[Does anyone use paper boarding passes?]

We still prefer to print boarding passes and haven't had any issues.

Is that a specific practice/chain/location?  or just going to an orthopod and skipping the primary?

That's the name of a specific chain. So far we've visited for a knee and an ankle. They've always been able to see us quickly.

[Not on my to do list... UPDATE in first post]

We've had good luck with Direct Orthopedic Care.

[For those who read Murderbot . . .]

I’m waiting with anticipation and apprehension, but I’m fretting more about how they’re going to adapt books that rely so heavily on the character’s internal thoughts than about the gender of the actor.  

 

Same! I don't know how well it will translate to screen. 

 

Also, I've always read the character as male, but 🤷‍♀️ I think it's fascinating that everyone has a different opinion and reasoning behind how they picture Murderbot. 

[Shivaree (Chivari?)]

I remember a shivaree in Oklahoma!

[Quick and Hearty Soup Recipe?]

We do 7 can taco soup with black beans, kidney beans, chili/ranch beans, diced tomatoes, Rotel, corn, and cream corn plus taco seasoning. Easy-peasy!

I'm so sorry.

[Doctors are confusing sometimes]

Ouch! Hope you feel better soon!

Here's a picture of a baby robin right before it left the nest!

Oh, I'm sorry. Wasted pizza makes me sad.

I did manage to flip it back over minus the pepperoni and some cheese, but there is quite a mess on the bottom of the oven now!

Thanks for commiserating with me, everyone!

[Making a frozen pizza for dinner is not easier...]

...if you drop it upside down inside the oven. 🤦‍♀️

[The memorial service was yesterday]

So sorry for your loss. 

[I have an odor calamity. Help!! Chicken juice in car]

Yes, an enzyme cleaner. I think the one I used to clean up a rotten egg mess from couch was called kids & pets.

[Ever heard of the Mandala Effect?]

I'm 37 but I remember learning dilemna. I'm pretty sure it was on a UIL spelling list.

[Update - 7 year old daughter with OCD and anxiety doing well with Prozac and therapy]

I'm so glad she's doing better! ❤️❤️❤️

[Poor air quality WWYD]

My friend who loves near there just posted that it's like being in Mordor. 😧 I hope it clears up soon!

[Body Composition scales]

We have one made by Withings that I like. We got it through a work health benefit thing several years ago and I don't see the same model available anymore, but it still works great.

[We finally got all of the wedding pics]

What a beautiful wedding! Congrats! ❤️❤️❤️
