  1. Thank you! I was getting a little tired of checking frequently. In my area, the seats do get filled up quickly, so I will start checking in May.
  2. Mine leaked a lot for months. I diagnosed it as a drain blockage of some kind and bought all kinds of drain openers and cleaners and removed the washer tubes and then dumped the cleaners for 8 hours at a time down the drain. Still no improvement. Finally I called a plumber and he snaked the entire main line and the drain line of the washer and it fixed the problem. We had some kind of buildup in our drainage pipes which narrowed the drain and the water backed up in the rinse cycle and overflowed. The blockage was 8 feet down the drain pipe. So, that is something to check to see, if your drain pipes are blocked or not.
  3. Does anyone know when the registration for August 2024 DSAT opens? I would like to register as soon as it opens because seats seem to fill up soon in my area. Thank you!
  4. Congratulations! I remember when you were teaching them latin as little kids!
  5. There is a museum in my area where visitors can help feed penguins (special pass needed maybe). That could be a good stand in. https://www.calacademy.org/events/programs/penguin-feeding-3
  6. You can make a single serving cupcake in a toaster oven or air fryer in that cast iron pot. Also use it to reheat small portions in the oven. you could also use it as a spoon rest while you cook.
  7. She sounds anxious and tired. How is her sleep schedule and is she having trouble balancing work and school? It could be that she is physically exhausted.
  8. I have a similar experience: I don't eat much in general, never eat any sugar and don't prefer fruits and eat them occasionally - but I can not lose weight due to insulin resistance. Which is why IF is the method that works for me amongst all the methods that I have tried - my body goes into fat burning mode only when sugar levels are depleted. I do a longer fast once a week (24 to 42 hours). I eat during a 5 hour window for the rest of the week, which is TMAD (two meals a day). I drink black coffee during my fasting periods, don't take any electrolytes as I don't find it necessary and don't modify my eating habits. I am at my goal weight and have maintained my weight loss using this method.
  9. This one: https://orgain.com/products/organic-simple-plant-protein-powder It is sweetened with coconut sugar. One of the Costco's near me (it carries a lot more organic products than the others around me) carries it in the Fall. I order it online the rest of the time.
  10. My DS got a 5 on chemistry and I taught it to him at home, so I am much relieved!
  11. There was a related recall yesterday for a bag of Whole Foods 365 frozen pineapple that I had bought a few months ago (they sent an email). We consumed it a couple of months ago and I am now trying to think of which of the listeria symptoms we might have had and not noticed!
  12. From what I read, the CEO refused to go through rigorous certification processes (I am not using the correct wording) and their key employee raised major issues regarding the safety of the submersible and was fired for leaking this information to the press. They have had public warnings by industry experts who were concerned about their lack of safe practices. And apparently this submersible has lost contact with the mother ship on previous missions as well, so this is not the first time.
  13. I got a ton of them during pregnancy and breastfeeding. the underlying cause for me was Insulin Resistance (gestational diabetes). I asked my primary care physician to get rid of them and she used liquid nitrogen to burn the larger ones off. For the smaller ones, I waited until I finished breastfeeding and cut a lot of the carbs in my diet and put Tea Tree oil with a qtip on them. They went away in 4-5 days. I get them again occasionally if I wear tight fitting clothes that chafe or wear jewelry that scratches. I use tea tree oil on them until they disappear. My friend who went on a keto diet told me that they fell off naturally after 4 months on keto.
  14. I remember reading a child nutrition article a long time ago and it mentioned that if you see any sugar derivatives/substitutes that ended with the letters “…ol”, to avoid it for kids. That being said, some vitamin and mineral supplements that I give my son contain xylitol which I am slowly replacing.
