    Spookie- what kind of flute? I play flute too. I remember my first flute in grammar school being a lot a the time (we rented until we owned it). I bought a really nice flute around 2010 from a friend of mine whose mother was selling it. It is worth a couple grand and got it for $500. Had a couple of my flute people check it out. I got a smokin' deal on that one.

    I have a violin, two saxophones, two flutes, and am seeking my own special pan. Next I need to build a house with a music room!

    Spookie,sooo sorry, DD must be beside herself. What a mess, the kids have no idea how much trouble this is going to be for years. Have police charges been filed? Someone in the family did something similar. It was a big legal mess.

    When she first picked it up we rented a Geminhart? till paid off. Don't remember how much. When in HS she had lessons from the flute prof at USF who arranged to get this one. It is one step down from what James Galloway used to play. Can't think of the brand. He has a platinum model now!!weve seen him with the gold one.

    She plays bagpipes too, has the Highland pipes, about 100 years old, and a set of kitchen pipes. Keyboard and guitar. Drums

    But she is a music teacher, so has access to just about anything.

    No, no charges. The other principal reamed them out, their principal reamed them and DD. They were going to send her to OPS. but that isn't going to happen. Thank Dog. She thinks it will die down. There isn't school Mon here, that's a good thing I think.

    Oh boy!! I feel for you and DD, Ms. Spookie. Kids don't think sometimes when they are bored. It could be a cry for help/attention. They do need to know that there are consequences for such behaviors/actions. So sorry for the stress.

    Susan! That was brilliant! Sorry, I missed your post the last time. I don't want to think ANY cancer is terminal.... Or any disease for that matter! I hope you shut those gals up GOOD!

    To see my friend Carol, who was full of life one minute, then a stroke took the rest of her life is unimaginable... She can't think, or talk or barely move. But to LOOK at her in the wheel-chair, you would see "nothing" wrong. There is just nothing left in her head..... Been almost 7 months, and nothing is different... I pray for her every night.

    So NO, stage lV for any cancer still leaves your fighting spirit, your hope, and a long life....

    Okay, my chicken neighbors flew to Hawaii! HE forgot his ID!!! and here I thought HE was the one who had the brains.... So they want ME to go IN their house, with that security system that scares the bee-jeezus out of me, and go in his closet and find his ID...!!!!! Good God, that whole idea has me thinking the cops will be out front waiting for me! THEN I'm supposed to take it up to this place, and MAIL IT TO THEM!

    MY QUESTION IS, IF I GET IN THAT HOUSE WITHOUT THE POLICE CAN I SEND THAT ID WITH A FAX????? I mean wouldn't that be quicker? They GOT there, let them get HOME without it, right? I tell you..... 2 people THAT young age, and get through life with a pocket-full of brains is just mind boggling ! They got more money than brains! His folks AND hers keep them buying everything in the world!

    I sent her an email this morning, telling her to check this out.... I don't mind DOING it... but I just don't want to screw it up, like not setting the alarm, or not getting it to them in time.... I can't figure out, why he would come home from work, take his ID out of his wallet, put it on the shelf in the closet, and get out to DIA withOUT it! They got 2 kids! Now I had 2 little kids, and I didn't lose my MIND! All 4 of them went to Hawaii... So I guess kids don't need ID's?

    Do any of you know....?

    Oh Spookie...I was on the last page, and posted...Then saw this page...sorry about those kids. Sounds like an up-hill mess for your Daughter. Didn't one have something to do with you falling and breaking your wrist? I wouldn't watch them either.... Is their Dad in the mix? Can someone else intervene and help these two?

    They should have to do community service or something... I know what WE would have gotten if my Brother and I did something like that... but I heard that type of punishment is no longer acceptable. Sounds like no boundaries, or discipline, that that one influences the other and all hell breaks loose....

    Rosie, I never heard of a "pan" drum either, until Jazzy talked about it, and I looked it up. Costco Lasagna....Hah! I bought that Chicken Fettuccine once from them, and MAN, that stuff was good for about one bite... But then it gelled altogether, and got worse looking by the minute... I finally took the chicken chunks out, rinsed them off, and took them to this little dog that lives in the home near Theresa....! I mean the DOG doesn't live in a room by herself, she lives with WILMA...and her name is Abby, and I take her Chicken every time we go see Theresa! See? I have brain-cells, they just are getting sparser..... EYE know what I mean, you just have to figure it out.

