why did I cross my chest when Dustin got quiet? 😂

Fran!! I’m so happy for you, truly. As a younger FZ listener (24) it’s soooo refreshing hearing yall discuss the things you’re picking up/still practicing as GROWN ups! I have varying interests and hobbies and I hope I always keep that curiosity.

Every day I see this type of abuse to babies. Military base Child Development Centers (infants-preschool) are the worst places for children in the entire world! Employees from caregivers to janitorial are mandated reporters yet these poor babies go through hell at home and in the centers. I’ve seen caregivers report abuse and bc the parents are high ranking officials, things get brushed under the rug. Similarly, if a caregiver is mistreating a child they will not get fired just “retrained”. Military children are already neglected in a way that causes trauma and when active duty parents opt for military childcare, you get ALL the abusive military practices *especially with toddlers*.

Hey Fran. when you look at the speedometer where you see the gas level. It shows an arrow that tells you where's the tank opening.

I'm happy for you Fran. That's such a good milestone. I'm 32, and don't have my license, but I do want to get it just so I can have in case of emergencies.

Pro tip: there’s an arrow on the gas gauge, usually next to the gas pump symbol, that points to which side the tank is on. Good to know if you’re filling up a rental. ;) Drive safe!

Hey Asante, Dustin and Fran!! When trying to figure out what side your gas tank is on, just be cool Fran & look for the little arrow next to the gas indicator located on your dashboard. I've been driving for years (I'm 34) and still forget where the gas tank is when I pull up at the gas station. You're not alone friend.

I am so interested to hear what Wendy & Jess have to teach us about Ozempic. One of my best friends is a cancer survivor and had to have a double mastectomy last year. She had reconstructive surgery, but one of the implants got infected so she had to have it removed. Her doctors have refused to do the revision surgery until she loses weight because her BMI is too high. But all her health stats are clean as fuck- cholesterol, blood pressure, sugar, etc. It’s literally just about her size because she’s a thick and curvy Black girl. She’s excited that her doctors have approved her for Ozempic so she can lose weight and have her surgery, and it just feels super gross.
