Heads up. Amazon has games on sale today. Debating getting Imploding Kittens and Bears vs Babies.

Please, please convince him to get a sleep study done. My husband snored intermittently like that and it turned out he had sleep apnea. I do, too! We both sleep much better now that we use a cpap. I went from being tired all the time to waking up rested and ready for the day.

Look up pineappling. It'll be harder with short hair but do-able. Silk pillows, silk head scarf, hair up. In morning, wet large toothed comb. If your hair gets oily daily it's because you are washing daily. Take a time you will be home a lot and go every other day or three. It will get gross before it gets better as your scalp adjusts to how much oil it needs to produce. I time my hair washing to days I need good hair and wear a scarf or hat on in between days until my scalp adjusts.

Yes, but you're selective about your attention. You probably subconsciously saw it but chose to ignore it. That's kinda how it was with me in the second video I posted. I noticed that there was a change but couldn't quite put my finger on what was different although I could specify what generally had changed, just not the details, if that makes sense?

The second video has some more info. Give it a try.

Oh this one is similar.

This is so fascinating to me. Thank you everyone for responding. I thought the something would have to do with the ones in the black shirts and was surprised by the gorilla so much, I lost count. LOL. I've been wondering if I'm ADHD. Makes ya go hmm,.

I just had my 13 yo watch it. She saw it to (she exclaimed when she saw it). I'm flabbergasted. So why would some see it and others not? What makes people more likely to see it?

Ok. So I saw the it. Did people really not see the it?

I'm making this blank so no one gives it away. Watch the video first.

Someone posted this video in another thread and I wanted to talk about it. Watch the video but don't read the comments until after as it will null the results. I'll make my comments in another post.

Thanks for all the ideas. We have done the photo shoot in the last two years. Big hit! I've done the food thing. My ILs liked it, my parents were ok with it. I love the gift card true but unfortunately I can't afford something like that. Please keep the ideas coming. After over twenty years of giving them gifts, I'm all out of ideas. Doesn't help we are just not as close as we used to be for a variety of reasons.

I looked around and didn't see this topic started so here goes... What are you getting your parent/parents for the holidays? I need gift ideas for my parents and I'm out of ideas.

Could it be something like a popcorn kernel?

Don't be that leader that shames girls into wearing "appropriate" clothes. Girls are changing so much right now and they are trying on different "skins". If you (or the other leader) say something, it could destroy what could be a very fragile time for her self-esteem. The clothes you wear aren't who you are. There could be a number of reasons she wore what she wore from "oops it fit a week ago" to "I'm pushing boundaries to get a reaction". She could have been coming from something else and it was either go in what she was wearing or not go at all and she chose to go. It's possible she was already uncomfortable with what she was wearing but she had little choice for whatever reason (she forgot to do laundry). If she was supposed to be getting muddy, I'm sure she's already learned a lesson to be more careful with what she wears. Natural consequence, right?

Thanks! So, I received an email from HelloFresh that my food was on its way. I should receive it Wednesday.

Boysdancetoo. Check them out! For everyday stuff Discount Dance, All About Dance, Dancewear Solutions. Our boys wear black shorts and plain white tees.

Order in for Blue Apron and Hello Frsh. Can't wait to try them next week. Plated sounds great, too. I'll have to check Kroger for their meal kits. I hadn't seen them but there is one just blocks from me so that may be a good option depending on what they have. Thanks !

Thank you for all the great info! This really helps. Night Elf, I'd love the coupon. Thank you! I think I might try a few of these and see how it goes. Anyone tried Sun Basket?

Thanks! I'm hoping the prepped food will be a short term thing for us and we get into better habits and learn some skills. This might be a nice next step!

I'm sure this has been talked about in the past but I could not find anything... Anyone tried prepped food delivery services like Blue Apron and Hello Fresh? Any others out there? What did you like/not like? I need to get our food intake under control in our house but our busy schedule, and my lack of food skills, is making things hard. Would love any input. Thx

Special coloring book (my daughter loved her Harry Potter themed one) with good colored pencils or gel pens. An Echo dot and subscription to audible (last year they had a special three month free trial). One of those bed pillows for sitting up in bed with a bed desk (hard surface, soft underside) and blanket. A bean bag chair, blanket, and one of those electronic bookmarks that you can keep time and has a light. A kindle with some books preloaded. A journal. There are tons of options from your basic diary, to mom and me, to prompt journals, to art. A gift card to her favorite store. My girl's is Hot Topic.

If "identity" were the criteria for determining what country you were, we would have some huge problems worldwide, especially around Eastern Europe, Africa, and Texas. Having lived in Texas, I can vouch it is its own country. 😂 Puerto Rico is a part of the US. They are Americans. They have US passports and we can all move freely amongst the states and territories. Do you really think we would issue US passports to a non-citizen? Also, if they move to a state, and live here for a time, they can legally vote in the US elections. They don't have to become citizens, because they are already a citizen of the US. I don't understand how this is a difficult concept to understand. :shrug:

Wabi Sabi, if the Bio-father is into genealogy, it may be he's trying to find him. It's important to know your bio family's medical history and it's important to know who you are not biologically related to so you don't confuse your medical issues with someone else's line.

I'm sorry for your loss.
