There are a few songs with my name in it. Most are not in English because my name is from another language. My name also fits nicely into the Boston song mentioned upthread, so two different toxic young men connected that song to me. It is painful for me to listen to. It’s a beautiful song, too.

They didn’t watch the documentary too closely. The Hindenburg disaster was in the US.

My dad had a wood branding tool with his name on it. The kids all know his name so they know who made it now and as it is passed down, others will too. I would get labels with your real name on them and as they grow, they’ll know.

You are right. I hope you can diplomatically bring this to their attention.

Praying Chris. Any of those alone is a lot, all together it’s crushing.

Praying for Obama’s return.

That is adorable!!

Gastro symptoms can be allergy, too. It’s not just anaphylaxis.

So beautiful!!

Continuing to pray.

The second largest slave market in the colonies was in Manhattan. At one point, 20% of the population there were enslaved people. It closed in 1762.

Thank you for this.

Just seeing this and praying now.

It hit in my area in November and December. There was an 18 hour plus wait in the children’s hospital ER for a bit there. We knew a couple of kids who spent weeks in the hospital with it. It’s been a rough season.

Thank you!

Anytime we are on our deck, bees start flying around us. They aren’t there when we first go out, but within a few minutes, there will be a few flying close to us. We suspect that they have a hive under our deck. It’s a very low to the ground deck, so not easy to see under. As a test today I went outside and sat and watched and within 2 minutes a bee flew up and over the side of the deck. Since we don’t know what kind they are or even where they are for sure, we don’t even know where to start. I’d rather they be relocated than killed, so I don’t want to call a pest control company. I don’t know if bee removal/relocation companies will come identify them or not. Help!! We can’t use our deck until we take care of this. TIA!

It is definitely state dependent. In my state, if it’s over 6 months expired, you do have to take it again. It happened to a friend of mine.

Thank you for this. It’s so interesting!

Depending on the policy, if it didn’t damage the house, it may not be covered anyway. We had a tree fall, landed on the fence and the swing set and crushed part of both. It was just barely tall enough to nick a gutter and a bit of siding on the house. The removal and repairs to the fence and swing set were only covered because it had hit the house, too.

Continuing to pray for K and for your situation. This is all heavy and hard.

Praying.

I would call the office and ask them what they want you to do.

Just because it’s the culture of a particular sport or all sports doesn’t make it okay. I think we can all agree that cultures do sometimes need to change. Learning to emotionally regulate and communicate in healthy ways is not an outrageous ask of grown men. Over and over again last night the announcers talked about how cool under pressure Brock Purdy is/was. So, apparently, you can still play at a high level and not be unhinged.

My oldest just turned 36 and was eligible for 36 months of COBRA from my dh’s plan from his employer.

Praying for you and your family.
