  1. I have owned both. My Subaru forester was way better in the snow. My Honda was much more mechanically sound.
  2. I mentioned this to my daughter who just graduated with her BSN. She said she is not surprised by the professors stance. She said it was exactly the same with her nursing classes, students had to either change the interview time or take your chance missing class. She has several friends applying to medical school who have graduated and are now working. They are under the same stress, having to miss work to do an interview. One of her friends is scrambling to get someone to cover their work shifts so they can do interviews (three so far).
  3. We like www.minimalistbaker.com and www.skinnytaste.com
  4. My son has been getting infusions at infusion center for several years. I get a letter like you get plus an additional cover letter that says you are approved for X amount of infusions from April to October (for example).
  5. I’m a beeper. It doesn’t matter what I’m wearing or what kind of scanner, I beep. I had back surgery 20 years ago and I’m convinced that’s the reason. I wear leggings, shirt and slip on sneakers. I have been patted down, wand, have them feel inside waistband. I fly around in/out of huge airports and have never paid for pre check service. I always give myself enough time to account for long lines. I’ve flown twice this summer and overheard them say that every person with food in carry on will be stopped. They were even writing down persons name on a sheet.
  6. I returned a year old backpack and received same item back. Didnt they change their lifetime guarantee warranty?
  7. I’m 5’4 and went from 220 to 165. I’ve kept it off for 6 years. Exercise (swimming, walking, exercise videos), weight watchers and lots of determination.
  8. I’ve thought about what music to play (Frank Sinatra), what color everyone should wear (pink) but not the food. Definitely black/white cookies. Now I have to get menu planning! 😆
  9. Ithaca College has an automatic acceptance into their grad school program if you do speech as an undergrad.
  10. I paid $$$ to a lice place only for them to come back. Personally I don’t think they ever left!! Google using Cetaphil soap, Dump a bottle on your hair, comb through, leave on overnight, rinse, pick out dead nits, repeat in a couple of days. I did no extra washing, vacuuming, etc and they were gone forever.
  11. I would go for an x ray if possible. My dog ate two socks and they showed up on the X-ray. You couldn’t tell it was a sock but it was an obvious foreign object.
  12. I’m glad I’m not the only one who had to deal with craziness! I bought my previous house, show for walk through and nothing had been packed up. In fact, the sellers were annoyed with me. We had to move the closing up several hours. I go back for walk through and they had left several pieces of furniture covered in inches of dust. No. Then they dragged one dust covered piece of furniture down the carpeted stairs, leaving a huge mess. We landed putting money into escrow to cover the cleanup. Then for months they told a neighbor that I had stolen items from them. Ridiculous!!! When I sold that house the buyer was a royal pain, would look you in the eye and flat out lie. At closing her mortgage company delayed one day and the next day demanded she come up with $100,000 cash. Her response was she was going on vacation and she would deal with when she got back. Umm NO. I was so happy to be rid of that house!
  13. I'm flying cross country today. I hate flying. I'm excited because I'm going to my daughters college graduation. I just dread getting there. I read this last night- https://www.deseretnews.com/article/900070685/southwest-airlines-passenger-vodka-joke.html Several times a year now you hear about people getting kicked off flights for the most ridiculous of reasons (even parents with children). I think its just adding to my anxiety. I'm afraid to request a diet soda for fear I may offend the flight attendant 😉 Several years ago I was flying with my kids and had my new ipad with me. Flight attendant barked at me that I needed to put it in airplane mode. I turned to my daughter and asked her to do it for me. The flight attendant looked like she was going to blow a gasket. My daughter grabbed the Ipad and hurriedly did it. It was so uncalled for but thankfully I kept quiet. I probably took my first flight around 1969/1970. I miss those days. People actually got dressed up to fly! I even miss those foil covered meals they gave you ( I never ate them but I liked the tv dinner aspect about them) Tell me I'm not alone.
  14. I have an update! My son got hired as a math tutor at his college for the summer and during the school year! I am one proud mama!!!
  15. My daughter is 22 and was last in dance 18 years ago. Things have not changed!!! I could have written your post. Total insanity.
  16. My son is in college planning on being a high school history teacher. I’m not feeling so good about it. I’m in Colorado and a local middle school is currently on lockout after a reported threat. A Denver high school is closed today because someone called a hotline to report a threat. Thus has got to end. Time for some drastic measures to be taken.

  18. My son just got a job!!! His first job!!! He’s going to be working at his school bookstore. I’m so excited!!!
  19. It’s rental agent on site at building. Those fees are nothing compared to the rent! Update: She got lease with the wrong dates! My poor daughter is trying to finish college classes and deal with this at same time. She is weeks away from graduating with BSN and has not a minute to spare.
  20. My daughter went to see an apartment to live in after graduation. Paid application fee, paid credit check fee, passed everything. Told apartment is hers, they will send lease. They send form to pay rent. They send form to pay security deposit. No lease. Its been 3 weeks of her calling and calling. Rental agent keeps insisting she will email it to her. She leaves school in 3 weeks and won’t be back for 2,months when her job starts so she needs this resolved. Plus she has already paid $275 in fees she does not want to lose. Her last resort is to go in person on Saturday (but she needs to get buzzed in, they may not be there, etc) Any ideas we haven’t thought of?
  21. Lamb chops, steak, hamburgers Just say no. My mother cooked them (badly) several times a week.
  22. Final final update.........aka the thrilling conclusion The good news he is in his room and happy happy happy. It took some vacuuming and lots of sweeping but it is finally clean and he unpacked and is ecstatic. The bad news is that from 2-4:30 he was locked out of the dorm (technically) because someone deleted his student id number from his student id card and he could not access the elevator or stairs. So basically his stuff was in his room but he wasn't allowed in. Then he was allowed in, but I wasn't. And someone said we should wait several days for it to be fixed. Long story short I may have raised my voice slightly louder than normal, left repeated voicemails with 2 hall directors and 1 person working from home. All is well now, my blood pressure has returned to its normal low, I'm in zen mode and all is good. My son has loved hearing everyones comments about this incredibly strange journey. Thanks for listening!
  23. He’s finally out!!! i watched them deactivate his student id so I won’t worry he will return. Oddly enough I saw him in his car. I am happy for this to finally be over. Waiting for my son to get out of class to happily unpack car.
  24. Monday afternoon and the saga is not over yet!!! The kid squatting in the room is still there. He has less than an hour to vacate before campus police pack up his room. While I feel bad for this kid my son who is paying for his room I feel worse. I am sitting in dorm lobby waiting for the thrilling conclusion.
