Sounds like that. Accept it, don’t fight it. Maybe in fighting it you are tensing up and that makes it worse??. I don’t know, I’m not a real doctor.

Slache Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) If you take the word wizard, and replace every letter with its reverse (A becomes Z, B becomes Y, C becomes X, etc), you get draziw, which is wizard spelled backwards.

Another Lynn Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Okay, so I was in the AFSA and decided to glance at carpet cleaners. I thought they rented them, but only found the ones for purchase. Is it worth it? Will it get rid of the horrible smell in the girls' room? This one is the smallest and cheapest that AFSA had - is it worth it? https://www.amazon.com/BISSELL-2003T-Cordless-Portable-Cleaner/dp/B07FFJB75H/ref=asc_df_B07FFJB75H/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241975683571&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7276837995568810416&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=200527&hvtargid=pla-522141934786&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so. 😉 We used the trip down here as a trial to see how he’d react to dogs. (Both houses we stayed at had dogs.). He did really well. The few times he sneezed really hard were when my BFF’s cat was near him. So, no cats for sure. But he did well with the dogs - much butter than when he was younger. So I’m probably just going to have to actually vacuum now. LOL ETA: He spent a whole day hugging my sister’s dog. It was so cute. He was fine. So we just have to find one he doesn’t react to.

This idea is intriguing to me. I found this blog post about leaning into pain. I think this is going to take a little more thought before I fully understand the concept. I think what this is about is acceptance. The serenity prayer might be the same idea with a different spin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did the Fin. Aid app. but doesn’t qualify for anything but very small loans. So we are happy he was accepted and sad he can’t go. I wish that I could give both a like and a sad face. I opted just for the like but I'm sad that he can't go as well. Is there a local place that he could study what he would have studied at SCAD? Or even start at a community college and then transfer?

Critterfixer Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 The only good thing about my cold is that I am carving through my stack of books to be read. I picked up a ton on gardening, home-building, and vegetarian cooking for a story I am writing. I finished reading a vegan cookbook last night and decided it wasn't quite what I needed. Vegetarian cookbook is up next. I have a character with some peculiar dietary requirements and some things that he can't or won't eat due to his nature. Planning his diet has been a challenge. But, I can now see parts of the wall behind the stack, so... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
