  1. In-Home paid for itself within a month. I've to have had Amazon Prime forever. I'm all about saving time! And I usually save money as well...
  2. I've had Kroger and Walmart delivery for a while. I thought I'd try InHome since it's Walmart employees & they can't take tips. You pay more for the annual service but no longer tip on delivery. AND THEY DELIVER TO MY KITCHEN COUNTER. If you want, they'll even put the items in your fridge, but I prefer to do that myself. Walmart+ is $100/year. Add $40 for InHome. Totally worth it!!! What do you do to save time?
  3. Wine. You can get a decent bottle for under $25.
  4. Definitely not a Midwest thing... Probably happens everywhere, but is certainly not the culture of the midwest.
  5. What do you mean by Rotate Room?
  6. It varies... it all depends on what I find for someone or what their desires are. Usually some combo of both of those... But no cars... I'd hate to have someone choose a car for me without me test driving it 😉
  7. I don't think it's the admins... I think it's the district's legal department. Too afraid of expensive lawsuits if Susie gives Mary her otc med and Mary has a reaction to it or her parents find out & don't like it.
  8. Too many things to mention... I'm a decent baker but my husband is a much better cook than I am.
  9. One option would be to find a different job that you normally do for him to do, especially if he'd be more likely to do it. The only things we handwash are knives, Tervis cups, and pots/pans that are not non-stick.
  10. None of us... and we tested whenever we had so much as one symptom for quite a while.
  11. A Christmas tree decorated gnomes. Plus larger gnomes on the ground, at the base.i use a small, 4ft tree.
  12. I don't remove things very often, but I do add things. I'm not sure about this year yet, but I do remember buying a nice Santa in January. Last year, I added a gnome tree. That is in addition to the big family tree & the Red&White tree that goes in our bar/lounge area.
  13. When I last posted, I'd had mine done. Now dh and my sons have had there's. No one's had any major issues. Just achy arms.
  14. I can't stand the bulk from them. They make me look heavier, especially around the face.
  15. Mine as well. My grandmother had no idea where my grandfather was when the war ended. He went back to their town after the war and then started going from place to place where other relatives lived, searching for her. They eventually found each other, escaped East Germany & ended up in Pennsylvania. I'm fortunate that she wrote her story and my uncle made copies for all of us. It was required reading for my children when they were in high school. They both read their copies every once in a while. Most people don't have a clue!!!
  16. Bath & Body Works "Into the Night" moisturizing body wash. Followed with the matching moisturizer.
  17. Well, there is more to autism than poor social skills. This is the official criteria: The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) provides standardized criteria to help diagnose ASD. Diagnostic Criteria for 299.00 Autism Spectrum Disorder To meet diagnostic criteria for ASD according to DSM-5, a child must have persistent deficits in each of three areas of social communication and interaction (see A.1. through A.3. below) plus at least two of four types of restricted, repetitive behaviors (see B.1. through B.4. below). Persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts, as manifested by the following, currently or by history (examples are illustrative, not exhaustive; see text): Deficits in social-emotional reciprocity, ranging, for example, from abnormal social approach and failure of normal back-and-forth conversation; to reduced sharing of interests, emotions, or affect; to failure to initiate or respond to social interactions. Deficits in nonverbal communicative behaviors used for social interaction, ranging, for example, from poorly integrated verbal and nonverbal communication; to abnormalities in eye contact and body language or deficits in understanding and use of gestures; to a total lack of facial expressions and nonverbal communication. Deficits in developing, maintaining, and understanding relationships, ranging, for example, from difficulties adjusting behavior to suit various social contexts; to difficulties in sharing imaginative play or in making friends; to absence of interest in peers. Specify current severity: Severity is based on social communication impairments and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior. For either criterion, severity is described in 3 levels: Level 3 – requires very substantial support, Level 2 – Requires substantial support, and Level 1 – requires support..1 Restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities, as manifested by at least two of the following, currently or by history (examples are illustrative, not exhaustive; see text): Stereotyped or repetitive motor movements, use of objects, or speech (e.g., simple motor stereotypes, lining up toys or flipping objects, echolalia, idiosyncratic phrases). Insistence on sameness, inflexible adherence to routines, or ritualized patterns of verbal or nonverbal behavior (e.g., extreme distress at small changes, difficulties with transitions, rigid thinking patterns, greeting rituals, need to take same route or eat same food every day). Highly restricted, fixated interests that are abnormal in intensity or focus (e.g., strong attachment to or preoccupation with unusual objects, excessively circumscribed or perseverative interests). Hyper- or hyporeactivity to sensory input or unusual interest in sensory aspects of the environment (e.g. apparent indifference to pain/temperature, adverse response to specific sounds or textures, excessive smelling or touching of objects, visual fascination with lights or movement). Specify current severity: Severity is based on social communication impairments and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior. For either criterion, severity is described in 3 levels: Level 3 – requires very substantial support, Level 2 – Requires substantial support, and Level 1 – requires support..1 Symptoms must be present in the early developmental period (but may not become fully manifest until social demands exceed limited capacities, or may be masked by learned strategies in later life). Symptoms cause clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of current functioning. These disturbances are not better explained by intellectual disability (intellectual developmental disorder) or global developmental delay. Intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder frequently co-occur; to make comorbid diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability, social communication should be below that expected for general developmental level. Note: Individuals with a well-established DSM-IV diagnosis of autistic disorder, Asperger’s disorder, or pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified should be given the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. Individuals who have marked deficits in social communication, but whose symptoms do not otherwise meet criteria for autism spectrum disorder, should be evaluated for social (pragmatic) communication disorder.
  18. Mine is custom-made by the dentist.
  19. As a couple, we have retirement savings, mid-range savings, short-term savings, and several sinking savings funds (i.e. travel, taxes, life insurance, next car). I work 18-27 weeks/year for the local government. All of that goes for extra travel $ and housekeeping services. Travel is important to us. And I can't manage the cleaning during the months that I work. That's usually a 9-week period at a time.
  20. I had mine last week. No issues afterward, other than a sore arm.
  21. Congratulations! I'm assuming it's the one in the town I grew up in. I took some summer classes there many moons ago.
