It’ll be fine. We’re a hidden gem. Fresh water lake. No forest fires, earthquakes, mudslides, floods, hurricanes, etc. Look at the rest of the country and realize, weather-wise, we’re actually doing pretty well. So NY and LA can call us flyover states all they want but …

I’m already feeling depressed. I try to challenge how much truth is there about my assumptions about the weather. I also think of things I’d be interested in doing during the winter. For me, the opera and the symphony orchestra are back in a few weeks so I bought season tickets and book restaurant reservations, start a new hobby like boulder climbing, pick up new books to read mostly review books for me lol so I can get a job in Wealth Management by year end. Haha just sharing my ideas that might also might inspire you to do something you would be excited about

If so, what did it look like for you and the patient? Or do you advise against it and if so why? I’ve been researching this and can understand both sides of the argument. Thanks in advance!

Confused if parents want schools to reopen or not?

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
