I would love to send my DS out there to join them. How long would each of these trips tend to take them?? A couple of days?. Hard to say. With the river, probably a few days.

Slache Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Junie! That wasn't the sea, that was the Bermuda triangle! 8 hours ago, Critterfixer said: I have two kind of big things planned for the boys as part of their year. One is floating the length of their favorite river by themselves, camping along the way by themselves, etc. The other is hiking the length of one of their favorite mountain trails. So a lot of wilderness exploration in there. I think they'll like that. Put together a rough idea of what I'd like them to work on academically. So I think this is happening! I wanted to say travel. You're pretty central and could plan some road trips. I didn't because the economy and such, but travel was the best thing for me as a kid. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I am reading “The Remains of the Day.” I’d heard of the movie, but never saw it. Picked up the book because I felt like it was something I should read. And I love the title. It’s not really my usual fare, but I am liking it.

Dianthus Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I had a great day! Did the ironing. Saw 2 friends. Ran some errands. Came home and back to yard work. Apparently one of those people who doesn't learn their lesson. Wore short sleeves and shorts and flip-flops and got scratched worse. I got sap in my hair too. Just a little pruning grew to more and more. Solo uno mas! It looks much better but dh will have to dispose of 2 truckloads of sticks and branches and sticker bushes and weeds. So much stuff. I'm reclaiming land that the forest had reclaimed. I hope dh notices and likes it. He'll notice the piles but I hope he notices where they came from. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 First evening of my 41st high school class reunion. It was very nice to see a few classmates that I haven't seen in 41 years. Others I see fairly often. I told my dh that these people probably see my most unvarnished personality of anyone outside of him. They know my history and lived parallel lives to mine in many respects. I am tired. I have to get up and go go go in 8 hours. I sure hope that I can regain some spoons by morning. I am on the cusp of being too tired to sleep. (It's a thing.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Good morning! Hope you've been able to collect some spoons for today, Jean! Dd23 is coming up for the weekend and bringing her boyfriend along to take her younger sisters to a concert. I found the Moroccan chicken recipe, though I have so much of last night's vegan dinner left over, I'm a little tempted to just have leftovers. My kids are so tired of leftovers. I have some cream baking in the oven (clotted cream) and plan to make some scone dough today. My dishwasher is leaking again. Sigh. It may be time to invite Pup's favorite appliance repair guy over. Coffee! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Why do people that are over 500 pounds that get gastric bypass not also get liposuction? I just think that if they're ready to take their health to the next level it would be easier without so much excess weight, but it's not really a thing so there must be a reason. I keep getting clips of My 600 Pound Life in my Facebook feed and it's so hard for these people that can't walk to lose weight I don't understand why they don't make it so that they can walk more than 5 feet but I have no idea what I'm talking about so I'm probably missing something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so much fat maybe they'd have too much trauma with liposuction. Maybe more infection risk? Have you seen liposuction surgeries? Looks gruesome. Ok, googled: "Liposuction is not an effective treatment for obesity. The procedure only removes subcutaneous fat—the outermost layer of fat under the skin. With obesity, the main concern is visceral fat—the fat that surrounds your internal organs and causes health problems" "The maximum amount of fat that can safely be removed with liposuction is between six to eight pounds (three to four liters). An increase in the volume of fat removal heightens the risks of complications. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to do the sinus rinse and didn’t really get a whole lot of relief. I just need to stay on top of it with Flonase. The doctor said I need to do that on a regular basis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was very careful and only used afrin for 2 days. I start flonase when any child gets a cold so it will be working for me if I am ill. I was prescribed a nasal spray by and ENT once that worked well, but it was expensive and I don't remember what it was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
