She's a medium Leola Bear Jellycat. And she is the cousin of Bartholomew Bear

She is so soft and sweet, and the cutest shade of pink.

I even met the author L. L. McKinney and she signed my book

I have always wondered why I was taught in school for so long and it turns out that apparently lots of other people were taught this too.

The only reason I can think if that we were raight that blood in the body is blue is because our veins look blue. But does anyone know where that myth came from or why kids are still being taught this today?

I honestly do not know the difference between and a stim toy and I usually use the two terms interchangeably.

My favorite fidget toys is my flippy chain. I use this thing all the time, at home or whilst I'm out, And I love that it's discreet and quiet.

I used Rosanna Pansino's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe and they turned out really good!

I am proud of myself. 😊

Literally, how cute is she‽

We are currently at Walmart getting groceries for dinner. And the stuff to make chocolate chip cookies later today.

We also need to go to Target to see how much it costs for them to put prescription lenses in my new glasses.

We hope you have a great Friday!! 😊

Also, his brother is Matt Groening, the guy who created The Simpsons.

Let me explain with my current situation. I am 22 F and I currently weigh 305lbs.

I am obese. Morbidly obese.

Even though I have been trying for 5 years at this point to lose the weight on my own. Eat healthier, eat more fruits and veggies, cut out excess sugar, walk more, exercise more, the whole kit and caboodle.

But I still am not losing the weight. I am still very fat. And I am worried that it will cause very serious health problems.

So I talked with my doctor and she told me "We need to get you on a weight loss medication. Let's try Ozempic".

But my insurance told us that they don't think I need the Ozempic so they won't pay for it.

So we tried Wegovy and Mounjaro. But my insurance still rejected our requests.

They're saying because I am young, and I am a diabetic with good numbers, I dont need the weight loss meds and I can just lose the weight naturally.

But ive been trying to and it hasn't been working. So that's why my doctor prescribed me the weight loss med.

Why is this allowed? Why is it that your insurance can deny you a medication, even if your doctor says you need it?

It was personal pizza day at the cafeteria so I had chicken, bacon, black olives, and purple onions on mine. (yes, I am one of those people who like onions and chicken on my pizza.)

And Cherry Vanilla Coke to drink. (Well, its the new Cherry Float flavor, but i honestly cant really tell the difference between this and the regular Cherry Vanilla Coke)

Hope you all have a good day! 😊

I always reject them, but mostly because I never really understood what their purpose was.

Is it to track my info and send me a bunch of emails I don't want? Do websites even need cookies? Why do they use them?

I used to be SO excited to get my new Highlights magazine in the mail each month! I loved the stickers I got with it, and I loved playing the fun games and reading the new stories and comics.

I used to also get their "Puzzle Buzz" magazines, which was their books full of fun different puzzles and games.

Fun fact: Highlights will be 80 this year.

Did you used to get or read the Highlights magazines? Or what magazine subscription did you have as a kid?

These are the FM20 headphones by FIO MOTUS, my mom ordered these off Amazon. And I had to get them in my favorite color, purple.

They fit comfortably on my head, and even though I feel like I have a big head, I didn't have extend them much at all for them to fit.

The sound quality is great. These are actually good noise cancelling, which is great because I live by myself in an apartment complex and the walls are thin. And I'm currently watching tv whilst wearing them and I cant hear anything else.

And they charge fast: apparently 10 minutes of charging can give you 12 hours of playtime. We'll see how true that rings, but so far I am enjoying my new headphones.

Let me explain. So, we all know these For Dummies books, right? Like Cooking For Dummies, Calculus For Dummies, Microsoft Office For Dummies, Chess for Dummies, etc.

Well, when I was nine years old, a Hispanic man who was a family friend, gifted me this Spanish For Dummies book. Because I was nine and literally the only Spanish I knew was the basic spanish words I picked up from watching Dora and Diego on Nick Jr. So I knew how to say "¡Hola! ¿Como estas usted?" and count to ten in Spanish but that was basically it.

So the man gifted me this book in hopes it could help me learn more about Spanish.

So I told him "Thank you, gracias", but then I saw the title of the book: Spanish For Dummies.

Nine year old me was confused. "Dummies"? I asked, "But I am not a dummy". I never heard of these kinds of books before now, and I seriously thought he was trying to subtly but also not-so-subtly tell me he thought I was stupid.

But the man and my mom said to me "Wait no, that's not what that means!"

But I was still confused. "Why are you giving me a book for Dummies? Do you think I'm dumb"? And I was sincerely offended.

And the man said to my mom "I am so sorry, I didn't expect this to be her reaction. I thought she would be happy."

But my mom responded "Come to think of it, I don't think she's ever heard of these books, so she may just be confused . I'll keep the book and maybe let's just wait until she's a little older".

So after the man left, my mom asked me "You've never heard of the For Dummies books, have you?"

And I was shocked: "BOOKS‽You mean to tell me there are more books like these calling people stupid??"

And then my mom chuckled and said to me "No, they're not actually calling you stupid. 'For Dummies' is just meant to be a tongue-in-cheek, sorta playful way of saying that these books can help you learn more about whatever topic you want to learn about, and it's so easy to understand that you can have zero prior knowledge and this book can help you. So like, you go in as a dummy, so to speak. The title is meant to be a joke."

So yeah, I didn't get diagnosed with ADHD til a year later when I was 10, and then it took til i was 19 to get my autism diagnosis but I feel like this book could have served as a sign that "my brain isn't quite like others".

But anyone else used to find these books offensive?

For me, it's soft, cute plushies/stuffed animals.

I got this little guy a couple months ago after a procedure I had to have done. I named him Greyson, because he is grey. He also has flat paws with beans in them that i like to squish around.

What about you? What's your favorite comfort object/kind of comfort object?
