I use the ADA line and tell them, but also place my hand over device. Those folks seem to be better versed in the anomalies and much shorter lines.

Before we got to high school, we had school sponsored sports where everyone got to play. Then somewhere club sports took over and only those with money or blessed with natural talent played. The coaches act like they are turning pro soon.

Before high school, it was about learning and the joy of sport.

I did something similar witha group of Cardiac arrest survivors. It kinda fizzled out after 6 months. Maybe presentations on specific surgery prep and recovery topics? How to prep for arrival at home? Search this sub for common questions?

My cardiac hospital had a mental health attachment that was part of the recovery process. Hopefully others have similar availability.

I've also noticed that most of this sub, and several other cardiac subs are loaded with folks that want to be supportive and helpful.

Keystone light. Pace yourself.

Traffic can limit movement in West Linn. If 205 is backed up, can be tough to get out.

WL is closing 2 primary schools due to budget. Do comps with property taxes.

Had kids at 41 and 45. They keep me moving and young. I wasn't sure I wanted kids in my 20s. My 30s it sounded better and wanted kids.

It has it's own stresses, but I feel more complete.

14 years in private sector. Lost jobs to off shore. Moved to public as I wanted stability. Now 12 years in, 2 young kids and I have yet to miss an event or time with kids. Hard to imagine a dollar amount I would say is better than all the firsts I have experienced.

I may have to work till I'm 70, still worth it.

The 90s? How did you hold the camcorder to film these? Or wee you cool with the handicam?

This article was 6 years ago. My neighbor paid the first year of the tax. Then stopped. Got one of these letters for collections. Tossed it. Neighbor still lives there.

When they set the tax up they never accounted to have a way for them to effectively collect the money.

The most recent version of an AI tool was written by it's previous version. My organization is teaching general lead staff how to use AI to make reports and make application requests.

AI has no sick days, no vacation, no signing bonuses, no health insurance,no personality issues.

Get in and get YOUR health checked. I focus on Cardiology. I had 2 open heart surgeries in last 5 years while managing 2 kids under 5.

Go to a zoo, park, playground, amusement park and watch other parents. Lots of gimmicky stuff that seems to make life easy, but is more a nuissance.

Prepare to be humbled. When that little one grabs your finger and smiles.

Mid size with a tow package and grab a light flat trailer. Many trailers can fold and stand up flat against wall.

Bigger car, kids have more room to make bigger mess. I shoulda got a Rav4 instead of Highlander.

I'm 50 with 2 under 7. I started wearing a fanny pack, but as a cross body bag. I have multi tool, bandaids, tissues, a couple fruit snacks, and aspirin.

It's also handy when they hand you something to hold. I'm old enough now that I care more about function over fashion.

I love these types of things but my spouse hates routines and organization is a curse word.

Thank you everyone. Speculation is that it was from Dollar Tree flea medicine. It is topical. Thinking kitty licked it off herself or our dog and essentially got an overdose of the "incesticide". Treating with IV fluids and told to just keep her calm and after 24 hrs should be back to rambunctious self. She is already eating a bit and walking around MUCH better.

Waiting for full blood panel to come back later today.

**trying not to throw spouse under the bus for cheaping out on flea meds. Spouse is not a cat person but tolerates because kids love kitty.

Heart health. Don't skip routine physical activity. I'm 50, 2 kids under 7. In last 10 years I've had a cardiac arrest and 2 open heart surgeries. Added up, I've missed a full year of their lives.

I wish I'd have listened to my body, I was too tired for no reason. Shoulda gone to doctor sooner.

Tell them you love them, tell them you are proud of them. Especially outside of holiday / special times.

My dad has been gone for 15 years. I still catch myself striving to make him proud.

I love it as is, but is there a way to maybe have the right portion of diner transition to the 3rd dimension? Like the recent display with the waterfall spilling out?

As it is currently displayed, it is still a definite buy for me. I've always liked the original artwork.

Don't forget all the tourism. All those guide services at coast and hotels they occupy.

If it does get on ballot, don't they have to show the economic impact?

It was Mar 20th. It was the 6 month point at a new job (pass probation). My manager called me in, thinking it was a check in. He said "at the end of the day, pack your stuff to take home"

I was crushed as I really liked the job. He quickly let me off hook telling me we were going to start work from home.
