The amount of money and energy it takes to build your new Prius is greater than what the Prius saves. Granted, if you are buying a new car either way, get a hybrid (or some other greener option -- hybrids are not always a huge saver) but replacing every used car with a brand new Prius would be very harmful to the environment.

"atypical psychosis" is kind of a catchall diagnosis when someone is exhibiting symptoms that indicate a lack of connection with reality and distorted cognitions that do not fall within or fully meet another diagnosis. it's not a very helpful diagnosis for your cousin in terms of helping her understand prognosis. ita with pp that they need to provide her with some resources (it's called "aftercare" or "discharge" planning) and she needs to assert that she will not accept him into her care without these resources in place.

if she's not prepared to take him back in her home (especially if due to potential danger to herself, others or him), she should tell the social worker that he needs to pursue the homeless programs because he is in reality without a home. also, for her support, she might want to check out national alliance for mental illness (NAMI) - they can be a great resource for those who have severely mentally ill loved ones.

There's a hallmark store a few blocks south; I think it's on Madison. And the toy store in grand central is great for favors. [ Reply | More

Not worth stealing their joy/making this an issue. Something else that doesn't take up space is a gift certificate to a class (Big City Moms, 92nd St Y, Karma Kids Yoga, CMA have one-time uses... depending on your neighborhood)or for $120 or so a museum/zoo membership. [ Reply | More

the idea that your fantasizing that your db is ill-tempered and trying to "hit" you at 3 months of age is scar if it's true. [ Reply | More

but that you're worrying about him having a bad temper because he wiggles his arms and legs when he's flat on his back is really stupid. This is normal behavoir for a 3mo [ Reply | More

he's going to be fine. try putting the changing pad on the floor if you're nervous about this. certainly he will try to get away when he is MUCH older which is developmentally normal and not a sign of bad temper! :) [ Reply | More
