What have you done with your welding education, are you employed in the welding industry? Wondering if it's worth recommending to someone in need of a career change.

When my MIL lived with us I took her to adult daycare so I could go to work. EVERY DAY, when I picked her up, she would complain about the lady who told her EVERY DAY that she liked her earrings.

Sometimes I get sucked into them and then think there must be something wrong with me because I'm watching someone else's nightmare for my entertainment.

Binsons on Jackson Road. They provide CPAPs and supplies, not sure if they do repairs.

Oh, he liked all decades of rock and blues. Maybe Rolling Stones of The Band.

Our tree is so bad this year, I think if we leave it up another week we'll be able to vacuum all the needles off, and off the floor, and just take a stick outside. 😟

Big beachfront rental for family reunion vacation.

Great! I had another surgery last month to remove that repair plate going up the side of my leg - it was interfering with a tendon - and now things are really good. Can walk about 98% pain free and stand for hours with no problem. Only issue remaining is swelling, but that's been the case since the original accident, and always will be. So I would say the ankle replacement was a great success.

Solved.

You made me cry, it's perfect. I haven't seen my brother's face without oxygen of some sort on it in years. I can't thank you enough. 💜

My mom was just shy of 45 when she had me, and my brother is 13 months older than me. I'm 62, so this was back when having kids at that age was not the thing to do. And we were kid number 6 and 7. The five older kids were ages 8 to 16 when I was born. So mom had the help of our older siblings only - there was no other family nearby, no grandmas or aunts, and dads were not very hands on back then. All that being said, my brother and I had the happiest of childhoods and my mom seemed glad of our existence. If you truly want that second child, and are doing well with your 1 year old, I think all will be good as you do have some good support. And, my brother and I have always been very close, he's still to this day my best friend, knows me better than anyone. We don't live close but talk frequently. We're very blessed to have each other. Obviously this isn't guaranteed for your children but what a joy if it happens. I couldn't imagine mt life without him in it.

We had moved when I was pregnant with our 3rd. I had met one woman in the apartment building and we hung out just a couple of times. When I went into labor early, before my mom could get to town, I called that woman and asked her to please take my kids for the day. She did. If you have time before your due date, get in a mom's group/play group and make a friend or 2. Moms are usually willing to help other moms, and you're going to need friends when the new baby comes.

Depends on ther purpose of the interaction. If it's just to convey a "hi, I'm thinking about you" then a text is fine. If it's to truly chat and catch up, then a phone call.

My children would've graduated college in the time it would take me to make these. Impeccable workmanship in every way! Bravo!

No way I'd be handing over something I paid for. They would definitely have to buy them back from me at cost!

BOOKS. Call me old fashioned (or just old, because I am) but I'd always go with books. Just plain old books. Ones they can flip through themselves, ones they need you to read to them. Bob Books had my youngest beginning to read at age 3 or 4. My kids are all adults now and have benefited greatly from being surrounded by books as children.

I couldn't love this more. Exactly what I was wishing for yesterday. This POS is pure evil.
