Earlier this week I’d said that Darrel and I were planning on “calling” pork on Friday. Well, I looked at the calendar, and subtracting the days where pork was on a break during the trial, Wednesday was the 18th day Zac had pork. He is showing absolutely NO signs of … Continue reading
Sigh. This a-gain? Didn’t we just DO this last year? Why yes, yes, we did. Renee Moilanen wrote about her discontent with her child’s school birthday party. And I wrote my rebuttal.

Saturday Zac ate another ounce of pork at breakfast. Then he ate another ounce at dinner. Throughout the day he was happy, pleasant, playful, and perfect. He pooped a bit more than normal, and had hiccups for a few minutes in the afternoon, but that was it for anything remotely … Continue reading
Sigh. Well, I hate to do it, but I’m going to have to share a link. I don’t want to send any more traffic to this horrible waste of the written word, but you won’t understand what I’m talking about it you haven’t read it. So, go read why Renee … Continue reading
Jed is seriously allergic to eggs. He’s also intolerant to dairy. He also has issues with fructose – meaning most sweeteners are no good for him.
