I signed up a couple of years ago, and within a month, I got off. It was awful! We have a local city FB page that is GREAT. I use that.

My twins were fraternal but I met a lot of moms of identical twins. A lot of times, to them, they looked completely different but they said one subtle thing was that one of them had a longer face. Working in a school, I have used this and found it to be somewhat true with many sets of twins. This is true of my mother and aunt, and I know it does work for some sets of twins. The identical twins in my craft group at church, it does not work. I can only tell by their glasses. One wears tortoise shell colored glasses and the other navy blue. Thank goodness for glasses. LOL! Before I pulled my girls out to homeschool them 8th-12th grade, their elementary school PE teacher never learned who they were. They were just the "C girls." Oh, and BTW, I was asking my mom about a bill for her delivery based on a conversation I had with a lady in my craft group yesterday. The lady's mother was charged $13 for her deliver (1940). She even brought a picture of the bill. It was SO cool. She was putting it in a journal. Anyway, I asked my mom if she had a copy of the bill her mother may have received when her and her identical twin were born. She said "I don't know, let me look." She didn't have one but she did find her old beaded bracelet that the hospital put on each of their wrists. It was beaded with "M... A" and "M... B." That was the last name with Baby A and Baby B. That's how the hospital could tell them apart at the time. So funny! So I guess in our family, it's a "bracelet" thing. We chose yarn and certainly wouldn't choose beads now but they did in the 1940s.

Ha. Okay, so here is our story. We read about piercing the ears and wearing different colored earrings (identical triplet girls here), we read about the nail polish, we read about diapers, etc. None of them were easy to see from across the room, in photos, etc. So, we devised our own plan. We bought yarn in each of their colors. We assigned them colors--Baby A blue or purple, Baby B red or pink, Baby C green or yellow. At 29, these are still their favorite colors. LOL! Anyway, before they were discharged from the NICU, we tied yarn in their color around their little wrists. Loose enough but so that it couldn't fall off. It stayed on 24/7--in the tub, etc. If it got yucky, we just cut a new piece and tied it on. It worked AMAZING. I wouldn't do it any other way. My mom and her identical twin still have some trouble discerning who is who in old photos. It's quite funny. My sister's twins are fraternal so easy there. Anyway, please don't let them be like a co-worker of mine that also had identical triplet girls. She got them mixed up and wasn't concerned. Ugh!!!! It still bothers me. Have fun. There's nothing like multiples! Thank you for the advice. And omg...that's terrible about the mom mixing up her daughters. You are welcome. And don't be worried. The yarn is simple and easy to see. Not covered up with socks or anything. And once their little personalities come out, it's even more fun. Our three are VERY different personality wise but they also have fun opening each other's phones and fingerprints are basically the same (something a forensics professor said he has never seen). Truly fun stuff ahead for y'all!

I am so sorry. Our dog had the same thing. We chose to put him down. As hard as it was, we didn't want him to suffer. Hugs!

The main benefit I noticed was my teeth being spaced better so it is much easier to floss. I have never heard of it improving breathing. I suppose if your teeth were really misaligned? Sounds unusual though. If you are not waking up rested and feel like you don't breathe well, perhaps consider a sleep study and see if a CPAP would help. That was life changing for DH. This and would also seek a second opinion on it helping with breathing.

Yes but when it hurts your arthritic hands, it's not good. I hope it can be turned off; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get this new watch. I have arthritis in my thumbs, so I understand things hurting with certain movements - but this seems to be a pretty neutral position so not so painful, at least for me at this time. And, I know you said it’s your opinion, but just because it might not work for your specific condition, doesn’t make it stupid. For some people, maybe many, it may be just exactly what they need - but didn’t ever think would be possible. Right, just talking about for me. Glad it could help others but not me. I just want the feature to be able to be turned off. I don't want it to be the only way to do something.

That double finger tap thing is stupid IMO Oh, I LOVE that feature! That's 100% what sold me on getting the new watch instead of an older model. Yes but when it hurts your arthritic hands, it's not good. I hope it can be turned off; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get this new watch.

Well, I was looking at the new watch but doubt I get it. That double finger tap thing is stupid IMO, and after showing hubby how it works and trying it with my fingers, it kills my arthritis in my thumb. I would hope those features could be deactivated.

100% Alegria. It's all I wear, and I always get compliments on my shoes. People can't believe they are Alegria. I get them cheap because people never buy my size (35). I used to get them for $35 or so but now it's more like $50-$60.

I have a placard for myself but rarely use it. I only use it on a really bad day. There are people far worse than I am. I would park in the regular spot to leave the handicap spot for someone that needs it more than myself (unless I am having a bad day).

I'm 5'4", so not really short. I keep spinning the drum to the front to grab the last few clothes stuck around the bottom. That's what my girls do at 5' 1". I am now 4' 11 1/2" (shrinking), and I can't reach in their washers.

Yep, we had the same issue with Spectrum. We could not even watch ESPN+ or anything that we paid for additional via streaming that was affiliated with Disney. This is what is confusing for me. Some people are saying they couldn't watch anything affiliated with Disney and some are saying they could. Is it because Spectrum is your internet provider? Yes. Disney says to connect to my local TV provider. When I did that, it detected Spectrum then it was a "no go." I then couldn't watch other channels. Disney owns much more than I thought.

Spectrum seems to be making a lot of people angry. Patter has just cut the cord with them and gone over to YTTV. Yep, we had the same issue with Spectrum. We could not even watch ESPN+ or anything that we paid for additional via streaming that was affiliated with Disney. Hubby couldn't watch his Formula One, and that was the last straw. We officially cut the cord yesterday. I dropped off all of the boxes, and we are done. We now have You Tube TV with Acron add on and Philo to get all of the channels we love. It is saving us about $100 a month. The only thing we aren't used to is how to find all of our shows--is it on Amazon Prime, Britbox, Philo, YouTube TV? I told hubby we may need to make a list. Philo and YouTube TV have a guide/live so that is helpful too.

Oh dear. My daughter met her realtor to get the keys to her new duplex. The guy next door was out mowing his law in his tighty whities! Not the way to start out.

With the Spectrum mess, we are probably switching to YouTube TV this week. Just hate that we have to piece-meal so much to get all of the channels we want. It will still be cheaper in the end though I believe.

I’m more in favor of term limits, which I think would also solve this problem. And I definitely do not think there should be a mandatory retirement age for most jobs. I can see in some special cases, like pilots as you cited, but in general - no. That’s up to the individual. This 100%.

I am so sorry. That's one reason (of many) that I always buy from Benchmark Bouquets on Amazon. Waiting on deliver of 3 different arrangements now to people. They are much cheaper, and the flowers are beyond amazing. They always last a long time. Everyone I have sent them to just raves over them.
Hope you don't have any more issues and get this resolved.
