  1. No. The body was found yestsrday. And it wasn't just a pic of the van, but rather a long video taken it 6pm on the 27th. His parents announced him missing prior to yesterday's discovery of a body 900 feet or so from where the van was parked on the 27th
  2. Oh, I know that feeling of studying the summary of charges page. It's akin to googling a symptom and then freaking out over all the horrible ailments that it brings up. I hope the insurance adjustment arrives soon and lessens your worry.
  3. In NY all immunizations of kids under 19 are automatically uploaded to a state immunization registry. For those over 19, they will ask for verbal or written consent. I'm not certain if those same laws have been modified for Covid. When my husband thought he lost his covid card, we googled and read that there's a state place to call to get a copy. I am glad he found it because it probably would have taken months or more to receive another one.
  4. That's certainly not what we experienced. My husband had his vaccine at the Corning CC and it was extremely efficient. I had mine done at the Riverside Convention Center in Rochester and it was exceptional. Everywhere I see now the places say walk ins welcome. I can not imagine it still being a wild west scenario, unless you are commenting on the incompetence of health care givers in your part of the Southern Tier?
  5. The couple that saw her van on the 27th have 10,000 followers( Red White and Bethune). Their little boy died in a car accident and they devote Septembers to paying good deeds forward in his memory. His birthday was today. They called the LEO yesterday about seeing the van, but didn't feel like the person they spoke to was interested enough, I think she said, so early today they released the video to their followers in case any of their fellow campers saw it on the campground. They also are not making any money off of it, according to their livestream, though they do fundraise for some type of mental health organization
  6. I try to stick with independent news stations. My favorite had a piece on this when it debuted
  7. I hope that the main reason her case became widespread was not due to her skin color but I think though that perhaps a majority of people that travel+hike+camp and follow others on social media that do the same are young and white. We all like to solve things. How many times here have all of you written your opinion on what something is or why someone acted a certain way? It's human nature. And with the ease of social media the hiking-van life community got involved, along with every other wannabe Columbo. I actually think some of these people contributed greatly. One told LEO and they FBI about seeing her van along a creek and then posted the video. I am fairly certain, from other's sleuthing, that the FBI found her remains .2 miles from that spot. So with an entire National Park to search, I believe her family is very, very grateful for that couple to become enterested enough to tell authorities. Come on, we all know anything can become viral. I bet plenty of you even watched the slow motion car chase with OJ on TV years ago. People can feel sorry for more than one murdered person. Yes, it's a shame most are ignored, but that doesnt take away from the horror. Complaining about it on a board devoted to the minutiae of lives here, mixed in with a bit of serious stuff, with everyone wanting to give their take on things, seems a bit off putting.
  8. Deleted because this is a JAWM thread about the insanity of her situation. I will take my anger at stupid people who have made light of this pandemic and then complain when it comes back to bite them to a more appropriate thread. I'm sorry, OP that your kids are being affected due to such widespread incompetence.
  9. Prisma are wonderful. I prefer Prisma when they're feeling artsy and Crayola for school work.
  10. New England Aquarium in Boston. We've been going there for over 20 years. How I never knew they had a penguin cam is a mystery https://www.neaq.org/visit/at-home-events-and-activities/webcams/penguin-colony-webcam/

  12. There is a very long thread on reddit that I have found to be so much more informative than just googling the news.
  13. "She could have left." I'm sorry, but that is victim blaming. And stomach turning. We all know it's a sad situation.
  14. Yes. Often there will be somone at the front desk that monitors visitors and answers calls from family members. That is the person to remain polite and interested in, as they will be the one to give your requests to the caregivers.
  15. Will the LTC allow you to bring( and will they launder) her own towels, pillows, and bedding? My parents hated the facility's towels and sheets. Will she be in physical therapy? They usually ask that the patient be in sweatpants or athletic type pants and t-shirts. My parent needed very little variety in clothes, unfortunately, and ended up in gowns and robes. Comfortable grippy socks or loafers, and sneakers during therapy. We placed them in a nice facility, but still there were patients wandering in and out of rooms and taking whatever they wanted. Of course we were not upset with them, but it was frustrating. And sadly, be careful if she has jewelry, because health care workers are not always beyond having sticky fingers.

    Except that she removed it. I have been reading old threads here and that seems like a common thing, people keep responding to the situation, even if they did not read the original and are guessing by the previous. I have never seen that it any other place I frequent.
  17. How about these, they're on sale https://www.clarksusa.com/c/Cora-Poppy/p/26156824
  18. We bought a new to us, vintage set of speakers. They sound beautiful.
  19. This is what affects me more today. Anniversaries of tragedies are always sad. But what have we learned? It wasn't about faith or religion, but a hatred of others. And we are so deep in that, still today.
  20. I've been thinking about how conspiracy whackos have found a way to monetize and become empowered through their hurtful lies. 9-11 was how Alex Jones and his ilk became mainstream. There is a congressperson who in 2018 or 2019 was still claiming it did not happen the way we think, and then after elected had to admit she was wrongg, yet still found a way to place the blame on the deep state and not her own idiocy. I find it hard to balance thewarm feelings about how we all came together, because we seem to not be able to separate the actions of 9-11 with the invasion of a country due to untruths. There were plenty of people who loved his country enough to be horrified at our later actions. It's heartbreaking to think how we would act as a society if something like this happened again. I'm always brought to tears listening to the victims names being recited by relatives and loved ones.
  21. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/enslaved-tour-guide-stephen-bishop-made-mammoth-cave-must-see-destination-it-today-180971424/ I visited this cave multiple times as a child. My kids loved it. I think the children's book about it is called Journey to the Bottomless Pit.
  22. We went to one in Hamburg, Pa not too long ago. I hope it's still open. It is! https://g.co/kgs/PAzi11
  23. So you want it as a hangout place for books and TV- how many people will be using it? Do they prefer to sit right next to someone on a couch, or do they prefer to sit farther apart? I hate having 3 people in my sofa, there is room enough, but even 2 makes me feel like I have to crane my head around to speak. I prefer a 3 seater sofa, a recliner, and a small love seat or a chair and a half. I do not care for coffee tables, but that is because I have a small front room.
  24. She was being honest, and you chose to be very ungracious and condescending. This board is very perplexing.
  25. Yes, use it for desserts. Turn it into frozen yogurt pie topped with cookie or fruit bits, or put some between two large cookies. But that may defeat the purpose if you bought it for health reasons!
