Aww, thanks for the Polly love! She's firmly in the camp of "I'm pretty, and I know it". She's so sweet, but the poor thing has some issues with food security. She did not have a good start in life, but I hope she knows she always has a home with us and will never want for anything ever again. She's currently hanging out *in* Mr. Six's hoodie. While he's wearing it π Scarlett--Blake is beautiful!!

I found this article from November 2018. Upon further inspection, Yahoo covered it as well. I know little about Tess, even less about Natalie, and I loathe Twit as a human being. None of them deserve these messages or to live in fear of their lives. It's frightening to think about a person having that much hate for three people they don't (presume to) know. I hope this man was found by authorities and the incident was handled appropriately.

Thank you so, so much! The White Marsh location is the closest to us. Having one rear tire is a problem though π I will pass the info along! I did not know you could end your membership like that. Good info to have-thank you!! We have a membership to BJs, which is ultra-close to where we live. Costco isn't far, but it's kinda out of the way, if that makes any sense. Thankfully, our second vehicle is a Subaru Crosstrek, so if the weather turns to pot overnight, he can just drive mine. I plan my outings very carefully, so being at home with his car is fine. I can always Uber if it's 100% necessary. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Miss Polly would like to say thank you as well!!

Thank you so much! It's a 2018. I finally got him to give more info so I can get specific item numbers. The fronts are different than the rears, just to make things more difficult. The rears are item #1059813, and the fronts are item #1058177. They are Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. Thank you again!!

@Christina87, I have been worried about you!! I was just going to post tonight asking if anyone had heard from you. I hope you feel better soon β₯ I have a very odd favor to ask. Mr. Six got himself a Mustang GT back in September, and because it has more "oomph" than other vehicle we ever owned, he found out that he can spin out quite easily. The first time was on a 90 degree day on dry pavement. Fun times. Needless to say, since we live in Baltimore, our winters can be a little icky at times, and he needs winter tires. He found out that Costco sells them, but you need a membership/login to even see the prices. We don't have a membership, but he wants to see how much the tires are before we spend/waste money to join. I just need the price, nothing ordered. For your troubles, I will post a kitty pic for you to enjoy π Thank you!

@LATETOTHEPARTY-I am so sorry to hear of Katie's passing. You have written a wonderful tribute to your sister. You and your family will be in my thoughts in the coming days and weeks. We will always be here when you are ready β₯

Mr. Six got the 11 Pro Max a few weeks ago. It was $1249 before trade in. Apple has two ways to finance. You can apply for the Apple Card, which will earn you 3% back on Apple purchases, but the interest rate starts at ~16%. They also have a credit card that will give you 0% interest for 24 months. For families that tout the "correct" & simple way of living, they seem to enjoy the finer things. Too bad they can't take that money and get new personalities (or in Michelle's case, a backbone).

@RESCUE MAMA, please know you can reach out here anytime when and if you're ready. You did an amazing and hard thing just by quitting. That, in and of itself, is a difficult journey and one you should be proud of. Take each day as it comes, and try to allow your family to be there for you. You already have a new family here to support you any way we can. Our little group is spread out through the US, and if you feel safe enough, please share what area you live in. Be kind to yourself, and please know you are in my thoughts.

I went one time in a last-ditch effort to control my pain in 2009. I will *never* do it again. Not only did it intensify my pain, I ended up with a migraine that put me in bed for 3 days. I didn't care about the back pain once that migraine hit. It was awful. I know some people swear by it, but I can safely say, without a doubt, it is not for me.

Thank you all for the travel suggestions! I wanted to surprise him with Penn & Teller tickets for his 40th next summer, so we're looking into Vegas. He will have a professional conference to attend next September, which would be in New Orleans, and I might tag along for that one. Hawaii would be awesome, but the flights would do me in. I feel like I would get as far as L.A. and just be done. Key West sounds intriguing. I'm going to do some research on that one! I would be happy sitting on a sandy beach with a drink in hand. At this point, I think going anywhere for a few days together would be welcome and very much needed. But I'll go wherever there's good food! Thanks all π€ Christina-I hope you're feeling better soon! Doodlebug-Scout is the perfect name for your little guy. Congrats again!

From People, the memorial service isn't until October 24th in Michigan.

@doodlebug--he's so precious! Names can be tough with pets. I have been given some great advice from you fabulous folks, and I could use some again. Our anniversary is coming up later this month (#17). We were not able to go on a honeymoon since Mr. Six was still in college. He was 22 and finishing up his Bachelor in Engineering after already receiving 2 associate degrees. I turned 23 two days before our wedding, and we were just not in the right place to take a honeymoon. Since my birthday (and subsequently, our anniversary) is in a few weeks, he wanted to do something since this will be my 40th birthday. All was well until he realized he has a 4-day conference in Pittsburgh (we're in Baltimore) during the same time frame. We did discuss waiting until next year-Feb/March since we could have more wiggle room. My question is: where would you suggest we go? I'll will write down the full list and research each option. I would prefer somewhere they didn't require a passport, but I think we have enough time to get them , if needed. Send the Six family away on a much-belated, way overdo vacation/honeymoon!! Thank you!! Oh, and just a few minor things--no snowy weather. We can get that if we stay at home. The snow/cold is what we want to escape π

You can get a copyright strike on YouTube for posting a video that has music playing in the background. Something as simple as walking through a store where music is playing can get a video demonetized. I used to watch a reselling channel, and one of the Goodwill locations the woman would frequent would have their music blaring so damn loud that she had numerous issues with YT. When she would edit her videos, she would have to put free domain music over top of her narration to drown out the sound. If Twit doesn't follow their rules, she will get busted. Quickly.

