@ruby696 yes, do it!! I hope YH is on board!  Those little fluffy butt wiggles are the best!  Bonnie sounds sweet

Does anybody know of any watches/trackers out there that simply track your sleep cycles?  Maybe body temp too?  I know of the Ava bracelete but it's so darn pricey and honestly, I'm mostly curious about my sleep patterns because I am tired All. The. Damn. Time.  Have been for months now!  I could literally fall asleep at work or at a red light if I really let myself.  And I'm not KU and my thyroid levels are normal so I'm curious if I'm waking up a lot and not realizing it.  It would also be nice to know by body temp (if I wanted to).  I don't wear watches so I don't even know where to start to look haha

@ruby696 we signed up for a meat delivery service, it's 135lbs of meat, 15lbs of fish, 3 roasts, 3 whole chickens and a whack of frozen fruits & veggies. Supposed to last us a year. All free-range grass-fed meats from local family-owned and operated farms. Best meat we've ever had, even from the local butcher. But omg I was crapping my pants because it wasn't fitting in the freezer. We were told we needed 13 cubic feet, and the freezer is 18cu ft.... I had to put some of it in the basement freezer too but it worked. WHEW. 

Before:

After:

If you can imagine: Each of those brown boxes contains 5lbs of meat. There were 25 of them. I could only fit 9 boxes in the freezer so I had to pull everything out of the other boxes and stuff them somewhere lol.

@kiki047 Holy cow! Stagger my delivery please 😆 I can't even fit a frozen pizza nicely into my freezer

ruby696

@kiki047 Now I'm jealous over your meat/food delivery! That sounds amazing!

@kpearse99 Awww, your corgi was beautiful! So handsome! I'm sorry he passed away. I do not look forward to the day mine has to leave this world. I love her as much as I can every day to enjoy her while she is here❤

@kiki047 Wow thats alot of meat! Sounds wonderful to have a full freezer like that.

You guys, I'm so bummed about the king of random.  Like it's just a total shock.  I am down with random acts of kindness this week to honor him.  :(

emeraldduchess

@BusinessWife I had to google him, I didn't know who he was. So horrible what happened! Random acts of kindness is a beautiful way to honor him.

On a work trip and just realized I forgot to pack socks for today. What's better: yesterday's dirty socks or no socks? 🤔

inthewoods23

@jennifer_louise depends, what shoes are you planning on wearing?

tyrion_

@jennifer_louise Yesterday’s dirty socks! 

jennifer_louise

@inthewoods23 not sure what to call these, flats? I think I gotta wear the socks, I have a decent amount of walking to do...

mvt2003

@jennifer_louise Yep, no one will know, just wear yesterday's! Otherwise you'll sweat and get blisters!

jennifer_louise

Agreed! I just hope nobody can smell me! Thanks @mvt2003 @tyrion_

ottergirl81

@BusinessWife , @emeraldduchess King of Random Grant Thompson. I heard the name but had no idea who he was. So young too☹ I Googled him also because I was not sure who the "king of random" was. So sad.

b_1029

DH has randomly started wearing Axe...I feel like I’m back in middle/high school. 

inthewoods23

@jennifer_louise yeah, I'd go with yesterday's socks. As long as they were bunched up they probably had enough time to air out

@b_1029 MH has always worn Axe... Is that bad? I think he smells good!

And speaking of DH, his birthday was Tuesday and I said nothing here but I did change his age in my siggy yesterday 😅

b_1029

@inthewoods23 definitely not! It smells nice, I was just so confused that he started wearing it every day. Reminded me of my high school boyfriend haha. 

Eta did you guys do anything fun for his birthday?!

inthewoods23

@b_1029 no! I barely saw him on Tuesday 😩. Tuesdays are our robotics meeting nights so he was busy doing that til like 8:30. I made him a nice dinner though when he finally got home.

We've had really lame birthdays this year. He left for the robotics championship on my birthday so I only saw him in the morning that day.

shamrocandroll

YOU GUYS!!!  IT'S OVER!!! (see spoiler)  My life will magically go back to being normal now, right!?

*edited typo

emeraldduchess

@b_1029 years ago I had a fourth grader who must have bathed in Axe. We could always smell him before he even entered the classroom!

whitealbum29

@shamrocandroll one of the first things I thought when I got up this morning!!   Get ready for your fridge to suddenly start working better than it ever has before. Although I think it's officially August 2?

mvt2003

@shamrocandroll @whitealbum29 Don't shoot the messenger, but I think we have the shadow for 2 weeks still

Question - I was just gifted our firm’s wifi password by our office manager. I’m pumped to possibly not use up all of our data every month now, but are they going to be able to tell that I’m on TB from my phone? I don’t know technology things 

shamrocandroll

@bows22 If they're screening that kind of stuff, then yes, it's possible.  That said, my company can technically track all that stuff, but the only time I've ever heard of them actually doing it is if it's interfering with their work or they're doing questionable things.  

bows22

There are people at my firm with way too much time on their hands so it does concern me, maybe I should disconnect and take my chances with our data

dpchickens

@shamrocandroll Ugh, every time someone mentions Mercury in Retrograde being over, the gemini in me is always like "So THAT'S why my life has sucked recently..."  *sigh*

shamrocandroll

@dpchickens Solidarity.  Fellow Gemini who has has a pretty sucky life recently. 

mvt2003

@shamrocandroll @dpchickens 3rd Gemini over here who has literally been counting the days for this retrograde to be done! 

whitealbum29

Oh...so I just learned that mercury retrograde affects certain signs more? Gemini and Virgo b/c they are ruled by Mercury? I'm a Pisces....does this mean...I'm just a hot mess in general and I can't blame the stars?

shamrocandroll

@whitealbum29 So I am by no means an expert on this, but I think it depends on which constellation Mercury is passing through during the retrograde.  So different retrogrades affect different astrological signs differently.  Supposedly.  Or something like that.  

kiki047

Ruh roh, I'm a Virgo. I don't know what any of this means (and maybe I don't want to?). 

tyrion_

I have to go bathing suit shopping tonight and I am not excited. Ugh. 

inthewoods23

@whitealbum29 I'm a hot mess too but I'm a Taurus.

What does the Mercury retrograde mean for me? I hope good things are coming! 🤞

mvt2003

@whitealbum29 I just saw on FB that new episodes of You Must Remember This are coming this fall!!!! 

ottergirl81

No clue what any of the Mercury Retrograde stuff is but hey @inthewoods23 I'm a Taurus also, so good things coming to us I hope!

tyrion_

Bathing suit shopping was a bust. Why? Because Target lost power while I was partially naked in the fitting room. 10/10 do not recommend.
