My dad had a pager/beeper in maybe 1982/3?. He wore it on his belt in a holster or clip. I don't remember exactly; I was 9ish at the time but I do remember him getting beeps and needing to go into the office at a weird time and sometimes I was allowed to accompany him and got to pretend I was in charge of the empty office. 😊

This whole 'taxing' large-chested women by charging so much more for larger cup sizes is simply unjust. Like we can help what size we're given. Or for many of us, go without.
Ridiculous!

I'm DDD on my smallest day. I can't leave the bedroom without wearing a bra for fear I would trip on them. Of COURSE i have to wear a bra every day and it costs 70+ dollars per bra. How could carrying around several pounds on one's chest NOT be uncomfortable? Sorry. It's something I curse every day

My main goal for this month is to not buy any craft supplies!! Second goal is to work through the stack of pen-pal letters I need to respond to.
Last day of the month and I haven't purchased any craft supplies! Not gonna lie, though, my virtual cart on AliExpress is overflowing, but that's just window (screen?) shopping. I wrote a bunch of letters as well. February is InCoWriMo so I will be writing a letter every day, ostensibly, but my honest goal is to beat last year's tally of a dozen.

Rachel, I’d love to see some pics of your stamp carving art!
I would as well! I'm very into mixed-media collage, stamping, and mail art!

It has been probably years since I've posted anything here even though I read almost every day, but I am trying to be more social for 2020. Even if online! Everything I cook has to be vegan and gluten-free, so I cook a LOT!. Tonight was sesame noodles w/ tofu & veg. Tomorrow is, hopefully, BBQ bean "meatballs," mashed potatoes, roasted broccoli, and a basic salad.
Oh, and dessert tonight (don't usually do dessert, but it's holidays still) is apple pie that smells AMAZING while it's cooking. I don't eat sweets, but the scent is intoxicating; I think they will love it!

I live in a suburb of DFW (Plano) and have NEVER seen a stray dog or cat. In fact, I have never, in the 16 years we have lived here, seen ANY cat. Dogs, yes, but only on leashes.

Are you thinking of a syllogism?

I was diagnosed as an adult and had to see a psychiatrist for the evaluation. After about four months of seeing her for med check-ups (first weekly, then twice a month) I was able to then see my family doctor for meds. A psychologist can diagnose but can't write prescriptions.

The 14yo is using Brainology for an outside class and it is pretty cool. Nothing else to say, just that it seems like it has a lot of interesting ideas/views after answering the questions

And now I totally want to go to Sephora. I wish Ulta did something like that...I have one of those much closer to me.
Ulta does! I went a few weeks ago looking for something similar and the tech must have spent at least a half hour on my face, trying out various products.

My son has long (longer than your daughter) wavy hair. He will be 14 next week and I just recently realized how he gets such tangles. When he brushed it, or combed when wet, he wasn't completing the pull-through of the implement. So his brush/comb would be *almost* out of his hair, then he would bring it back up to his scalp and do it again. Eventually there were knots that could NOT (see what I did there? :laugh: ) be undone so I ended up cutting some out. Could this be happening with your daughter?
I have curly hair, and so would my son if he treated it like curly hair; I can attest that using the Curly Girl treatment really does make a huge difference.

I have a Cuisinart (Classic 7 cup white base) that I've used extensively since 1998. I would have to look up the specs to be sure (I can; I kept the manual). This thing has been indestructible . I have never had a problem with it: easy to use, easy to clean, reliable, lasts. It has three blades: the "S" blade, the shredding blade and the slicing blade. I use it weekly for salsa, hummus and "refried" beans.
Same here. I think mine has a larger capacity, though I'm not sure exactly how much. I have used it 3-4x a week for at least 15 years and it is still going strong.

That's really weird that it didn't work for you. Every single text I get from anyone with any type of phone comes to imessage on all my devices, even if they're not already in my contacts. Maybe a quick trip to the genius bar?

Okay, I found it. On your ipad, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive. Click where it says Add Another Email then put in your phone number. I think that should fix it. But if not, check out this page, it might be a better help: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201349

I get all my texts on my ipad, iphone, and mac computer. You have to have your phone number associated with your apple id, then when a text comes to that number it will show up wherever you are logged in with your apple id.

Yes, a colonoscopy is needed to diagnose Crohn's. I am also on the side of getting a new GI. Those are serious symptoms and it sounds like the doctor is not taking it seriously.

It sounds remarkably like what my daughter went through before she was diagnosed with Crohn's. Was there a colonoscopy/endoscopy performed?

Greenvneck- Aren't you worried your cell will overheat under a pillow? Electronics are heat sensitive.
It never feels hot when I check it in the morning. Maybe I will move it to my nightstand.

When I am in bed my phone is under my pillow, on silent. It is also on the "do not disturb" mode except for my kids, dh, and bff. If I wake in the middle of the night and realize I need to send a text, rather than an email, to a friend, I don't hesitate to do it, assuming that they have either silenced the phone or don't hear/care if it makes a text ping. Most mornings I wake up to 2-10 texts that I have received while I was sleeping...and never heard/noticed while my phone was under my pillow.

I have one and I hate it. Mine is 15 years old and doesn't have the drying option, so I'm always worried there is mold in the jets. If I were to move, I would choose not to have a jetted tub.

Oh, this is brilliant if it's really possible to buy from Canada. Our cost savings would literally pay for a vacation there. Might have to look into what kind of hoops are required to order online from a Canadian pharmacy. Has anyone ever done that?
Not epi-pens, but my daughter orders a medicine from Canada bc it would be $600+ for a 30-day supply here. With insurance. I think she pays around $200 for 100 pills from Canada. The doctor who told her about ordering from Canada said to make sure she checked to see where the medicine was manufactured; if it came from India (maybe anywhere in Asia?) to not order it because there are often fillers used in those pills.

Could you help my daughter?

I tried to answer, but "minor" and "medical decisions" are too broad. I wish there had been a multiple-choice option for questions. What I might answer for 8yo is different from what I might respond for a 17yo.
