Show Notes

What do a spider monkey, midlife knee pain, cancer milestones, and girlfriend retirement housing have in common? Honestly… more than you’d think. In this episode, Amy says goodbye to her emotional support & BFF spider monkey Porter Ray, Lisa shares how BPC-157 peptides, the real MVP's, are working wonders on her knee, and we celebrate some BIG news from Lisa’s cancer follow-up. We also get into why Amy still wears slips like it’s 1963, brainstorm emoji safety signals for single people, and pitch a full-blown plan for a girlfriend retirement compound. It’s part wellness, part chaos, and 100% She Sed.

 It’s honest, funny, and somehow covers spider monkeys and survival strategies. Typical.

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Welcome back to the she said podcast number 15. [00:00:04] Speaker B: Oh, I think 14, right? Oh, we've officially lost count. [00:00:08] Speaker A: No, 15. Because we talked about last week. Oh, that. It was. [00:00:12] Speaker B: Well, I just made a post saying 14, so I think we're 15. [00:00:16] Speaker A: I don't know. We're here, though. [00:00:19] Speaker B: My brain feels like the inside of my purse. So it's. It's all. [00:00:23] Speaker A: Is that one of your mom sayings? [00:00:25] Speaker B: No. [00:00:25] Speaker A: Oh, it sounds like a mom saying. [00:00:27] Speaker B: I am a mom. [00:00:29] Speaker A: Oh, that is true. That's right. I forgot. [00:00:31] Speaker B: I am 50 and I am a mom. [00:00:33] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:00:34] Speaker B: I have some good sayings. [00:00:35] Speaker A: Do you? [00:00:36] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, yeah. And I mess them up a lot. My husband's always like, you literally mess up more, saying, like, I'll say, you can turn on a dollar. And he's like, it's a dime. It's a dime. Maybe it's stuff like that that I. [00:00:51] Speaker A: Messed up really bad. Try to turn on a dollar. [00:00:57] Speaker B: I'm like, oh, he'll come up with a whole bunch of ones that I say wrong. [00:01:02] Speaker A: That's hilarious. Yeah. I have sayings, I don't think, but okay. How was your weekend? [00:01:08] Speaker B: Very good. I had to say goodbye to Porter. Oh, no, I know, but he has his birthday. Porter the monkey. In case anybody didn't listen to last, he left me some precious little love. But he just is like. I think he just is like, gosh, I want to hug you and I want to bite you at the same time. Like, you're just so fun. So he had a blast with Ty. It's funny. So, anything else? I did a lot of gardening. Tore up by chiggers. I mean, Stephen. And I don't know what. I don't even know how to treat them, but they're painful. I did see a hack on poison ivy that if you. Which I don't get poison ivy, Stephen. And he. So you take round paper sacks, tear strips of it, put it in apple cider vinegar, and then lay those strips on your poison ivy. And supposedly, like, as it dries like you can, it'll. The oil of the poison ivy will just draw through that paper sack. [00:02:01] Speaker A: You know, I have a guy that sprays my yard for mosquitoes, and it also keeps fleas and ticks out of the yard, which I'm so happy about, because those things freak me out. [00:02:11] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Yes, they do. Me, too, big time. Which I think today I'm supposed to get some Bravecto for my dogs. I do use that on them, and I think they. I mean, I hate doing any of that, but I gotta keep the fleas and ticks off. [00:02:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:22] Speaker B: And this seems to do just fine. Daisy got hives again. I don't know what the deal is. It seems like she gets them seasonally maybe, and she just gets hives, like huge welps on her body. I don't know. I don't know that unless she's get bits by something. But I can't imagine repetitively that that would happen. So I gave her a zertech and I mean, her little eye was swollen, but the Zyrtec helped, so. And a lot of people don't realize you can give your dog a Zyrtec, just don't give them like a Claritin D. Leave the D, the pseudoephedrine out of it. That's very bad for them. But you can give them Benadryl or Zyrtec or Claritin. Just don't give them Claritin D. Okay. So. [00:02:56] Speaker A: Well, I had a crazy weekend. Just busy with parties. I had the 50th. Well, my friend actually does her half party, so they're 55 instead of 50 and 60. She does 55. 