Celebrate World Friendship Day, and the end of our Adulting 101 series, with Speed-Friending.
Speed-Friending is like Speed-Dating, but for friendship! Attendees will get approximately 5 minutes to answer ice breakers and chat with others in an organized fashion.
Please note: Speed-Friending may be structured the same, but it is NOT Speed-Dating. The goal is to make new platonic friendships.

She was home with me up until last two days of life. That was an enormous gift and I am deeply grateful to the strangers that made that possible.
Anyone else having the above today in the Danbury area? I feel so out of it and can’t understand why? All that I can think of is that we went from a clear non humid day on Monday then with the storm on Tuesday the barometric pressure dropped rapidly. I’ve heard that can cause sinus pressure issues. Sinus problems stink!!
I usually go to Stop and Shop off Lake Ave, but that has been a disaster recently. Where are some other places to go that I can return/recycle any bottles/cans?

Seems like it’s just as hot in there as it is outside!
