The second year is harder

My son just left after a summer home from his 1st year of college. This year just hit so much harder. I know how lonely it is now having him gone. I'm a single Mom, live alone. I do have friends and a boyfriend, but it's not the same as having son around and being a Mom.

Thanks for listening

Place to walk

I usually walk on the Kal-Haven trail but it is really buggy. Any ideas on where to walk that is not full of bugs and totally in the bright sun Edit to say: I don't want to be in the bright sun if possible

Aspen Dental is a POS

I had two crowns done on 5/2025. I paid my co-pay upfront. Apparently Aspen Dental didn't bill my insurance, Delta Dental, in the allowable billing period. Now they are going after me for the part the insurance would pay.

So how much time is this going to take to get cleared up or will I just end up having to pay for it?

Apparently now you just don't need to know your policy, you have to make sure that the billing dept. at the dentist is also doing their job.

Edit to say the crowns were done in 5/25 not 5/26

Regrets?

For anyone who had bio kids after becoming a stepmother is there anything that you look back on doing now that you regret? Did having bio kids change your perspective on anything?

MLive Subscription Rate

I was paying 12.00 a month for MLive. This month I got charged 15.00. I don't remember seeing an email about an increase.

I looked it up, and the basic rate seems to be 10.00

Any idea why I am being charged 15.00?

Walking on non running days

I am reading one of Jack Galloway's book and he talks about walking on non running days. How many of you do that?

Finished but so slow

I finished the program but am so slow I am too embarrassed to run a race. I am only running about 1.5 miles in 30 minutes.

I went back to week 6 and tried to run faster, but I quit because I am so slow. How can I get faster so I don't feel like a loser

Tips for running on the treadmill

I hate doing it, but it's too hot and humid to run outside right now. My friend told me to put it at a .5 incline.

Any other tips?

Consumers Energy

This isn't Kalalamzoo specific but I was reading comments on an MLive article on Consumers Energy.

Almost everyone hates them. People are struggling. Apparently a three person board approves every increase they ask for. They just asked for the largest one yet.

I emailed Julie Roger's and Sean McCann and asked if the legislature can do anything...crickets

So nothing can be done and we will just have to figure out how to pay more every year?

Looking For Brianna that used to work at Supercuts on Stadium

She was the best curly haircut I ever had. I know it's a long shot but if anyone knows where she went, I would appreciate it

Flaring

I have been on Dupixent for about 2 years. All of a sudden I am flaring like I did before. I am being careful with the products I'm using. Did anyone find it stopped working and what did you do?