65. So it was her 55th birthday, which was really fun. Bunch of people thinking that we're young and we're not. And so you feel it the next day. Just even. Not even. I mean, I don't drink, so it wasn't even drinking. It was just, you know, just playing games and just doing stupid stuff. So that was really fun. And then had my four hour lunch with my friend that we go once a month and literally sit there for four hours, which is always fun. And then I had a Thunder party, which was so great for Oklahoma that we finally have something to cheer for. A professional team. That was a fun game. [00:03:38] Speaker B: And they seem to be so well respected. I think the coaches seem to really talk so highly of them and just their character. [00:03:45] Speaker A: Yeah, it was fun to watch, to. [00:03:46] Speaker B: Hear that about a team. [00:03:47] Speaker A: Lots of parties. Yes. I left my neighborhood and it was literally every other house had, you know, 25 cars parked in front of it, which was. [00:03:55] Speaker B: And I still haven't really. No, I've never been. [00:03:59] Speaker A: I went the first few years when it was the three guys that were so the Harden guy and I wouldn't even know Kevin Durant and all of them. I went in the playoff. We had really great seats down, close to the floor. And it is a fun environment and it's just. [00:04:13] Speaker B: It would be fun. [00:04:13] Speaker A: We don't have much in Oklahoma to cheer for, so that was always that's always fun to go to, but boy, these games were packed. [00:04:20] Speaker B: I can't even imagine. Yeah, it would be fun to. I would like to go and try it and see. I got a message from her last night. My. The oldest sister in my family. And it was like, join Our My Life360 group. Well, she listened to the podcast about how she created a life360. And she said, you're the only one that would accept it. Everyone else said, I guess her kids and everybody was said, no way. No, that's stalking. [00:04:43] Speaker A: I accepted it. [00:04:44] Speaker B: I'm like, I'm gonna end up driving you crazy because you'll see how much I come and go. [00:04:48] Speaker A: You can turn that off, though. [00:04:49] Speaker B: But I told her I probably have to turn it off. So anyways. But I told her I'd say, hello, Betsy. Yeah, she's now asked me to join her 360 circle. [00:04:58] Speaker A: It's a great little tool, especially for tracking people. [00:05:01] Speaker B: Like, I think in family. I don't think it's anything bad. I mean, it's not like I'm up to anything good. Bad. [00:05:06] Speaker A: Right. [00:05:07] Speaker B: It's good to know kind of where somebody at in an emergency these days, shooting. [00:05:12] Speaker A: Because my friend that I had lunch with, we were laughing about it because our lunch could be a full podcast. I mean, with what each other go through. But a few years ago, we had. When we first reconnected because she had moved to Africa, we were talking about both of us being single. She lives by herself, I live by myself. And then it's like, you know, if we die in our sleep, who's going to know? I mean, I don't want to lay there. My dogs start eating me because they're starving. [00:05:37] Speaker B: And it happens. [00:05:38] Speaker A: I know it does. So we got to where we stopped doing it. We need to get back on it. But we were laughing about. We would send an emoji every single morning just to let the other person know that you're still breathing, still alive, up and functioning. It would be like whatever was happening for that day, like, I would send like a dancing emoji or, you know, whatever it was, what your mood was that day. And so then she would always respond with the corresponding one that matched what I sent. And it was just fun. And we did it for about a year. And then I think my mom went into the hospital and I, you know, was up there 24 7. So I didn't really. We stopped doing it. But it's a smart idea for single people that are that live alone or a senior that lives Alone to find somebody that you can just let them know you're still okay. [00:06:19] Speaker B: They say that you and your kids should pick out a certain emoji that's a completely random one. And it's kind of like a safety emoji that, like, let's say they're at a party or they're just at a friend's house and they want you to call and interrupt or come get them or whatever. And if they send that palm tree, then you just know. That's kind of code for, hey, I gotta come get you. I gotta, you know, something like that. [00:06:44] Speaker A: