  1. Particularly set in the US during that time period. We will be listening to it on a trip to the WASP museum in Sweetwater, TX (about 4 hours each way) A place to hang the moon by Kate ALbus is what I am currently considering but 1) England and 2) One of the kids has already listened to it
  2. A trip to Honduras with my son next summer.
  3. Wow. You're in a very low cost area. I'm in Texas here and people are paying closer to $2K/mo for 2 bedrooms. (They are looking for $1200/mo but having to travel a lot to find it)
  4. Note: The rash took a LONG time going away once it showed up. Even taking all the medicine, etc. And the area where the rash was felt numb and I started to wonder if it would be numb my entire life. And sometimes I'd "Feel" the numbness walking around even though it did not hurt. And yes it continued beyond the length of the medicine. However, about the time I thought about going to the doctor to see if it was normal, I realized the rash was getting less and less. And eventually even the numbness went away.
  5. YES! I had shingles a year ago (And a blessed doctor who identified my symptoms even without a rash showing yet and did NOT try to tell me it was all in my head (Which I was afraid it might be since I saw no reason for there to be so much pain!) And the relief was VERY fast once I started taking the antiviral. They also prescribed stronger pain pills but I only needed two total.
  6. This is so scary but I'd take it as good that he's still in the hospital with a plan of attack. Sepsis can go bad REALLY fast.
  7. Honestly, if someone does not like to dye their hair, they need to just stop. Their feels about what is socially required may not be accurate. And they need to be comfortable in their own skin enough to not care what other people think about things that are meaningless.
  8. The dressmaker's shears seem to have that angle so the handles are above the cutting. I believe the lower picture may actually be the 7.5" pinking shears. It is not dressmakers because it does not have that angle for cutting fabric on a table. If you notice, BOTH of the "cutting tips" look blunt instead of being one sharp and one wider like the dressmakers.
  9. What I am seeing for Gingher's are "knife edge Dressmaker" -- Are there non knife edge dressmaker scissors? I LOVE my Gingher's pair. They feel so solid in my hands and cut fabric FANTASTIC (And I keep them put away to keep them from being used for anything else) ETA if you are asking for Knife edge or serrated edge -- get the knife edge. They are the basic fabric cutting scissors. Serrated edge are harder to sharpen and used only for really slippery fabrics
  10. Yes I've got a friend who does door dash and she has her own stories about ridiculous customers.
  11. our guys wear it too. They'll be sent home from the job if caught without it. Oh -- Yeah I'm not sure I've seen people on residential roofs using safety equipment as much. But commercial? It's required.
  12. I do not think it is required at all to dye hair. White/gray hair is distinguished
  13. Oh cool. We've been travelling through West Texas on Christmas day. (A Sunday -- so may have been same year if it was recent). I forget exactly where we stayed that year -- Ft Stockton, Van Horn, or El Paso. But we woke up Christmas day in a hotel. We had the gifts and stockings with us. The kids got the stockings on Christmas morning to open, then we finished travelling to relatives in Arizona and did "christmas morning" the next day with family. (we made extra careful that day to keep topped up on gas but found the gas stations, at least, on that major road were open)
  14. Pretty cool that your husband knew what it was.
