I’m hoping to get some ideas here. DH asked me for a list the other day and all I could come up with was craft scissors. He wasn’t really impressed. 😊

I can’t say anything. I would have been fine cancelling school Tuesday when Disney + launched. 🤣😂🤣

That’s a great update! I’m glad to hear it. 😊

Hell to the no. How is this legal anyway!?! I am a wimp who won’t watch scary movies or attend regular haunted houses.

We had a beagle that did that pretty much every day. But she did it as an adult dog. Since it’s a puppy, I think you’re doing the right thing taking him in. My current beagle has never done it. Also, shame on whoever was mean to a beagle puppy. They are the best doggies, in my opinion.

Yes you did the right thing.

I’m interested!

I’m 36. I’ve always known blackface wasn’t okay. So add me to the list of those who don’t get it.

I was also wondering if maybe it was related to the military or politics/voting? But I might be totally off base. I’m really confused by the thread, and I’ve read the whole thing. (I know it’s hard to get complicated situations across on a message board, especially if you’re trying to be vague.)

Scarlett, I’m just going to be blunt and ask, and feel free to ignore if you want. Did you not go to your son’s wedding for some reason? Or is it a completely different issue?

My sister in law has 9 kids, so they are very used to it. 😊 I think there are plenty of people who look at us with our 4 kids and think we are a little nuts though. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks y’all! I’m so glad I can ask about pretty much anything on here and someone will know about it. 😊

No, it’s definitely not helpful! (At least almost never helpful.) It’s sort of like telling someone with anxiety to just “stop worrying.”

I went in for routine labs a couple weeks ago, and my dr let me know that she’s referring me to a rheumatologist. My appointment is not until November, and of course I goggled a bunch of stuff and now I’m a little worried, plus I’m just plain curious. So, here’s what’s up. My ANA was positive. My dsDNA antibodies was 36, which is well out of the normal range of 0-4. And my Sed rate was a little elevated (31). When I google the dsDNA, lupus is pretty much all that comes up. I don’t know much about lupus, but I don’t think I really fit the criteria? I have some fatigue, but I have 3 big kids that I homeschool and shuttle everywhere and an 18 month old who still co-sleeps and nurses at night. I do have some joint pain and tenderness, but it’s not all the time and it’s not debilitating. I could stand to lose 20 lbs, and I don’t take the best care of myself, but I don’t do a horrible job, either. So I have some reasons for the only two symptoms I have. I’m just adding all this information in, because I’m hoping someone will have some btdt advice or something.

Yeah, I’m curious to know what some of the questions were - that is, if you feel like sharing them.
