  1. Lots of what my kids call lacs-bros there and Waterville isn't a beauty spot but you would have Mainer hive aunties to keep an eye out for him 🙂
  2. Dd is in her way home today too, right before a messy winter storm tomorrow. Yay!
  3. There is a Boardie daughter who is a famous Irish music performer.
  4. I did two back to back videos yesterday for a total of 50 minutes and it felt fine. Today it's cold and blowing a gale so I probably won't get outside, will do some more of the fitbymyk's.
  5. Tide also makes little pencils of stain remover.
  6. Did you dry it in a dryer? My experience is that stains washed but then dried won't come out. A colleague uses fels naphtha in desperate situations but it's toxic and I wouldn't use it for a stroller. My favorite non-toxic is boiling water and dish detergent, scrubbed really hard.
  7. Oh my, I will call them a skein, that is perfect. A plump fits too when they are all bunched up and haven't sorted out their formation. Thank you!
  8. Off-topic, but I love this and I'm stealing it right now forever 🙂
  9. This only happens for subsequent years, first-years are chosen by the school. Older dd at the same school had a perfect fit and they roomed together all four years! Ds never really saw his first year roomie, but they were reasonably compatible. A positive outcome of the roomie situation has been that dd has found a very quiet spot to study in the science library, which will be a good foundation to build on next year. She's also discovered that she can't focus with her shoes on, so she's learned to take them off when she studies or even taking tests. This is kind of hilarious to me, as I used to proclaim/exaggerate that my kids would shed their shoes on the day the snow melted and not put them back on again until the next winter's snow arrived, but apparently it's more true than I knew!
  10. Can we do a hit/miss for roommates? Mine really struck out, her roommate is kindly but a party girl and dd can't wait to not live with her. Her college has a kind of self-matching board where she has been approached by two different women who seem compatible and she is going to meet each of them.
  11. I did a three hour hike with 4 small summits. Today I will do two weights sessions and take another walk.
  12. My wallet with ID, credit cards, etc. - goes with me all the time, my purse usually only when I'm traveling. So I'll have travel-y stuff like books, notebooks, pens, a sewing project. I'm not very purse-conscious so I don't carry much I don't need right then, except for some odd talismanic stuff: I have a map of the college campus where dd went, I kept it in there for ds and now youngest who went to the same college. It's ripped and crinkled and I never actually use it but I'll keep it in there til the last one graduates. A birch twig that youngest gave me. A meaningful political pin. Along the floor of my purse: hair ties, coins, an eyebrow pencil, pine needles and dried flowers. I would say I'm a pockets-gal rather than a purse carrier.
  13. Congratulations - this is really interesting reading for this lay community member, thank you. Every right to be proud!
  14. I'm finally home after all my travels with some interesting results. I've done very little hard exercise for close to three weeks, started drinking a small amount of coffee, drank some wine, ate some wheat, stopped taking my supplements, and lo and behold my b/p is back up. Go figure! But this tells me my efforts really worked and now I will start again, and will know to never slack off. Crystal clear.
  15. I do, so much. I've been known to pull over on the highway and quick roll down my window to hear them. It's magical. Also love the V and love to think about how far they will fly together as a team.
  16. Dd will work at a take-out lunch place, nothing exciting but good money. She'll probably also do some landscaping and a few catering jobs. Cash is the goal! Plus having time to swim and hike.
  17. I would hit the double like button. Congratulations to you both!
  18. Yes, and I also would put strict parental controls on the phone. These days plenty of dangers are brought to us via the Internet.
  19. In my family of origin and my own kids we use Grandmother and Grandfather for maternal side and Grandma/Grandpa for paternal so I will be Grandmother. Can't wait!
  20. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/03/18/have-the-liberal-arts-gone-conservative I love your quotes.
  21. That is odd. Editing to say the RN was focused but also fully directing everyone else.
  22. Downloaded, thank you.
  23. It was Air Canada and they didn't have an ambu bag, just a tank and mask. The RN was doing super fast compressions with no puffs, just mask oxygen, which seems to prove the modern protocol of slipping in rescue breaths but focusing on compressions. That, plus probably lots of prayers...
  24. I hear that, thank you. I actually think she is a bit less traumatized than had she not participated. Having diabetes gives her a fair amount of worry about responders not knowing how to work with it. She wears a bracelet with insulin pump CGM and glucagon written on it. The patient today was not wearing a bracelet and his wife froze for a minute, so I hope he gets one now. Dd was quite disturbed by the movie Knives Out and the plot with someone getting an accidental overdose of otherwise benign medication., too close to home for an insulin-dependent diabetic. I once did CPR on someone who had had an aneurysm which we of course didn't know at the time but he was dead by the time he hit the floor. That was kinda horrible until the ER doc called me weeks later to tell me that it was an aneurysm.
