@Suzierizzo1 I had chicken pox as a child. Like moms of the time, Mom tried to get her kids infected before we started school so that we did not miss any. My sister, brother and I were all infected. Our youngest sister had the chicken pox vaccine. We all have had the shingles vaccine.

@ZandiSussex Perhaps William is on the autism spectrum??? Or, even ADHD? Add in over indulgence -- results in an adult without boundaries and self-control.

@japan_nobunaga Our Constitution and our laws are important to us. Our way of looking at them has evolved significantly in the last 30 years. Some like the changes. Others do not and are trying to roll back the changes. We have had division before. We will resolve. But, it will be hard.

@Mimiiben1 5 Sq root of 49 is 7. The sq root of the sq root of 81 is 3. The sq root of 4 is 2. (7+3)/2 = 5.

@japan_nobunaga Based on @Grok conversion to Fahrenheit, we use 72-73 or 22-24C.

@boltedsage77 I think it is a lot of women, maybe even most. It is a history of doctors and other professionals brushing off our concerns, making us feel alarmist or overreacting all the time. I do not know how to fix it. Nurse practicioners seem to listen more.

@tanpukunokami My family did the tooth fairy. Santa Claus, too. Until about age 7-8 depending on the child. About 70 yrs ago, it was $0.25/tooth. When my kids were this age, it was $5/tooth. Tooth inflation!

There's an invasive tree growing across America, and it's rolling out the welcome mat for the worst new bug on the continent.

It's called tree of heaven, and the name is a lie. It came over from China in the 1780s, and now it's everywhere: fast, scrappy, growing up through pavement, poisoning the soil around it so natives can't compete. One female makes over 300,000 winged seeds a year. Crush a leaf and it smells like rancid peanut butter.

And it's the favorite food of the spotted lanternfly, the invasive planthopper now chewing through grapes, orchards, and hardwoods across the East. An invading tree, feeding an invading bug. Kill the tree, starve the bug.

Here's the part that trips everyone up. Do not just cut it down. Cutting it, even cutting and painting the stump, makes it panic and shoot up dozens of root suckers. One tree becomes a thicket.

The move that works: treat the standing tree. Hack a ring of cuts into the bark and apply triclopyr in late summer, and it carries the poison down into its own roots.

Never advice I love to give, but it's the best way to end this invasion, one tree at a time.

It appears that stopping a flesh eating parasite from spreading across the continent was, in fact, NOT waste, fraud, and abuse.

@lapseR8wx @AfgZoroastrian Just checked. Michigan does ban first cousin marriage.

@7070VICKI @MoonSoon During our inspection, they wanted to see where the child slept, identify who else lived in the home, looked in the frig, and who met the school bus.

@anishmoonka Colin Ferrel is right to do it now. Our son is 43. Not in the same position as James. But, needing significant help. We were a military family stationed overseas when he turned 21. Finding a place for him now is a real struggle. But, we are in our 70s. Love is not enough.

Does anyone know why Amazon @AmazonKindle removed library access from the "For You" tab? I used the icon every day. All of a sudden a working feature disappeared. Now, I need to either put a link on the browser to "Content" or find another way to access Library.

@JeromeAdamsMD It could be one contractor has better access to parts. Maybe one buys 5k widgets at $1 per widget and will use 2k on your project. The other contractor has less cashflow. Buys 2k widgets at $1.5 per widget. That is a legitimate business decision that can impact cost estimates.
