  1. What a timely topic. My husband died 7 months ago today. He left on a business trip and passed away in his hotel room. I also had always thought my husband would outlive me. He was a runner, did at least 3 marathons a year, plus some 13.2s, ate a disciplined, healthy diet, exercised in addition to running. In short, he appeared to be on a much healthier track than me. In fact he ran a half marathon 9 days before he died. But, he died of an undiagnosed heart condition. I, of course, was so unprepared for his loss and life without him. Our youngest was a senior in high school. I can't agree more with those who have expressed living in the present, enjoying each other, not sweating the little stuff. And, of course, make sure you have wills, know where important papers are, and life insurance.
  2. My oldest dd needed slacks for her internship (different industry, dress code was casual, but no jeans.) Her go to slacks are the Sloan Slim Ankle Pant from Banana Republic or Banana Republic Outlet. She has them in a variety of colors/patterns. They are offered in Tall and have easy returns, as they are in the Old Navy family. My dd is able to dress them down or more professional. In fact, for her internship she tends to wear them with a tshirt and white vans. She even wears them to class sometimes. For her grad school interviews she dressed them up a bit. Perhaps your daughter could find a style of slacks that fit her style that allow for the very casual or somewhat dressier from one of the brands in the Old Navy family for the easy return policy.
  3. Quill, thank you so much for arranging the Christmas card exchange once again. The whole family enjoyed the cards last year, and I am looking forward to this year's exchange. My address is the same from last year.
  4. Wonderful! I'm in. It was so much fun to receive the cards and greetings.
  5. While I do not use England and UK interchangeably (or do the kids and dh) I hear it often both in media and in person quite a bit. If we hear it often in a short time span, it becomes a topic of conversation at our house --- why do people use it interchangeably, how do they not know it is not the same, etc.
  6. Praying for you and your family for a mild case and fast recovery.
  7. Thank you for the replies. My dd just shared this with me today. On one hand, it seems out of character for the district to condone anything sketchy, but otoh, this situation seems a bit odd. Will look into it further. I now understand why my dd has been complaining about the book; so many pages are too fuzzy to read as I looked through all of the scanned chapters that have been shared so far.
  8. So my youngest dd is at a public high school; she is remote this semester, but most students chose to attend in person. Discovered that one of her teachers is scanning a chapter at a time of an out of print textbook for the remote class to use as the only textbook for the class. (reason my dd shared this with me is that the scans are very fuzzy and she can't make out the text.) Somehow this seems like a copyright wrong, but maybe it is not. Maybe this makes a difference but the teacher won't share the title of the text book or isbn. If she would provide I would try to find a copy for my dd because some of the pages are just impossible to read, apparently not scanning well. I don't know if the school district provided this book to the teacher or if it is one of her own. The teacher is distributing the scans through the platform Canvas, which is password protected, but students can easily share it outside of Canvas. So, all of those more knowledgeable about copyright, is the teacher's sharing a text book this way an okay thing to do? (if it matters this is not a poor district and the high school has recently been ranked as one of the best in the state ... school provides computers to all students and all students have access to wifi ... and I certainly paid enough for book rental)
  9. My 5'4" 87 lb daughter wears XXS in Aerie underwear. I think their underwear does run small which makes it a great choice for my daughter. My other daughter, 5'1" 100 lb wears a small in their underwear. I too think I would try medium.
  10. My oldest ds was on Accutane his senior year in high school. It was a game changer for his acne. He did fine, no serious side effects. He did experience dry lips but was able to keep that under control with continuous use of lip balm. His doctor quizzed both him and me about any mood swings and other potential side effects every single visit. I was hesitant about ds going on the medicine, but it really did help him and he experienced none of the scary side effects. Five years later his skin still looks good.
  11. Bumping, in case it got missed. We are also looking at this flooring for a basement bedroom. Following any answers.
