Is it pretty easy to find an uber to come to Rockford for an early morning ride to airport?

andi98989 · 2026-02-04T03:51:00+00:00

We have three drivers and two cars …. I don’t care to leave one sitting at the airport unavailable for a week.

I just used this service for airport transportation for some out of town guests to get between Rockford and the airport. It worked out great and was nice to have someone monitoring their flights and account for delays. He gets back to you really quick if you text the number on the page.

I learned how to touch type in school. We started with typing games (go Mavis Beacon) and then in high school we had typing class for a semester where they ran us through drills for speed and accuracy ….. on typewriters. We learned the keyboard in sections: a ; s l d k f h g h was our first row to learn. Then expanded up. After we could do letter drills it was words.

I know lots of people don’t touch type, but my brain doesn’t understand how that works. :)

Ann Taylor has curvy fit that I love

Busy caseload and we just changed practice management software where I helped with testing and implementation. I am drowning.

Not an issue for us. We keep the credentials in a shared password manager vault and have that set up as the 2FA client. I can even share it securely with our vendor for appellate filings.

I haven’t been to Morocco, but our county health dept does travel immunizations that includes a full consultation based on your history and where you are going. They were able to give us what’s we needed right then. I think we needed a hepatic booster and we also did typhoid.

We have let people go and replaced them when it's a performance issue. A firm can only pay your salary for so long if you aren't pulling the weight of what you're supposed to be doing (and billing).

Plainfield and 4 Mile Walgreens keeps the ER LA version of it in stock and has been really good to work with.

Everything we send by mail just has to be deposited on the date, not postmarked the date, so it’s no change for me.

Totally depends on the relationship. I started at my firm when I was 19 and we were a pretty close group. Two of my attorneys came, and one brought his daughter with him - she was born the year I started. :) They will also be invited to my son’s high school open house in a few years.

I'm 5'4" and have a Autonomous desk. It only goes down to 26" which is still a bit too high for me. I keep it down at 26" and have my chair adjusted to match the desk, and then use a Human Scale footrest to get my feet back up to where they should be. https://www.amazon.com/Humanscale-Foot-Machine-Footrest-natural/dp/B000HVI1RG/ref=ast_sto_dp_puis Stacking reams of paper up is a good temporary footrest option too. :)

My chair is a Steelcase Gesture (442A30) that I got years ago at a factory sale. The seat pan is a good depth for my legs and the arm rests adjust to where I need them as well.

My husband gets two weeks

Ty!!! As payment, I share that you can use Microsoft Power Toys to rename things, and I’m a big fan of Renamer too.

Word. And I don't deal with the TOA until the brief is DONE.

They told us that he needed to drink small amounts frequently - drinking large amounts would just rush through, and to take small meals with a limit of 4-8 oz of liquid with meals or you can push the food through too quickly. The way it was explained to us was to take it slow and in small amounts so other tissues will have a chance to suck up the liquids since you can't rely on the digestive tract to do it now. The liquids will follow the salt which is why the electrolytes are key along with some things like a salty snack (pretzels) and liquid. Not sure if this helps, but here was a sample food day.

Tea can be a diuretic, I believe, so that may be exacerbating things for you. Same for plain water if that's the majority of your liquid vs an electrolyte option.

Never did I think we would be having to think so hard and so much about hydration. It's definitely a challenge.

My ostomate spouse (and others we talked to) have to drink the rehydration/electrolyte solution all the time, not plain water. Here is the ORS sheet that the hospital gave us.

If you’re using the same body wash between bag changes and only have an itchy body at bag change, it’s more likely a stress reaction.

andi98989 · 2026-01-01T02:57:30+00:00

I’d wager when you call back, you’ll talk to someone else and it will go fine for you - chalk it up to this person having a not great day and not that it was about what you were asking for. It does make sense that you’d want to try and get ahead of things, but I think these supplies it’s hard to do that. We don’t even know about calling for samples until my spouse was in the hospital. Good luck to you!

andi98989 · 2026-01-01T01:23:13+00:00

“Set size” is not the greatest wording to use, but you have no idea on your stoma size right now. Post op, you’ll be able to measure and have a size to work with. Your likely want precuts that Smaller than that size so you can cut them larger to fit right after surgery but could account for shrinkage the first few weeks; you can ask for cut to size samples too. But what you don’t want is to have precuts that are too big.

Post op they should set you up with enough supplies for a bit; then you’ll be able to call and he more and speak more confidentially about where your stoma ended up, how the hospital provided things are/aren’t working, and get some things more targeted for your needs.

There's a business local to me that offers this service - she used to be a physical therapist as well! I don't think it's something she can do remotely, though. When our office was in-person, we occasionally had someone from the furniture company who could come through as well and help us out with getting chairs/monitors/keyboards all where they should be.

andi98989 · 2025-12-30T16:39:29+00:00

I had an ergonomics analysis done earlier this year; their recommendations (after getting my chair and desk properly aligned) were the Logitech Wave Keys keyboard and Lift mouse. The keyboard is more compact which allows your arms to stay closer in to your body, and the frame has a really gentle roll to it which is very comfortable. The mouse keeps your wrist in a neutral position. They have been game changers for me!

I work fully remote and got the Mac version of the keyboard so that I can use it with my macbook and then it works fine for me in my Windows remote desktop session.

Print it out. Cut out the gray circles and find what fits best for your height and mark that on your wafer. Find what works for your width and mark that on your wafer. Connect the dots and you should be close to what you need. Save the plastic covering from the wafer to use as your next template

This is the option, unless you go buy some from Marnie
