I don't particularly care for that forum but Montgomery county schools are great. Do you know where in Silver Spring? It's a big town. Its actually College Park. SS was where I was born oops. They haven't bought a house but he will work right across from University of Maryland so it will probably not be to far from campus. I was confused because she was using the realtor .com app and those school ratings and I think those aren't necessarily accurate. Also she wants in class learning and MD public schools have been slow to reopen. Im not sure if the charters there opened faster. I also wanted to add that there are some attitudes toward the Maryland Beltway counties that are rooted in nothing but racism. So I'm not surprised that realtor dot com made it sound like the schools aren't good.

willow I'm sorry for your loss. My grandma died in March and I got to see her the week before she died but my kids did not. I am very angry we missed so much time with her. T&P for your family.

Ruby update! Thank you guys for all of your good thoughts towards my girl. I talked to her vet - her bilirubin is going down, which means that the drugs are working to keep her immune system from killing her red blood cells. This is GOOD NEWS! Her PCVs are still down and went down from their last check, but PCVs can vary slightly anyway, so it's kind of hard to tell if they're being destroyed or if it's just a normal fluctuation. They asked if they can continue to keep her since we've almost reached the $$ limit that we initially imposed (I won't share how much but my wallet is crying). I authorized that they can keep her in case they need to do another transfusion. They're making an exit plan for her to possibly come home tomorrow afternoon! 😍 And for your viewing pleasure, here are more pics of my baby!

lemondrop, I'm so happy you got such positive news. And, yes, the amount I dropped on my boy kitty when he showed IBS symptoms - well, it's a good thing that I ate a lot of beans and rice that year. His food budget did exceed mine most months. MasterCard also was one of my biggest fans that year.

Trader Joe parking lot story from today. And we have a well known liquor store in our little plaza there as well. And it was the lunch hour, always a busy time there.
A goose decided to plop down in one of the parking lot aisles. My heart grew three times today as I watched SUV after car and SUV drive around the goose, very slowly and carefully. Ok, that's the law anyway, but no one beeped, no one seemed rushed, no one leaned out the window to yell at the goose....
As I left, I think the goose decided to return to the nearby park that has some nice manmade lakes and a plethora of other geese. At least I hope that's where he was flying.

My H wanted to order food from our local pricy Irish place last night and I was all, lol, sir, I think not. We'll be eating rice and avoiding our bank statement.

Everyone is welcome to smoosh their faces into hers! She'd love it. Little shit, she's obsessed with being the center of attention. Weird, but she also smells really good? Like our other dog Layla smells like burnt chocolate/ mole. My husband is literally in tears. She's his velcro dog. I have a regular monthly post on IG of photos of her literally sprawled out on top of him, like she can't have him be in the room and she's not touching him somehow. It's adorable and annoying, lol.

Halp. I have my first hair appointment in over a year today. To fringe or not to fringe? I think I am just going to stick with long layers (but not THIS long, lawl). Tell me what to do. Fringe in the summer is a pita, so I’d say no for now. In the fall, yes, because you would rock it! I agree with this. It's already so humid.

The MD state school board is mandating that schools be open in the fall in person, with a teacher in the classroom five days a week. It was announced yesterday. So there is your answer! MoCo and AACo have been SLLLLLLOOOOOWWWW to reopen, so they are getting shoved.

I have a TJs like 2 miles from my house and I have never once been there. Lol I don’t even live in your state and I’ve hit one up more than you! I stopped at a TJ’s in the cities as I was heading north to see my family. I got my parents into some of the frozen food options, so I made a special trip just to get it for them. *and got re-annoyed at the high wine prices in Utah after seeing my favorite wine five bucks cheaper there.