I'm surprised it took this long for Jill to jump into MLM territory. Those hun bots should be after her like a fly on poo. I'm spending my afternoons going down the rabbit hole of all things MLM. It's some scary shit π²

You know your heart, feelings, and mental health better than anyone else. If you truly feel like you need to take a break, please know we will be here when you come back. If you're just looking for someone to chat, feel free to send me a PM. I'm home 6.5/7 days of the week. I am married, but we don't have children, so I have nothing pressing, and I can just listen. Just wanted to give you something to think about. Hugs, my dear β₯

Found this link on the PCOSAA Conference website. There is no possible way she could last through a 45 minute class. She probably required that these nice people mention her "dance career" in the blurb. I can easily see why this could be a low-attendance event simply based on the location. McLean is an incredibly nice (and insanely expensive) area to even visit. It's 20 minutes outside of DC for starters. There are two huge shopping centers, one of them being all high-end retailers with a hotel attached. And, it's where Capital One is headquartered. (Total wife brag here, but my husband is a professional engineer, and he's on the CO job, so he's down there a lot). Their Targets look like Saks New York! I can see people who may have wanted to attend simply not able to due to the cost of staying.

Rabbittron-I am so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my thoughts. Doodlebug-thanks so much for the reply. I got sick Monday, so I'm crossing my fingers. Thankfully, there were no babies, and I tried to keep my distance as much as possible. It was a long day, but I'm glad we went. Thanks again!

Welcome @DecafPlease I hope you enjoy posting here. I'm tried a handful of groups on the board, and this clan is the best. The Duggars did something right in bringing us all together. If you need a good laugh or a shoulder to cry on, please don't hesitate to post. We are all over the US, and you may already know someone! I was wondering if I could borrow @doodlebug expertise for a second. I'm getting over my cold, and I'm feeling about 75% better. I'm still coughing, sore throat is completely gone, and I'm still dealing with some stuffiness. I was finally able to semi-pop my ears this evening after helping Mr. Six wash the new car. We have the family party tomorrow in another state, roughly 3 hour drive for us. I just want to make sure I'm no longer contagious. There will be children, but I want to say the youngest is roughly 8-10. I've been a part of his family for 23+ years, and I don't want to be known as the one who gave grandma the cold that killed her.

9/25: Ghosted: Why Are My Dates Disappearing? Brittney, who says she's been ditched without warning eight times, wants to know why she scares every man away; Diane and her mother say Diane's live-in boyfriend ghosted them six months ago. My guess is he got tired of dealing with her mother and bolted, rightfully so.

@LOOKEYLOO, I am so sorry. Your family will be in my thoughts. I swear, I saw the past few days coming at me for the last few weeks. I deal with year-round allergies, but if I'm going to get sick, it's either September or October. Sure enough, Monday, I woke up with a sore throat. I took advantage of Target's drive-up service and stocked up on random items to get me through. The timing couldn't be worse though. We're supposed to be attending Mr. Six's grandmother's 90th birthday party on Saturday out of state. I'm hoping and praying I feel better by then. Last weekend was pretty cool though. He got his (current) dream car. He had a 2016 Mustang, and he now has a 2018 Mustang GT in royal blue. It is so freaking fun to drive too! Seeing him that happy made me happy. I'm off to buy stock in Puffs.

Between flipping houses and keeping a watch over Joy's fertility calendar, Austin's a busy man. Perhaps he came home early because duty (other than exploiting victims of a natural disaster) called. Priorities. And stuff.

Whitney Thore: So She Thinks She Can Dance
sixlets replied to Meredith Quill's topic in My Big Fat Fabulous Life
His name does not show up in the record. It's solely in Twit's. I do believe he funded the money to purchase it though. -
It's so funny to see the Maybelline Baby Skin mentioned by emma. I found that at my neighborhood grocery store yesterday on clearance for $1.99. I tried it with the FitMe over top of it, and it looks like I got a winning combo for less than $8.50 π€
-
Thanks for mentioning the FitMe! I ended up with it in the lightest shade Target had, and it works great. It was only $5.99, and I'm cheap. I took a peek at Wet 'n Wild, but I just can't support them as a business anymore. I also didn't have it in me to go to Sephora. It's in a 4-story mall with garage parking only, and I had no desire to deal with it. The FitMe should last until this time next year when I'll restock!
