I got my 2nd covid booster, Pfizer, with no side effects other than a mildly sore arm. Numbers are still low at the hospital I work at in SW WI.

Thank you

I'm an RN who works in a large hospital in WI. I've worked in the covid units for the past two years. Covid cases have gone up, but the percentage of hospital cases is very minimal. For the past month and now our hospital has had 0-5 covid patients at a time.

I liked these two books. https://www.amazon.com/Have-New-Teenager-by-Friday-audiobook/dp/B005Q7EQQG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2DK60CR1TWA4D&keywords=parenting+teens+books+kevin+lehman&qid=1651549705&sprefix=parenting+teens+books+kevin+lehman%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-3 https://www.christianbook.com/teens-time-tested-answers-moms-tweens/jill-savage/9780736914994/pd/914994?event=ESRCG

So sorry! Covid sucks!

He's adorable until he eats all your lettuce and carrots.

I always use Snapfish.

Lovely!

I recently came across this website of the 1950 census and its searchable. I found both sets of my grandparents with my parents as kids along with my in-laws. You just need the state, county and last name. It was very helpful. https://1950census.archives.gov/

I hope you all feel better soon.

I'm so sorry. That is so tragic. Praying for your dd and his family.

My mom died 27 years ago. My MIL died 7 years ago. I miss them both. My dh may buy me some flowers and I may get a card, but for the most part we don't do anything special. Sometimes we go out to eat at a restaurant.

I'm so sorry. Its ok to step away from someone who is so toxic as you describe your brother. Hugs!

So sorry! Its hard to lose a feathered friend.

Wow, that is crazy!

I live in MN. This Spring has been terrible. We have had many days in the past month with rain, snow, sleet, hail and temps in the 30s and 40s during the day and 20s at night. Its been gloomy! I too have only one kid left to homeschool. He is a senior and will graduate soon. He plays baseball on a local high school team and many of their games have been postponed and they have only had one full game this season so far! I think the weather is supposed to improve by this coming weekend in the 60s! Thats a heat wave here in MN!!

Great to have a low budget wedding, but no way would I ask my guests to pay for their own food. If you want a low budget just have cake and simple appetizers. My wedding was about $2,000 in 1991. My dress was only $125 from JCPenney outlet store. Our reception was at a rented park shelter with a simple catered lunch/dinner and cake. We had no dance and no alchohol. We told guests to bring a change of clothes as our reception was at a park. We set up a volleyball net, it was near a playground, also had basketball court nearby.

Even though Covid numbers may be climbing, hospitalizations are still low. Our hospital had a peak of 70+ hospitalized patients in a day, but right now we only have 1-5 hospitalized covid patients in a day.

I just want to add I follow the NYT covid map. It looks like NE US, CO and AL have higher numbers. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/us/covid-cases.html

This is very sad. Many Americans are proud, selfish, very independent and just think its not going to affect them. I have friends who don't care and live like covid doesn't exist. As a nurse who has taken care of covid patients these past two years, I'm afraid we will continue to have surges of covid and many more will die.

Hugs! I'm so sorry. May God comfort you and give you peace during this terrible loss.

Thank you!
