  1. Thanks! I'm looking into this right now. I'll let you know how it goes.
  2. Anyone ever had to shop for a stairlift for a parent/older relative? My MIL is looking for one and the company which came in with an estimate was at $10K for one which curves around a landing and $7500 for two straight ones which meet on a landing. Wanted to see if these were outrageous prices or not.
  3. Down in Short Pump for daughter's softball tournament. It's really nice down here. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
  4. I've watched Wonder Woman and Soul and will probably watch Space Jam. I liked it.....and having a 144 inch projector screen to watch on does make the experience better.
  5. Just saw that the Women's Triathalon Bronze Medal was won by a woman who went to North Carroll High School! Proud of Katie Zaferes!
  6. trying to get to pismo beach? :-) Bugs Bunny was the best.
  7. I'll have 2 away at college this year and am looking forward to getting the wife who teaches and daughter back in school. I'm working from home permanently now, which I'm still adjusting to and the quiet makes it easier to focus.
  8. I only recall traffic flow right by the exit at the stadium, but I don't see why they wouldn't let those who are parked closer to the arena to leave from the "backdoor" onto Park avenue. You probably could call an ask in order to plan ahead. I do think that since the park stays open later now, the issue was with park traffic and concert traffic leaving at the same time....causing a cluster.
  9. My wife took my daughter to see Taylor Swift there and it took about 2 hours to get out of the lot. Since then we have been season pass members for the park and would go up for the day during a concert event and be able to park right by the stadium. Last time we left during the last encore song, could still hear the song as we were driving away and were out in less than a minute. If you want to go that route, google the setlist for the GNR tour and you will get a sense of what is playing that night and the order they will play itm and you can anticipate the encore and jet as it starts. :-)
  10. That is one of Michael Keaton's best lines ever...and he has a lot.
  11. I think @mappy is on the eastern shore today. She should be prime though for storms down in Salisbury though......:-)
  12. Same in my house. 4 of us are feeling as if allergy season is back. I know it sounds odd, but I was wondering if maybe the trees were causing allergies again because to the cicada damage.
  13. Here too along the I-70 corridor.
  14. It's amazing at how ignorant some people are. I really hope that others didn't get in trouble after you left, but I bet many tried to cross through the water.
  15. Was down at Bachman park in AA county for my daughter's softball tournament. We were able to get 2 games in and then is let loose. The southern end of the storm hit us and looks like we got well over 1.5 inches waiting the rain out until the called it for the day. Before the rain...it was miserably hot and humid.
  16. So sorry to hear this. Sending thoughts and prayers your family's way.
  17. Sincere Congratulations! You have worked hard to get where you are and leaving on your own terms. I'm happy for you!
  18. I bet you that he gets so bored in a few weeks that he gets a job as a Wal-Mart greeter.
  19. I know a few single family homes which are rented around me. Nothing fancy, but I think they are around. Might make sense to use a real estate agent to look for rentals for you to make the job a little easier.
  20. My wife is a teacher, which is not a great profession for anxiety. She is a catholic school teacher and was in the classroom for the entire year teaching virtual and in person students. this only added to the pressure to perform. She handled it well, but IMHO she doesn't get paid 1/4 of what she should for the time she puts in, not only during the school year, but also over the summer preparing for the next year. @WinterWxLuvr, I'm sure you feel the same way.
  21. I totally agree. I personally don't have an issue with anxiety, but my wife and son both do. Unless you see it in action and how it shuts a perfectly functional human being down, you can't comprehend what it can do. I agree that breathing strategies are good to help bring someone out of the anxious state. My son also was given a strategy to go to his happy place by think about the things which take him there. That strategy was really good when he was younger. @mappy - Know that all of us have your back and know that you will knock those presentations out of the park!
  22. I made the mistake of watering the flowers last night at 9:30....20 minutes later a quick pop-up shower formed and then turned into that amazing light show. Maybe I should water the flowers this afternoon to spurn the storms for the late afternoon/evening :-)
  23. Does that mean that any PRs from last night have an asterisk like those wind aided times in track and field?
  24. I have had 2 of the Char Broil "infrared" grills over the past 16 years. I have not burned any food at all with either of them. THe pnly problem is keeping them clean. you really need to break them down after each use, which can be a pain.
