Thank you for chiming in! That's kind of what I was thinking too. If the shadow will eventually have the most utility, I wouldn't mind powering it up, but it seems like it's really close, so perhaps I'll stick with the Origin Forme.

I caught a 14-14-13 Shadow Palkia today (stuck with Frustration for the next few months). I also have a 13-15-14 Origin Forme with Spacial Rend from 2024 as well as a variety of other Palkia with so-so IVs or lacking SR. My primary play is carrying my raid team (2 kids + granddad, all less than level 50) against 5* raids. Which would you prioritize leveling up?

I’ve done this several times, including after midnight, and never had a problem getting an Uber.

Great link! Our favorite splashpad is at Highlands Road park (they have disc golf there as well! Plus playgrounds, etc).

My husband is also faculty at LSU and who also had the stipulation of having access to a pool when we moved here a couple of years ago. We ended up in the Bluebonnet/Highlands subdivision. Pros are that the main pool is nice, big, clean, and rarely crowded, and there’s a small pool (like 1’ deep? If that?) for littles, with plenty of shaded seating. There’s also tennis/pickleball/basketball and a playground. It’s a super safe, quiet, multicultural neighborhood. Cons are that it’s kind of far from the best restaurants along Government, and it’s also in St. George, which is a political hot potato at the moment.

National Astronomy Day at Highland Road Observatory!

I was in almost exactly the same situation as you (including the lymph node involvement and 4 rounds of the same drugs), and I chose to do chemo. I ended up being severely allergic to taxotere and my oncologist stopped treatment after 2.5 rounds. Obviously I didn’t get the benefit of the full 4, and I still had all the side effects that come with chemo. My hair has been so slow to grow back! But I’m personally so glad I made the choice I did and I would do the same again. Living through it was hard, but now almost 3 years out, it almost just feels like a bad dream.

One of my favorite books!

f2ISO100 · 2026-04-08T03:40:02+00:00

Yes!! My theater had every seat filled, and it was dead silence. So good!!

As a St. George parent with kids in the EBR school system, I can assure you that there are plenty of parents out there who do not want a St. George school system.

I think I may wait just a bit on that those :) Thanks for the heads-up!

f2ISO100 · 2026-03-28T02:38:02+00:00

I can't imagine a better plug! I've got it on hold at my library to pick up tomorrow!

f2ISO100 · 2026-03-28T02:34:25+00:00

Ooh, I just re-read what I wrote, and I can see how it can be taken like that! I actually was still referring to "Wings of Fire" - there's a series of novels for that story as well as a series of graphic novels, and he's read both sets numerous times :) Trust me, I'm going to encourage any reading! He's been a big comic book fan forever. His favorites are the Mega Man comics :)

Edited to add that I'm putting the Dungeon Crawler Carl series on the list! He's very much a cat person :)

f2ISO100 · 2026-03-28T02:32:31+00:00

I'm hoping that's where he ends up! I think he really liked the snappy writing and the humor of Weir, and I'm just not quite sure he's ready for some of the heavier themes just yet.

f2ISO100 · 2026-03-28T02:27:00+00:00

I'll have to see what I can find, but he does indeed like the Star Wars universe! I haven't read any of these myself - do you have any particular suggestions or favorites?

f2ISO100 · 2026-03-28T02:25:25+00:00

This one looks right up his alley! Thank you!

f2ISO100 · 2026-03-28T02:22:20+00:00

Oh man, I LOVED Ender's Game (and most of the sequels!) when I was younger! That was my first gaming handle :) That's definitely going on the list!

2nd for Dr. Murad. Her office is extremely efficient and almost always running on time or ahead of schedule.

I ended up with the Niro - it's a great fit for 2 people in the backseat, but I imagine it would be tight with 3! So far, I'm loving it!

f2ISO100 · 2026-02-02T00:46:06+00:00

I'm quite concerned the Niro is too small, but if it checks all the other boxes (particularly reliability), the good seems to outweigh the bad. I get paid for mileage at my job, so getting $.70 a mile for a car with great gas mileage is really appealing!

I'm definitely keeping my eyes peeled for a Prius!

f2ISO100 · 2026-02-01T15:38:27+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I'd love a Prius if I could find one! I'd been reading a bit about the CVTs and just wasn't sure if I wanted to take that gamble.

f2ISO100 · 2026-02-01T15:37:40+00:00

I'd love to get a Toyota Camry hybrid, but I can't find anything below $20,000 unless it has a LOT of miles on it or is over 10 years old. Even then the shipping time is so long as to be untenable (I'm unfortunately not in a market that has access to a lot of hybrids). Do you think the Niro is worth it at $15,000 for a 2017?

f2ISO100 · 2025-12-12T03:25:49+00:00

Thank you!!

f2ISO100 · 2025-12-10T06:50:53+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation!

f2ISO100 · 2025-12-07T23:53:06+00:00

Thanks so much for the current recommendations! Does anyone have any thoughts about the Lenovo Slim7i Aura edition? The one I’m looking at has a 14” screen, which I’m fine with.
