I have so many questions but I’ll try to keep them as succinct as possible.

1. What was the process like? What kind of home do they want you to be in (does a condo work? I assume it would need to be 2 bed minimum)?
2. Is it a problem if you’re a single woman?
3. Do you get to have a preference for the age or sex of the child you want to adopt? Or the circumstances they are coming from? (I.e a pregnant teen who is just too young vs addiction/mental health issues with the birth mom)?
4. If you adopted, what are the main challenges or things that you wish you considered before going into it?
5. Are you happy you chose to do it on your own or do you wish you had a partner?
6. What are things you didn’t expect about the process?

Thank you in advance!!!

I know sweat can be affected by things like stress, hydration, cycle, etc. I’ve noticed some articles of clothing or bedding of mine, if not deeply washed (like an oxy-clean soak), they will smell almost like gasoline after being washed and put away. I’ll go to pull an item from the closet a month later and it has that distinct gasoline sweat smell. I don’t think it’s stress, but maybe it could be? I’m wondering if this is a metabolic issue. I do have insulin resistance. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Salina* is making an embarrassment of the drag community on big brother.

(Big brother Spoiler)

He’s off to a terrible start on the show because he’s using one of the female players emotions as a tool to manipulate and betray her. He cried to her multiple times about his fears and discomfort being in a house full of straight people and being outside of his bubble. She opened up to him and talked about her son who is gay and took him under her wing. Then he used that as an opportunity to back stab her.

This is only one example of how he’s giving off misogynistic vibes. There are SO many ways to play the game and it’s very telling that he chose this.

•Let them wear comfy clothes sometimes
•Get more showers and bathrooms so the girls have their own bathroom
•More challenges that show them doing real life date things like going to a movie, karaoke, going into the town centre, farmers market, cooking together, shopping, going to a concert, clubbing, etc
•More challenges that force them to actually be vulnerable and work together like the karaoke challenge
•challenges that test how well they know each other
•Fashion show for charity (brands donate money to have the islanders wear their clothes and then the best couple win a date or something)
•Girls spa day in town
•Let the guys plan their dream date and have production make it happen
•Islanders should all be 25+
•Let them have 3 drinks instead of 1
•Bring back speed dating in the first 2-3 weeks
•Bring in puppies or kittens and have them take care of them for the day instead of the baby challenge
•More challenges that involve the pool or ocean or beach
•The season should be a minimum of 8 weeks instead of 5

Hi all,

If I want to see aquatic life, varieties of plants and animals native to the islands, what programs, courses, or locations would you recommend?

A focus on supporting Indigenous Hawaiians is also a must for me!

Thank you so much in advance!