So that's a really good idea. [00:06:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:47] Speaker A: Okay. So I have to give an update on my knee, my dreaded injured knee. I had Karen on, who is the nurse practitioner that I work for. She's one of my clients who's. They're all big in peptides, you know, and we've talked about peptides a million times. I'm a big believer in peptides. NAD plus. And then I had her on and she talked about her three most popular. Which. Anyway, so after she was on here, I was like, okay, I need it. I need the BPC 157 because it's. [00:07:15] Speaker B: So you did it. [00:07:16] Speaker A: I started taking it last Tuesday, so it'll be a week tomorrow. [00:07:20] Speaker B: Okay. [00:07:21] Speaker A: Total game changer. [00:07:22] Speaker B: Are you serious? [00:07:23] Speaker A: I'm very serious. It's one of those where you do it, you inject it directly into the injury. So I've been shooting it right in my knee. [00:07:30] Speaker B: It will still help affect your whole body? [00:07:32] Speaker A: Yes, it's. It helps with. People with ibs, ulcers, burns, are doing it to help burn victims repair tissue. It. It helps with lots of stomach issues. It's kind of. That's where it started. But professional athletes use it to repair injuries, and that's why they can get back to playing so much quicker. So you inject. If you have an injury like that, you inject it directly into the injury site. They tell you just to inject it, like in your thigh is normal. Where you want to inject. If you're just taking it for like. Or really. They. They recommend for stomach issues, for ibs and all the stomach issues is to take it orally with a pill. You can pill. [00:08:12] Speaker B: There's a difference because it goes through. [00:08:13] Speaker A: Your digestive system where this is going directly into your bloodstream, through your muscles, through the injection. So I started doing it every day. It's 20 units instantly. Feel better? Like, I didn't. I just ignored it when I first started because I didn't think I figured it would take a while. The second time I took it, there's just an instant, you just feel the pain leave. By Saturday, I was walking like a normal person, like it had never happened. [00:08:37] Speaker B: Are you serious? [00:08:38] Speaker A: Then I tweaked it again on Sunday. So I'm. It's a little stiff today. It's not sore. I have no pain whatsoever as far as like putting my weight on it walking, there's no pain. It just. It feels very stiff, like when I straighten and bend my knee. But as far as pain, there's zero pain left in my knee. So then yesterday or Sunday, that. Because that Sunday I started doing some more research on it and they said if you wanted to, you could divide that 20 units into 10 in the morning and 10 at night to kind of just overnight. Yeah, so I've been doing that starting Sunday I did 10 units in the morning and 10 in the evening. And it's like little insulin needles. So you don't even feel it. [00:09:14] Speaker B: I'm really interested. [00:09:16] Speaker A: Shocking how much better I feel, huh? [00:09:20] Speaker B: You know, I was talking to my doctor about all that the other day, mentioning it in our appointment. And it was interesting because he didn't know about. But I loved it because he was actually writing down like, okay, now what is this black seed oil? I liked it because he showed interest in it, which to me that's golden when a doctor's at least open to like knowing, you know, what else is out there. And that's because I got all my, my blood work back again. It. And then I also. I also ran it through Chat gtp, which was really cool because you can take a picture of your. Of whatever it is you get from the doctor and you can ask Chat GTP to analyze it, like in your language just so you can understand and have it break it down and, and truly like everything was at. It's really good. There is nothing that is negative. I mean, and he went back over, he was like, wait a minute, you're 50? I do. I think all these things. I have not tried the BPC 157. And that is on my list because I kind of talked to him about it, but he, he wasn't aware of it. [00:10:16] Speaker A: Yeah, medical doctors usually aren't so. [00:10:20] Speaker B: And that's very interesting. [00:10:21] Speaker A: Well, the interesting thing on the peptides is that the big pharma sued the whole peptide world that trying to prevent them because they are. They can't. They can't duplicate it and