  1. Ok thanks for this. I got that info second hand and had planned to double check it. My hubby just informed me that he is looking at other places.
  2. Last time we basically drove and hour across town to get 2+ minutes of totality. This time it looks like we will be driving 2 hours to Paducah, KY for 4+ minutes. I am hoping that Paducah will not be a hot spot for activity.
  3. I agree with Katy, sounds like a B12 issue. It could also be that she had previously had low B12 that caused damage and now her levels are normal but she has residual damage.
  4. My heart is breaking for you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. (((Ellen)))
  5. I have been wearing Ellen Tracey boxer briefs (from either Sam's or Costco) since I finished menopause almost ten years ago. They are super smooth and stretchy and they don't ride up. They are made out of some kind of microfiber. I would prefer cotton but these will do until I find some I like made out of cotton. The last time I bought bras I got the Body by VS in the full coverage and I have been pretty happy with those but I lost weight recently and need new bras and of course these are discontinued. Plus it is getting harder to manage bras that close in the back so I have been looking and some that close in the front.
  6. Actually I am not which is why it has taken me so long to figure this out.
  7. Thank goodness I don't even remember that. Between Buffy and Charmed I have spent enough time on make believe houses.
  8. What about stew? Is it soup and if not why not? What is the characteristic difference between them.
  9. Ditto. Sometimes I swear you must be my long lost twin.
  10. I watched the show at least ten times so I am very familiar with the layout if the second floor. My problem is how it sits on top of the first floor. I will take you through a few scenarios to show what I mean. When I first started watching I thought that the stairs were a single flight with no landings or turns. That would put Joyce's room immediately to the right at the top of the stairs placing it in the front right of the house over the dining room. This makes it impossible for Warren to shoot Tara through the window from the left side of the back yard. There are also several scenes and on-line sources that show a landing and at least a 90 turn on the stairs. If that is the case then it would swing Joyce's room to the back right corner of the house over the kitchen and small sitting room under the stairs. This would make Warren's shot problematic but not impossible. However that would move the bathroom windows to the side of the house and make it impossible for there to be any windows in the right front of the house as we can clearly see from outside shots. That only leaves the possibility that the stairs having a landing and then double back 180 degrees. This would place Joyce's room in the left rear of the house over the back part of the living room, then Dawn's room would be in the front left corner, Buffy's in the front right corner and the bathroom over the kitchen in the back right corner. I have seen floorplans on-line that show this as the plan and it does make the most sense. It would line up Warren's shot perfectly. However even that plan has a few kinks. There is an episode that shows Dawn crawling out her window (which are now in the front and left side of the house) and coming out in the back yard. Now it doesn't show the whole trip just leaving the window and landing in the back yard so she could have crawled along the roof towards the back of the house and jumped down in the backyard. But it also means that every time Buffy crawled out her window it was in the side window near the front of the house. There is a tree in front of that window and it is Sunnydale so maybe no one noticed her going in and out the window. Here is a picture of that orientation: https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=buffy+house+plan&fr=uh3_my_web_gs&type=2button&imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2Fc7%2F74%2F1d%2Fc7741de9f1578f94c1b4c76df9a07f2b.jpg#id=13&iurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2F736x%2F26%2F90%2F18%2F2690181ba34fdac5ec51a8077b204b9d--buffy-summers-season-.jpg&action=click This has been bothering me on and off for 20 years now. This is what I think of when I am awake at 3:00 AM. Please discuss. I also had the same problem with the Charmed house which would require a whole 'nother post like this but I did finally figure that one out.
  11. We have used a site called Jeeves but apparently they are only in FL.
  12. I think I would still be recognizable. Even if I was trying to do so on the down low I would eventually slip and someone would say, "Hey, that sounds like Kidshappen." I have successfully followed some people through name changes, others probably not and then there are some where I wonder if a poster used to be someone else or I know they were but I can't remember who. It's much harder for me if they change their avatar because I am a visual person although I can manage it if they have a particularly stronger presence like when Scarlett changed hers.
  13. Well, I am glad to hear that but still looked awfully dramatic.
  14. What about jambalaya and gumbo? Are they soup?
  15. My family knows to post should anything ever happen to me.
  16. I watched the video and I was absolutely shocked at how fast the whole thing came down. My only prior experience with a bridge collapse was the Sunshine Skyway in 1980. My father was in the Coast Guard at the time and we were stationed in Saint Petersburg. He was part of the rescue efforts and the stories he had to tell were not pleasant. We lived just a few blocks from a beach where we could see the bridge so I was able to see the aftermath for awhile after it happened. The Sunshine Skyway was a double bridge with two lanes going in each directions. In that accident, when the ship hit the bridge we only lost a partial span on one of the two spans. In describing it I would say that the ship bumped into the pylon and knocked out a portion of one span. So when watching the footage of Baltimore I was not expecting the entire bridge to fall down like that and especially so quickly. Like I said I was shocked but it still didn't have the emotional impact that the Skyway did. When I listened to the mayday again (especially knowing what happened) it brought me to tears. I have been back to the Skyway since they rebuilt and they left both ends of the span that fell and turned them into fishing piers which is kind of weird to see.
  17. I took one of my cats in for a regular vaccine and he through such a fit that the vet said don't bring him back again unless he is dying. So he didn't see a vet again until it was time to put him down when he was 19 years old.
  18. Buffy/Angel Firefly Dollhouse Fringe Bones Grey's Anatomy Law & Order : SVU Criminal Minds Friends 1883 Yellowstone Sherlock Supernatural Big Bang Vampire Diaries ETA: Outlander just of the top of my head
  19. I sometimes feel like I should have narcan available. I take an ER opioid pain med. I do a pretty good job of keeping meds secured but for instance I carry a dose in my purse and I have several small dgc that I could see rumaging in my purse if I ever forgot to secure it. Of course because it is ER I think we would have plenty of time to make it to medical care if this happened but I am on the fence about it.
  20. I have more TVs than people in my house. As a matter of fact, I may have more TVs than rooms and I didn't buy any of them. My house is where old TVs come to retire but not die. I don't think I have ever had to replace a dead TV.
  21. I've been here since 2002 so a little more than 20 years and I have been home schooling a bit longer than that although just in a consultant capacity with my dgc (all of which also home school) now. I have no other social media but I visit here almost every day. My children also ask what's happening on the board and if we ever have a question we can't answer the family consensus is consult the hive. The community here has supported me through births, deaths, severe illnesses (both my own and other family members), an unexpected financial crisis and my hubby's unexpected early retirement. I have at times had close bonds with board members going through the same things as me and I really miss some of the old timers who have long since gone. My screen saver on my computer rolls family pictures and every now and then a picture comes up of the square I sent for Scarlett's quilt. And I too am totally shocked to hear that Laura has a dd!
