So here I am at home. Dd has a very bad cold (no fever)I feel one coming on. For Two years dd had terrible cold at Oireachtas. Why do we have the oireachtas in November? I can't imagine a time of year where more people are sick. I'm thinking May/June would be nice.

I have two very attractive dresses for dancer I would say 14+. They are in great condition (thank god my mom was a neat freak!) and they are very good quality workmanship. I have had trouble selling them because they are for a slightly broader dancer. If anyone is interested in seeing photos please email me at sleiner_5372@ric.edu. I am away at school and funds are low willing to negotiate to a very reasonable price!

Subject: Re: 3 first rule post below. Can someone please clarify? I thought that if a child got two firsts in a year in PC then they were required to move on 1/1. Can the people who are "holding back" do this because the firsts were not achieved in one year? Also, what about the 17 /10 first thing. Does that mean that they got all of those firsts in one calendar year?

Sorry if this has been beaten to death but just another small plea to please keep dancers home if sick. I am not prone to panic about the flu or other illnesses but it is getting kind of rampant. Last night 3 dancers showed up to my dds class who were quite clearly ill. Some were out of school that day, all had been out most of the week. Not only is this unfair to the others but the sick kids will end up even worse if they don't stay home and rest. I was very disappointed our TC did not address this with them but this also needs to be enforced at home. Please, please, let's keep the sick kids home. It's not about the Os, it's about being a responsible parent (and ideally, TC).