make money on it. And so they sued and so There for a little bit. You couldn't get them because it was in a lawsuit. But the actual FDA pharmacies, the compounding pharmacies, won, and so now you can get them again. And so the big. The medical doctor in the medical world's never going to, you know, buy into it. And they're without side effects. That's the thing. Because I specifically asked Karen, you know, what are the side effects? And she goes, they're really. It's minimal. Most of it's just a nuisance. Like you, you know, you'll get a bruise at the shot site or it'll burn when you first put it in, like nad plus when inject that, that actually stings, you know, as it goes in and for a few minutes afterwards. Those are the side effects. Not it affects your kidneys or, you know, it's not ne. It's not medical side effects. It's more of just annoying side effects from the injection site, usually. [00:11:21] Speaker B: Well, I think I've grown confident enough that I'm going to call her and see about it. [00:11:26] Speaker A: Actually, when I get this knee completely, I'm going to switch over to my knee. That really does need help. This one's just from an injury and see if it can help, because it does work with tissue. Torn tissue, torn ligaments, bone issues. It helps with, you know, like, if someone that's been burned. It's actually helping with people that are trying to get off alcohol because it curbs those symptoms. [00:11:48] Speaker B: That's amazing. [00:11:49] Speaker A: And then the other one is going to help with, like, burning fat and that type of things. You can stack them. You can either order them all together in one syringe or have three different, you know, vials and mix them in one syringe. So you're only giving yourself one shot. But some of them you can't mix together. So. But they're like little insulin needles. It's really. [00:12:07] Speaker B: It's not bad. [00:12:08] Speaker A: No. My knee is covered in little bruises, but I don't even care. It's worse. [00:12:12] Speaker B: Like, Porter's been around. [00:12:14] Speaker A: It's true. So anyway, I have to tell you a really funny story that I was talking to a friend this weekend about my knee and that she said, well, how'd you do it? We were texting, and I was like, I was putting on my pants, like it makes zero sense. And she said, that's funny because she was actually trying to kick off some skinny jeans and, you know, they were too tight around her legs and she was kicking them off and she fell and broke a. Stop. It yeah. So clothes. Putting on clothes is dangerous as you get older. [00:12:41] Speaker B: It is dangerous. [00:12:42] Speaker A: It's like you broke your leg. Well, that beats my story for sure. [00:12:46] Speaker B: Speaking of clothes, do you wear a slip? [00:12:49] Speaker A: I don't. I haven't worn one in a long time. [00:12:52] Speaker B: Really? I guess I'm old lady. So in. My friend Tiffany makes fun of me for that, for wearing a slip. But I couldn't find one this morning, and I was, like, freaking out because I don't. You know, my mom was always like, wear a slip, wear a slip. I might have been the only girl in high school wearing a slip, but I still wear one today. So I was just curious if you, like, am I old school? Am I still a thing? [00:13:15] Speaker A: I don't think so, man. [00:13:16] Speaker B: I wear a slip, girl. [00:13:18] Speaker A: So funny. [00:13:19] Speaker B: Sun coming through your skirt? [00:13:21] Speaker A: Well, yeah, it depends on what you're. I guess, what you're wearing, if it's sheer or not. [00:13:24] Speaker B: Well, to me, it just helps everything, Lacy. [00:13:26] Speaker A: It does. [00:13:28] Speaker B: Because the feeling of Spanx, I can't do that. That just suffocates too much. I mean, it would have to be a real emergency for me to put that on. Yeah. So a slip just makes everything hang, but it makes your clothes hang better, I think. [00:13:38] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:38] Speaker B: Yeah. So I think you're old in your silhouette. Because I had an older mother, I. [00:13:43] Speaker A: Guess, maybe because that is something of that generation. And I did wear slips when I was younger, but I haven't worn one. [00:13:48] Speaker B: In years because she had me at almost 40. [00:13:51] Speaker A: Okay. [00:13:52] Speaker B: So that could be it. [00:13:54] Speaker A: Well, I had my cancer appointment. Yes. My fall. I have to go every year, which is always nerve talking about