    @shanaber there are a lot of people filling out apps now. so we are trying to be careful who we approve. we also encourage getting them used to the routine before "normal" happens so they don't have to deal with the seperation anxiety
    i have them about a month usually. a few i've had 3 months.

    i've tried a few different kinds, i like experimenting

    Sorry I’m catching up on the past few days of posts:

    @elise4270 that is just mean, don’t build a girl’s hopes up.
    @Avidkeo just goes to show your feet weren’t on the ground that is why you didn’t feel it. I’ve had a lot of pains but never in that spot, sorry I hope it feels better soon.

    @katharmonic gin and tonic and patio time, I need that. Beautiful pictures.

    @kgirlhart we have the same problem here after a storms with dogs being out. I carried home a couple little dogs a couple weeks ago and locked them back in their yard, I recognized them. I told the owner next time I saw him out and he said the brown one let you carry it, I said yeah, he said girl you are the dog whisper that dog snap and bites everyone ha ha

    @T1DCarnivoreRunner hope you are feeling better

    @bearly I just read how the momma’s will hide the babies elsewhere and come to feed them at night and then maybe more them again and leave them all day.

    @mbaker566 Scooby is sweet! We had to teach Champ, our new addition, how to play. He had no idea what toys were. Great corset! That GSD is breaking my heart. I love you foster so much.

    @shanaber we are working on Champ for the reasons you mentioned, everyone is getting new dogs. I have tried to leave the house at least once a day and leave him with Skip and also leave him alone for longer stretches of time. The good thing is he has Macy to keep him company, but he cries insanely when I leave. I’m trying to teach him that I will always come back.

    Has anyone had problems with their Garmin not vibrating for notifications and alarms? Apparently my alarm did go off this morning, but since it was set to vibrate only it did not vibrate and that is why I overslept. I am also not getting any notifications and when my move bar "alerts" I am not getting that. I've played with it a little and if I set an alarm with "tone" it does work, but if I set "vibration" nothing, although if I am looking at it I see that it is going off and I have the option to snooze or dismiss. And if I set "tone and vibration" it chirps, but does not vibrate. This is really frustrating because I love having the alarm on my wrist in the morning, but I don't want it to make noise and wake my husband up. I have a FR35 and it is a couple of years old, so maybe it is time for a new one. I hope not though, because I really can't afford a new watch right now especially since I just ordered a pair of aftershokz titanium headphones (which were cheaper than a watch) on Friday.

    I push text messages and calls to my Garmin and haven't always gotten them in the last 2 weeks. Maybe an update is due. My phone had an update. I don't care enough yet, to investigate it though. We're all home so I'm just missing nuisance notifications. I have the fenix


    ETA welcome back @MegaMooseEsq !
    And
    'bout time @Scott6255 ! Glad everyone is better!

    @bearly63 - the Black River trail is not in a national or state park. It's a converted railroad trail along the river, which is apparently a place where they do quite a bit of whitewater rafting. I did not know this and now I really want to go.

    @scott6255 good news!!!!

    @mbaker566 love all your dog pics. Scooby looks sweet and I feel so bad for the possible new foster. I hope you are able to show him the love and care he needs. And I would love a smores and dog party! The smore menu sounds fabulous.

    @MegaMooseEsq! Great to see you! Good for you for making a new start!

    Ugh, super hot here today, heading over 90 degrees. This is the worst day though and then we're going back to the 60s over the weekend apparently. I ran a little after 8 am and it was not that hot yet, but grossly humid. I slogged out a slow run on the shady trails, but there was no breeze and it just felt like soup. An older guy on the trail struck up a conversation with me about the heat (naturally) and ended up talking my ear off for several minutes. He was very nice and I felt bad running away from him so I did slow down and talk for a bit. He was quite a character. I eventually got going again and headed back up the hill to go home. As soon as I got back home, I took Stella out for her walk to get that over with too. And now we are holing up in the AC for the rest of the day.

    @MegaMooseEsq woohoo for miracles that is a great start!!

    @Scott6255 that is great news about your wife’s aunt, crazy it all took so long.

    @kgirlhart I have a Garmin Forerunner 235 and it will do the same thing it seems to occasionally drop the sync to my phone etc.

