Well said, LT.

Not sure whether this is cheating, but I got some steps in when I went to meet my nephew at the park for his birthday. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

Thanks, LT.
It was good to see him, albeit briefly. His new bike was the main event, plus there were lots of his friends present. I still feel strongly about kids having access to creativity, so I gave him some handmade crayons (by someone with crayon-making expertise) and a space themed colouring book. Good rainy day activity, perhaps. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

Those seem like nice gifts! Crayon-making seems like an interesting hobby. |

I wanted to ask more about the process when I bought them, but the event was well-attended so I didn't want to keep the woman talking.

Between parents and the fact that so many now want to trauma dump/come in and tell you their diagnosis - "Prof. Stopdog - I have X - so you have to..." Me "no" -My position is if you have anxiety, depression, hammer toes, or a hang nail -it is not my problem. It is your problem to figure out how to learn with whatever challenges you have because we all have challenges. And the stupidity of "no upsetting topics" or "you have to warn them when sensitive topics are coming up -thing is a hill I will die on - attorneys have to handle upsetting info - if you are too damn delicate then go be something else.

SD-When I took a year break from my regular career to work in a school I had a co-worker who was 24. The 24 year old co-worker was reprimanded one day. She must have went home and told her mom that she got reprimanded at work because her mom called the director and told her not to bully her daughter. (The director didn’t bully her). 24 year old coworker probably should have been embarrassed that her mom called her job to yell at her boss but she wasn’t. She was proud of her mom and bragged about it. I just stood there and shook my head.

After two years of collecting stamps on the Aunty Anne’s pretzel loyalty card. I finally got a free almond pretzel!
I kept starting and losing them or not having my card on me when I bought one. They used to have a buy 6 get one free card. Now they’ve reduced it to buy 3 get one free. I have the older 6 stamp card too. __________________ |

I wanna know when they started making parents who took their kids' side! I noticed my cousin did this, and i was like whaaaat?
Had a pretty good day today. Got back on the exercise bike, for 20 minutes. I havent been feeling great this week, not sure why, probably the hot weather. But it should be done now. Googled self care avoidance, some good insights. |

My parents' default position was that we were the problem -not the others. I actually think that is the better way to go.
My dad is in the hospital - he wasn't feeling good and then his apple watch alerted him to his heart rate being up to 190 (he was just in bed reading) so they went to urgent care who called ambulance and now he is hooked up to all sorts of things -the tests are so far inconclusive -but he is raving good things about the watch now to any poor intern, rn, lpn, and candy striper he can according to his wife __________________ Please NO @ Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

Im glad your dad likes his watch! Thats funny - i would think one would notice if ones heart rate increased appreciably! Its not like blood pressure. I mean arent you gonna feel it going thumpa thumpa thumpa? Mine went to 120 once on an electrolyte imbalance, speaking of chinese food (different thread!), and heck yeah i noticed.
