keep us posted!! I am enjoying your adventure 🙂

Congratulations!! this is huge!

anecdotal, I know, my my 20 something daughter did not get the vaccine, but she didn't know that her desk-mate at work did, and the day she went back to work with him there, she became sick. She started her period 3 days after contact with him/getting sick and she is on contraception that keeps her from having a period. She read that women who are getting the vaccine are having cycle problems and was concerned.

Heart, I'm glad you got to go in and get your insoles. I'm going to try to pm you....

Husband and I just ordered MOD e-bikes. They are on backorder till Mid-May, we are really excited. We are a few blocks from an old-town area, we walk there almost daily, but would like the option of using the bikes, and my 12 year old labradoodle is too old to walk there and back- I'm going to order a trailer for my bike, so I can bring her along to our daily jaunts.

so good to hear from you, Lion! Your new job sounds like good potential. Sending good vibes, hugs and prayers that everything will turn out as it should for you. Leave fish in an unplugged appliance when you leave...(my mom did that, I still laugh when I think of it)

we just were gifted a box of chocolate/ caramel apples, and they were wonderful! I kept the info so I could order for others. mrsprindables.com

I love this! My car doesn't have a cig lighter spot, tho!!

we have a labradoodle, she is the best dog I've ever had. She has always been very calm, as a puppy I worried a few times she might be sick, she was so chill. Great dogs!!

Praying for Ri and all of you ❤️

Hi Julie, it's good to see you again! I'm an oldtimer too, my last just graduated this summer, but she was at a charter school for high school, I have been retired from homeschooling for several- like 5? years now. I will go check out your fb page, maybe I can visit your restaurant some day 🙂

yes, knew what it is, have used it in conversation. I live in So. Ca in a large latino immigrant area.

the job sounds like a nice fit! Sending good thoughts your way, and Happy Birthday!!!! 🥰🎈

my husband was for many years, he really enjoyed it. He only quit because it was an all day commitment and also they started putting him in charge of the location and being in charge was stressful. He really had fun, when not in charge!

I am listening to Harley Merlin series right now, it's pretty good, teen/young adult centered, about Magics. Clean, kind of Harry Potterish. Interesting characters, more than one point of view starting in book 2, I'm on book 3 right now. I am also enjoying Breakthrough - think Tom Clancy adventure but with more interesting personable characters that you grow to care for, a bit of romance, but clean, no scenes, dolphins!!! and a small bit of alien life. You get the Tom Clancy -special forces/ tough guy & intrigue, but also science, space mystery and some romance. It's clean, but there might be some cuss words. I think I'm on book 4 of that series. I think there is cussing, but not a lot, not enough that it bothered me. Artemis Fowl series of course! A middle school target audience I think, but my husband loved listening to these, the narrator is incredible!! The movie is about to come out, too. We listened to these on vacation trips as a family. My youngest daughter and I listened to the Raven boys series together and really enjoyed it. It's probably aimed at teens and a bit more edgy, I think the teens might cuss a lot-enough to not want to listen with young kids in the car, but it's clean romance-wise. It's got fantasy, magic, dark magic, dreams, mystery and characters you love, some old english mythology, Latin!

that is really encouraging to know you had this experience! Yay for the Hive!

thanks Katy, that was helpful 🙂

Katy, you mentioned eating Greek yogurt with potato starch at first, to help it take root...what form of potato starch? like, some baked potato, or is it an ingredient or spice somewhere? I am thinking of ordering this for my son-in-law, he's having bowel/ food problems.

Peter Pan: here is the gene info from 23&me....hopefully I can attach the photo ...ok that didn't work, I'll try to insert it Your genotype at one tested marker 23andMe researchers identified one genetic marker associated with feeling rage at the sound of other people chewing. This genetic marker is located near the TENM2 gene which is involved in brain development. Your genetic variants at this marker are associated with slightly higher odds of having this trait. MARKER TESTED YOUR GENOTYPE rs2937573 GG Result: Higher odds of hating chewing sounds

my youngest child has this. For treatment, we saw a couselor, we tried a hypnotist, had her read a book on it and then finally when she was about 17, they put her on medication. Hers is tied to anxiety, and anxiety seems to run in my family (one of my kids has a phobia of buttons!-which is tied to anxiety) the medication helped imenseley. She was also having some panic attacks at school, this was the main reason for the medication, but she said it has helped the misophonia. She still doesn't like to be in the room with people eating chips, and for some meals I will make sure to have music playing on the table. Before the medication, I had to always have music playing during meals. She also listens at night (sometimes) to some kind of adverse sounds stuff she found on youtube...people chewing, other irriating sounds. A very interesting thing happened right after we saw the hypnotherispist and was trying to get her help for this...I got a report on 23 & Me, where I am doing a depression study- and a random new report popped up one night saying with my genetics, I was more likely to have misophonia. I do not, but seeing it in my genes helped my daughter feel more like it is not her fault, that is is something in her makeup. edited to add: we cannot chew gum around her. also, when she finally started speaking up, and we were realizing it was a "thing" for her, she was often end up in explosive rage which then triggered crying.

I too, was oddly excited to see this post!! 😆 I think with the Putin look-alike, that clearly the monolith must be a communication method of some sorts. (putting on my tin-foil hat here...) thank you for reporting in, this made my day!

Thank you!!! my dad is having trouble staying asleep, I'm going to suggest this to him.

Beach gal, where do you get your glycine from? What is it called? I just tried looking on amazon and it was confusing.

I've had diagnosed Raynaud's for years now, and I seem to injure my hands more and more easily, and yeah, I get weird bruises and stuff on them. 😞 welcome to the club, it hasn't been bad for me, just a nuisance mostly. My dh handles anything involving the freezer or frozen foods.

I had chicken pox twice, the first time as a toddler- it was mild, I'm told and then again when I was 9. I do not plan on getting the vaccine, and I have been around 2 people who had shingles, but I haven't caught it. My oldest dd had the vaccine as a baby, the others did not.
