From the NY Times - Ms. Abedin reached her new working arrangement in June 2012, when she returned from maternity leave, quietly leaving her position as deputy chief of staff and becoming a special government employee, which is essentially a consultant. A State Department official said that change freed her from the requirement that she disclose her private earnings for the rest of the year on her financial disclosure forms. Still, during that period, she continued to be identified publicly in news reports as Mrs. Clinton’s deputy chief of staff. Officials in the State Department and Clinton circles seem especially sensitive about the arrangement, and no one would speak about it on the record. Earlier this month, Mr. Weiner released a copy of the couple’s 2012 tax return showing that they had income of more than $490,000. But when pressed on the matter, Mr. Weiner declined to discuss what, if any, income Ms. Abedin derived from work done outside the State Department. An associate of Ms. Abedin’s said on Thursday that the arrangement allowed her to work from her home in New York, rather than at the State Department’s headquarters in Washington, and to spend more time with her child and husband. She earned approximately $135,000 from the department during 2012. It is not clear how much Ms. Abedin was paid by Mrs. Clinton privately, or from the Clinton Foundation and Teneo. The Clintons have described Ms. Abedin as a surrogate daughter to them. [ Reply | More

Same OR from above (post-nasal drip). They can look at her throat, to see if it's irritated. Nighttime coughing is almost ALWAYS post-nasal drip. I'll save you a few bucks on a copay...strip her bedding...wash it in hot water. Get an allergen-barrier mattress and pillow covers (that protect against dust mites). Remove any unnecessary bedding/stuffed animals/etc from her bed. Put all of her stuffed animals in a plastic bag for a few days (tied shut). Give her one or two at a time (also wash in hot water if they can go in washer). Vacuum bedroom thoroughly. Remove area rug (if wood floor). Keep bedroom window closed, wash her hair at night before bed if she's been outside playing. This will all help reduce dust, dust mites, and pollen - most commen allergens. Sorry so long-winded, but these are all things we've done. Pollen is BAD right now, too. [ Reply | More

OK mom: Are you guys joking?! Blaming this on parents? Parents are told over and over that kids are safer in schools than they are in their homes. And that is true 99.95% of the time. This is the first time in OK history that kids in a school building were killed in a tornado. Yet kids get killed in houses every year from tornadoes. School buildings are built much stronger than most houses, and teachers are well trained in tornado procedures. It was actually the less-smart move to pick your kid up from school in the middle of a hailstorm to take your chances at your own home as opposed to trusting that your kids would be safe in the only place that kids have never died in a tornado...

I'm not blaming the parents. As one of the parents who left her kids at school I am definitely not blaming anyone.

Many of these people have underground shelters at their homes. Everyone knows that's the safest place to be. I'm just telling you what happened. [ Reply | More

OK mom: Yesterday, when people tried to get away from the tornado just to the east of OKC, several people were severely hurt when their trucks were blown off highways. It just isn't smart to try to get out and "outrun" the storm--much better just to hunker down in your safest room with blankets and pillows and hope for the best. It works for almost every tornado, except for the really crazy ones. [ Reply | More

Tornadoes are like a runaway bus hurtling toward Times Square. You can see it coming, but it's impossible for everyone to get out of the way. An elderly lady I knew when I was a child told me she saw one go down the middle of the street when she was young, swerving occasionally to take out random houses, leaving others untouched. I saw the aftermath once, too, when a small town was completely wiped off the map, including natural landmarks: I couldn't tell where I was until my father pointed out a small stream that used to run on the other side of a hill that wasn't there anymore.

They were warned, but it was a monster tornado. I think it actually shows how well prepared people were that only 51 people died - when you look at how many buildings were destroyed, you can see that an awful lot of people in those buildings must have sheltered safely. It's terrible that 51 people died, especially the little kids, but I think it could have been much worse. [ Reply | More

Waking up this morning, in a rush like most Monday mornings, persuading my little one to get up for school by making her favorite chocolate chip waffles. Getting her ready, doing her hair. Getting frustrated when she's squirming and crying cuz her hairs knotted up and getting pulled. Running out the door, can't be late. Watching my little girl as she jumps out of the car and runs towards the building, hearing her say I love you as she runs towards her classmates. There is nothing more devastating than not being there to protect my child, to save my child, to tell her it'll be alright. No more chocolate chip pancakes, fussin over doing hair, and no more I love you's, all of it taken away so fast. There is nothing in this world that would make this ok, there is no replacing, no going back. Taken away way to soon. [ Reply | More

I'm not sure how true that is. Paris Hilton is rich and lives like she is rich. Warren Buffet and his family are living in their tax bracket. People who have $$ in the bank aren't rich but sacrificed a lot to get it. DH isn't rich by UB standards but he has $700K total (retirement and liquid cash savings and stocks) but he drives a heater car and yells at me for buying stuff at Trader Joes instead of Associated or Western Beef (or insert your discount grocery store). He won't pay for a vacation that requires flying and never buys breakfast or lunch. Sure. It is nice that we don't have debt, no car loans, and a low mortgage payment. But it sucks being constantly obsessed about where every penny you earn goes. TRULY rich people have a consistent income stream that always exceeds the expenses and bills. People who are UMC with 800K+ homes, luxury cars, and private school tuition for their DCs are probably living above their means because if one or both spouses stops working, the whole house of cards starts falling down. So no, I don't agree with this. Rich people are people who really don't have to even look at their bank account balance to say, "yeah I can afford to buy that." Higher socio economic class goes a lot further toward establishing wealth. [ Reply | More

We try not to waste money, but we really make enough for us to fully support both sets of parents (to the same as our lifestyle) and to indulge ourselves a little. For example, I have high quality handbags and he has a golf simulator with all the bells and whistles. We take a lot of vacations. But we try to save money too. Our tips: DON'T WASTE FOOD because you're just throwing money away, shop at Aldi, shop at farmers' markets for herbs, shop at Costco, bring your own lunch, never buy food at movies or airports, never pay full price for clothes or shoes, go to thrift stores, avoid Black Friday because things are cheaper at Columbus Day sales.

Clip coupons, look for bargains, never pay full price for anything. You can usually avoid shipping fees if you speak with a supervisor, especially if you've dealt with the place before. Remind companies what a loyal customer you are - it matters. Even if they don't have a price-matching deal, as few (if any) department stores do, you can talk to a manager and explain that you could buy something for $X at their competitor, but you'd rather shop there. You can get a price match or, sometimes, a flat % off your entire purchase that way. [ Reply | More

Good luck. I'm blanking on the name of the board but why not try on an IVF/fertility website. Thinking it might be fertilethoughts or something. Feel like you'll have a larger sample size there. [ Reply | More
