause blood vessel damage and the microvascular complications of diabetes. The principal treatment goals for people with MODY — keeping the blood sugars as close to normal as possible ("good glycemic control"), while minimizing other vascular risk factors — are the same for all known forms of diabetes.
Tools for management are those for all forms of diabetes: blood testing, changes in diet, physical exercise, oral hypoglycemic agents, and insulin injections. In many cases these goals can be achieved more easily with MODY than with ordinary types 1 and 2 diabetes. Some people with MODY may require insulin injections to achieve the same glycemic control that another person may attain with careful eating or an oral medication.
When oral hypoglycemic agents are used in MODY, the sulfonylureas remain the oral medication of first resort. When compared to patients with type 2 diabetes, MODY patients are often more sensitive to sulphonylureas, such that a lower dose should be used to initiate treatment to avoid hypoglycaemia. Patients with MODY less often suffer from obesity and insulin resistance than those with ordinary type 2 diabetes (for whom insulin sensitizers like metformin or the thiazolidinediones are often preferred over the sulfonylureas).
According to data from Saxony, Germany, MODY was responsible for 2.4% of diabetes incidence in children younger than 15 years.[21]

Corny keg blow off tube rig - on liquid out post? MY QUESTONS... 1. Does anyone see any potential problems with a 4 gallon batch using a blow off tube on the liquid out hole? 2. Is using the liquid out hole for a blow off instead of the gas in hole an issue? **** The beackground info.... I have a surplus of corny kegs that are not in use. I would like to start using 2 of them as fermenters, they are the perfect size to fit in my JC'ed fridge for temp control. 2 corny's, one carboy, and 2-2 gallon test batches fit perfectly all at once. So I did plenty of research to find the most simple way to attach a blow off tube. I have seen many methods; #3 stopper in the pressure relief valve, keg pasties, kits at online home brew shops. I played around and I think I want to try attaching some tubing to the liquid out post. My plan is to remove the liquid OUT dip tube and post cap. Attach some vinyl tubing that screws on the threads around the outside of the hole in the keg, then tighten it down with a worm screw clamp. Advantages; * easier to clean (no long dip tube) * provides the largest hole possible for a blow off tube * Cheap - almost free since I have the corny kegs Most of the info I have found suggests to use attach the airlock or blow off tube to the GAS IN post. Setup summary; * liquid post and dip tube removed (replaced with blow off tube) * gas post, poppet and dip tube left in place to keep the seal.
That seems like a good idea to me.
I'm confused--why not leave your liquid dip tube in place and affix your vinyl tube the the threads left behind once you remove the gas in post? Maybe I'm missing something.
I leave the dip tubes in *however i use the gas in side* the o-ring and the inside of the 3/4 ID blow off tube create a nice little seal.

It's always wise to check your credit report from the three national credit reporting agencies once each year, more in certain circumstances. Luckily, you can get a one free credit report from each of the three national credit reporting agencies every 12 months. Here's how.
(To learn more about your credit report and the three national credit reporting agencies, see Credit Report Basics.)
Getting Your Free Credit Report From Experian, Equifax, or Transunion
You are entitled to one free credit report every 12 months, upon your request, from each of the three major credit reporting agencies. If you are married, you and your spouse can each obtain a free credit report from all three credit reporting agencies each year. Your reports will list all joint accounts (those you opened in both names). No combined report is created for married couples.
You can obtain your free reports:
- online at www.AnnualCreditReport.com
- by calling 877-322-8228, or
- by mail at Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281.
You might want to order all three of your free credit reports at the same time so that you can compare them and spot discrepancies. Or, you can stagger your requests -- ordering one report every four months, for example -- so that you can check more frequently for suspicious activity (like identity theft) or errors.
Getting Additional Credit Reports
In certain circumstances, you can get additional free credit reports. Or, you can pay for additional copies. To learn more, see our Credit Reports & Credit Scores topic area.

