Oh we had books written by professors too. They submitted their required list, the school buys the books, then charged us like $250 or something. It was so long ago I can't even remember the cost. I'm sure it's more money now. One class we had to get like 10 books and we didn't even use half of them 🙄

Tha ks @shanaber. I knew I had seen something about the 3 digit number but couldn't find anything. Must have been using bad google terms. My undergrad rented books. I seriously don't know why more colleges don't do this. We paid a flat fee in our tuition then went to the book store to get all the books. This also helped to…

Aren't they trying to make 311 like the 911 for suicide hotline? I swear I saw news about it.

@shanaber I've been wondering about the long term effects for a while. We just don't know much. I feel like we're going to find damage down the road from this virus. I hope I'm wrong. I just don't get how people can be so cavalier about this with so many unknowns. Wow that is so sad about the momma dog. The link didn't…

@ddmom0811 AZ has a tentative 8/17 date for schools. Our govenor had no response after the supposed call from pence which means he'll probably give in to the WH demands like he did opening up. The school system is like that would be a bad idea and teachers are seriously concerned. AZ already has a hard time getting…

Oh @ddmom0811 I used an old toothbrush to clean out my Garmin & it seems to be charging better!

@elise4270 I hate cleaning. I'm slowly wearing DH down. Got a landscaper so next up is house cleaning company. I mostly need someone to do the bathrooms. I hate cleaning the shower and it makes my wrist hurt so I put it off. Then it gets worse and the cycle starts again.

@shanaber I'm staying home and yelling at the stupid people. Well, not really yelling at but bitching about them. Our second camping site was canceled so no Northern California and cooler temps for us. We decided to go to the north rim of the Grand Canyon instead. So we will get 90s instead of 110s. Lol We will probably do…

@bearly63 woo! Congrats to DD!

@elise4270 when I first read that I thought you were eating pizza in the shower 🤣 Go easy on yourself. You have a lot going on. Your house can be a little dirty. How often does everyone weigh? I was doing 1st of the month then every Sunday. Should I be doing it daily?

As someone with celiac disease I've been told to always take my own food because hospitals are bad at gluten free meals. It always struck me as odd. You'd think the hospital would be the one place that understands dietary needs.

My middle name is also Marie. My grandparents always called me Maria and it drives me nuts. @elise4270 Did Alex back his photos up anywhere? I have mine automatically go to google photos and samsung.

I think Rie Rie is similar to re re which is a shortened word for a derogatory term for mentally disabled. I remember as a kid hearing other kids call people re re as an insult.

@shanaber Thanks! Those look like good dog recipes! I'll definitely think Shadow would all of them lol

@shanaber Is the cake edible for humans too? I may need the recipe for Shadow's 3rd bday either way. ETA although we would never be able to put it in front of her like that. She'd gobble it in a second 🤣

Mine is the fenix 5s and I noticed the charging issues a week or so ago. Wonder if it was a software update? I vaguely remember seeing it had updated. I ordered this September 2019 new from Garmin. It shouldn't have issues yet lol

I feel like my garmin is charging slower than it used to. I also have to plug and unplug it a few times. It looks like there might be dirt/skin in the watch/plug. Tried a qtip but it didn't really get in. I'll figure out something another time. I've got *kitten* going down at work.

@Avidkeo There's a few different ones. And having a mini band or hip circle helps too. Here's few exercises https://www.sweat.com/blogs/fitness/why-glute-activation-is-so-important If you Google glute activation there's tons of articles.

Sundays are usually my 3rd lifting day but I think after doing a half today I'll move it to Monday.

@quilteryoyo I was laughing at myself. It was like what the heck? @Avidkeo That is exactly what happened! Good thing the water helped wash away some of the sticky. I had to wait for my hands & mouthpiece to dry before I could really get it fixed. @avidkeo Maybe you need to do some glute activating exercises before you run?…

@elise4270 I wanted the garmin for ease but it was twice as much and only available in white. And like a week to get it. Impatience won out. 🤣 I finally got a half marathon done. I tried a HoneyStinger ginsting gel. Not a fan. While I was trying to choke it down & sip water my mouth piece came off my vest and water was…

Tried to weigh myself today. Scale kept saying step off and set up and flashing low battery. Googled. Apparently after about 4 years when you change the batteries the Fitbit Aria will freak out. Mine is 5 years old and I changed batteries like a week or so ago. Did a little research and appears withings+ is highly rated &…

@Elise4270 Hawaiian is finally on the Duolingo app. I've added it for after I master Norwegian 🤣 @elise4270 @shanaber In AZ you can grow personal pot plants if you have the card & a certain height fence. Can't recall all the details. Our cards are about $200 and there's doctors that just do that. You are supposed to be…

@shanaber It's in the national forest near Kings & Sequoia Canyon. We had one in the national park but they canceled it a few weeks ago. We made the second one to make sure we had a campground. I am not one for those first-come places. That would give me way too much anxiety. This was supposed to be the second half of our…

@bearly63 Yes, it's a book. There's a test to do to find your deficiencies with suggestions to help fix the problem areas. This is the link to Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/1620871599/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I've also pulled some exercises from this book:…

@shanaber No shower for 5 days? Wow. Dry shampoo might work. For me it seems to only be good for half a day but I have really greasy hair. Glad everything went well. I would guess 60 is just where they start most people at. I thought they can adjust remotely for all the new PM. @Avidkeo Great job resisting the urge to…

Yesterday ended up a decent day overall. Ended pretty much at goal (8 calories left LOL). I did a short walk/run with the dog in the morning, weights at lunch, paced the house on my 15-minute breaks, and did an Anatomy of Runners stretches/exercises. I've been trying to add some exercises to help improve running (Tues -…

@Avidkeo Could you have a protein shake or water to sip while you drive? If you have a chocolate shake it could hit that sweet spot but be a healthier option until you can break the snicker craving. Here we have Premier Protein at Costco. They are 160 cals and 30g of protein. They aren't bad and can hit the I need…

I was thinking the same thing about the aprons.

@elise4270 it went out the window yesterday. Today's a new day though and I packed myself a healthy breakfast and lunch for at work. I'll also get my walks in. Our rain usually comes from California. If it rains in LA we usually get it a day or two later. I'm really trying to learn Norwegian. It's a challenge because I…
