None of my young adult children are married/in a relationship that would lead to marriage, but I have put it in their ears that they are free to elope as long as my husband and I are invited as witnesses!

Our prices, in my low cost of living area, have never been that low, even pre-pandemic and inflation.

That sounds horrific! Hope you heal quickly.

I hope this works out for everyone involved!

I prefer a non-denominational church, but there aren't many in my area. We are at an independent Baptist church now that we like. I think the values that you want your church to have are not a product of the denomination so much as a product of the members, the leadership, and the church culture. I would probably start by checking out the church webpages and seeing what kinds of programs they put their energy into.

Personally, I wouldn't want to have grout to clean on the floor...

Do you have to eat breakfast? Maybe you could just IF past breakfast?

I'm right there with you!

Right, but at that point, Amazon knows you have dropped the item off to the carrier. If they don't receive the item, that is really the fault of the carrier.

This pre-print indicates about 55% effectiveness of Pfizer (37% for Moderna) against Omicron initially, but vaccine effectiveness wanes quickly over time. After 3 months or so, the effectiveness of the vaccine is negative? Pre-print about Vaccination Effectiveness against Omicron I hope this inserts correctly...

I have never had such a problem getting to a person as I had this time -- even the call I received was automated. However, I did as allisoncooks suggested and I got a live person to chat with -- though English was definitely not this person's first language

Thank you! I did this and she assured me that it was taken care of. I will keep an eye on my credit card to make sure...

Yeah, I need to be better about this. I just figured when I got the email that they had refunded my money that they must have gotten notification from UPS that I had physically handed over the item.

Not even in the customer service area? Just as if I were doing a search for an item?

After chatting with the automated chat person, I asked for a call and got...an automated phone call! Arrrgh.

I returned an item to Amazon a while back via UPS, and Amazon promptly refunded my money. However, I later got a message saying my credit card would be re-charged if the item wasn't received by January 13. Today, I got a message indicating that my credit card has been re-charged for the item since they didn't receive it. Wouldn't this be a problem between Amazon and UPS? Amazon must know I took the item in to UPS because they refunded my money. I am trying to contact Amazon's customer assistance but I can't seem to get past their automated system. I think I remember a thread about how to get a live person, but I don't remember the secret. Anyone know how to get resolution to my problem?

I love this recipe for low carb hamburger buns: https://www.wholesomeyum.com/keto-burger-buns-recipe/ I'll eat leftovers plain, too, or toast with butter, etc. I am a bread lover, so this makes me feel less deprived : ). There are tons of almond flour bread recipes that are good, but I seem to have developed a sensitivity to nuts; this recipe uses coconut flour.

I'm not a keto purist, but these are some of the recipes I like that seem to be keto compliant: Crack Chicken in the instapot: https://ketodietrecipe.com/instant-pot-crack-chicken/ I serve it over zoodles. There are quite a few variations of crack chicken if you want to search... I make Homewrecker type bowls from Moe's, using rotisserie chicken and subbing the rice with cauliflower rice. Keto Philly Cheese Steak Skillet Dinner https://www.eatingonadime.com/philly-cheese-steak-skillet-dinner/ I use leftover turkey ro rotisserie chicken to make Buffalo Chicken Dip and use celery to scoop it: https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/buffalo-chicken-dip.html This is a sheet pan dish that is easy to make: https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/easy-keto-jambalaya/ Fried Cabbage with Kielbasa, served with eggs on top Crack Slaw (calls for hamburger meat, but it doesn't have much texture variation, so I used slice round steak instead), also topped with eggs. Hmm, I can't find my recipe, but you can certainly find many similar ones.. I use zoodles instead of noodles and cauliflower rice in place of rice when applicable.

I wish I could just go into a thrift store and find pants that fit! I definitely have fit problems because I'm short, have a skinny waist, and I have what my brothers always called "weight lifter legs." I need "curvy fit" to fit my thighs : ). I do like the Kut from the Kloth Diana skinny jeans, but I can't usually justify that much $$ for jeans.

I wash and dry bedsheets and put them back on the beds -- no folding or storing tons of sheets. Each person has a drinking glass that will be used for a day or two before getting washed in the dishwasher. I have a basket for socks that come through the laundry unmatched until the other sock shows up. I buy multiple of the same style/color of socks so if one sock gets a hole in it, both socks don't need to be thrown away. This also makes it easier to match socks when doing laundry.

Uh, you do realize your reference is from Wikipedia. Also, to you use this person's school analogy, when you have the same subject (i.e. the jab), you are not learning anything new (you are not advancing from primary to secondary to post-secondary level of education), you are just learning (and perhaps mastering) that particular subject.