anxiety driven. I. I always walk in and I have normal blood pressure. I don't have any blood pressure issues. But every single time, my blood pressure is elevated when they, you know, take it ahead of time. So my heart rate was elevated, my blood pressure was elevated. Nervous wreck. And after she finished the exam, she goes, lisa, you don't need to come back anymore if you don't want to. I was like, what? Because they had always told me, you go every three months for the first two years, every six months for the next two years, and then every year forever. And she said, you're far enough out and you're doing so well, and you're. Everything looks so great. She goes, it's up to you, but you don't have to come back. You're really amazing. I'll probably go back for a few more years just for my own head. It's. And she said, do you Want to. And I said, yeah, I kind of do. She goes, it's up to you. She said, I mean, you can come back as long as you want, but it's a choice now, which I never thought I was going to have that choice. So. Eight years out. [00:14:57] Speaker B: That's amazing. [00:14:58] Speaker A: It was. I kind of walked out with a little bit of a pep in my step that I wasn't. That feeling of relief is crazy. [00:15:04] Speaker B: I can't even imagine. [00:15:05] Speaker A: So crazy. So anyway, and we also talked about hormone replacement therapy that might be an option and so. Which has always been off the table for me because of the cancer anyway. [00:15:15] Speaker B: From her yet? [00:15:16] Speaker A: No, she said it'd be either this week or next week because we have to wait for the oncologist to get back. So. Pretty exciting. Unexpected. Yeah. I didn't ever think that was coming. [00:15:26] Speaker B: That's amazing. [00:15:27] Speaker A: I know. [00:15:28] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:28] Speaker A: That's a good surprise. And speaking of health, do. Do you have a health care proxy? [00:15:33] Speaker B: I don't. [00:15:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:15:34] Speaker B: Like need to probably do that. [00:15:37] Speaker A: And the one reason I have a. [00:15:38] Speaker B: Lot of grown up things I still need to take care of. [00:15:40] Speaker A: I know, Me too. But. And the reason I asked that is my. Have a friend that lives in Nashville and he was renting a house next to a man, an elderly man that lived by himself and ended up. I don't. I can't remember the whole story of how my friend found him, but got him to the hospital and then they couldn't. They didn't have any family members to reach. There was no proxy. There was nothing. So if you don't have a healthcare proxy for someone to decide what happens to you. They ended up two. Then there's a thing that the two doc, two doctors can get together and decide your healthcare and what they do with you if there's no family member. They couldn't find any family and so they wouldn't tell Jason anything either because he's not even. He's just the guy next door. [00:16:25] Speaker B: My husband could do it, but I guess if you have a mom or dad still living, then who takes precedence? Your husband or your mom or dad? So I can see where you would. [00:16:33] Speaker A: Have to have that just to decide what happens. [00:16:35] Speaker B: I'm sure you've. Have you heard all of this, this brain dead scandal that's been going on, how easily they're declaring. I say easy lightly, but this whole brain dead thing is like allegedly, a lot of times it's a little determined, a little too early because there's organs involved. And that's just the alleged. Okay, these Are things that I do keep seeing things pop up that are very interesting with lots of details that back these stories. And I'm like, oh, yeah, I don't want to be claimed brain dead too early. [00:17:04] Speaker A: No. [00:17:05] Speaker B: Knock on wood. [00:17:06] Speaker A: That is scary. Well, he couldn't even find out ever what, you know, what was going on with the guy because he's not family. He's just a neighbor. And then finally he was coming home one day and there was somebody over there at the house. So he went over and it was a long lost relative. And the guy had passed away in hospice, but he had, you know, there was no family, which I'm sure I'm gonna be that way. No, you'll be my health care problem. [00:17:30] Speaker B: Yeah, there you go. [00:17:31] Speaker A: I mean, it's just crazy when you, when you get to that age. The guy was in his 90s. Everybody