God can do the math!

Another school I had hoped would accept Philip can not. German grade school kids are generally required to attend grade school in the neighborhood they live in. Next year this school will move to a full day school (8:30am-3:15pm). At this point, we maybe able to say we want full day school(Philip's school is only half day), and get him in. Germany will not allow me to home school (but I'm still praying to home school). It looks like he just has to stay in his present school. His teacher will not like this. She can not kick him out. She has to accept him until the end of 2ND grade. Poor Philip is so far behind, I see no way he can handle 2Nd grade. I am working hard with him every day. We are seeing progress. We also start detoxing him from heavy metal poisoning tomorrow. It is a very long slow process. You give the drug DMSA for 3 days every 4 hours (even in the middle of the night) then take an 11 day break, followed by the next round of DMSA. It could take a whole year to get rid of all the heavy metal (mostly Mercury). Every 4-6 weeks he will need lab work done (blood and urine). I wish I had more options for Philip. I guess all I can do is keep working with the tools God puts in my hands. Right now it looks like I only have a few small fish and some small crumbs of bread. The need looks over whelming. I figure God can do the math!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
