We are getting some flurries this evening, but they are suppose to stop by 1130pm, and it says less than an inch for tomorrow.

I feel so bad for the employees. It does make me wonder why so many brands can stay in business and why some cannot survive. Where do people buy kid clothes from? Department stores are dead. The malls are dead. For little kid clothes Gymboree was great. High quality items that I could pass down and they always looked new. The sales were always amazing too. I wish they could have just become an online shop.

You know, that person has only been CEO for 2 months. That was enough time for her to figure out the business would not survive?

Better than nothing.

Ha! Who takes a job as CEO for 2 months? There's more to this backstory than what meets the eye!!

She was on the board of directors since 2017. Granted, I know nothing about business, and she has an MBA from Wharton, but 2 months? They couldn’t find an investor? Didn’t Gap have issues years ago and survive? Guess this really bugs me.

She was probably dreaming, but better safe than sorry.

Thankfully, that is definitely the consensus...!!!
I’ve often wondered what babies, especially ones that young, could be dreaming about...

I could live without it! Hubby and I were taking a walk yesterday, and I was thinking about how I'm walking in January, in my tennis shoes, no putting on boots yet, or trudging thru the snow on the sidewalks that hasn't been removed yet. I'm ok with it!

 

[donaldtoo]

I'm glad she's okay!! Babies are so weird. I remember freaking out the first time my baby stopped breathing for what seemed like wayyyyy too long. When I called the pediatrician he was like oh no, that's totally normal, babies just do that.

Thank you!!!
Hahaaa...!!!!! Babies are definitely full of surprises, anyway!!!
It was the combination of things that concerned them, especially the rolling back of her eyes.
As I posted earlier, we never experienced any of that with our 3 kiddos, even 1lb. 4oz. miracle premie, special needs DS. We were told there could possibly be seizure issues, but, at the time they were more concerned about possible heart rate and apnea problems. We hooked him up to a monitor every night at bedtime for the first year he was home. I took that monitor to be recalibrated once a month, as, of course, both his heart rate and breathing slowed as he grew. Towards the end of each month-long period that monitor would go off so often that we barely got any sleep. But, even though he never had an event of either, disconnecting it during the night was just not an option...if he would have ever had an actual event and we weren’t alerted to it by the alarm because we disconnected the monitor, we would have NEVER been able to forgive ourselves.

Don't settle for just one cardiologist -- you need the best team money can buy!

I know a lot of words in different languages. None of which can be shared here

I know a few myself...in Czech, Spanish, and German...

I go shopping most of the time before 9 on the weekends to avoid people.

Although I dislike mornings, I can get behind this for the avoiding people part.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

The weather forecast is getting worse for here. Driving home from outside DC late Saturday afternoon should be a treat. It will be raining down there, but I just worry about this mountain pass the road goes over. Hoping there won't be much accumulation by the time I am there. The rain slow line is pretty close to the where I will be.

Have you thought about just getting a hotel and staying in DC until Sunday? That area is supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow, but then it will be all rain by Sunday.

 

[donaldtoo]

That is one heck of a beautiful church!

Thank you, it is indeed!!!
Besides mass, we’ve been there many times for baptisms, weddings, and funerals.
Or, as one of our parish priests once put it, for family or friends being “...hatched, matched, or dispatched.”...!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

She eats Buffalo Blue no recall for that, but good thinking. If it was the food It might have been the treats, The return normal treats they were Star Wars ones that we bought her at Disneyland. Now she’s back to her treats from the farmers market

Maybe those treats were from the dark side...?!





Seriously though, glad Kapono is still feeling better and back to her old self...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

And i know where to dispose of the evidence ...

The English Channel...?

 

[donaldtoo]

Oh yes... us Midwestern kids are tough! (plus kids born in the 70's are tough in general I feel)

Us kiddos born in the early 60’s (also during the Cuban Missle Crisis ) are probably even tougher...!!!