'M&S scrapped my insurance – just because I passed my test'
Learner drivers pay a packet for cover – but they get really clobbered if they dare to drive well, says Simon Read
Saturday 11 September 2010
Passing your driving test is usually a time to celebrate. But for Independent reader Mike Ford, his joy was cut short when he passed his test last month because his insurer suddenly withdrew his cover. The reason? Marks & Spencer said it didn't want to insure the 17-year-old any more because, as a qualified young driver, he was too much of a risk.
M&S isn't alone in penalising young people for being successful learners. Our tables below show that most insurance providers ramp up the cost of cover, but few go as far as M&S in simply leaving their customers uninsured.
The move angered Mike's father, Rob. "I find it totally reprehensible that a company of M&S's standing should take on a provisional driver in full knowledge that they would cancel the policy the minute he passed his test, with no prior warning," Mr Ford said.
"What sort of signal does this send out to young drivers and their parents? Insurers warn of the dire consequences of a driver being found to be fronting [when someone other than the main driver is declared as the policyholder]; yet they treat honest policyholders with contempt."
It is hard not to agree with him but M&S washes its hands of any responsibility. A spokeswoman said: "M&S Money does not underwrite car insurance. We use a panel of insurance companies that can offer a range of cover and premiums. Our panel took his application through underwriting but – as is often the case with young drivers – this was declined."
But the firm was happy to take Mike's cash in the first place while knowing that, if he was a good enough driver, he would pass his test. It is this apparent shabbiness and lack of customer care that really annoys Mr Ford, especially when his son chose to go with M&S because he thought it was a name he could trust.
"If an insurer is prepared to offer a policy to a provisional driver, at extortionate cost, they should be prepared to maintain the policy for its full term and disclose, if necessary, the fact that there may be additional premiums to be paid if the insured passes the driving test during its duration," said Mr Ford.
Other insurers claimed they would not leave customers in the lurch as M&S did. Graham Johnston, a motor strategy underwriting manager at Direct Line, said: "We determine the price of a car insurance policy on the information given by the customer at the time of the initial quote. If a Direct Line customer has a provisional licence and subsequently passes their driving test, we would not cancel their policy or increase their premium when they notified us."
M&S's decision forced Mike to shop around all over again for new cover. He eventually got a deal with Endlseigh, which specialises in covering students and young people, but the cost of cover soared, rising from the £2,750 charged by M&S for annual cover forMike's Fiat Punto to £3,500.
There are sensible explanations to explain why insurers charge young drivers more once they pass their tests. For a start, provisional drivers must have an experienced driver in the car with them, which presumably helps to reduce the chances of an accident. And then insurers have years of experience of claims, which teaches them that newly qualified drivers are more likely than most to have an accident.
"Insurers rate on a variety of factors, and unfortunately 17-year-olds have no proven experience outside lessons and supervised driving," explains Will Thomas, the head of motor insurance at Confused.com. "Driving on a provisional licence is considerably less risky with an instructor guaranteed to be in the car at all times, but as soon as young drivers get on the road alone, the risk of an accident increases massively."
As our table shows, the average cost of cover for a 17-year-old boy like Mike jumps by about £2,000 as soon as he is fully licensed, climbing from about £3,500 to £5,500. Charges like this encourage many parents to "front" policies in an effort to reduce costs. If a parent is listed as the main driver, with the child as a named driver, the policy is likely to cost hundreds of pounds rather than thousands.
But fronting is illegal and it is one of the reasons why insurance premiums are rising so quickly, according to the industry. Faced with having to fork out thousands of pounds, it is clear why so many young drivers and their parents break the law, but there are other things you can do to help cut insurance costs, says Mr Thomas.
"To get cheaper premiums a young driver needs to build up experience and a no-claims bonus," he advises. "It will be expensive at first, but unfortunately this is a necessary evil. After the initial outlay, though, a young driver will see their premiums dramatically reduce year on year. The quicker a driver can get this experience, the less they will pay in the long run.
"It is important that drivers ensure they are getting the benefit of claims-free driving by having a car insurance policy in their own name, or that the policy they are on allows them to earn no-claims bonus as a named driver."
Another option is to continue learning and take Pass Plus, the new driving examination course introduced by the Government to give additional driving experience to qualified learners. Confused says 6 per cent of 17- to 25-year-old men do and save more than £1,000 before they reach 25.

