    I totally understand. I usually post in the evening from my phone or ipad. I'm hard pressed to get use of a computer at home with two kids despite the fact that the youngest has an ipad mini and an iphone and the oldest has an iphone and a macbook air. The high school issues them the macbooks for the school year.

    It's public school. The high school is only about five or six years old. To be honest, I don't know how they afford computers for all the students but they've been doing it since the school opened. I'm thankful. It helps my daughter and keeps me from having to buy her a laptop until college. I hope they continue to do it until my youngest gets thru there too.

    Work is going better since the boss is here today. My wife called after taking the dog to the vet. I guess it's got a grass pollen allergy. It's been chewing at it's feet and making them raw. I should have researched shiba inu dogs better before I agreed to let the youngest talk me into getting one. If it continues, she'll have to get at least a couple shots a summer. She could grow out of it though.

    Some of the schools in California started giving the students IPads for the school year. Turns out its cheaper for them to buy IPads thru apple and get electronic textbooks instead of buying new printed text books each year. You should have your wife check with vet about giving the dog Benadryl for the allergy s. a couple of mine had grass allergy s and the vet told me to just give them that. I think was 1 pill for every 75lbs. One of mine was so bad that he looked like he rolled in a bee hive but Benadryl cleared it right up. Finally he outgrew it

    Just so happens that our vet bought a house in our neighborhood and my wife ran into him while walking the dog a couple weeks ago. He told her then to give the dog benadryl and we've been doing that but it still hasn't kept her from going after her feet. It just makes her tired and sleep for a while. Then when it wears off she kinda crashes and gets the shakes a little bit. I just didn't like how it affected her.

    Our kids have some electronic textbooks too. I'd bet you are right and it ends up being cheaper. They used to have HP netbooks but switched to apple a couple years ago. I would bet that they are on some kind of lease or something because they are supposed to change out every four years I think.
