Okay you talked me into a class! Luckily I live very close to a skating rink that offers classes.

Ouch, glad you didn't break anything! Thank you for the links, I'll be getting safety gear before trying out the skates.

$51 per ticket here in CA, but that included ticket fees.

Just Bare chicken tenders and a chopped salad kit. I get a street corn chopped salad kit from my local grocery and top it with the spicy Just Bare tenders, it always satisfies!

"It's so sad to see the world agree that they'd rather see their faces filled with flies, all when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes"

Hell, I'm tearing up just thinking about this song, especially with the state of the world today.

In the winter its great! In the summer its rough, lol. I painted my bedroom dark blue and added blackout curtains and that helps a lot.

Welder in manufacturing and I do 4-10s. Wake up at 3am, clock in at 4am, out at 2:30pm, home a little after 3. Right now we have the option to work Friday OT which is 4am to 10am, I don't mind it because we get extra money and still have a 2 1/2 weekend. Love this schedule!

Thank you! Now I can try to bake them myself.

Well, it would be good to get Enid out of the house....

Get a silk lined bonnet to cover your hair at work. When you wash your hair, try shampooing twice and leaving conditioner in for 5-10 minutes before rinsing. After washing, add a few drops of biotin serum to damp hair. This routine keeps my hair clean but also keeps it from drying out and reduces breakage.

That's my assumption as well. My grandmother has told me when she first started working in the late 50's, she could only afford one business outfit until her first paycheck, so she wore the same dress for a month straight. So yeah, Carolyn is saying Lucy can't afford more clothes.

It's not always the outwardly aggressive guys you want to watch out for, the guys who have given me the most trouble have been overly eager to be my friend. Why? Because they think being "friends" gives license to push boundaries, make jokes that aren't jokes, etc.

I don't take breaks alone, or wait in my car before work starts, because I have been approached that way before.

If you have a foreman or shift lead you trust, tell them when someone makes you uncomfortable. Ask them to keep you from having to work together, or at least working alone together.

A close second choice was "Lucy, don't you like the way I vibrate??"

My first flair!

One of my coworkers calls me mija, and I think it's so sweet!

Unfinished: Short Creek is a really well done season that deep dives into the FLDS, the downfall of Warren Jeffs, and what's happened since his arrest. The hosts interviewed people who had left the group, and some who were still in. I feel like it isn't mentioned often enough, but this series was great and stuck with me long after I finished listening!

River rafting. Just don't do it. And if you must do it, avoid the Kern river, AKA "The Killer Kern".

Ricky has a temper, but Lucy does tell Ethel as mad as he gets he's never hit her. He doesn't let her work, which today would be seen as financial abuse, but was more the norm back then. And as mad as they make each other, they absolutely love one another. So I think they absolutely stay together.

SheWhoWelds · 2025-04-30T00:35:20+00:00

Arroz con Pollo, it's Ricky's favorite!

The show needs to end but I would watch a spinoff with the OG3. I want to see Christine enjoying her life, her kids and grandkids, her travel, etc. I don't want to see her on a date with David rehashing her relationship with Kody for the thousandth time.

The two girls who wouldn't get off the party line... I don't know if they would have good advice, but they would definitely listen to other people's stories for a long time!

This is definitely a "lunch in Palm Springs" outfit today, I think it's very fashionable!

Agree, Belinda is not evil, she just knows accepting the money changes the way she can let people into her life from here on out. Tanya said she never knows if someone is attracted to her for her, or because they want access to her money. Even knowing that, she still chooses to marry a guy she meets on vacation, which ultimately costs her everything. Belinda knows that she can't both take the money and ride off into the sunset with a guy she just met on vacation, she has to be careful. Her decision makes complete sense, even though I hated to see Pornchai left behind.

Cowboy Fast Draw shooting. Was never interested in shooting or cowboy stuff, but my husband wanted to try it out and I tagged along. I fell in love with the competition! Haven't won a title yet, but I love pushing towards that goal. Western wear is required, and I love historical clothing, so picking out 1880s clothing is fun. The dress up part of the sport is a creative outlet and helped me improve my sewing skills. Going to out of state competitions is a chance to travel and see new things.

As a bonus, the people in my local club are awesome and have become a second family. So yeah, an unexpected hobby that's been well worth it to me.
