Can you IMAGINE putting a six-year-old kid on a non-stop train?
Comments (18)A shallow grave was not uncommon when hand dug by one individual on private property, especially in winter. Vaults were not common either. There are cemeteries in southern Illinois containing graves without vaults. Sometimes this is evidenced by a significant depression over the grave. For example, I had a grade school friend who was hired to mow a cemetery one summer in the 1940s. He was merrily making his way across the landscape with the mower when he and the mower sunk into a grave. Now, this young man was on the superstitious side and he thought for sure that the dead was about to grab him. He scrambled from the hole and ran from the cemetery. It is only in the last 60 years that some of these communities have passsed ordinances requiring burial vaults. Before that, it was the family's choice. A number of families short of funds buried without vaults; Some did it for personal belief reasons: There is a passage in the bible when paraphrased reads: You are made from dust and to dust you shall return. The reasoning is: Why prolong something that is going to happen anyway. Without vaults, wood caskets eventually decay and collaspe. Sometimes, a collasped grave makes a void under the surface and is not apparent until someone steps on it. It is dangerous to the grounds keeper and to anyone strolling the cmemtery. A vault requirement has become commonplace to protect from this hazard. Your theory of murder of Dear Addy is very plausible, but consider other possibilities: 1. Addy keeled over from heart attack. The shocked husband did not know what to do and buried her just as she fell. He surmised that he would be under suspicion. She would have been fully clothed and with shoes. Embalming is not necessary if the body is buried within 3 days after death. In early America, embalming was a luxury and not commonly done. It became popular during the Civil War because it was necessary to preserve the body for a week or more to allow time to ship the body and for relatives to gather for the funeral. Many soldiers were buried on or neaby the battlefield where they fell - some in mass graves. These bodies were not emblamed. 2. Addy died by an accident. 3. Addy committed suicide. Such an event would have been hush-hush. The 6 yr old: I know it was possible to put a 6 yr old on the train and semd her from Denver to Chicago. I myself would have not done this. I would have required an adult escort. I guessing she was put in charge of the Conductor who would have seen to it that she got off at the right stop and to answer her questions. Passenger service was much more personal in those days. But if i had been that little girl, I'd been very afraid. I would not have sent her alone on such a trip. There are too many things that could go wrong. Maybe her birthdate is in error and she was older than 6. An Aside: In my family search, I found an ancestor who died during a harsh winter. The ground was frozen deeply and the cemetery crew was not able to dig a proper grave on time. (They did not have bull dozers, back hoes, or nimble tractors back then. In frozen ground, graves were dug by pick and shovel.) A wake and funeral was celebrated on scheduled. The casket and body was put outside to freeze. The "stiff" was left frozen until the grave could be deepened. He was interred about 2 weeks after the funeral....See MoreKid's Dentist
Comments (15)San Antonio Cosmetic Dentistry Cosmetic dentistry simply takes general dentistry and adds a dash of aesthetics, a multitude of tools and an artistic, skilled dentist, resulting in not only a fully functioning, healthy set of teeth, but also a beautiful smile. Our San Antonio cosmetic dentists can suggest a variety of options, meant to solve any issues you may experience with your smile. For example, we suggest Invisalign to patients with crooked teeth or overbites. Invisalign aligners replace braces, pushing your teeth into a smooth, straight set. Invisalign aligners are clear molds, which many people seeking cosmetic dentistry find preferable to braces due to their natural aesthetic appeal. Also, they are detachable, requiring removal for meals, daily dental hygiene and your regular dentistry checkups. For stained teeth, cosmetic dentistry provides a number of flexible answers � take-home kits, trays made at our San Antonio office or in-office bleachings. Most of the self-use options work fairly well, but if you have sensitive teeth or are in need of a swift brightening, you may want to visit your San Antonio dentistry practice for an in-office treatment. Our qualified cosmetic dentistry professionals can create bleaching trays, specifically molded to your dental set, to whiten your teeth repeatedly year after year. The in-office teeth whitening procedure allows our skilled team to directly apply the bleach to your teeth while taking preventative measures to keep your sensitive teeth safe. The result is a bright smile in just one visit to our San Antonio dentistry practice. Dental contouring (or tooth reshaping) allows your cosmetic dentist to beautify your chipped and crooked teeth in just one sitting. Our experienced dentists, Dr. Quillian and Dr. Sproull, reduce the appropriate sections of your teeth by a few millimeters to give you the smile you�ve always hoped to exhibit. Additional cosmetic dentistry options include veneers, dental implants and tooth-colored fillings. Schedule your free consultation at our San Antonio office today.

