  1. I have come to absolutely hate the 4th of July! It doesn’t even get dark here until 10pm so they start around 9:30 and go till after midnight. And it’s just days and days of it. I could handle it better if it was just on the 4th but allowing it for so long is just too much. Someone local is planning a big display for tonight right by us since they canceled the city run one. I’m so over it!
  2. I hate bras and so I hardly ever wear them. I’ve tried so many different brands and styles but I hate them all. I’m a 36B and usually either go without or wear a cami with a built in shelf bra. I stopped caring if it bothers other people if I don’t wear a bra long ago. It so much more comfortable for me to go without.
  3. He tweeted yesterday that he’s running for President this year. 🙃
  4. Mine isn’t up as high as the woman in the picture online. My glasses are plastic frames and the smallest I could get and still have progressive lenses so maybe they are just a tad bigger. It does fit my nose more comfortable (it seems a bit squished) if it’s higher but then it’s almost in my eyes.
  5. So, I tried again and I guess my face is just weird but there is no space between my glasses and the mask. They definitely sit on the mask. I ordered the medium and it fits well but the glasses just will not stay up with this mask. I may try some of the silicone things fire my glasses listed elsewhere and see if it helps.
  6. She’s had c diff before which is why we were so concerned but it’s looking like this was indeed just a stomach bug. She’s much better today. Thanks everyone!
  7. Do you wear glasses? I also purchased happy masks for all four of us but we all wear glasses and these masks have been the worst for us. The shape of the mask means our glasses keep sliding way down. It’s frustrating because I think I really like every thing else about it. I’m going to keep working at it but I don’t think they will work for us.
  8. I was worried I wouldn’t love it as much on the tv but it’s still so awesome! We’ll probably watch it a few more times. ❤️
  9. Does anyone have any good information to link on what this actually looks like? My mom had surgery this past week and spent several days in the hospital. Her stomach has been a mess the past two days so we called the doctors office and they say she isn’t the first to complain and they think there is a stomach bug going through the patients on that floor. I’ve heard a lot about some Covid patients only having stomach issues. Would it spread that way between all on the floor if that was the symptom of the spreader or would it be a mixed bag of symptoms and some respiratory? Would respiratory symptoms start later? Just trying to have all the info in case.
  10. We saw it in Chicago but we’re all so stinking excited to watch with the original cast!!!
  11. How do I safely (for her safety) stay at night with my 70 year old mother? Her recovery from surgery isn’t going near as well as hoped. I’ve spent the last several days at the hospital but would go home at night. Tonight, she’s at home and she can’t stay alone. I’m wearing a mask now during the day but what do I do while I’m sleeping. There is no way I can sleep in a mask as I’m really feeling the last few days and I feel like crud due to the mask wearing all day for several days. There is literally no one else so I have to do this. My teens are going out with small groups of friends and protests so I’m concerned about giving anything to her. Will just sleeping in a different room but masking when she needs me be enough? Doors will be open but I could be in another room.
  12. Maybe the bold is why I never think these things are issues with dh. His boss from 13 years ago spends Thanksgiving with us often. We think the world of him and at this point he’s basically family. When we travel back to CA, we meet up for a meal with dh’s old First Sergeant from the Marines. We’ve often become really good friends with who he works for and with, so working lunches don’t phase us.
  13. I just looked up Enterprise and their website states the minimum age is 21. It states you may be charged an extra $20/day if under 25 but your not restricted from renting. I also thought it was still 25 but I guess things have changed.
  14. This is the way I’ve always understood it. Like I said upthread somewhere, dh never does the after work socializing on his trips back to the office unless I’m with him. And it is about how he worries about things being misinterpreted. On one trip I went on, we ended up walking back a female employee who had too much to drink. Turns out she was staying in our hotel and on our floor. Dh said that was exactly the type of thing he wants to avoid when he’s traveling without me. If anyone had seen and he was alone, they might have come to a different conclusion and it could have been bad since she was drunk. That said, it’s not something he worries about during work hours at the office because it’s just not feasible. But he definitely doesn’t put himself in social situations outside of work that could be seen as something troublesome.
  15. I understand but it’s just not possible for everyone. I was talking about it with dh last night and he has many closed door private meetings with his female VP and female direct reports when he’s actually in the office (he’s worked from home the last 5 years). They can’t just leave the door open due to the nature of their business. There are privacy laws with what they discuss and they can’t chance people overhearing who shouldn’t. When he’s in the office, there are often lunches as there just isn’t enough time in the day. Sometimes it’s more than one person but, again, it depends on what needs to be discussed. It doesn’t mean their values are any different as there is nothing but work taking place. I was just curious what people meant but it’s not a big deal to me.
  16. The is exactly how I feel about dh as well. Just couldn’t put it into words as clear as you!
  17. Normal work stuff - meetings, lunches, some travel, etc. Same encounters I myself would have when I was working. Nothing big so when people state they make sure to never be alone with the opposite sex in regards to work I’m confused what they mean.
  18. What do people mean when they say they avoid being alone with the opposite sex in regards to work? My dh wouldn’t have his job if he avoided ever being alone with women. It seems like it could end up being really unfair but maybe you don’t truly mean they completely avoid being alone with the opposite sex. I have never had reason to worry about it with dh and he does have to travel here and there and often there are female employees traveling as well. His boss for three years was female so he definitely couldn’t avoid ever being alone with her. I don’t know, just seems like a weird statement in regards to work and careers. He does opt out of after work/conference get togethers and happy hours if it’s a trip where I didn’t tag along though. He doesn’t like the after work drinking/socializing if he’s alone.
  19. I love vacations! I enjoy the planning and we all love road trips so the driving is even enjoyable. We’ve taken road trips since both dc were super young. We’ve even driven coast to coast which was rough but also really fun. We are not ones who like to sit by the pool or take cruises so our trips are exhausting but we enjoy that. We all usually veg out in front of the TV the entire first day back at home but that’s part of the fun as well since we usually plan what show we’re going to binge watch. I don’t think it’s at all selfish for you to need a vacation from your trips. It’s important to take care of yourself so you can take care of those who need you.
  20. I start freezing in late afternoon and wake around 2 am burning up and sweating profusely. I just had a dr appointment and he told me he thought I was still close to 10 years to being done. It’s no fun at all.
  21. I am confused why some seem to focus on NY nursing home deaths when they are a huge problem for every state. They account for almost 50% of my state it looks like, and I think about 40% nationwide.
  22. Yes, I was really worried when gyms reopened but our numbers actually seemed to do ok with it. I was trying not to worry about the bars and then seeing the new cases today gave me pause. I’m hoping it’s nothing but bars are just a bad idea right now.
  23. We had a bit of a jump in cases today here in Indiana. Double what we had yesterday. Bars will have been open two weeks tomorrow. 😐 I’m really hoping it’s not the beginning of anything.
  24. It’s weird they are keeping track that way. I noticed our state dashboard will just change the date range when they give us new deaths everyday. Like, yesterday it listed 9 new deaths but the range was from the beginning of June until yesterday. Today’s might go further back or it might just be the last few days. No matter what I know when I see the new death number it is all new deaths known. They don’t hide it by going back and adjusting a previous day. That would bother me. They also give a number everyday of probable deaths so we know what’s coming. Dh’s company is based in FL and they’ve yet to allow employees back in the office but they let them know this week they considered themselves back at phase 0 due to the numbers there. I wish everyone in FL was taking it as seriously.
  25. My dc attend IU and there have been KKK flyers spread all over campus multiple times. Occasionally they were found inside dorms which really scared students. We had a detour once on our way there and hit an area that had Confederate flags at almost every single home. It’s scary.
