  1. I can’t tell you how many pairs of Hey Dude’s I have purchased but we will say many! They run pretty true to size. If you order from Hey Dude, they’re great with returns if the shoes don’t fit right.
  2. My husband got sick mid January. His symptoms mimicked his normal wintertime congestion and cough for the first couple of days but then he started having chills, fever, and body aches. When his oxygen levels became unstable, my son took him to the ER where they tested him, pronounced him positive then sent him home. Two days later in a follow up with his primary doc, he was sent straight to the hospital where he was diagnosed with Covid pneumonia. He was hospitalized in our local hospital for 4 days but when he couldn’t be sustained on nasal cannula at 60% oxygen, he was transferred to ICU in a different hospital. Two days later, I was hospitalized with very different symptoms. I had slept for an entire day...I was just exhausted. No high fever, no cough, just a sore throat and an occasional headache. I wouldn’t have even thought to seek treatment but by this time, my husband had been put on a ventilator and I knew I needed to make sure I didn’t head down the same path that my husband was on. I also had Covid pneumonia and found out that I was much sicker than I realized. A few days later, our 22 year old also tested positive but he never had any symptoms. Anyway, I was discharged from the hospital on oxygen and 2 days later, my precious husband died of Covid pneumonia. He was 71 but had no underlying conditions except for being slightly overweight. Three months later, I am still dealing with the physical affects of covid. I am in physical therapy twice a week to try to regain lost muscle and strength. I was on oxygen for about 6 weeks. Because of our job, we had teenage boys in our home..two of them also tested positive but had very mild symptoms like a mild cold and were both fine in a few days. Hope my rambling does something for your data😊
  3. My college senior spent his last week preparing for his dad’s funeral. We hate COVID here. My husband was diagnosed on what would have been the first day of the spring semester so quarantine, then I went into the hospital, then my husband died. At first I kept thinking how unfair this is to my son but I’ve come to realize that he has probably gotten more “education” in the last couple of weeks than he would have otherwise. But yes, these kids are getting the short end of many sticks!
  4. We had a 17 yo when our surprise baby came old. DH will be 68 when our now 15 year old graduates from high school. There was some stress for my DH about retirement (or lack of) when he first got the news of the baby but he quickly recovered and neither of us can imagine life without the boy! Congrats and enjoy!
  5. I'm 57 and my husband is 63. We have a 14 year old ds. We do things we probably wouldn't be doing if we didn't have a teenager! He is very mature for his age and has always been an easy kid. If I'd had his brother (32) later in life, I might think differently on this subject but as it is, I wouldn't change a thing! Well, there is one thing that bothers me: in our case anyway, people assume he was an accident. I gladly tell them that we knew perfectly well what we were doing when he was conceived! Congrats on the new baby. Relax and enjoy! Cheri
  6. So, so sorry. My ds had a beloved horse with a broken foreleg put down in April. We still are missing that great horse! Prayers for your dd and everyone else that loves that horse! Cheri
  7. Lurker here but we are horse people. My ds 14 has a 2 year old he's just started working with. He lost his horse he had been riding for years in April due to injuries from being caught in a cattle guard. We work and live at a boys ranch were all the boys have horses to ride. The major focus here is team roping but we also work with the boys on their horsemanship skills. The boys really bond with their horses! Cheri