Comments (32)I'm so sorry you're going through this. My sister is bipolar type 2, with rapid cycling, and I watched my mother try to deal with her. (Fortunately or unfortunately, my sister self-medicated with food, not drugs or alcohol, so she wasn't a physical danger to herself.) I *so* understand that you're afraid of alienating your daughter, and are worried that she'll leave and you won't see her. The only thing I know for sure is that nothing good ever comes out of acting from fear. I'll tell you my bias. I watched my mother do much the same with my sister as you're doing with your daughter. My mother's main concerns were keeping my sister relatively calm and not letting her break their relationship. My mother did things she *knew* were counter-productive, because she was afraid of losing my sister. She "helped" my sister in school - to the point of actually doing many of her assignments. She wrote absence excuse notes for fake illnesses. She provided my sister with spending money. (I, OTOH, started working at age 15.) Later on, my mother gave my sister a place to live, rent-free. She paid for everything - clothes, food, utilities, car insurance, gas ... you name it. My sister got a good education and could get good jobs, but when she got them, she spent all her money on spending sprees. (In one week in 1986, she bought a $20,000 car, a $2,000 exercise machine, $1,500 of stereo equipment, $1,000 in CD's, and probably a whole lot more stuff I never knew about.) My mother eventually gave her money, because she didn't want to lose my sister. (By that time, it wasn't a physical loss she was afraid of, but my sister would go into her room and completely ignore my mother if she didn't like what my mom was doing.) When her illness cycled, my sister would rage at my mother. (In type 2 bipolar, the manic cycle is more a matter of anger than what we think of as mania.) My sister would throw books and scream and make life miserable, but my mother took it, because she was afraid my sister would stop talking to her. My sister lived with my mom until the day my mother died. One of the last things my mother said to me was, "Take care of your sister." Well, I loved my mother enormously, but *THAT* wasn't going to happen, at least not the way my mother was doing it. Once my sister lost her safety net and had to be responsible for herself, she managed to do it. My sister is still ill, on multiple medications, and is hospitalized from time to time, but now she's much more responsible. She holds down a full-time job, something she hadn't done for more than a couple months at a time before my mom died. My sister will tell you that what my mother did for her, though it was done out of love (and fear), made her illness worse, not better. She'll also tell you that while she loved our mother, she never respected her. I don't know if any of this strikes a chord, but there it is. I can't say what you should do, because I'm not in your situation. I just want to urge you to consider that you're not just hurting yourself by placating your daughter to the extent you've described, you're actually hurting her. I keep thinking of that old adage about the definition of madness being doing the same thing over and over and expecting the results to change. I think you know you have to do something different, because you don't like the results you're getting. As to why bipolar illness (and ADHD, and all the rest) are diagnosed so often today, who knows? Personally, I think they're real illnesses and have been around forever, but they're also over-diagnosed. You don't need to solve the societal problem, though, you just need to figure out what's happening with your daughter. If she *does* have bipolar illness, then it doesn't really matter if 10,000 other people have been misdiagnosed with bipolar. And if she doesn't have it, many of the things you need to do are still the same. (BTW, I agree with Alisande that you're right to look at the diagnosis with a critical eye, and ask for a second opinion.) I'm sorry if anything I've written makes it sound like there's anything remotely simple about the problems you're facing. I wish you the best of luck....See MoreWhat do you make of this new dentist?
Comments (60)The only time I ever had a crown put on was when my tooth literally broke partially off. Went for years with a broken tooth because of the cost and finally got it fixed when my dentist had a student dentist doing them for almost nothing. Then she dropped me as a patient soon after that because my insurance wouldn't pay enough. I thought that was weird. Had the same insurance for years, they only pay for cleaning and xrays, yearly check up. Nothing else so not sure why she dropped me, especially since they told me she wouldn't be sending my insurance a bill for any of that work since I was willing to let a student work on me. Had that dentist since we moved here in early 2000, Haven't found another one yet....See More
