I'm the opposite. Used to be thinner and now....not....LOL! But the difference in how I'm treated now is incredibly different to how I was treated then. It's shocking and definitely a thing. OP, I'm so sorry that you're having to go through this. You're not wrong and it's a hill I'd be willing to die on.

He was known as Alf Wight. My parents met him once and said he was a lovely man. I'm from near to where they filmed the series/the real town he was from (Thirsk) and my Grandparents lived in the Dales. Watching it really makes me homesick! I think this also. Hopefully we'll find out more in the next season!

By taking him out do you mean walking him? If so then 3 walks a day is a lot for an old dog. If he seems to get along well with it then I think that's some great time spent with him but just watch his joints and movement to make sure he's not hurting.

I really like Boden, you should look at their online store!

Whaaaaaaat!?! What airline was this? DH's parents were missionaries overseas for 40 years and they didn't get this treatment! They must have been flying the wrong airline!!! DH is a pilot for the airlines so I've flown a lot in all areas of the plane. Of course First or Business are my favorite and I'd definitely consider paying a little bit to upgrade if we bought tickets (but not full price). To be honest I have a hard time paying at all for tickets since we have free standby flights (Internationally we pay but a VERY low rate). 😬 We've taken full advantage of that in years past but Covid, obviously, put a damper on things. I can't wait to get up in the air again!

Thanks for the Quordle and Absurdle recommendations. I've added those to my daily play! It took me 4 for Wordle today because I kept on guessing an incorrect letter. 🙄 Nerdle in 3 and Mini Nerdle in 2!

I took Biology of Human Sexuality in college and we didn't have to write about any personal experiences in any of the assignments we did.

See, my opinion is the opposite. I thought the Rock's intro was too forced and the opposite of entertaining and I thought the halftime show was awesome! LOL!

We're 9ers fans so we were pulling for the Bengals. LOL! I really enjoyed the halftime show. Almost threw my back out dancing to it. 😂

I can't read the article (it just links to a list of other articles) but it's such a farce. I normally love the Olympics but this is the final straw for me, I think.

The mini nerdle has been relatively easy for me to figure out each day. Todays regular nerdle took me until the last row (but I DID get it!) I'm enjoying giving my brain a workout each morning.

I like this a lot. My goal with wordle is to get it within the fewest tries. My goal with this is just to get it period. HA HA. Thanks for posting it as I had no idea it was out there!

It's a full work up so I'm sure he will. Thank you so much for this warning!!!

Do you have a salmon patty recipe? I'm sorry if you already posted it, I didn't see it! I have salmon and I'd love to make a patty to go on top of a salad this week.

I love reading what everyone's eating so thank you for posting that, especially the veggie options! I'm on day 26 of Intermittent Fasting and doing well. I've lost 13 pounds (I have a lot to lose) and more importantly my energy is through the roof. Have an appointment with my doctor to get a baseline physical on the 1st. It won't show a correct baseline as I'll have been doing this for a month already and I'm sure there are some changes that are happening, but it's when my doctor could get me in since I'm not sick. I've been focusing on clean fasting and February is my month to focus on clean eating. Thankfully I love any and all vegetables and so hopefully it'll go well!

Can you record your weight each day in an app and over time it should show a downward shift. That might be helpful for you to see after a few weeks of data. I have found my weight to fluctuate a lot during the week and so I weigh each day and record it. I was going to weigh once a week but I noticed my weight each week was crazy fluctuating and so doing each day and seeing a downward trend is better for me.

I started it then DH took a new job and we had to trim our expenses (I did the month-month). I had a hard time/got annoyed by Dallas' talking through the first few videos/weeks. I do love everything else about it, though! I'm focusing on my nutrition right now but want to add in more exercise later in the year. Hopefully we'll be in a better place financially and I can add it in. Your progress is inspiring!!!

Yeah, this is probably an expected response to that statement. I don't read anything into it, just a comment on why the dog might be barking at him. You can't make hints with this family an expect them to pick up on them. Even if they do then they can pretend that they don't know what you're getting at. Being up front and clear about your boundaries is the only way to go from here. That's an awful situation that they've put you in. I'm sorry. I'd be seriously re-evaluating the friendship when/if they get back and get their dog.

congratulations, he's pregnant! Just kidding, though I'm sorry to say that I do see a line. Looks like he's positive. 😕

I got Covid back last year in February. Severe body aches, fever, malaise/tiredness, hard time concentrating (ie: could watch TV but reading was hard), loss of smell/taste (for only a month thankfully!) #1 Vaccination June: Sore arm, slight tiredness #2 Vaccination July: No symptoms not even sore arm Not sure if that's helpful or any indicator. Are you asking about if you're vaccinated first whether your symptoms would be similar if you get Covid later? I think it's hard with different strains. I had the OG covid 😂 and it was worse than the flu but I had no respiratory problems. I have a couple of friends who also had it and were fine but lost taste/smell. Those same friends were vaxxed with no problems and just recently caught omicron and their only symptom this time is tiredness. I think it's pretty individual and a crapshoot based on what I've seen anecdotally in my area.

DH recently switched airlines (he's a pilot) and he's worried he'll slip back into the familiar old company call sign when communicating to the tower from the flight deck so he came up with this jingle that's his new company call sign over and over. LOL! 😂 Maybe you could try that!?! 😁

That's great! I've hard that those sorts of exercises are really good to do (body weight exercises). I'm waiting a bit before I start doing anything other than walking as I just hit 40 and my knees started chirping at me. Trying to lose a bit of weight before I start anything that might damage them more.

Oh yeah, that part wasn't response to you. That was just me posting my info on the thread! How was your workout!?!

I have found if I drink a flavored water or anything but regular water, mineral water, or black plain tea I get pretty bad hunger pains. Maybe try cutting out the lacroix until your eating window and that will help? So sorry about your mom. Sounds like you deserved the wine. Hugs! I read Gin Stephens' Feast.Fast.Repeat. book and she recommends weighing each day then taking the average (if you're going to weigh at all). Sometimes you can see that the average is trending down and that can be helpful. I also read there, and elsewhere, that it can take a few weeks or so before you see consistent results. Keep at it! The fact that your sugars are regulating a little bit is a huge victory!!! I started IF with focusing on a clean fast on January 1st and I'm down 10 pounds (I have a lot to lose) but the best thing about it is that I have a ton of energy - so much so that I'm not taking an afternoon nap at all which is almost unheard of for me (I liken myself to a Koala. LOL!) With a clean fast I'm finding that I'm not hungry much until close to my eating window and I don't have any hangriness or other emotional challenges either. I'm currently focusing on keeping to the clean part of the fast and eating what I want in my window. After a month or so I might look at making some changes in what I eat during the window but right now it's been freeing to not have to put rules on what I'm eating.

DH is a pilot and used to fly for AA (flies elsewhere currently). There have been a TON of cancellations due to storms in the NE and that coupled with Omicron running through the crews has been a nightmare to staff any airline right now. Almost all of them have been affected. I have never seen it this bad for crew staffing. Can she stand by for the next flight? Maybe going to the airport will help. It's a totally sucky situation, I'm really sorry that your daughter is caught up in it. I hope that she gets out soon!
