My guess is people are buying up all the other brands, because of the recall.
I'm allergic to bees; the last time I was stung, I got a welt about the size of two hands where I was stung on the side of my rib cage, along with a rash that wrapped my entire torso, from armpit to hip. Started swelling, was cellulitis. Had to take anitbiotics. I'm also allergic to latex; had to wear latex gloves for work fo r a week because we were out of nonlatex. (food service, had to wear, no other option) Reaction kicked my psorasis into gear, and I ended up with cellulitis in both hands; more antibiotics. Now I avoid touching latex and bees as much as possible, lol. Hope your SD gets better soon.
@flyingdumbo127 glad your dad found shoes. I love Sketchers; it's what I wear almost exclusively. Gas is about $4.63 by us; but on the north side of Jax, it is up to $5.85 in some spots.
DH says if it hits $5.50, he'll just start WFH at least 3 days a week; only going in on Tuesdays to do meetings and one other day to do assessments. (He does a working assessment of potential drafters/designers; he gives them a series of things to do, and they have 2-3 hours to complete them; then he reports his opinion to HR. HR factors his assessment in when they make the hiring decision.)@PollyannaMom That sucks.
@tazdev3225 busy week for you. Mask up, so you can get on that boat!
@frog3101 I'm with every one else. Unless you are getting anything out of cleaning the house, stop. Don't put extra work into things that aren't going to benefit you and the kids. I'm going to also say, maybe you do need to sit down with the kids, and let them know that dad and mom are going to be seeing other people, and that they will meet some of them; and that it is ok. Your ex isn't going to stop bringing the gf around, it is obvious; I would save the energy for fighting the bigger battles. Maintain your focus on keeping things calm for your kids.

Anyways, lazy day today. I took a Zyrtec early this am because I was so congested (head and ears). Knocked me out for about 4 hours, lol; I usually take them late afternoon, so I just get tired for bed. Now, I'm going to be up all night. LOL.
Tonight we are having Roasted poblanos stuffed with ground turkey and topped with cheese. Hello Fresh sent me turkey instead of pork for one of the meals on accident, oops. It'll still be good.
Other than that, nothing new here. My arm is feeling much better; I slept with a pillow under it last night, and have had it propped up on another while on the computer, so I guess that helped keep it elevated and took some pressure off it. Still sore, so still taking it easy. I did sweep and mop most of the house today, because I can do it with my left hand; also cleaned my bathroom one handed (skipped the big tub, that can wait until I'm feeling 100%)). I just need to clean the hall bath, and sweep/mop it and the bedrooms.
have a good day, y'all.
I hope you can find some comfort in being with family and friends during this tough time. You are a strong person. I hope you can get some comfort and sleep soon. I hope mediation goes well.
extra and continuing, B&B. You are in my prayers! Take care! I'm glad you also like Skechers. Dad's feet (and my own) can be picky shoe-wise. Skecher's generally work well for us both. Eek to your own gas prices. I'm sorry they are so high out there. Prices on everything keep climbing out here though that's for sure 
today. As always, to all of dear you, please PM me if you'd like a surprise postcard or card from CA. PO reminder that prices will go up again on July 10th. I'll be getting extra stamps ahead of time.
. Holy moly, you have a lot going on this week! I would definitely be booking a Disney trip to relax.
. They are hidden pretty good. He said he could have grabbed one of the kittens but didn't want to take just the one, he's aiming to save all 3. He talked to the people who work at the laundromat who they share the parking lot with. They told him that they've been feeding them so he's going to try and lure them out with seafood flavored food. He's going to "rent" a trap from the cat shelter that we used to volunteer at. He gets the trap for 2 weeks and when he returns it, he gets his $70 back. He wants to keep all 3 of them, I tried talking him into letting the shelter trap them and get them fixed. He doesn't want to do that because they will release them again. I swear my boys are just like me 
. Ds1 just told me the other day that he took in another stray. He feeds 2 other strays but they don't give any indication that they want to come inside, just want the food. This new one came right in the house with him and laid next to him. I told him that he's someone's cat, he assured me that he asked around the street but no one is claiming him.
There was a lot I wanted to respond to but now I can’t recall any of it, and I only have a few minutes. But loved the last few posts about birds and rescues, I love people that love animals and help those in need. 
Thank you.
.) All I could think of was that he was howling for his original person because he missed him. Sort of like when you go away for a few days and it’s fun, but then you want to go home. That’s the sense I got. Poor thing. He’s definitely fitting in and getting more comfortable every day, though. Adores DS and is all over him when he comes home, but is good with all of us, too. (Definitely a “man’s dog”.) But he checks on everyone to see what they’re doing, you just feel the nose on your leg or foot, so I know he cares about all of us.
