I got home early this evening thankfully 😀 Yay! Are you good to go or is there still some healing and recovering to do? I've never known someone to get bit like so I don't know what healing is like. Yeah lots of healing/follow up appointments and all that. For everyone that is not my FB friend lol- I was bitten by a rattlesnake on my foot last week. I spent 5 days in ICU and another day in a step down unit. I had lots of complications and problems, but as of now I am doing ok and at home. It is very painful and I am using a walker to get around. My son and daughter in law are living with me right now, so they are on hand to help. I will probably be off work for about a month.

I have had a series of problems to say the least. I am doing fine now, but I was in the hospital on the 10th which is their bundling period for their subs.
I reached out to them because I loved this months cut file and was hoping I could still get it for free even though the time had passed. I also had ordered some add ons but paid for shipping since I had missed the cut off.
Today I got an email from them w/ the cut and printable files, as well as a refund for the shipping that had been charged on my add ons, and a personal note. It was such a nice touch.
I just wanted to give them a little public shout out. Their customer service is top notch.

What type of dr or clinic would I be looking for? I started low carb and had initial great results but have been on a plateu for awhile and think that may be helpful to me. My cravings are significantly less and am happy with some of the non weight loss things that have happened (better skin less fatigue) but really need to lose weight. You can look up medical weight loss clinic and there are probably several near you if you live in a metro area. There are online companies too. Thank you so much

dewryce it really is nothing short of miraculous to feel like this. Not fighting cravings every hour. Not having to starve myself and play that psychological battle to not eat, run myself ragged at the gym, and deny myself until I break down and binge. I've been on a weight loss roller coaster ever since I had my first child, had gestational diabetes, messed up hormones and metabolism, skinny years and then gaining it back in an endless cycle. Only since menopause I've just been unable to control it. What type of dr or clinic would I be looking for?

I am a 911 dispatcher. I would never ever under any circumstance give anyone a ride. Ever. I also do not stop. IF I feel that someone may need help, I help by calling the local PD non emergency #. That is the way that I can help.

exactly jeremysgirl. I do it because I have no choice (other than quitting which really isn't a choice) or doing this job somewhere else (which could result in a pay cut and longer commute). I don't mean to be a debbie downer because I love my job and I have figured out strategies to deal with the schedule but it is for sure not something I would choose.

I currently work 4 12s and I hate it. I much prefer the 5/8. I do understand the extra day off but I have RA so it really is just too long of a day for me, and I spend at least that first day off recouperating. I am tired all the time.

While it might be true that it is the fault of USPS, Persnickty Prints can get my photos to me safely, and Scrapbook.com can get paper safely to me. No other company (except for Ali Edwards at times) has any problem getting stuff to me in good condition. I am going to stick with the companies who can. I have had several issues with sb.com deliveries. More than ACOT. ok.

linda its both lol. This is where they need to be for now (my DIL had brain surgery and is on FML, and my son is now her caregiver for the time being) He is also able to help me with all my To Dos that have piled up. I have lived alone for a long time so it is an adjustment but I am glad we are all able to help eachother through this time We have also been having a lot of good family time so that is a blessing.

I love that it is low carb but had to laugh at a few of the comments: adding rice or potatoes kind of negates the low carb part. Do you find low carb sustainable? I eat fruit everyday and sometimes I am just hungry. I have started eating more vegetables. I was having an excellent low carb day and someone came home with a pie. Neither of us should be eating pie. For me, I am obese and need to lose weight. This is working. I am not eating keto, at my doctors recomendation. I do eat fruit (there are several low carb options, just as some veggies are high carb) I would have avoided the pie at this point in my health journey. I am also not eating "dirty keto" keeping most of my food choices to be actual food, not junk keto food. As far as sustainable, I am not sure yet, I have only been at this about 6 weeks. I am feeling better. My skin looks better, I have less inflammation. Feeling good, and seeing the scale go down is a big motivator once you have dealt with the cravings. Since I am trying to lose weight, keeping my carbs low helps with that. But low carb can mean a lot of things. I think anything 150g per day is considered low carb. So maybe you go for the higher number of 150 carbs (which will allow for a lot of different types of fruit) , and try to eat clean? That may help with not losing more weight? I am sure you will eventually find that balance that works for you!

I rarely do, because every time I order 12x12 paper it is damaged. They just do not package it properly. I will order from them but only if my order will not include paper, and then usually only if scrapbooks.com does not have the item.
To be fair, every time I have brought it to their attention they have tried to make it right by sending new paper, however they send it the same way they sent the first pack lol. I just gave up.
I have never had an issue with their shipping charges however.

I am in the on time is on time camp. The exception is work. I can not walk in right on time, and still be able to relieve the off going shift on time. So, in that instance, on time=late because it takes at least 10 minutes for shift turn over. ( We are 24/7 and have minimum staffing levels)

I am a 911 dispatcher. We have minimum staffing levels that must be met, and there is a nationwide shortage of dispatchers. I have a very good benefits package for sick and annual leave. All leave has to be approved and is often denied due to staffing.

I thought Ali wasn't changing the store stamps to the cheaper version? I ordered the Phrase 4x6 stamp and it feels different than her usual stamps. I am not certain if it's because the words are small so flimsier or if they changed the stamp material. Did anyone else get this stamp? What's your thoughts? www.aliedwards.com/shop/phrases-4x6-stamp-setUgh I ordered it but have not opened it yet. I will check when I get home.
