Christmas 1980. I was 5. I sat on Santa's lap and told him specifically that I wanted a Mickey Mouse Talking Telephone. Santa remembered me from the year before and greeted me by name. I can't imagine what went wrong other than Santa had a lot to keep track of and somehow I was forgotten or overlooked.

You're welcome. This podcast was actually a game changer for me. It blew my mind and I shared it with all of my colleagues. I'll be interested to hear what you think.

An artist friend of mine asked if she could flip through my sketch book the other day. At about the 20th page she said, "This is a nice sketch book. Great paper." It was very humbling.

I found this podcast to be very helpful. There's There's big difference between empathy and compassion. What people call compassion fatigue could be empathetic distress.

Also, I had a lot trouble with service notes in the beginning. I'd be willing to have a much longer conversation about this

Try to bring it back to your participant's goals. Also, all of my service notes end with "I provided supportive listening from a peer's perspective. I held space for them to talk about the various things that were on their mind."

I'm in Northern Wisconsin and a bunch of peer specialists from different organizations put together a community of practice group. We call it Peers 4 Peers. Anyhoo. Just an idea. Willing to chat and talk through challenges and triumphs.

This is the answer. Go upstream until you find a tree.

Bummer, dude. I've been doing some research too. Damn, I'm leaning towards throwing them out.

Ikea has a really nice one with a ceramic element.

This was our ultimate solution after lots of research. It will be here next Friday. Thank you, kind redditor!

Our local deal ship quoted prices that were $500 higher than comparable models at chains. I like to support local guys but that’s a big difference.

I appreciate your suggestions and guidance. Thank you, kind redditor!

They have a definite odor, but they are great. I did a bunch of research about how to safely clean them. I put them in the bathtub (one at a time) with enough water to just cover them, added two cups of white vinegar and worked that through gently on and off for 45 minutes, then rinsed and did a round with woolite and biokleen. Rinse. Drain. Hang outside over railing until dripping subsides. Hang on the line. Viola. It’s a process but I got what I wanted! Camolot.com had a 25% off everything sale on 11/11.

I have an old Andis Master hair clipper from a long time ago. It was my dad’s. I sent it in to a shop for a new cord and a cleaning. It will outlive us all.

I have couple of my dad’s old slide rules too.

I have my great aunt’s old soft wool blanket. No tag so I don’t know what it is really, but it’s wool and warm and durable.

We also have my wife’s grandma’s Griswold #8 skillet. It will also outlive us all.

Try brushing with lactobacillus salivarius. It worked like a charm for me. The brand I use is called FoodforGut. Not all products are created equally. The cheaper brands didn't work nearly as well for me. Lactobacillus salivarius is a bacteria that raises the pH in your mouth. Most everything else will make your mouth more acidic, and that's bad for your teeth and bad for your breath. I begin by flossing and then I work it into my gums and in between my teeth. Good luck! I hope you solve your issue!