had passed away. Yeah. [00:17:38] Speaker B: That goes into where we've talked about. As you age, you need to have a group, a small girlfriend. Well, you're willing just get a big house with. [00:17:46] Speaker A: Yes. [00:17:46] Speaker B: Where you commit to take care of each other. [00:17:48] Speaker A: I'm telling you, I mean, it's true. It is. I've said it for years. That, that's, that's my end game. [00:17:55] Speaker B: And maybe you'll all chip in and have. [00:17:56] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:57] Speaker B: A 24 hour nurse. That's there. You know, whatever. Like, this could be a new concept, you guys. Yeah, I think the nursing homes, they're criminal. Don't even get me started on that. [00:18:07] Speaker A: Right. No, no, no, no, for sure. And I've always said that just get all your friends. You can push each other in wheelchairs and have a blast. [00:18:15] Speaker B: Have a great time. [00:18:16] Speaker A: Yeah, I think it's a great idea. What was that TV show with those four old women? [00:18:20] Speaker B: Golden Girls. [00:18:21] Speaker A: Golden Girls. It's the same concept. [00:18:23] Speaker B: Girls, they need to bring back the golden girls. It's exactly what needs to happen. [00:18:26] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm telling you, it makes more sense because you know, who, who's there? What's the guarantee that your kids are going to take care of you or your husband? [00:18:34] Speaker B: And not to mention how busy your kids get when they start having kids. Always her biggest fear was like being a burden to her kids, to us. Yeah. You worry about that because you don't want to be a burden to people. No, no, we'll just burden our friends instead because we're. [00:18:49] Speaker A: Yeah, everybody's going through the same thing at the same time. So it's not like one person. [00:18:53] Speaker B: You want to ride to the doctor? Me, a ride to the doctor? [00:18:57] Speaker A: You just hope you can all still drive at that point. Yeah, exactly. Let's talk about your car and your recirculated air. [00:19:05] Speaker B: Oh, so I've seen this thing and granted, like, most people drive newer cars, so it isn't as prominent in the newer cars. However, they do say. And I've caught myself multiple times making a road trip and I'm like, God, I'm so tired. Like, I just get lethargic and like I need to open all my windows and get some fresh air. Like, that's just kind of the first thing that comes to. And sure enough, I kind of revive. Well, they say your car should not be on the recirculated air, no matter what, for more than 20 or so minutes. And it should be on the fresh air coming in because you are producing that bad air, especially when you have multiple people in there. [00:19:44] Speaker A: Right. [00:19:44] Speaker B: Or whatever. It is just not good for you. Kind of like sitting in a garage with your. [00:19:49] Speaker A: Right. The carbon monoxide. [00:19:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Builds up in your car and it can do that. So it's just better to change that to real air every so often. [00:20:00] Speaker A: I think they say to just cool off your car, you know, for 10 minutes or so and then turn it back to fresh air. And I. Yeah. You know, a couple years ago, there was those high school boys. [00:20:12] Speaker B: It was like boy and a girl who were just sitting in the park. [00:20:15] Speaker A: Sitting in their parking lot. Yeah. [00:20:17] Speaker B: Nothing fishy. [00:20:18] Speaker A: Cars running, car running. And both of them died. And ever since then, very, very. [00:20:24] Speaker B: And that wasn't some. Just old. [00:20:26] Speaker A: Old beater. [00:20:28] Speaker B: And it was absolutely horrible. [00:20:30] Speaker A: Probably always kept it on research, not recirculate. Yeah, recirculated. Just because it does keep your car cooler. But ever since then, boy, I keep it. I keep it. I don't even ever turn it on. I just keep it off altogether. [00:20:40] Speaker B: It's a good reminder because if I scares me remember it. I'd forgot, so. [00:20:45] Speaker A: Well, I live in my car on my phone. I swear, I sit in my driveway on my phone. [00:20:49] Speaker B: You'll sit there with the phone on ever. [00:20:51] Speaker A: I mean, I talk for hours at a time in my car. [00:20:54] Speaker B: I'll never. For girl in high school, her and her mother were getting ready, I think, to go to a lunch or church and they got carbon monoxide