    Just one more thing... ONE time my Brother, threw a fire-work on the ground towards these girls that were walking... One girl got a hole blown in her leg!!!! They sued my Mom and Dad! And somehow that's all I remember about that, because I think I blocked the chit-storm that happened after that.... He just wanted to scare them.... but it caused a BIG mess!

    Spookie- I went back and read your post about your DD and grandsons. I am so sorry about what happened. Ruin her birthday indeed and then some. I don't blame you for not wanting to have them with you after school. I hope things get better for the family soon. Hugs sister.

    spooks, my hubby's brother was kicked out if everything. Such such trouble. There were 6 of them, he was 4th. My hubby followed him by one year, so all the teachers looked at him like...here we go again. My hubby is to scared to be bad. But this bad bad kid, turned out to be one of the best people I have ever been blessed to meet. And luckily his mom lived long enough to see that. He has 8 children. You can only imagine how he raised them. There were raised so strict cause of his past. He knew the trouble that was out there...lol his kids are a joy to be around. One really bad kid and a great story in the end. We never know what the future holds.

    My daughter and hubby are in this afternoon. Haven't seen them in 2 months.....I'm so happy :)

    Have a good weekend all

    I hope it all turns out well. If I had them full time, I wouldn't have put up with their chit from the beginning. But what can you do? I've tried. My SILs mom has married 5 times, so he has no idea how a father should be. DD wasn't raised this way, I was strict. She isn't blameless either. I just sent her a few suggestions for them, don't know how that will go over.

    Spookie- I hope everyone can get to the root cause of what is going on with the boys. I am sure there may be many reasons for what is happening, most things in life have a number of factors occurring until something reaches a breaking point. Nothing is every as simple as it seems. Hopefully your suggestions will be welcomed vs. anything else.

    Wishing your family better days.

    Chevy, I've been wondering how you know your friend with the stroke can't think if she can't communicate. If she really can't think, that is indeed a tragedy.

    It's like she just "isn't there..." She can re-act to what you say and then she either laughs...or says YES and NO! But then nothing.... I think she understands what we say, just can't get a thought out..... One time she was TRYing to say something, and it came out all garbled, and not understandable..... Just a bunch of letters of the alphabet put together in no order.... and she SHOUTS.... probably trying to say what she is thinking..... But her "thought" just stays for a second.....

    She just mostly sits there, listening... I just wish she could talk.... like simple words... and maybe only one at a time.... but her brain won't let her. So I can't call her.... I post photo's on her FB page... and hoping her SIL will show them to her.... It IS a tragedy.... one second everything is fine.... then the stroke.... and laying there for about 6 hours.... and now I guess you could say she is lucky to be alive.... but I'm not so sure.....

    Hi Wren, Popping in. Aphasia is a disruption of ability in communication. It all depends on what part of the brain was affected and if the right and left halves are communicating. The neurologist with the help of the Speech Pathologist can determine what functions are present. In the USA stroke/head injury teams evaluate their skill portion to define the problem and solutions for helping the patient and family. The key in the end outcome, is that family and caregivers use the best measures to communicate with the patient.

    The outcome of that evaluation doesn't always get communicated well. As in Chevy's friend. If her deficits were adequately communicated to the family and caregivers, they would have a better grip on how to communicate with her. Based on Chevy's description, something's have been missed.

    I had a patient one time that was brought in for what was initially diagnosed as a TIA. TIA was ruled out. Docs learned he had a previous stroke with expressive aphasia. He was as he was before. Original dx at hospital associated with Duke. He came to our little town and was excited to see his sister's. His speech got garbled more than usual b/c of excitement. Not unusual in his case. After doing some questioning, I found out no one had ever explained to him and the family about aphasia and his particular aphasia. This was 6 years after initial episode. This shouldn't have happened. They were all very happy to learn the stuff I taught them for his case. Each case is different.

    The involvement of a Neurologist and Speech Pathologist/Therapist in developing a plan, is immensely important to help the brain injured patient communicate. In Carol's situation she is thinking. The sending of the message sounds like it is the primary expressive aphasia. But they're many types of aphasia, and they can have a mix of several. Hence, the need for specific evaluation and a plan to teach the patient and family.

    The above link is a minimum description to aphasia, but it is written in lay person english

    Chevy- I am sorry your friend has not been able to recover better from the stroke. I remember you saying they found her after a long time and know that quick intervention usually results in the best recovery. I hope she can enjoy your photos. Strokes and dementia are both terrible diseases that rob the mind and body.

    Hugs sister.

    This knowledge of aphasia's goes back along time. It was there when I was in nursing school in the 70's. Not sure why they're are failures in the system.
