    Universal gift cards

    Awesome, thanks. I may order them before we leave to have them in hand. Hopefully they'll be up and running at full capacity soon. It's going to take awhile to get positions filled, I'm sure.

    Universal gift cards

    Hi there - Family of 5 checking into Portofino Bay 8/1-8/7. We are arriving the evening before and staying at Dockside for one night since our seasonal passes can't be activated until 8/1. Do they still offer luggage transfer from value to deluxe resorts? It may just be easier to Uber over in...

    A neighborly question

    Your neighbor could get coonhounds to chase squirrels off his property. My 2 are the great, brave squirrel hunter/chasers. Then you'd have to listen to hounds baying next door which may get annoying after awhile...

    False Negative COVID test?

    That wasn't a ventilator. Looks like a non-rebreather mask to me.

    Intermittent fasting.

    Stupid IBS. I have a kid with it and dairy and most veggies are out unless you want to live in the bathroom. That sucks. :(

    GRAND OPENING - GRAND CLOSING (Florida)

    Yes - it's supposed to help protect others from you. I got called a sheep in the grocery store by a middle aged, obese couple for wearing my mask. I wanted to take it off, get real close, and let them know that I work in a hospital with covid patients and based on their appearance, they...

    False Negative COVID test?

    I've seen lots and lots of false negatives (I work in a hospital) but no false positives. Typically, we are seeing people with lesser symptoms test negative, but then as their symptoms increase, they then test positive. There are different brands with varying degrees of accuracy. The...

    Intermittent fasting.

    I don't think if you've always tended toward limiting your hours of eating IF will help you to lose. You're not changing anything that way, but I think people who start eating shortly after getting up and snack after dinner would benefit . It always shocks me to think how many calories you...

    Thinking of buying a house and extremely nervous

    We have purchased 2 homes, both with mortgages, without inspections. DH works in the trades and has a better eye for construction and building codes than most inspectors around here anyway. The house we are currently in, we paid for 2 inspections after putting in the offer - one on the 50+ years...

    Intermittent fasting.

    I also have always eaten this way. I typically eat between 9-5:30 with my big meal being before noon, and I typically don't really struggle with my weight. If my clothes start getting tight, I cut back on carbs, and I do not feel good if I eat within 3 hours of going to bed, so IF has always...

    Hysterectomy- what should I expect

    I had an open hysterectomy in Jan due to huge fibroids. They were concerned about doing a robotic or vaginal due to their estimated size. I did fine - immediately post op I asked for IV narcotics, but that was the only time I needed them. Otherwise, Motrin and/or Toradol worked best for pain...

    I hope this is a misunderstanding

    We were doing it in Detroit, but it wasn't necessarily just the chronically ill or disabled. Like Disney Doll said earlier....it was triage. We were out of vents, supplies and meds. The most sick who were already maxed out on their meds and vent settings who coded were not resuscitated since it...

    Do/Did your parent babysit ?

    No. My family lived too far away. My husband's family was not capable. My FIL did pick up my kids in middle school and drop them off at home 1-2 days a week so I could work.

    Mom help please!

    11-12 years old was the age my daughter went through the "goth stage". All black head to toe, lots of dark heavy layers. Once in awhile she'd shake it up with holey jeans that I forced her to wear tights under. I was really glad when that phase passed...it was 3 long years. She's never been...

    Wisdom tooth advice

    I've had 2 of mine pulled in the dentist office using novocaine only. One had cracked, the other had a filling fall out. It wasn't a big deal since they all came in straight and were a piece of cake to remove. I still have the other 2.

    What would you do with your life if money was no object?

    I would travel more, finish my basement and have the most incredible yard. Pay off my debt and all of the debt for parents & siblings. Most of all, I want to quit so I can lobby in our state capital for health insurance companies to be accountable to someone. Everyday I see them denying their...

    Your favorite dog breed and why...

    I have 2 hounds we adopted from the Humane Society. Apparently, the shelters in the north have a hard time keeping up with demand, and the southern shelters are overwhelmed. So a few years ago, they started a swap/ transport program to help supply to high demand areas. That's how I got my 2...

    Wisconsin nurse hits the bars.

    You realize there are lab results that will either confirm a COVID19 diagnosis or not, right? I've worked with CMS enough to know that they really like to audit documentation, sometimes years down the line. I've currently got access to several different hospital systems in my area, and have...

    Pier One Imports Going Out of Business

    I love their furniture, but it's way too pricey for me. Funny story - when we bought our house, it had a large formal dining room that screamed for a large, formal table and chairs. However, we had just spent a ton on buying it, and then renovating the kitchen and bathrooms, so I couldn't...

    Are you going to eat out soon?

    That's funny, based what I'm seeing in the hospitals I thought they were underreporting. Perspective, I guess.
