  1. The wedding was in Florida (where they live while he has been doing his neurology residency) and it was outdoors, not on the beach but right across a path from the beach. Beautiful setting.
  2. I will delete soon for privacy. But I know I always enjoy seeing pics of your formerly homeschooled kids getting married. So here is my second son and his new bride.
  3. Interesting. You’re right. I never ask things like this on facebook. I’ll give it a try.
  4. I love Wegmans too. Started going there only for the produce, but now I shop there for everything. Store is always clean. Some are fancier than others. Once in cities tend to be pretty ordinary, but I’ve been in some that have a European feel, or a second floor eating area, or a piano player on Saturdays. My son lived in Florida for five years and the Publix wasn’t too bad, but the produce was a constant disappointment at Publix.
  5. I don’t know of any local shoe stores in my small city. I’ll keep my ears open though.
  6. I have gotten to the point where I feel like I need to start investing in good shoes. I have pretty much stopped wearing heels to work, but even just wearing flats I find my feet are sore at the end of the day. And I’m not on my feet a lot! I do NOT have wide feet. I think that the flats I’ve been wearing have NO support though. Is there such a thing as stylish flats with good arch support and cushiony inside? Links appreciated.
  7. My niece’s baby shower is tomorrow. With her gift I am giving Jamberry.
  8. I was just at a dental continuing ed course last week and the pediatric dentist also mentioned how awful gummy vitamins are for teeth. Gummy food of all kinds are the absolute worst for your teeth. Even brushing immediately afterwards isn’t enough. Maybe cheese, an apple, AND brushing.
  9. Wow, I had no idea it was getting so rare. I guess I should be glad I just redeemed the last of them.
  10. Interesting. Do you have an account at any of those banks? I would think a bank would only provide the service for an account holder.
  11. Yes, I wouldn’t think it would be an easy process for you with POA. I was thinking more of the people here who are just sitting on matured bonds.
  12. Just choose one or the other. If this is not something you expect to be doing often, and you feel short on time, just pick either Uber OR Lyft. I've only ever used Uber, but I imagine Lyft is similar. After the ride is over, they will ask if you want to tip the drive (Yes, you do). They will also ask you to rate your experience (they will rate how good a passenger you are also).
  13. This is interesting to me. I’ve had many many bonds over the years. I just redeemed our very last one a few months ago. I’ve always just gone to the bank. No problem. So, I’m over here shaking my head about all the people who don’t redeem them when they mature. But now I understand a little better…if my bank didn’t do it, I wouldn’t know how to redeem them either!
  14. Gardenmom, if I recall, you will want to download the app before your trip. You will probably need to create an account, or st the very least, enter your credit card information into the app. Don’t wait until you’re at the airport. I’m only saying this because you said you needed step by step instructions. Once you download the app, it’s not difficult but it might take a little bit of time.
  15. I just did it a few months ago at my local bank. But I understand that people don’t always have a local bank any more.
  16. Here’s one more pic after I had pinned two sides. You can see how out of square it really was.
  17. I’m tickled pink with the results of my quilt blocking. It is laying so much flatter! The first three pics are BEFORE. Last three pics are AFTER.
  18. You take them to the bank and tell the cashier that you want to redeem them. Very simple process. Plus, if you use them for education, I believe there is some kind of tax break.
  19. Yes, it says I have no license. I’m convinced having a work account that I access from home has messed things up. I have tried to sign into my own personal Microsoft account (I know I have one cuz I wrote down the email address and password), but it refuses to let me sign into it. Only wants me to use my work email.
  20. Greya question. I didn’t think of that. It opens just fine. But I can’t edit them! Oh no! And it has that yellow bar across the too that doesn’t say anything.
  21. I'm also interested in trying Armoire because it's rental rather than buying. Anyone have experience with that one?
  22. Oh my gosh, I haven't been leaving guest soap for my guests ever! I didn't know I was supposed to! Egads.
  23. I've tried Stitch Fix a couple of times. Usually, they're pretty good in the beginning. But then it gets worse and worse (or too similar to the previous item that I said I liked). So I end up canceling it. Interested in trying something new.
  24. This must have been discussed somewhere here. If so, just point me in the right direction please. I’m looking for recommendations for one of those subscription clothes places. Mostly for work stuff. Anyone have any preferences?
  25. No I have not updated ios recently. It wants me to, but that always seems to cause problems so I’m ignoring that. I will go check the links now. Thanks
