Does anyone take their knives to get sharpened nearby, and if so where?

My knives are very sad. I saw Heinens had knife sharpening one day this summer but I missed it.

Tried to search the sub to see if it has been discussed before but did not find anything.

Thanks in advance :)

I saw an advertisement aimed at mothers and their young daughters about women’s health. It was a pretty advertisement, so I was intrigued and looked further at the accounts tagged. Most were following RFK JR, so I asked them if they were MAHA, to which they replied of course and blocked me.

The event is being held at the Wheaton Library on August 22nd by Mother Well Conference

I am sharing because it is scary to see how easily someone can fall down this pipeline.

I have always tried to be on the “healthier” side of things, and it is amazing how much MAHA stuff appears on my feed touting fear with little to no fact to back up their advice.

With the recent executive order concerning vaccines, I think this is important to share in the community if you or people you know are avoiding the kind of misinformation likely to be shared at an event like this.

Have a nice day everyone - stay safe and dry :)

ETA: Someone below pointed out they are violating the library’s rules by charging and not putting a disclaimer about not being sponsored by the library - see below for how to notify the library 📚:)

UPDATE: Looks like it got cancelled!! You all rock! Thanks for helping to shut down these grifters

What are some naturalish lakes ponds or creeks that you go to that are safe to swim in?

I know there are plenty of outdoor pools and places like Centennial Beach or the quarry near Batavia,
but are there any natural bodies of water that are safe to swim in and less busy?

When I was younger I traveled to North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia etc, and there were pretty clean creeks and little lakes we swam in.

Anything similar in our area?

Mine are probably:
Yumeji’s theme from In The Mood For Love
Cancion Mixteca from Paris, Texas
Dawn from Pride & Prejudice

I’m making a playlist for work with this kind of instrumental vibe, but I would love to hear your favorites, with or without lyrics 😁

Musicals count too, I suppose, though I have my playlist with my favorite musical soundtracks already lol, but I would still love to hear your favorites. (Funny Girl is mine)

Greetings, all!

Does anyone reside in the suburbs and have Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma?

If so, do you have a Primary Care Provider you would recommend for regular physicals/concerns outside of your CTCL specialist?

Someone with a bit of knowledge on the condition would be great, tho I understand it’s “rare”

Preferably in the Western subs, but would be willing to travel a bit north.

Thanks in advance and have a wonderful evening!
