My brother started at 20. It worked out for him because he decided to join the Army, so he bulked up and started shaving it. Many women like that look, especially with a uniform attached.

I got tired of listing free things, and even selling things. People are PITAs!! We live on a busy street and will put things out with a big FREE sign. I've recently rediscovered our local thrift store and have been bringing a lot to them. I like that they have 20 different charities they support, and we can choose who gets the money from our donation. They also take toys, which is very rare.

We have one Turkish restaurant near us that I love for the same reason. They're very expensive, though, so I treat myself once every few months. I love their soup and bread, and I was able to find simple and easy recipes for both online, so I make them quite often. I'm not low fodmap, so I don't know if the soup is or isn't. https://www.unicornsinthekitchen.com/turkish-red-lentil-soup-mercimek-corbasi/ I usually add one peeled potato to the soup to give it a little more body. The squeeze of lemon at the end is a must. I make it a generous squeeze! https://merryboosters.com/easy-no-knead-ramazan-pidesi/ The bread has an egg wash, and I'm still looking for a good substitute for that. I was going to try aquafaba the next time I make it.

What's been driving me crazy is different doctors using different payment/health info portals. I have two elderly people living here, and their doctors all use different portals. I'm the one that has to handle this because the 2 elderly folks are not tech savvy at all. One of them can barely use the portable phone lol. We have most regular bills on autopay. If it's not on autopay I have reminders on my Apple watch to pay certain bills on certain days of the month. I also have them scheduled in my planner.

It helped almost immediately for my thyroid (Hashimoto's), but I wasn't seeing any benefit for MS for a while. It took about 6 months before I really noticed any difference, and it came on so slowly that it wasn't very remarkable until I sat down and thought about the changes.

I did level 2 for a while. I did have less fatigue, but I can't say it helped with any other MS symptoms. I also lost weight, about 20 pounds. I kept the protein low - at about 12%. It bothered my stomach a lot at higher amounts. I also did more like 7 cups of veggies. Luckily 2 cloves of garlic counts as one cup of sulfur veggies! Now I'm transitioning to OMS, especially after my brother died of esophageal cancer. I've also been taking LDN, and after 7 months my fatigue is mostly gone, as well as the nerve pain in my left leg. I barely have any spasticity also. In fact the last 2 weeks I've been logging about 12,000 steps a day while we are emptying rooms for painting and renovations, so lots of lifting, going up and down stairs, etc. Heat intolerance is better, too. I know there is some controversy with Dr. Wahls about one of her treatments - I think she was on one of the chemotherapy-type drugs? I don't remember... Some think that may account for her improvements, not just diet. I was turned off when she started charging for everything, and doing a lot of affiliate marketing, selling supplements, etc.

I haven't read all the replies, and don't know the laws in your area, but where I live it would not be legal to build a tiny house on a property with an existing house, but we are in the suburbs, 25 minutes from NYC. In our area mother/daughter set ups were popular but I'm not sure if they are still around with the current real estate market in our area. We used to think that we would buy a 2 family some day for us and our s/n son but two-families are a hot commodity here. My neighbor and a family member co-owned a two-family in town, and it is really run down. They sold as-is for over $600,000, to real estate investors. It was listed at $450,000. But maybe a 2-family or mother/daughter set up would be more feasible in your area?

I'd stay right here in Northern NJ. I'm a Jersey girl, what can I say! But my second choice would be coastal Maine. I just wish it were more affordable and less conservative in my town. I like the convenience of where I live - everything is close by, but I'm in a smaller town without a highway running through it. We have decent gun laws - I think we're the 2nd strictest state. Coastal Maine I've only visited during the summer through late September, so I don't know what winters are like, but the people seem super friendly. There's just something about the sound of the lobster boats, and looking at the water that I find so relaxing. If I had the money I'd at least own a vacation home on the water!

