  1. What a scary day! I was reading your reply on the other thread and telling Dd to be more mindful of the 2 systems. She tends to drink a lot of water to dilute the allergen. Part of the reason is probably embarrassment if she is with friends or just trying to avoid bothering us and hoping that with enough liquid her symptoms will subside.
  2. I can’t use any American commercial sunscreens, but if it’s one that is hybrid from Korea, I don’t have any allergic reactions. Good to know about Missha!
  3. My parents had a blue Volvo, the distinctive vintage ones, and I miss the visibility of it.
  4. @soror That sounds like an exciting trip! I like the fact you just have a carry on. It’s the only way to travel for me to lessen stress. Are you staying at a house so that you can cook and do laundry? I have a friend who went back to Scotland after grad school, and I’ve always wanted to include it in a European travel just the way he used to talk about the country.
  5. I’m focusing on weight training for the next 3 months, spending about an hour each time, 1-3 times per week at the gym. It’s cheaper to join the gym if I commit to 3 months and in that way I’m compelled to go. I’ve been wanting to lift weights for years given that I’m probably genetically predisposed to osteoporosis/bone density. I hope starting at 50 will help a bit. I haven’t been to a weight room since I was 28 years old.
  6. So far I’m using the free Nurtec program, and I didn’t know it changed until you posted. So I’m going to be in the same position as you. I like Nurtec a lot. Up until the first week of January, I used to get the 8-pill packet every 21 days and used as needed. Due to switching insurance and then PCP I won’t be able to even see a doctor until March. I have some leftover pills but they will not last if I’m supposed to take 3 alternatives. If I were in your shoes I would quickly start the alternatives and let the doctor know the alternative doesn’t work. For me I’m not sure if I would even bother taking the alternative due to side effects. I don’t have any side effects with Nurtec. I still have one week to switch back to my original insurance so that I can go back to my old doctor in February. It was too good to last this long. I started in August 2023 when in received a free sample.
  7. How much magnesium do you take?
  8. If nothing invasive, I would use tretinoin prescription strength (I prefer an online pharmacy like Agency) and vitamin C such as Maelove or Timeless. I know there are devises such as MediCube or Nira Pro or even LED masks that could possibly help with collagen production, but they are rather expensive and could take a long time to see results. Congrats on the weight loss! I can barely get it down by 5#s.
  9. I love black faucets, but I don’t have any. I was planning to switch over slowly. I wonder what’s the next color. Gold? I’ve noticed more houses with this color.
  10. Life 360 is probably my most used app. Sometimes I need to switch to findmyphone if the person I’m tracking has low battery and can’t be tracked.
  11. Are you guys low income? There’s a federal program where you apply based on benefits you receive from the government or your income. I just helped a friend apply. But if it’s not about the cell phone bill which can be rather high when the entire family has phones, then you can buy a refurbished iPhone (this is just my phone of choice) or any other brand that is unlocked or compatible with Verizon. I did have to get my Dd a phone when we lost her at the zoo. None of us had cell phones, just flip phones for years, until maybe 8-10 years ago. At that time I only gave her a texting/calling option. And hey! Flip phones are now considered cool for the younger generation. It’s like so retro 😎
  12. Congrats! And Laura, you have a gorgeous smile!
  13. Dd has at least 4 friends at Mudd and one who just applied as ED 1. We wouldn’t have been able to afford it but would have considered taking loans for Mudd. Not that it matters, and it could just be the people we know or meet, but not many people know about Mudd or for that matter many of the LACs. To be in debt for a school that doesn’t have the instant name recognition feels bad if I’m in debt. Dd is now at a UC because we can afford the tuition. And I think she likes it because it’s a campus that suits her personality. But deep down I know that the consortium or any other suitable LAC would have been overall better for her. The debt would have been suffocating, but Dd would at the end probably have a better college experience at a small private liberal arts college.
  14. Sometimes I wonder about my husky. She barks and loves to snuggle next to the heater.
  15. Does raking leaves count? Multiple trees dropping leaves at various times mean raking daily.
