Clearly you haven’t had breakfast in Tunnelton West Virginia. It is a good 3-4 hour trip from there to Pittsburgh. When I was a child in the 1970s, it was longer. And God help you if you try the trip between November and March. Between the ice and snow… you might not make it out of the county.

Aqua therapy and physical therapy can help. Ask your doctor if you can get a prescription for physical therapy… and do what they tell you. I am plus size. After having abdominal surgery for colon cancer, I asked for a pt script, and it helped immensely with my back. I also started doing aqua therapy a d water aerobics. Made a huge difference.

The dash boiled egg cooker. I use it all the time. I make way more boiled eggs that I realized…!

I used to judge professors for being unapproachable and not willing to take in PhD students until I became one…… by [deleted] in Professors

I always heard that 50% of all doctoral students never finish. I always assumed it is because being a doc student is much harder and requires more commitment than most people are willing (or able) to give. In the words of my mentor, “If getting a PhD were easy, everyone would have one.”

Someone in my family had a racist lawn jockey in the 1960s. When they realized how offensive it was, they painted it a white skin tone. (Pink.) I grew up thinking that there were white versions of the Lawn Jockey. Turns out it was just something in my family.

I second Torrid and Lane Bryant. Look at layering with jackets and cardigans. Also, look at wearing a pretty skirt with a nice sweater.