DD is 6 and one of her favourite shows is postman pat.
She loves writing letters and drawing lovely pictures to send to her friends and relatives, she puts a huge amount of effort into them and gets very excited about placing them in the red box and knowing that the postman will take them to her friends. She is starting to notice that no one ever writes back to her and every day asks to look in the mail box - when there are no letters she says 'thats okay the postman is taking a long time to bring my letters' she is starting to get really dissapointed ( fair enough people are too busy to get their kids to write back) but still wants to write and send letters even without getting any in return. I am wondering if anyone has a child who would love to get a letter from DD (and send one back) or write her a letter, it would really make her day! Also she has autism so her writing/drawing skills are very behind but she loves trying. #2Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:35 PM
YES!!! We would love this. My Daughter is 7 and is forever drawing and writing letters. She would LOVE a penpal!
#3Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:47 PM
happy to send her one from Singapore if you like? I just sent my niece one recently as I know she would love getting a letter, she called because she was so excited so I can understand your daughter's disappointment.
#4Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:54 PM
My DD 8 would love a penpal, she is always writing and drawing, it would make her day to receive a letter in the post. And to send one as well.
#5Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:55 PM
I am sure my DD would love to 'write' your DD a letter. She is only 4.5, so she can write, but can't spell, or read. But if I tell her the letters, she can write IYKWIM? She does love to draw!
We have a day off from kindy/school tomorrow, so if you PM me your DD's details (inc her name), I am sure my DD will get straight on to it! My DD is disappointed every day that the grown ups get letters and she doesn't. Little does she know that letters to adults are all bills and not wanted. #6Posted 19 November 2012 - 10:00 PM
Dd1 loves "writing". Both girls received mail from overseas Last week .... After weeks of complaining that only Mama and Papa are getting some (mind you ... all we get are bills ). They were soooo happy, squeaking like guinea pigs.
Emma would love a penpal. #7Posted 19 November 2012 - 10:05 PM
It's so good to hear that lot's of kids still like 'writing' real letters.
I will PM you all, DD is going to be very excited to get to know her new penfriends. #8Posted 20 November 2012 - 12:10 AM
Jess is 9 with autism too. She adores writing letters and is so sad that no one writes back. Would 9 be too old for your daughter? Jess loves animals, dinosaurs and loves to draw.
PM me if you think your DD would be interested. I can guarantee Jess will write back. #9Posted 20 November 2012 - 06:35 AM
Yes. SIL sends up a couple of puzzle pieces by mail each day in the weeks leading up to her visiting. She brings the last few pieces when she arrives. DS and DD get so excited looking for the bright yellow envelopes in the mail.
DS isn't quite up to writing letters yet though. #10Posted 20 November 2012 - 06:52 AM
Yes, my 11 year old dd has a friend from school in NZ and as they don't have facebook, they still write letters to each other 2 and a half years later! (they text each other sometimes too)..
It's great as when we went back in April for a visit she was able to spend some time with her. #11Posted 20 November 2012 - 10:57 AM
If your daughter writes the Prime Minsiter she'll get a written response.
That could be another great way for her to get some letters Edited by Apageintime, 20 November 2012 - 01:33 PM. #12Posted 20 November 2012 - 11:32 AM
Yup! My 7, 5 and 4 year olds LOVE checking the mail box, waving to the postie, and getting postcards/letters.
The older two write to their grandparents and each has a special box to keeptheir letters in. For her last birthday, my Mum gave the eldest a leather writing folder my grandparents gave mum when she joined the Navy as a teenager a loooooong time ago! #13Posted 20 November 2012 - 11:38 AM
My almost four year old loves drawing and/or colouring (and just starting to like writing more) and putting them in next door's letterbox, as well as posting them to family etc. He might be a bit young for your DD (as no real writing yet) ,but I do think there are a lot of kids out there that do enjoy sending mail - even if they don't receive any back.
#14Posted 20 November 2012 - 12:17 PM
DS loves getting the mail out of the letterbox and gets excited if there's something in there for him like a birthday invitation.
When he gets older and learns to read and write, I am definitely planning on hooking him up with a friend's daughter in Europe, to be pen pals.... #15Posted 20 November 2012 - 12:49 PM
