I've been reading the WTM boards almost daily for 20 years!
stephanier.1765 replied to Hannah's topic in The Chat Board
I think it's been 20ish years for me too and probably why I'm still here. This is the first place I go to decompress, to ask advice, and occasionally have some of my own to give. -
FAFSA and US Department of Education

I don't have any help to offer and I hope there is a logical explanation but I would be nervous too. Hopefully you can get it figured out quickly. -
Oh absolutely less body hair. I look as if I have no eyebrows left. Also fewer eyelashes, and while I also shave my legs every day, there wouldn't be much there if I didn't. It's only because I do have some sparse growth that I continue to shave. And while this is way too much information, there is less pubic hair as well. I can't believe I just wrote that on a public forum. LOL But at least if anyone else is experiencing the same thing, they'll know they aren't alone.

Yep, me too. Also liked your post in solidarity. I'm presently actively trying to lose weight so I'm loathe to get rid of the smaller size but my clothes I wear now are a tad too tight so I'm also loathe to buy any new ones. The only thing I've bought in the larger size is activewear but I usually buy activewear a size larger any way, so at least I have those to wear around the house for comfort.

Me too. All my life I've been pear shaped but these days I look pregnant if I don't wear a more fitted style that helps narrow that extra bulk. Now I consider myself potato shaped.

What's your grandma name?
stephanier.1765 replied to chocolate-chip chooky's topic in The Chat Board
I'm Gigi because my great grandmother was Gee Gee and she was the best. It feels like I'm honoring her. -
I've often thought there needs to be a "Getting Old for Dummies" book.

I need a sweat proof sunscreen for exercising out of doors and for yard work. I especially need recommendations for my face but it wouldn't hurt to get recommendations for the body, either. I'm already sweating so much that getting my clothes changed is a chore, so I'm desperate for something that can work through all that.

No fees or at our credit union either. We've been there for over 35 years and have always been pleased with their services.

Target for me also because she can browse and I find it easier to buy items I'm unfamiliar with when I can see and touch them.

For those to be the first words he said in answer to the question...well, it frankly made my heart overrun with joy.

What's your daily teeth cleaning / dental care routine?
stephanier.1765 replied to SKL's topic in The Chat Board
Except for the brand of toothpaste, this is me exactly. Every time I go for a cleaning, my hygienist says there wasn't much for her to do, so this routine is definitely working for me too. -
I'm not sure, but it will let me know whenever anything in my cart or my wishlist goes down in price. If I set a notification, it has been so long that my poor old brain can't remember. I'm getting the notifications through Alexa so maybe that's how it works. I'm terrible at this sort of thing. If I wanted Alexa to stop notifying me, I'd likely not be able to find it either. I'm so sorry I wasn't any help. 😞

I ordered it yesterday and, hopefully, it will be here today. Luckily, I had put it in my wishlist so I wouldn't forget which brand to try, so Amazon gave me a heads up when the price went down. I can't wait to try it.

I just finished Everything Sad is Untrue and is my favorite book so far this year. It's writing style is unique and it kept me fully engaged to where I didn't want to put it down. It's one of those books you think about even when you aren't reading it. It's free on Kindle Unlimited.

One of mine was helping herself to my oatmeal this morning. She will also steal a potato skin right off a plate and run away with it. Carnivores, bah!
-
That was fast! Weren't we just on baby watch with you yesterday? But my goodness, is that one handsome little dude! Truly sweetness on two tiny feet. My favorite age too.

That stinks. I can understand it from the company's point of view but, if the pain is supposed to last a lifetime, they shouldn't have anything to worry about. I'm glad you were able to get that one replacement, though.

I've been to the ER with stomach pain that turned out to be constipation. I had no idea before then just how painful constipation could be. I hope she is able to recover quickly. Poor little sweetie! ❤️

I was wondering if it was a cement vs grass thing too. I was also wearing an old pair of sneakers that I save to wear when I'm doing dirty work. I may try them out on a walk just to see how they do. It can't be any worse. LOL I've also wondered about the speed because I'm not just strolling along. I'm not speed walking but I am walking at a higher speed than I normally would. I've decided to wait on new shoes until I try all the various stretching and exercises just to see if they fix the problem instead. I'm excited to have a plan.

I'm thinking ER, as well. She's been sick and in pain for too long for anyone to come to a diagnosis without some sort of tests or imaging.

I haven't but you have me intrigued. The paddling with a ball and stretchy band sounds like something I'd really like to try. When I tried the stretches from above replies, I couldn't do them, but the ball and bands seem a really good alternative. Yesterday, I was trimming our palm trees. I spent hours on my feet walking, standing, bending, and stretching my arms over my head and never once did my back or hips hurt. It makes no sense that a 10 minute walk causes me pain but hours of yardwork doesn't.

Have you seen the article about the pregnant stingray?
stephanier.1765 replied to stephanier.1765's topic in The Chat Board
Yikes, its eyes, but so very cool! I love learning about things like this.
