I bought a very nice dress to wear to the hearing (I called this my Divorce Dress), bought myself a pretty ruby ring for my ring finger (to replace my wedding ring), and the next day 2 of my friend and I went on an out of town adventure for 2 days. Very therapeutic for me.

The stadium was electric after the game!!! A toe!!! We literally won by a TOE! Mahomes suggested that the guy where white shoes so it would be harder to tell! So worth checking off your bucket list!!!

We just received an email letting us know that our local school district (in Kansas, not Missouri!) is closing because of expected low attendance from both students and teachers on Wednesday. Now I love my Chiefs but there is no way I am going downtown to celebrate with 1 million of my closest friends!!!

Safe travels to and from KC!!!! Pack sunscreen! You can take 1 20oz sealed bottle of water with you. If you have a medical condition, you can go online and fill out form for an exception to take more in with you. Have a fabulous time!!! I'm out by the Speedway!

It could be a hip impingement. Try icing it and maybe try Voltran (over the counter).
I've had 4 hip surgeries due to an incident 14 yrs ago. Lots of soft tissue injuries!

I couldn't scroll by and not let you know that I'm praying for your daughter, and for you. Please, if you can, stay at the hospital. She'll need her mom, even just in sight/knowing you're there. Hang in there, and we are all hanging with you!!!!

I am SO frustrated! Another school shooting, 3 more children gone, and emotional scars for every child in that school. I don't have answers. Sure gun control is a good idea, but the kids I work with every day, aren't screened to purchase a gun. They carry guns that are stolen, belong to a friend or family member, or they "found it". (Not that every school shooter is a teen). How do we stop these kids from GETTING the guns? I mean really, physically stop them. How do we get it into their heads that this is not the answer.
It is so heartbreaking..... as adults, we should know that we should not go out and shoot up a school, or a person. And we should be talking to our kids about the gun violence situation. And as parents, if you suspect anything, search the kids damn room or backpack!
Rant over, I'm sorry, I just feel frustrated that there is nothing WE can actually DO to stop this.

Kansas here too..... I'm listening to our dispatchers, and the wind is so bad, they are barely making out what the officers are saying because the wind is so strong. That's concerning for sure!

My SO and I discussed this at dinner last night. Imagine how his statement made kids in foster care feel!!! Sounds like HIS mom should have been given a free trip to Seattle many, many years ago!!! Can someone from out of state do anything? ??

When my horse suddenly fell sick, and we had to put her down, I took a break and didn't get another one for years. I just couldn't. I've never been without a dog in my house. It's just to quiet without one. You do what is best for you! Take a break, short or long. Whatever works for you.

I find funny cards and put a little cash in it for my sons. They are 35 and 36, but still get a kick out of me doing it.

I would really like to know what the realtor thought of the home! It's so hard to see the house for all of the stuff/art! I'm all for your own style and pops of color by Holy Crayola-factory! That's an explosion!

I'm in Kansas City and our precipitation is way down and the temperatures are way warmer than usual. We had the one freezing spell over Christmas, but that's been about it. My Mom in Gulf Shores, AL said their temperatures are way up, too, and she had to get her summer clothes out again. I’m just outside KC and I am ok with it! Although last night we got about 1/2” at the most but the streets are warm, so it’s only on the yards, houses etc.

If you do take it, please be careful!! It made me suicidal— twice. I took it for about 2 weeks and began having serious suicidal thoughts. I have never been suicidal. Scared the h3ll out of me!!! My now ex-DH knew and left me sitting in the floor w/bottles of pills. I had the sense to call my BFF and she came and got me. Again, please be careful!

Regarding the "alleged perpetrator", sometimes even if the parents know their family member is dangerous, or has a deviant mind/actions, it is difficult to get help. I just worked with a family, who's teen son shows many signs of deviant behavior, and has threatened family members w/weapons. The parents have reached out to residential mental health facilities, DCF, residential camps for youth with mental health issues, etc. Every place has turned them down- because the juvenile is not in foster care. And the foster care system won't take custody of him because they think he can be managed at home- which the parents have tried to do, but the youth is escalating. It's awful. These parents are scared to answer the phone or door, for fear of learning that their child has hurt another human being.
Victim's family always come to mind first. That is natural. That is horrible for the family. I know it was for our family when we had a loved one murdered. (not related to above). I don't give a crap about the history of the 2 monsters who killed my loved one. But when you step away and look at other murders/heinous crimes done- we can wonder more about the family of the "alleged perp."

While I am still legally married, we have been separated and lived separate for 3 yrs. I carry the health insurance and he is retired, so since we get along and are friendly, we haven't divorced because I don't want to see him without health ins. until he turns 65 and can get medicare and a supplement. Even then, we will weigh the costs of those programs vs my insurance cost. If it is more cost effective to keep him on my insurance a little longer, I'm ok with staying legally married.

I’m sorry. It is sucky, and there is no way to deny that. Lots of good posts above. I will say that the grief doesn’t go away and it doesn’t get better - but it gets different and you get better at coping with it. For many people, the first year is hardest, and for others, the second year is more difficult, as reality sets in. You’ll always have things that can trigger tears and a renewal of the grief, and some of those can come out of the blue when you aren’t prepared. It’s okay. Whatever you need to do to cope is okay. Exactly as moodyblue said- it sucks. My dad has been gone 3 yrs, and while most of the time, I'm "ok", there are days, I'm not. The second year was hardest for me. Everyone prepares you for the 1st's.... so you kind of mentally prepare yourself.... but the second year hit me hard. You just cry, yell, scream, stomp your feet in a tantrum, punch a pillow, whatever works for you!!!! Don't listen to ANYONE who says you "have to get over it". You don't get over it..... you go through it. My heart hurts for you. Please know that you are in my prayers.

Oh my gosh! I am laughing so hard, I'm crying!!!!! My oldest was about 13 and had acne. So I take him to the dermatologist. We are in the patient room, and he tells me that he's done some research and knows exactly what the doctor can prescribe to help his acne. WHY I didn't ask him what it was, I don't know. So the doctor comes in and he proceeds to discuss the acne and he proudly tells her that he knows exactly what she needs to prescribe. She was intrigued... and he proudly states that if she would prescribe him ORTHO 7/7/7, his face would be all cleared up!!! I about died!!!! The doctor didn't miss a beat..... she looked at him and said "why? are your periods irregular also?" (Ortho is/was a birth control pill which was advertised a lot on TV!)

There are a couple options right across the street from KU Med, on Rainbow. Of course right now, my mind is blank, but there is a sandwich place, a bar and grill (like Chili's) but can't remember the name. For BBQ, yep, Joe's is the best..... it use to be called Oklahoma Joe's, but now it's Joe's KC. It is a must! It's not the BEST area, but as long as you are aware of your surroundings and practice good safety habits (keys out, scanning the area etc), you should be fine.

We flew out of KCI 2 weeks ago and it was fine. We got there about 1.5 hrs early for a 6:50am flight. There was a line going thru TSA, but it was only about 20-30 min process. To me, KCI is one of the easiest airports to use. Not sure how the new one with be! Have a good time on vacation!!
