    Question For Eclipse Totality Veterans

    I witnessed totality yesterday on a lake shore in Northern Vermont. It wasn't a life-changing experience, but it was really really cool. During totality the only word I could utter was "wow" because it was so incredibly surprising and beautiful. I wish it had lasted longer (we had about 3 1/2...

    What is the scariest medical symptom you ever had?

    Bell's palsy - went to Urgent Care and then to the ER where stroke protocol was initiated before I even received my hospital bracelet. It was a scary, but thankfully short, time, and I will never complain about a long wait time in the ER again.

    Hyperinflated Lungs

    I started feeling this way when Covid started, like I could not take a good enough breath, and realized after a bit that it was anxiety. I would get myself worked up because I was focusing on every breath which then made it worse. I also had costochondritis when I was in college where I felt...

    Solar Eclipse April 8

    Us, too! Hope the traffic up there isn't too bad. But we are going to leave with a full tank of gas, some food in a cooler and a lot of patience. We haven't quite decided where we are heading, but we are thinking St. Albans.

    Thanks for checking in, @Pea-n-Me . I am in Vermont so quite a ways away from Lewiston / Lisbon, but I do have friends and family in the area. It is a horrible, horrible tragedy.

    I wish someone could pay more attention to me rather than Dad

    Hi @DodgerGirl ! I am sorry you are having a tough time and I hope some of the suggestions you have been given are helpful. Here is one from me. As I get older I find it really hard to hear the tv, especially during scenes where there is a lot of background noise (action, music, etc.). My...

    Accutane experiences?

    My daughter took it a few years ago while she was in college. It took about a year for the full course of treatment, she had to do a few blood tests over the course and she had to take monthly pregnancy tests. She was able to a few of those tests at home because of COVID, and was able to do a...

    Things you don't like about your car

    2018 Toyota Rav 4 AWD - Tire noise is really loud and the ride is not as smooth as I would have expected. It is awkward to get in and out of and people who are not used to it bump their heads. The back seat area is tiny and uncomfortable. My DD has a 2022 Rav 4 AWD and these issues seem to...

    If your parents had given you a say in where you grew up , would you have picked the same place?

    Big brother 25 Spoiler thread

    I thought it was just awful. Too much production, too little personality. I am hoping it will improve over the course of the season.