poisoning in their home and they passed away together. It was just horrible. Absolutely horrible. [00:21:08] Speaker A: Yeah, I have carbon monoxide detectors everywhere. You can even get them to take with you when you go to like a hotel. [00:21:15] Speaker B: That's what I have. [00:21:15] Speaker A: I do too. It's just to me it's just too risky to know. Well, you had a nonprofit idea that you wanted to talk about. [00:21:22] Speaker B: Oh, you know, it's in the long distance but you know, I, I see. Always see things on, you know, you and I both get it. We've been through a lot of trauma. And I go back and I think about trauma that I've been through since, you know, in fifth grade. I lost my whole home into a fire. We were home and we lost everything. It was absolutely terrible. And then, you know, so you kind of go through where, you know, you kind of hold on to things and you know, I mean I lost things like my baby book and just the most precious things you could think of thought, you know, there's people that go through things and when things happen, whether it's or accident or a surgery or the loss of a loved one, like things start to pile up at home and we've talked about this and then you're like, how do I. How do you get out of that? And there's so many women, moms and women who feel that way and are stuck in that rut. And I'm like, how cool would it be though to have. Because I know they have people like this for people with cancer and they'll go in and they help people with their homes that maybe have cancer. But man, there's people's trauma that extend far beyond cancer and who are just in a hole and they cannot get out. But they would feel judged because they don't want to have their house messy for people. So then they just never get help. But I'm like, how cool would it be to have a non profit that just goes in and they're able to go help people get their lives back together in their home to where they're at least functioning again. And they feel like my mind is going to operate again. So it's a good idea, I think that would be. And that those people know, hey, these people have been through it. They understand this is a judgment free zone. And I think people are becoming more aware of that because I'll see posts on, you know, different things of like horrible messes, as horrible as you can get and where people are more like, hey, you don't know what that person's been through. You have no idea what they are dealing with and what got them there. That's more of like a mental injury. Not even just a mental illness, but an injury to them mentally that has caused them to get to that point. So I just think it's an. I just thought oh, that would be a neat thing in the future to be like. That's how people can be helped. [00:23:25] Speaker A: We've talked about it with ourselves, and I. How I was after my mom passed away. My house is, like, perfect all the time. And people always joke that this looks like a showroom. This doesn't look like anybody lives here, because everything's always in its place. And that wasn't the case during that time. One, I drove back and forth, commuted for three. [00:23:43] Speaker B: Yes. [00:23:44] Speaker A: You know, three solid months, and then traveling over there for two years before just constantly taking care of them. And so it wasn't perfect afterwards. And it was. It felt overwhelming to try to get it back to that point because it's always stayed at that point. And so. And I will tell you that today, it's still not back to where it always was, just life and just the grieving process. So I can only imagine something like that, where you've lost something or you're. Even when I was, you know, going through cancer treatment, I mean, that's. I would have loved somebody to come in and help me get my life together, because all you can do. [00:24:21] Speaker B: A lot of people won't even let that happen because they feel too embarrassed or they're too judged or, you know. But I think if a group of people went in, having experienced somewhat of the same thing. [00:24:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:34] Speaker B: That guard can be let down for people. [00:24:37] Speaker A: Yeah, I think that's a great idea. Get on that. Amy. [00:24:40] Speaker B: Yeah. We'll start with mine. [00:24:43] Speaker A: No, mine. I was thinking mine first. We are out of time. Time. [00:24:47] Speaker B: Yes. [00:24:48] Speaker A: So we will see you next week. [00:24:50] Speaker B: Bye.
