LooeyVille @LooeyVille (19) • United States 21h

Kristen Howe Hugs you've been in the hospital lately. The nearest Nordstrom Rack store is a bit of a distance from me. But buying it online is under consideration. Hope it works out for you.

Safety cots - are they still around?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (346662) • Rockingham, Australia 12 Feb

I don’t know anyone with a small baby. Are these safety cots still in use? Our boys had one. The closed-in cot meant they couldn’t fall out of bed and the flywire kept the mosquitoes at bay. I remember ours having teddies and...

Kristen Howe NO comment on Trump. But this explains why I've been delayed on receiving my father's survivor benefit money to some extent. Another eight days to go until the next meeting to get it resolved.
