Keywords: car auto mercedes
Organization: Carleton University
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1992 13:49:48 GMT

The car is pretty sound in many ways, including the underbody, newish
brakes, good tires, and so on.  One quarter-panel was rebuilt by the
Mercedes dealer but one needs to be done.  The simplest treatment for
the front fenders would be to replace them with aftermarket items. The
engine ran fine, including winter starting, until about a year ago
when it began to shoot smoke out of the dipstick opening! I assume
that the rings are allowing blowby but don't know.
I would like to get $1,000 for the car in "as is" condition. It is in
Ottawa.

Hi:

I have volunteered to keep a FAQ on ADD and/or ADHD, and I need your
stories, comments, experiences, etc.

Please consider the following questions when preparing your "story".

Has your child been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD?  If so, at what age was
this diagnosis made?  What was going on with your child that made you
think to have a diagnosis done?  Is your child on medication?  If so,
which medication?  Do you have any advice for parents who may be having
trouble with a child?  Do you have any tricks that help with behavior
that others may want to try?

These are just a few ideas, please feel free add any other details that 
could be helpful to someone else seeking information.

Wow, you sound like a saint, that's a rough life.

A friend of mine had problems with her new baby, not nearly as
severe as yours though, and she found out that peanuts and
peanut butter were the cause.  She ate peanuts everyday for
a snack.  But they are gas-producing, and since she was breastfeeding,
caused a problem for the baby.  Once she eliminated the peanuts,
the baby was fine.  

Maybe you tried this already, but it's good to post since it was
something new I learned too (I would have never suspected peanuts).

I've noticed a pattern in toy pricing that gets me _really_ furious:  The
major toy companies will pick a small number of new toys to sell hard, 
targetting mostly for each Christmas's sales.  Even if a child never
saw television, these would be the toys that all the other kids were
talking about.  (Although one of the most persuasive arguments in my
book for getting rid of TV is to keep kids away from these stupid ads)
When these toys come out, the prices are always offensively
high (examples besides the $30 Puppy Surprise include "Oopsa-Daisy" ($40);
Teddy Ruxpin & other story-tellers ($75) and "Go-go, My Walking Pup ($40)).  
Then, once a year or two have
passed and these toys are no longer the real hot sellers, the prices drop
to levels that seem more reasonable.

Just good supply-and-demand capitalism or slimy opportunism?  More and more,
I'm  doing my best to avoid these toys, & I was pleased when my 8-yr old
daughter announced that these fancy toys just get boring after a little
while.

While I'd love to take credit for this, it was actually from Penelope

which this rule was promulgated.  I'm afraid I've since lost that
issue, but the article handled the whole topic of dealing with strangers

I live in Gainesville GA (about 40 miles NE of Atlanta), work in Duluth GA
(about 20 miles NE of Atlanta), and have Courtney Neeth in daycare in Oakwood
GA (about 5 miles south of Gainesville).  We pay $60 per week for infant care
(Courtney is 9 months old) and supply diapers and formula/food.  The daycare
costs for locations near work ranged anywhere from $86 to $110 (including an
NCR discount).  We would have paid this, but decided to put her in the daycare
closer to home (my husband drives 40 miles one-way to work and I drive 22
miles one-way to work).  Believe me, there have been very many times when I
am glad Courtney is not in the car with me (especially when it is raining
buckets and can only go 25mph on the expressway!)  The daycare is not part of
a nationally known chain, but a small independent center.