So far it looks better out there this morning, but air quality is still bad. I've been using a KN94 in the rooms I don't have an air purifier in, and barely going out. Last night I got very out of breath on my third flight of stairs to my bedroom. That hasn't happened since I had Covid. I do take NAC every day, so hopefully it was a one day thing. And the migraine - ugh. I don't take any meds anymore because they are so rare nowadays. I'm going to try 1/8 teaspoon ginger - just saw that on Nutritionfacts.org. When we went out yesterday evening I did see a lot more masks than earlier in the day. Stay safe everyone!

I was just out (Northern NJ) and it amazes me that nobody is masking. Just me and one other person I saw. There were quite a few elderly people walking in this, people with car windows rolled down, one person jogging, crazy!! I'm only going out when it's absolutely necessary. My chest is getting a little tight and I have a headache. And like a previous poster mentioned, it really does look like Mordor! It's getting worse by the hour, too.

That kitchen looks very attractive compared to what I'm cooking in every day!! I love having lots of cabinet space, so that wouldn't bother me at all. I would possibly paint the cabinets and replace the hardware. Personally, I'm loving the dark blues I've been seeing in magazines lately, and brushed nickel is my favorite for hardware. Maybe a more colorful backsplash - it need some color somewhere in my opinion.

I chose yes, but I actually use mayo and ketchup. I don't blend them together though, which is why I don't just buy mayochup.

It was 4 am and I was starving. All the hospital had available was jello or a sandwich of some sort, don't remember. I took the sandwich. 3 bites in I almost threw up, so that was the end of that. I couldn't tolerate anything for a few more hours but I was absolutely ravenous!! I had a full breakfast when I could finally handle food - eggs, ham, toast, hash browns, tea, OJ.

Is she able to do large print word search puzzles? I buy them all the time for my mil and elderly neighbor, and Amazon has some really nice ones. Mil has really bad arthritis in her hands and neighbor has poor vision. The two of them sit in the dining room every day for over an hour doing them. They also play Yahtzee - they make larger dice, and I scanned and enlarged a score sheet that I can print out for them. I've even seen a dry erase one that was a decent size. They play this most nights.

I hate QBO with a passion!! They've removed functionality while increasing the price, and support is impossible to get. They used to have excellent support years ago. Our company is modernizing a legacy accounting package, so I will eventually migrate to that, but I do like the ability to process credit cards from within QBO.

I love Chewy! Plus, when my pet passed away and I had to cancel my deliveries they sent flowers and a handwritten card.

Recently I've noticed I've jumped into the next age bracket on various polls. 😭I'm 55, but in my head I'm still 30.

We are having this: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/237474/chef-johns-roasted-leg-of-lamb/ I'm trying to avoid meat, but I will probably have a small slice. It's delicious! We will also have roasted potatoes and maybe roasted asparagus, not sure yet.

Mil's corningware gets a lot of use in our house! I use the smaller ones to cook chicken legs for my neighbor all the time. The really large one we use to heat up frozen meatballs and sauce. I don't have any other sizes anymore.

I'm surprised you had to attend with a nursing newborn. I got out of it for homeschooling and being the main caregiver for my special needs son. They took me off the rolls completely in that county.

Ok, that's good to know about the coupons. I was looking at the app and found Warehouse deals, and they listed coupons that had to be swiped to clip them, but I guess I don't need to bother doing that. I'll be looking for the lemon cupcakes! I love all things lemon!

I was not impressed with their app or the website. It took me forever to figure out where to clip coupons! That is one area where BJ's is better. Also, I guess they don't do curbside pickup?

When we were there the gas was $2.99/gal for regular, our local stations were in the $3.18 range. It's not close enough to fill up regularly there, but I will make sure our tank is low when we do go.

Tires are on our list for next month, good to know!

That's great to know about the olive oil! I'm really picky with my soy milk so I was afraid to try theirs. Some brands seem to have a slight (or not so slight) sharpness to them, like Silk brand. I usually buy Westsoy unsweetened organic, and so far it seems to be the only brand I like. I guess I could donate them if I don't like them. It's been hard to find the Westsoy lately and it's been expensive! I will check out the clothes on our next trip. The first trip was so overwhelming!!
