Happy birthdays!
You guys are talking about Drew Lachey and Nick just sang the national anthem for a race, I am told. I skip that part. But Twitter says it totally happened.
Right. Sir. Honey.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Does anyone have wise words about indoor allergens (especially after some home repair) and what the hell to do to fix them? I'm not sure, but this is the second time since we had the repairs done that I've felt far better after a night away from the house and returning home is like being hit with a lead pipe. I don't want to have a sick house, but I'm also sick and tired of whatever is going on with my sinuses, and the pollen count has dropped here, and I'm pretty convinced that I'm not allergic to Philly. Hivemind please help a girl out?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
What kind of repairs, Sox?

A really nasty popcorn ceiling in my office and the downstairs hall ceiling both taken out, new drywall. We cleaned really well after, we thought.

That's a lot of particle causing repairs. What kind of heating/ac system do you have? Lots of dust can get caught up in ventilation.

Central. Would it still be circulating in July if the work was mostly done in may? Eta: and march and April. We've changed filters in the spring and then again tonight. DH is out looking at air cleaners, but I could try to get the ducts cleaned too. Really, I'll do anything to get this to stop.
And thanks so much for helping me talk this through. I feel like I'm going crazy.

I am cautiously optimistic about Capital One, we use them for our banking at work, and I just opened an account with them for the express purpose of holding fundraising money before it gets transferred to the donation account.

How the eff is Drew Lachey rich? I mean, 98 Degrees? How does that carry you through your life being rich.
Good investments. And if he was one of the songwriters, he made extra money. According to wikipedia, they sold 10 million albums and 700,000 singles from one song.

Sox, it might be worth your while to have a home indoor air quality test done. They can test for mold, bacteria, mites, and a variety of chemicals.

Sox, are you using a Filtrete allergen-reduction filter? If not, you might try using one and leaving the fan running.
