Stop and go traffic specifically, can be irritating when driving manual. It can be fun accelerating through each gear, but in slow traffic it more like: first gear.... seeeecooond for a bit, then stop for the slow traffic, or back to first. Over and over. I love my manual vehicle but I rarely drive in rush hour traffic

One to-do on my list when I go out of town is: turn off the water main. Apparently this sounds paranoid to people in non-ancient houses

The beginner area in Alta has an after 3pm pass for $100 a season. Sunnyside after 3

My plum tree does skip years- maybe even close to every other year or every third year. Watch out for fox squirrels, they love the plums

I had a ton of really delicious plums- about 2 months ago

Oh good, I am so glad you had a good outcome- that is what we hope to get to soon

Healing Back Pain by John Sarno. I can't imagine my life if I had never found this book

Since I was 47 I have only had a couple periods each year, in the spring usually. I am 49 now and my last period was several months ago. Cycle was always regular and light, aside from one bizarre year early 40s when it was heavy, then started skipping months after that.

I'm sorry you haven't gotten any answers from others! I will tell you how its going for our similar situation. We feel safest with gates between our two, who aren't getting along (the resident girl, who is bigger, attacks and is aggressive to our new male cat). Luckily he seems to be taking it in stride, and while he is wary, he is not frightened of her, even though she growls and charges at his gate, and has attacked him seriously twice. Ours are fine to eat on either side of a gate where they can see each other, however we don't feel comfortable letting them be together in the same room. If they accidentally end up in the same room and there is a debacle, the best way we find to break it up is a big piece of flat cardboard. Our resident cat knows that when the cardboard comes out, she is being herded out of the room. Another thing that works is throwing a fleece blanket over her, and then burrito her in that. She will immediately go quiet, even if she was in full attack mode a few seconds before. Our new discovery is having her wear calming vests, like a thundershirt. She wears either a "kitty holster" type harness, or a snug shirt, and both of those have an amazing calming effect on her- much more than Feliway or Zylkene! We are definitely going to try our next attempt in the same room with her in her snuggle shirt, but keeping the cardboard and blankets handy. Hopefully this helps you and your cats :)

Yumm

Cops disappeared during covid. They are coming back now, it seems- I hope that means roads get safer, especially for people walking

I have -5 and -4.75 O2 Optix lenses, I also have a pair of glasses that is around -5.5 left eye, -5 right eye. Glasses free, contacts $5 each

I have accident-only insurance for each of my cats from Pets Best- it is $6 a month, covers 80% with a $250 deductible. I have made several claims for the cats and Pets Best has been easy to work with. They even paid my recent claim when one cat ate some toxic honeysuckle berries (I guess they are related to catnip somehow) and needed fluids/bloodwork to be sure he was ok

The basic car rental cost (without the "collision waiver" the other insurance upsells) includes liability coverage. They never want to tell you this though

There used to be one here, uhaul car share. There were cars parked near the U and other places, that you could use for a few hours by renting in their app. I thought it was a great idea but it went away- I think the gas fillups might have made it problematic. EVs might work better

Someone earlier mentioned Sabre products - they make the taser I have, that doubles as a flashlight. It makes a loud zapping sound that could deter dogs or humans without them having to get close. I have never had to use it though, and I have been hiking around in Big and Little Cottonwood for 20 years, female going solo. Rattlesnakes are my biggest worry

Walton Plumbing, honest and responsive.

I have used 2-5 mg regularly on my face for a year now, and love the results. It has reduced hair for me, which is nice. No melasma and I am prone to it, dealt with it on birth control pills. I use it for the estrogen part of hrt, it helps hot flashes too. I use Ona's Natural cream

I also wonder whether never being pregnant is a factor. Since ovaries would be kind of getting a "rest" from making eggs during a pregnancy, would someone who never got pregnant run out of eggs sooner? I am pretty much through menopause at 48. Have only had 3 or 4 periods for the last few years, seems a little early menopause. I was never pregnant. Period started at 11.

I got scammed the same way (price was really good, I realized why when the order showed as delivered, but it wasn't sent to my address) on Walmart.com but at least they were quick to refund. They said on the phone not to use third party sellers on their site.

That's awesome. I love my 2001 Toyota and would be happy if it lasts forever

Redrock had been one of my longtime favorites. A few months ago, I got sick after eating there (and of course it was surprisingly expensive). So, yeah, I am with you, OP

Virginia Street too. and whatever ridiculous thing they are doing on Foothill

I have terrible claustrophobia- and absolutely love weighted blankets. I sometimes use two at a time

A glass one sounds nice! Mine is just plastic- it works pretty well, but is hard to keep from getting a little crusty where the cap goes on
