OK, I am on a new mission. Deaf/CODA network. I want to create a set of videos showing the local signs for cities in each state. I know this is a tall order. I will send Venmo/Paypal/Cash app etc to my Deaf connections for any videos they send me. (I'm not sure what's fair...$1 per city?) I think Messenger should work for sending the videos over.

CVS is rolling out a new system with the prediction that by July it will impact all stores.
The new system is that ALL pharmacy calls go to voicemail then the team finds your answer and calls you back within an hour. They can leave you a message and tag your number so that when you call back (phone tag) the system sends you to the pharmacy phone not the voice mail.
My local pharmacist said they and other stores have asked for a work around for relay callers/deaf patients. We need to hit CVS with comments to push them to get that done NOW not when they get around to it.
They have a "tag" for patients with complex prescription cases and have asked for a tag for dDeaf patients too so that they don't get caught in the voicemail carousel.

I learned about alebrijes on a recent trip to Mexico where I had the opportunity to start painting one of my own during the class. The traditional artists spend days or months adding details to these whimsical animals. I only finished one side of the wings to my hummingbird so the teacher packed them up for me to finish at home. Here I'm using a small dowel to make the dots on the feathers.

We often push our children to face a fear and "just" do the thing. How often are we adults willing to step up and do the same? This week, I faced my fears and did a zipline course with my son. It wasn't nearly as scary as I imagined and I was able to be an example for my children to do things you might be scared of. (Image access: green mountains with a zipline in the image. There's a person ziplining across and an attendant waiting to brake them.)
