As you know, Keke is a 2 1/2-year-old autistic child at the preschool where I work as a teacher and child psychologist. At a certain point, I noticed that he can name printed numbers up to ten, and it now turns out that he can...

Do you remember that nursery rhyme? It's raining, it's pouring the old man is snoring. That's what it looks like here except the dog is snoring next to me instead of an old man. The rain is coming down in buckets, it's downright...

BarBaraPrz I've been chasing the sun around the yard all afternoon. The big ol' tree in back kept blocking it out. I was warm enough in it, but not in the shade.

Thousands of people across the internet what to make changes to Halloween. But, thousands also want to just leave it alone. Should it be on the last day of October? If you look at the legend behind Halloween it should be right...

As I mentioned in a previous point, I had a routine check up today. My blood pressure turned out as usual, something like 128/70, whatever that means. Even with my smoking, my blood oxygen was where it is supposed to be. And my...

I was playing on the floor with Keke when Gabriel came in. Gabriel is one of my younger buddies, at 20-months of age, but he loves playing catch with me. He is a happy child, and rarely cries. One of the younger teachers sat...

All the plumbing talk on a recent post by @JudyEv reminded me of this. This is a little hand-washing basin which has separate hot and cold water taps, as is common in the UK. But something isn’t right, can anyone spot what it...

BarBaraPrz @Fleura Sure. Products are labelled in both English and French, government publications are printed in both languages, highway signs have both, too. French is taught in school.

BarBaraPrz I love separate taps. I have one of those single mixer taps on my tub and I can never get the temperature right... it's either too hot or too cold.

BarBaraPrz I wish it was '90' here (instead of 13). I remember blowing up a bike tire... and I do mean blowing up. It was deafening, ripped the tire and put it through the spokes and everything.
