They already have and there was some backlash. ETA - here's one article https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/06/17/juneteenth-walmart-black-businesses/

All the businesses were open but county offices were closed. DH and ds2 had to work. Ds1, Ds3, and dd all had the day off. None work for the government.

@Ann.without.an.ethank you for sharing! What a sweet message.

I'd love to know what was posted on FB! Hope all goes well with the meeting. Wishing you and your family all the best. I could relate so much to this whole situation.

Aw, I LOVE this! Happy Anniversary and thank you for sharing your journey. ❤️

YAY!! 🙂

I'm so sorry. We went through something similar when we built 26 years ago and it was incredibly stressful. My kids were very young (3 under 5 years old), we were renting a home and had to keep begging the owners to let us stay longer because the finish date on our house kept getting pushed back, then we ended up moving in before our septic field was finished and the health department threatened to evict us - once again, we had three young children and I shattered my ankle right after we moved in and needed surgery so we were facing eviction when I couldn't even walk. Our yard wasn't even close to being in so the kids would go out and be covered in dirt and mud every time they went out. It was a nightmare! Hope yours is complete soon and this can all just be a bad memory as you enjoy your new home. ❤️

Thank you all so much! 🙂

Does anyone have an inexpensive water flosser that they can recommend? DH needs one and I'm kind of overwhelmed by the choices available.

I was surprised to find out it does! I just assumed it wouldn't.

Wow, I think you did a great job with this and I'd love to be able to express myself so well.

you can click on the actual stamp itself and it will tell you if it's been completed. I hope that makes sense. Go to Amazon, click on prime, click on the stamp page, and then click on the individual stamps.

I would do exactly what you are doing and it wouldn't occur to me that the trash collectors would care. It's not like you're dumping exposed cat waste directly into the can! ETA - of course it would smell, too!

That's really concerning.

Yep, take one for the WTM team!

Wow, that's really interesting!

How are you feeling? Glad you got DH in the shower and hope he feels better soon.

I hate driving. DH likes driving and is a better driver than I am. He always drives if we're together - even on long road trips - and that works for both of us.

I wear them for me (sentimental value) so I want them facing me.

My ds1 tested positive Monday morning and was finally feeling better yesterday and even better last night but feeling worse again today and his fever returned. Stupid Covid. His live-in gf is still negative with no symptoms. Glad your DH is doing better and fingers crossed that your symptoms are super mild and are over quickly. I feel so bad about it all (for everyone). All of my adult kids were supposed to come home this weekend (haven't seen them this year) and the visit had to be canceled due to ds1. Christmas was ruined too.

Aw, Katie, I'm sorry. I hope you don't end up actually getting sick. How is DH doing today? Hope you get lucky and the kids don't test positive. What a mess. 😞

A lot of products I buy at Walmart have gone up - Stonefire Naan, Great Value pop (which used to be so cheap), Pizza Buddy Pizza Dough (also used to be so cheap), several brands of ice cream, Great Value cookies... Their eggs just dropped in price though. The price increases stress me out. We're fortunate that we can afford it but I hate seeing the prices so high and I'm tempted to bulk buy everything nonperishable before prices increase even more. Oh, forgot to add the Great Value microwave popcorn and the Great Value peanut butter powder - both have increased quite a bit.

@KrissiK I'm very sorry.

Oh no! That is so frustrating when you're mentally ready and prepared at home. Hope it gets rescheduled and done very soon.

Yes, I use food to soothe and distract myself many times. And I don't feel full ever. Never have - since I was an infant. My hypothalamus doesn't work so I suspect it's related to that? I have no sense of fullness and can be a bottomless pit if I allow it.
