kyburgFirst off - following on from the other day?
Sixteen people have gone on trial in Vietnam accused of committing fraud over the foreign adoption of more than 250 babies, a court official says.
Those charged are alleged to have solicited the babies from poor families or single mothers.
They then faked documents to say the infants were abandoned, making them eligible for adoption by foreign parents, prosecutors allege.
Doctors, nurses and the heads of social welfare centres were among the accused.
This is what it looks like. This is what it looks like. Now you know.
In other news, particularly in the 'well, then' category - looks like the kid shares some of my allergies, the respiratory ones in particular (looks like he's allergic to ampicillin too, WTF), and like my allergies - they aren't debilitating, just a fecking nuisance. And his are ramped up a bit - say, mine go to four - his go to six.
So he didn't sleep at school yesterday, he coughed himself out of it - looks post-nasal, and we gave meds for it upon reaching home yesterday. Will have to get something more appropriate onboard, because all I have is Benadryl at home, and that is terribly effective at putting him out as well as dialing down the allergic response. That and Compazine...wish I could keep some of it around, but I'm glad I don't need to anymore. Let's hear it for really effective old drugs *eyeroll*.
I'll be glad when we've gotten through a full turn of the seasons and I have a better map of what he's allergic to here. Yes, I know this one - when I went to Switzerland, I took the BEEG bottle of antihistime because I knew there would be *something* I'd never encountered I'd be allergic to. Uh, yup. I'm allergic to chestnut trees. They don't have many chestnut trees in SoCal (there's one in Oak Glen, that's the only one I know of - singular) - so how would I know? When I got there in July, I started sneezing and didn't stop. First purchase was hankerchiefs. When Fall rolled around, so did the nuts on the ground. AHA!
Not so sure what kid is reacting to - Santa Ana winds are in the forecast, but I'm not convinced. Not the cats - they're a constant. But I'm a little reactive (eyes more than anything else), so there's something - not sure yet.
He's got a doctor's checkup coming up, so I'm going to ask for some better tools to keep on hand for him.
The latest toy craze is flat tray puzzles these. He literally can't get enough of them - good thing I took advantage of that Target dollar bin and got half a dozen of them back last spring.
You never know what you're going to use, I swear it.
I have Yom Kippur off. Once kid is at daycare/preschool - I can be anywhere for the day. Need to be home for dinner. There's a bit of buckage - not a bunch, but there will be some.
Suggest something.

I'll be over here figuring out what's for dinner.
