White Pine did a great job for us. https://whitepinedb.com/

Katie used to be a kitchen designer for Ikea, so she can help you with the actual design as well.

They did a great job with my installation and were really reasonably priced.

I need to wear glasses and I often where my hair up. I get these super annoying puffs of hair above my ears and below the arms of my glasses. Any suggestions on how to control this (products, etc.)?

I need to submit a bunch of health benefits claims to the Federal Employee Program Blue Cross Blue Shield. From what I can tell, the only way to do this is by downloading the form, printing it out, completing it, and then sending it with receipts via the mail. Is that accurate or am I missing some way to submit claims and receipts online?

I prefer Orlie, which I think means "light".

Ha! I totally agree. I choose not to apply to Skidmore because of the architecture. I brought my daughter there to see, because it is a great school. She had the same reaction! Yikes!

Where? Name of the dr? What kind of laser? How big was your xanthelesma?

Bump.

What are other parents of seniors thinking for graduation celebrations? Now that most 16 yo+ in our family and among our friends will be fully vaccinated by graduation, is having a party a reasonable thing to do? Or is that a jerk move? Any suggestions?

Our camellia tree was transplanted in the fall. It seemed to be doing just fine and bloomed without a problem. But, in the last week the leaves have gotten brown and dry and it is looking less healthy.

Here is a link to photos of the tree https://imgur.com/a/3u87ACI.

Any suggestion on what to do? Also, other care suggestions are most welcome!

I will definitely give that a try, but it is 4.5 yrs old, so not sure how lucky I will be.

I have had my InstantPot for a few years and use it heavily. It isn't surprising to me that it died! But... now I feel like I am at a decision point. Do I get another InstantPot? Do I move over to the Ninja Foodie? Something else?

1 - I would not attend the graduation.
2- I would send a gift from the university s/he will be attending (e.g. a t-shirt, mug, sweatshirt)

We are considering spending part of our summer vacation in Central / Northern New Hampshire. We are looking for a reasonably priced family lodge / hotel. Ideally, it is some place where the mellow ones in the family can curl up with a book in a beautiful setting and those of us who are more active can spend time in the water (lake, pool; swimming, kayaking, fishing), hiking, playing games, etc. Any suggestions? Thanks!

My daughter is planning to babysit for neighbors and friends this summer and is having a hard time figuring out a reasonable rate. A few details:

- She is 16 and going into her junior year.
- She has a lot of babysitting experience.
- She does not drive.
- Normally she charges $8-10 an hour (she probably undercharges for our neighborhood - Bethesda - but feels awkward about increasing her rates with people she has worked for before).

How much do you recommend she charge for:
- Full day / week with 1-3 kids
- She and a friend are talking about coming together and caring for a larger group (e.g 4-6 kids) at one family's home. What should she charge for that? Per child / per family?

Any other suggestions re: pricing structure? Any other ideas of what you would like from a summer sitter?
