Something i forgot to mention, i have a BB with 3 cotyledons, nothing too amazing, but there's another with two seedlings out of one seed, two leaders, the stems were fused a few millimeters above the soil level. There is a chance that the twins were two thin seeds stuck together, but i always check for that beforehand and do not like leaving them stuck together. I plan on growing them out myself, i wanted to mark them today before they become lost in the mix and unidentifiable. Pruning technique for the twins should be interesting. I took a picture of them a couple of weeks back, sent the pics to my PC, but can't find them for the life of me now... Steve

You're right, it's important to get your kids alone sometimes. I have 4, so I know it's a hard thing to manage. But it doesn't have to be a big production. I take mine to the grocery, or other small errands, one at a time. DD loves doing this. If I want to make it extra special we'll stop at the coffee shop and sip our hot chocolate and latte and chat for 15 minutes before we do the errand. Often with the boys I have to throw in food to motivate them to leave the house with mom for errands. But if I just promise a box of french fries that's enough. For my oldest, he's 14, school starts an hour later for him than the others. So I'll make time to sit and have breakfast with just him. My 11 y/o might be allowed to stay up 30 minutes later than his younger siblings, the older one in his room doing homework or out at practice. I just squeeze it in when I can, make some other task do double duty. I mean, errands are pretty boring, might as well make it more meaningful. DH does the same thing. If he needs to go to his office on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon, he takes one of the boys with him b/c he "might need their help." Or to go the car wash, or computer store, whatever errands he's doing. When I need to shop for the kids' clothes, I take one at a time. It means I don't get all the clothes shopping done on the same day. I just make 4 short trips over a couple weeks instead of one big long one in one day, and they are alone with me. My mom used to get me alone while she washed and I dried dishes. I know it was a trick, but it got both one-on-one time and chore done at the same time. ;o)

Hello and thank you for sharing your experiences. Here I am having the same issue. Almost 5 months ago while I was on vocation with my family suddenly I felt a sudden weakness of both arms which it lasted for 30-40 seconds. Then in a month it happened again and again; randomly. I also have some difficulty breathing but non of them are related to each other. Shortness of breath happens mostly when I go to sleep and it goes away while the weakness of arms has no such a time or any other sign that helps me to figure out what and why i did go to the doctor and after many test and check ups no diagnosis. However my doctor said it could be from the stress Today I had two episodes in a row while I was working with a little boy ( I am an ABA provider) Lately though I have been thinking if it’s related to the heavy begs that I carry all day long since travel from Staten Island-Brooklyn-Manhattan and back ( using public transportation) Does anyone have any idea about what age am thinking about? Furthermore, today I read that Hypothyroidism must be one of the causes that might be connected to arm weakness

jae_tn2, sorry, I should have been more specific...I didn't find him but did find that first name, so it's not a made up name like I surmised, and also the last name but not together. The one that comes up most often is Clodosbaldo Russian looking like possibly being some crime connections in Bolivia or Uraguay (but I don't read Spanish and google translate wouldn't work). Not that I thought it was your guy, just that the name is an actual name.
