Most of what I find on the internet says no...however...the sites are mostly sponsored by the growers in California. So obviously they will say no.

Does anyone know if the winter classic - ice bowl- between the wings and the black hawks is sold out? I can't seem to figure out how to buy tixs...so I'm guessing it must be sold out.

Where would poetry fall? Is it considered fiction or NF?

I'm sure it's on the FL Doe site but I can't seem to find it. I"m new to teaching 4th grade in FL and I want to start looking the list over before the year begins.

My husband has both PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and gallbladder issues so he is on a whole lot of medicine daily. Including anti-depressants. Can this make it more difficult for us to get pregnant? We have been trying for over 2 years officially---longer if you count how long we have been off BC.

I'm reorganizing my library and I'm splitting it by fiction and non-fiction. Where would you place the Magic School Bus books. They are fiction characters in them...however they are a wonderful resource for non-fiction information also! Where would you put them? If you are a school librarian...where does your library have them located? Thanks for your help everyone!!!

I am moving up to 4th grade this year after 5 years in 1st. I am starting to think about how I want to organize my library. In first grade I had books in bins by themes - (like wild animal books, joke books, science books, books about transportation etc.) I think I want to break my library into themes again...but I'm not sure where to begin. Any suggestions? If anyone can tell me how they organize their libraries for 4th or 5th graders I would really appreciate it! Links to examples would also be great! Happy Summer to all!

Whenever I eat beef I get ill. Severe stomach cramps followed by diarrhea. (Sorry I know that's a bit personal) Is this the sign of something serious...or is my body simply not able to process it? I already avoid it whenever possible but sometimes it's the only choice.

What constitutes a late ovulation? My cycle is about 27-28 days and I usually ovulate around day 18 or 19. Would this be considered late? Could this be why I can't seem to get pregnant?

So I have been trying to get pregnant now for 2 years and it just hasn't happened! I have been told I have a tipped uterus. Can that make it more difficult to get pregnant? I have heard that after "trying" you should lay on your back with a pillow under your bottom...if my uterus is tipped should I lay on my belly with a pillow under my front side??? and PLEASE don't tell me it will happen when it's ment to. Thanks!

A new neighbor just moved into our apartment complex (about a month or so ago.) They have a dog that keeps getting out. It has been out 3 times in the last week and a handful of times before that. My husband has taken the dog back to them or gone over to let them know it was out a few times and they have been rude each time. Once they didn't even say anything and slammed the door in his face. (He is very soft spoken so I know he was not unkind.) I on the other hand am not...so tonight I had had enough and I walked the dog back and asked if there was a reason their dog roamed the apartment complex without a collar. The lady freaked out and started swearing and screaming that I should mind my own business. I told her it is my business when the dog is on my porch. I also told her the next time it happens I'm calling animal control. So here is my question do you think I over reacted? Or her? and next....will animal control come and get the dog if it doesn't have a collar?

This is a new behavior. He is getting the correct amount of food (per the dog food's website.) So, why suddenly is my dog trying to eat everything?

The mailboxes at my apt are in ill repair. Is it the apartment complexes job to fix them or the post office?

Ok so I'm working on my focus lessons for the week and I have to write them based on Florida Math Standard MA.A.2.1.2. When I looked it up I found I have no idea what it means.

"Students will use number patterns, and the relationship among counting, grouping, and place value strategies to demonstrate an understanding of the whole number system."

Can anyone tell me an activity that would fit this description? THANKS!!

My parents will be married for 30 years soon and my sisters and I are trying to plan a surprise celebration for them. We are thinking about just having a party and inviting fam and friends. However, my parents really do need stuff! Their towels are like cardboard, the sheets on my mom's bed are vintage 70's and all of her measuring spoons have melted handles because 10 years ago I left them too close to a burner!! We would love to register for them but it seems rather tacky. A friend suggested throwing my mom an anniversary shower. I'm confused. I really don't want to do something tacky so I"m looking for suggestions. Thanks so much in advance.

My husband and I stopped using birth control in Oct. 2005. We began actively trying in June 2006. Here we are nearly Aug. of 2007 and my doc. told me today this is normal. She said to use OPK's for another 6 months (I have only been using them for 2 months now) and see her after that if I still have not conceived. Does this sound right?? I was half expecting her to suggest fertility testing today. I am 27 years old. Any and all suggestions/advice/personal stories are appreciated!

Does it matter what brand prenatal vitamins I take? Are they different? My doctor gave me a bunch of different samples and told me let her know which ones I want her to prescribe. Any suggestions?

The box said anytime of the day as long as 4 hours had passed since you last urinated. But...I think I remember my doc saying first thing in the am!

Help!! I've been trying for over a year and I'm getting desperate!

I have decided to try an Ovulation Predictor kit to help me TTC. Anyone have a suggestion for the most reliable brand? Thanks.

Does anyone know of any freeware programs for capturing audio off of the internet? Or any freeware for DVD burning?
