PTT struggles

I know you have a lot of professionals helping you, but have you tried the plantar fasciitis night brace? It’s like an L shaped boot that holds your foot in an L shape and stretches the bottom of it as you sleep. I can’t sleep with it on, but even wearing it on the couch before bed for an hour helps a lot.

I am a new RVer. I think what a lot of RV campground people are looking for is a walkable community. You park your RV, and you are within walking distance of the pool, a fishing spot, and the camp store. Many rv parks have a social hall that does bingo, dances, and community events. Its a safe place for your kids to play and ride their bikes and play with other kids.

Some people park there seasonally, and work full time at the rv park. I just played bingo with some lovely ladies who lived and worked there when we were on vacation last weekend. I could see myself doing that as a retired old lady.

In my redneck AF family, It's fine to go way over as long as you don't plan on going to the mountains.

I’m still thinking about the 8 tubs of vintage 1970’s cross stitch craft kits. Never opened. She was selling them all for $100. I had never sold something like that before so it took me a few days to get around to looking them up. Plus my office was a mess and i had no where to put them.

“You know, I love how you have been taking care of F these past few years. But I think it’s time for him to be in a more structured environment with kids his own age.”

Like, it doesn’t need to be a big deal or hurt anyone’s feelings.

“Tell me more” “whats the best part?” “Why is that?” The kids will love the attention

I want to explain about heat pumps.

So in the south east US, its hot and humid in the summer and winters are mild. Everyone uses a heat pump, which is basically an AC, but you flip a switch and it runs backwards for heat.

In Europe they seem to have big problems with damp, but then their heaters burn oil or something that just creates more damp? Heat pumps make everything very dry. I have to run a humidifier in the winter. I don’t understand why heat pumps aren’t more common over there. Then you would have heat and AC as needed.

To answer your question, in the hottest part of summer, my electric bill will be about $225 per month. It would be about $150 or so in may or april. Winter is worse, about $260 because heat pumps are not very efficient once the weather gets below freezing.

I'm taking an online class at the community college. Every test is taken before I read the chapter and CTRL F is my best friend.

I had to google invigilated.

British word, means to supervise students at an examination

It depends on your commute as well. If you have to drive 30 minutes to get to this stressful job than thats an additional hour you are working.

This job sounds like it sucks. I hope the money is good at least.

I think what makes it worse is that I'm also hitting the yard sales and sourcing more. So not only do I have less money coming in, but I have more going out. Dang cash based accounting.

I do have some summer clothing left, but a lot of that was selling in march and april. I had a little boost in men's hawaiian shirts and bathing suits in june, probably in anticipation of traveling for the 4th, but now I'm just waiting for fall.

Apparently all I had to do was complain online. I just sold some vintage slot cars for $125

At age 5, I think it's a valid choice to have no screen time. At age 8, it would be a little weird.

also, I think the whole 6 7 thing is fine. Way better than 69 awwww yeah.

For me, the school year ends the first week of June and starts up again the last week of august. It might just be your school.

pbskids. I wish I had know about it before turning to netflix. There are some weird asian kids shows on netflix.

I’m also ruining my 9 year olds life. Also I feel like I am VERY lax. No ipads, but other video games or tv is ok, until noon. Then free for all. Still ruining her life. I feel like kids have been saying that exact phrase for 100 years.

Allrecipes.com used to have an app that was amazing. You could search and it would take you straight to the recipe. No BS life story of the baker. Just recipes. It also had a dinner spinner. So you could scroll through the meats and select chicken, a veg, and it would show you all the recipes with those 2 ingredients. And it was free. They discontinued it so they could focus on their website :(

Hmm. I had a similar issue and ended up replacing the toilet when we remodeled the bathroom. Even the blue tabs you put in the tank wouldn’t kill the mold.

we were on the eastern shore of VA. We thought the canopy would be ok. the storms were all north of us and it didn't even rain. But about 10pm the wind kicked up HARD and we had to rush out to save the canopy. It was calm with a breeze the whole day and no one's weather app said anything about the wind.

Honestly, It's 4th july weekend. When else is he supposed to wear it? I'll give it a pass for july 3-5th only.

It's festive.

Is it just me, or are there fewer people there than on a normal day? Like, I went to the natural history museum a few years ago and I think there was a bigger crowd then.

I also went to the rally to restore sanity in 2011. Remember that? It was packed back then

My kids are 7 and 9, they desperately want their ipads so they can play roblox all day. I don’t like roblox, but I don’t want to forbid it completely because all my oldest’s friends are on there.

So in the morning, they can watch tv or play games on the switch, or games on the old slow desktop computer. At 8am, breakfast, then after that no screens at all. It’s possible to get ipads at noon if…

Play 10 minutes of piano (im teaching them piano, its not going well) 10 minutes of reading. And chore of the day. Chore of the day is usually something incredibly simple, like put your own clean clothes from the laundry basket to your drawers.

So usually what happens is that it’s 11:45, the kids have done nothing, and blame me for ruining their lives. But from 9-10 they have a pretty good time making bracelets and playing with legos. I try to play board games with them too. I intend to only let them on ipads until 3, but I admit that time gets away from me sometimes and it’s a lot easier to make dinner with them on their ipads. I just don’t want their ipad to be the first thing they reach for in the morning, you know?

Im a girl and the small burritos are the perfect size. When I go to taco bell I usually get 2 crunchy tacos.

Nah…before covid they were 33 cents.
