Isn’t this the crowd that bitches about participation trophies?

I had zero issues with either dose. Hubby’s arm hurt like he was hit with a club.

I switched apps after the first 2 faulty sensors b/c I was instructed to do so. Now, I do not have serial numbers for 2 sensors & cannot get them replaced. Abbott has killed people & is making it hard to get replacements or refunds. Also, not the first time they’ve recalled bad sensors. 🤯 Shame!

Abbott Reports 7 Deaths Linked to Glucose Sensor Problem Millions of FreeStyle Libre sensors may falsely indicate low glucose levels

Faulty glucose monitor sensors that have caused people to DIE. To replace your sensors, you MUST have serial numbers or they will not replace them. You have to either have the box or get it from the app, but the app only stores the last three serial numbers.

🙋🏻‍♀️ I am still shocked that I got a high back when I was running. (I started at 40 and ran three half marathons over a couple years.) I still looking longingly at runners, but I don’t run much anymore.

I’m in Oregon and Providence is charging such high rates that many doctors I know can’t afford to do business with them anymore. This will also hurt people.

What time and where are you coming from? I live in that area. Fridays are a real crapshoot unfortunately! If you come from SeaTac, area, just get outta dodge before rush hour and try to get through Vancouver by 2-3 if you can!

This sounds exactly like something my older brother and I would do. Love it!

Great show! I am watching Slow Horses. Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas are amazing.

Absolute travesty!

😬

Argh!!! I am so sorry.

Right? That used to be one month (or two) of releases!

Agreed. But this time feels different (to me) because of the mass exodus at Avon. Even through the “dead” periods, they kept going strong. I still have a decent fan base (less than it was even 5 years ago) but it’s super hard to grow.

When I looked at also-boughts for Bridgerton when it first came out, they weren’t histrom books but other books made into TV and movies. The people watching the show aren’t all book readers (by a lot, I’d say) and if they are, they read the book version of what they enjoyed on the screen.

I think it’s more was than is at this point. Can’t think of many big names publishing histrom there at the moment. Eloisa left, JQ doesn’t write new, and Sarah Maclean is writing contemporary. Megan Frampton and Lorraine Heath?

I’ve pivoted to historical mysteries and am doing well after more than a decade of indie histrom success. I am really enjoying the change actually!

But are fewer people buying them because that was a natural trend, or did NY cause this by choosing not to publish histrom because it’s not a booktok rage? My sales started to decrease with trad pub’s pivot to illustrated covers and when Avon cleared out most
of their histrom authors.

Thank you! Keep at it. 🐸

Damn, I love my city. ❤️🐸🇺🇸

Love my SAFE town. 🥰

OMG! I was just going to share this FANTASTIC book because Portland needs some love here too! It’s pretty terrifying to see our government bald-faced LYING about what’s happening here. This “crisis” is entirely manufactured and the danger is them. I am worried for my home town. 😟

Pretty accurate.

Absolutely. My brother found our long-lost cousins in Denmark. We’d lost touch 15 or so years earlier after their mother/our aunt died. Her brother/our father had died several years earlier. Then we met one of them on a television show about her life. True story! Love my cousins. ❤️

They’ve got pop-up tents on the roof like they’re having a tailgate. 🙄 You can see it from the freeway.

My current view from Chipotle at Portland State University. ICE is a couple miles from here. Beautiful day in downtown!

Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

This is what’s really happening in Portland at the ICE facility. This should enrage you regardless of party or ideology. Peaceful protest is who we are.

That would be lovely! The smell was nice with one or two flowers blooming. When there were five or six, it could be overpowering.

Came here to say this. I met her 20 some years ago. She is not a leftie, lol. (She is really nice!)

Extremely sweet. My husband just described the smell as if a honeysuckle and jasmine mated. 😜