DD is 4 in Feb and obsessed with checking the letter box.
Anyone have a similarly aged child who would like a penpal? She's starting to 'write' a bit but loves to draw and colour-in. Probably a bit young for you OP. #16Posted 20 November 2012 - 01:10 PM
What a fantastic idea.
I also have a 5 year old, starting school next year.She can write her name but loves to draw and colour also. She also loves checking the mail and only gets mail at her b'day or xmas so if anyone wants to exchange addresses and get a new pen-pal we would love to join. #17Posted 20 November 2012 - 05:13 PM
I am also happy to have Penpals for my kids, I have a daughter who is 8 & a son who is 6. If anyone wants to, just PM me
#18Posted 20 November 2012 - 05:51 PM
Little Lamb - My DD has written your DD a letter and drawn her a little picture. It is all ready in the enveloped and stamped ready for her to post tomorrow. She had a great time doing it.
I found it a really good exercise for her writing, particularly for helping her learn to spell and which case to use. Freakpet - I will PM you my DD's details. I think the more letters she writes the better! #19Posted 20 November 2012 - 08:13 PM
My DD is 6 and would love someone to write to as well! I have a friend who writes to her with a quill on parchment with a seal after its folded, which is lovely, but someone closer to her own age would be great too
#20Posted 21 November 2012 - 06:02 AM
DS is 2.5 and would love a penpal. He cant write yet, but would love to send some of his scribbles.
PM me if you have a littlie who would love to receive mail. #21Posted 21 November 2012 - 06:16 AM
DS is 4 in twenty days, if anyone would like artwork from him, PM me
#22Posted 21 November 2012 - 06:31 AM
My son 5.5 stalks the post man if he hears him..
He will stand next to the letterbox and wait till the postman hands him the mail. Then he yells " MUM WE GOT MAIL!!!) then asks did he get any.. I really need to send him something.. He gets so excited. I remember loving going to get the mail when i was a kid so i think he takes after me:) Were lucky my post man is a sweetie . He will wait for my son to run out the front door and have a chat with him.Hes getting a crissy present this year off my son:) He cant write yet ( cerebral palsy) but can read his own name.. If anyone wants to be his pen pal pm me:) Edited by seeingstraight, 21 November 2012 - 06:33 AM. #23Posted 21 November 2012 - 07:09 AM
My 5 year old is a huge fan. So much so he went tearing down the driveway the other night to the letterbox, tripped over and took all the skin off one knee and his elbow . Don't know what the neighbours must have thought with all the screaming and crying that went on. My MIL writes back to him though in bright pink pen. Which reminds me we must write some more letters.
#24Posted 21 November 2012 - 07:38 AM
I wish there was a like button, this whole thread is fantastic.
I love the idea of the aunt sending puzzle pieces, that is awesome...... #25Posted 21 November 2012 - 06:28 PM
This is fantastic!! DD is going to be so happy with all her new penpals It's great to see others joining in as well!
I think i have sent everyone who wanted a letter writing friend a PM, DD will be so busy drawing and also practising her writing which is great. Thanks everyone! 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

Festive Gluten Free Cocktails | Triumph Dining Holiday Week
I'm generally a wine or hard cider drinker but when the festive season and family arrive, it's fun to create tasty mixed drinks. My mom and I both like sweet, fruity cocktails the most and I plan to make and enjoy a few of these this Christmas.
Pina coladas are one of my favorite mixed drinks and I thought this recipe from Eating Well sounded like an interesting way to change things up a bit. This Passion Colada substitutes pineapple juice for passion fruit juice to give your colada a different kind of fruity kick. The best news – it takes all of five minutes to prepare.

A Vacation to Remember
January 4, 2015
We just returned from our vacation stay at Midnight Cove II Unit 611F. It was just incredible. Very comfortable and nicely decorated. The furniture and beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed and much more. Plenty to do including a pool just outside the door and just a short walk to the beach made this the perfect vacation getaway. We look forward to returning to Siesta Key and staying at Unit 611F. The other renters around us were quiet, respectful and very friendly. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us! We loved it!

'Color blocking' moves from fashion to home design
Pablo Picasso was no stranger to color blocking. He described color like this: "Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? No."
