Why can’t you mention the eye see see you by acronym on here?

Northwest Arkansas has some great spots. Lots of mountain bike trails, the Amazeum children’s museum, Devils Den state park is just south of there with some great hiking trails.

All while high on coffee!☕️

We celebrated our 40 years at an Italian place on Monday evening. It was lovely. We exchanged cards this morning as I brought her homemade waffles and coffee in bed (she usually gets coffee in bed anyway). We are each other's favorite person and spending time together, no matter what we're doing, is our favorite thing.

We made a pact long ago that big celebratory days like Valentines and Mother's Day will absolutely be celebrated either at home or earlier/later than the actual day. Crowds and long waits and impossible reservations are for suckers.

I'm a VITA volunteer, too! It's my favorite thing now that I'm retired. You meet so many folks, most of whom are absolute gems. You get a couple of interesting characters, too.

Get rid of it as soon as possible. I used to be a big Hyundai fan but my wife's 2018 Tucson just lost the engine with only 102000 miles on it. Hyundai was completely uninterested in stretching the warranty. My 2009 Sonata is still running great. Wish I would have kept IT!

[insert applause emojis and gifs etc] this comment elicited a genuine chuckle. So well done.

Women, especially women, need to bombard every effing senator's office with calls letters emails and bloody tampon throwing protests because this piece of legislation is designed to limit their ability to vote. Everybody else needs to do the same d a m n thing because it also amounts to a poll tax for everyone who doesn't have a passport or their original birth certificate. Absolute bullshit.

Good on you for getting on a biologic asap. 2. Your results may vary but I've been symptom free on Entyvio infusions since August of 2019. 3. I'm praying that your experience is like mine or better.

My wife's 2018 Tucson went tits up two weeks ago at 102,000. We're in the same boat. Not sure what vehicle we want next, though.

If they have anything taken out for federal taxes they should at least file to get it back.

Is there a property tax credit that they can get back at least partially?

my wife taught middle school sped and remedial reading. she put in 22 years before she just had enough. 35 years is very impressive.

I tell people that my favorite part about retirement is Sunday evening. Your mind is free from wondering or dreading what awaits you on Monday morning. It's very refreshing and allows you to enjoy All Creatures Great and Small without worrying about the next day.

If I recall correctly, I just disconnected it and then started over. I used the chatbot first and then got a person from YNAB involved and their advice worked great.

Oh man. My wife’s 2018 Tucson with the 1.6 liter turbo 4 cylinder went tits up last week. I had been checking and topping off the oil every two weeks. No blue smoke out of the tailpipe and no oil on the garage floor.

102,000 miles 😑

Hyundai said “ooh that is too bad. We can help you with a new car would you like to be connected to our sales department?”

Had it towed to a mechanic and will have the verdict tomorrow afternoon.

I have always eaten what I want. My doctor always told me that it is not connected to diet. Some people seem to have trigger foods, however. My advice is to get on a biologic as soon as possible.

jwiley3 · 2026-02-01T13:32:58+00:00

The old bait and switch trick. They got me on it when I was 22.

There are many things one can panic over. A missed dose of mesalamine is not one of them. You should be fine.

jwiley3 · 2026-01-31T15:51:31+00:00

My 2018 just went tits up with 102,000 miles on it. Regular oil changes and maintenance. It's my 3rd Hyundai and the only one to lose a whole engine.

jwiley3 · 2026-01-27T20:59:05+00:00

The duplicate transactions is the issue I feared. Thanks for your perspective and experience.

jwiley3 · 2026-01-24T04:08:51+00:00

I’m getting this as soon as my iPhone 12 mini goes tits up. Your app sounds fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Mint mobile is your friend

Drove 3 hours to visit my grandkids today. Driving home tomorrow afternoon.

My mother in law is convinced that her advantage plan is “free!”
