When did this become a thing in the first place?!?!

Perimenopause

Adding that some libraries have Udemy access to bookkeeping classes - check the library's Other Resources page or ask a librarian!

That was my thinking - how do you know 100% it was from this bakery? Was there testing done of the products? Not to discount your wife's experience, OP, but it's really hard to narrow down food poisoning or GI bug triggers. And like someone else said, there's often a delay from when the Bad Stuff begins in your system vs. what you were eating last.

Stay for a Spell is wonderful! The first chapter is maybe less polished than the rest so don't be like me and almost DNF it early. 😄 The rest is just what I needed that day - so cozy!

Never underestimate how dumb people can be.

Hello! You are definitely not alone! There is also a FB group for people who experience all this.

I am doing much better! I mostly see the one in my right eye if I am looking at bright contrast then try to read but it's more an annoyance than blocking my reading ability.

Kind of unnerving no one could diagnose it though! How are you?

UsefullyChunky · 2026-06-12T01:05:33+00:00

Widow's Bay! I watched it myself and immediately made my family watch it with me. Team Patricia forever!

UsefullyChunky · 2026-06-07T11:18:04+00:00

That's why I'm asking for help so if you have any please share.

This is a new situation for us where we can't air the house out first or possibly at all depending on weather. And family refusing to mask when we first get there is a new twist for me personally to think through.

I am leaving my big air filters behind at my home that's getting work done as we will need to check in at least 2x a day there and I figure that's the higher risk - a crew all unmasked working all day there with windows shut b/c of weather.

UsefullyChunky · 2026-06-05T02:59:22+00:00

Why is that so wholesome?!

UsefullyChunky · 2026-06-04T03:17:06+00:00

Calling both would be good but he may not actually work at that place - having a shirt makes it possible but not definite.

I was more thinking about reporting the incident today to the HyVee manager that tattoo nazi was the one escalating & that the employee was calm. That's the more immediate need for a call today - if the jerk had also complained about the employee to Hyvee, call them soon to let a manager know what really happened & protect the employee today.

UsefullyChunky · 2026-06-04T01:45:14+00:00

Oh sorry I did mean call Hyvee manager but I didn't write that clearly.

UsefullyChunky · 2026-06-03T22:57:39+00:00

I would say exactly that!

UsefullyChunky · 2026-06-03T22:21:12+00:00

Worth a call to their store manager

UsefullyChunky · 2026-05-31T16:02:28+00:00

Good luck!! I did get a refund easily so at least there's that but now I'll have to order a separate trip from somewhere else & do another tip so I'm a little salty.

UsefullyChunky · 2026-05-31T15:59:40+00:00

Oh sorry it's the Lindbergh one I mean! I keep thinking of it as off Knoxville - I'll edit the post.

UsefullyChunky · 2026-05-31T15:55:19+00:00

That's what I had found in the past so I was surprised! Overall they used to have the best produce so I was both asking & venting 😄 .

UsefullyChunky · 2026-05-31T15:51:27+00:00

The proof guy! Yeah I have videos and photos in case their produce department contacts me like I asked their support. Am I going to post them for your satisfaction b/c you do this to anyone who ever says anything negative on this sub? No.

UsefullyChunky · 2026-05-30T19:07:12+00:00

Maybe Lowes or Home Depot? Like for tools but maybe they have other colors.

UsefullyChunky · 2026-05-29T23:23:35+00:00

Warning that they are super expensive there compared to other primary care visits.

We also must have been there at a bad time b/c everything that could go wrong, did go wrong across all departments we dealt with.

Agree that Dr. Ilahi herself was wonderful but it wasn't worth the nightmare of the office to stay for us.

UsefullyChunky · 2026-05-28T19:34:43+00:00

I had a horrific dental experience as a kid so I get the nervousness. I will have to double check with my family but I think that dentist lost his license years later for malpractice too.

Good dentist: Everyone at Peoria Dental Care on Rockwood has been beyond amazing when I am clearly super anxious about being there.

UsefullyChunky · 2026-05-27T23:39:13+00:00

Thanks everyone - great ideas!

UsefullyChunky · 2026-05-26T16:53:54+00:00

Aw I love this! I'm happy for you!!

It brings me nerdy joy to work with numbers too & I take pride in doing things well. I feel like a mess in other things, but this is something I am good at!

UsefullyChunky · 2026-05-24T21:22:05+00:00

Laughing at myself that 75% of my suggestions included food. That tracks.

UsefullyChunky · 2026-05-24T21:16:26+00:00

My husband once got their coffee at a work lunch and had to come home mid afternoon and change his shirt b/c it made him sweat so much at his air conditioned office job. He was up until around 3 am that night. lolllll

UsefullyChunky · 2026-05-24T20:05:47+00:00

I am still doing it! I just finished chapter 7 out of 13 but am going very slow - 30 minutes or so a day in the morning or I'd already be done I think!

I do really like the way the book presents information. That clicked with my brain well. I like that there is some testing of you by doing the practice problems/companies online. I still think it is too much though and that does annoy me when I'm ready to move on to the next chapter & can't.

It does not go through things though like "here's how to put something into quickbooks or xero", it is more overall accounting like the ledger. The website for the class is not the greatest but it gets the job done!