    @Elise4270 Oh yeah that is a big dilemma there for sure. First new pretty shoes and mud…..then we have clay here and it’s like ice when it’s wet like that.

    @Camaramandy648 I lost like a 3 year streak and I had to just breathe and say oh well, you know you are doing what you need to do, no streak defines you. Sounds like a fantastic weekend!!!

    So my at home days are coming to an end, my boss man just sent me an email that essential me needs to be in the office starting next Wednesday. Oh yeah me ha ha Actually I’m not heartbroken about it, it’s time. But now I’ll have to go back to getting up at 4:45 instead of 6:00 to get my runs in.

    @skippygirlsmom Being able to wake up later, run, and still be "at work" on time has been the absolute best part of working from home. I'm ready to go back to the office too (although we're hearing it will probably be September at the earliest for us), but I will miss that.

    @skippygirlsmom we have clay too. I was just looking at the shoe prints of “real” runners and wondering how they managed not land on their rears through this. It’s probably sandy since it’s wash from the hill to the left. Not these “make me feel like Phil Collins” shoes, not today. I did bust my kitten there years ago on in-line skates. I can almost still feel it. :lol:

    Hmm if it's not working at all, not even when you play with the settings, I wonder if the vibration motor has somehow stopped working. I can see how occasionally it would drop out if the notifications stopped, but to not do anything at all...

    Id say mesaage/call garmin, see what they say. It might be a couple of years old but I hear their aftercare support is really good. I can't comment on out of warranty, but the support I had was pretty good.

    Is it an iPhone? There is a known issue where you very occasionally just have to completely turn both phone and watch OFF, then turn them back on, then do a sync, to get them talking again. It used to happen all the time but with more patches by Garmin it has gotten way better.

    Also, if it is an iPhone, check to make sure your privacy settings are all good. An IOS update not long ago changed the default settings to be more secure (a good thing) and that broke some apps so you have to loosen them up.

    If i is not an iPhone, toss it in the river and buy one? Joking... but yeah, contact Garmin.

    Well the Rock N Roll Marathon has been moved to Nov 20, 2020 OR I can defer it to 2021.

    At first I was super excited to still get to run this year but then I realized I will be in Nashville only a week later for Thanksgiving, depending on the virus situation. So it may make the most sense to just defer to 2021.

    And I just got word that my 50K is cancelled. Deferred to next year.


    So now what. I feel like ugly crying.

    Ugh. Sorry to hear that. It’s awful I know. Big running hugs

    Yeah sorry. :( That stinks. :(

    I was just telling my coach it feels like we are in the last stanzas of 99 bottles of beer on the wall. :(

    @mbaker566 Scooby is adorable! I'd be a challenge too, if I had been locked up in a small space for half of my life. You are doing a great thing. The corset looks great on you! Love the other pictures too. You've had a busy week.
    I would have to try the Samo! Sounds yummy.

    Love the pictures @skippysmom . Georgous place to run/hike. Hahaha about your running partner. Snapping turtles are so prehistoric looking.

    Yeah for getting out there @MegaMooseEsq ! It's hard after 2 months off.

    Great news @Scott6255 ! I was just wondering how she was doing this morning.

    @Elise4270 Hahaha Looking forward to after pictures to see what you decided to do.

    @Camaramandy648 Glad you were able to have such a great weekend. I'm not sure, but I think you can go into some of the MFB settings and reset your streak, if you so desire. Sorry to hear about your races being cancelled. I haven't heard about the AF HM yet. It's supposed to be in Sept.

    @T1DCarnivoreRunner Glad you are feeling better. Wish they could have been more specific, but hopefully you won't encounter the bad food again.

    @hamsterwheel6 Great run!!!

    I did NOT get to run today. I knew I was going to have to go to my cousin's apartment, do an errand for Relay For Life, and get groceries. I decided to take out early (8:45 am) thinking I would get back around 1 and have time to run this afternoon. Humm. No! For some reason, I didn't get home until 4pm. Not sure where the time went.

    I had forgotten to take water with me. Every store I went into, I would think, "You need to buy you a bottle of water." Every time I got back in the car I would think, "Shoot. I meant to buy a bottle of water." :lol: I finally got one at my last stop, but by then I was dehydrated and hadn't had anything to eat. So, I felt it was prudent to call today a rest day, drink some water, eat some food, and try again tomorrow.
