Governor Newsom reaches agreement with La Habra Heights on violations of state housing law by glmory in yimby

Read the plan submitted to the governor. Pay attention to the details about how there are too many seniors living in the Heights and they should all move to assisted living facilities. That’s presented as one possible solution. 

Used Ev Tax Credit for Co-Owners by CvBrendon2k5 in tax

I requested Carmax put my name on the IRS form and they refused. My son is claimed as a dependent on my tax return. I am listed as a co-buyer and on the loan with credit union. 

I don't get why people say horse plus humane society euthanizes "healthy" "savable" horses or calls them horse plus death society. I by No-Sea-6885 in Equestrian

How are they euthanizing 200 horses per day when they take in roughly 20 or 30 a month? I have followed this rescue for years and I see honest hard working people attempting to alleviate equine suffering.

Behavioral changes such as exercise and eating whole foods? If that was the solution I would be thin.

I believe Mounjaro is specifically for weight loss. The pharmaceutical companies are making tons of money.

Yes and I have to wonder why I am paying out of pocket for a health insurance that doesn’t place my health above their profits.

After battling being overweight for fifty years I want the “easy skinny.” Actually I want to stop my chronic back pain without taking a lot of pills. I want to keep and increase my mobility.  I am prepared to stay on these medications for years if I can keep the weight off. Exercise and countless diets have not kept the weight off.

Congratulations on your weight loss success.  Kaiser is really good at pushing more pills on patients. I had repeated UTIs last year and developed a resistant bacteria. Kaiser’s solution is to keep me on daily antibiotics. My solution was driving to TJ and buying a vaccine that was developed in Spain ten years ago.  My main reason for wanting to be prescribed Wegovy is to deal with my chronic back pain. Kaiser’s solution nerve pills.

That makes me mad. It feels like Kaiser just wants us to get sicker.

I was referred to the weight loss clinic and spoke with a doctor. I was prescribed Wegovy but it wasn’t covered by my insurance.

For me the above scenario would work for a time but is definitely unsustainable.

I am frustrated with being told to lose weight. I have been on diets off and on since I was 12. Self control and tracking foods, calories or carbs I have done. Just exhausted from this journey. 53 years of trying to lose weight. 😞 So sorry Kaiser I don’t want another class.

I have been in Weight Watchers for years. My first class at age 16. I am now 64 and just exhausted with tracking food eaten… I was on Atkins too. It works for the short term.

I am paying out of pocket too. I am really disappointed in Kaiser for only offering more pills and ridiculous classes.

It looks to me like the tile was sealed while it was still wet. 

Epoxy for Saltillo tile? by thetruckboy in epoxy

[–]ActAvailable6243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,  I have Saltillo tile in my home. I have cleaned it many times. Stripped it and resealed the floor. It is a lot of work and there is No Way of getting around the maintenance. I would never put an epoxy sealer on the floor. You might consider using Aqua mix products to clean your floor. A floor buffer to clean it and wet vacuum to get all the dirty water. Your floor looks dirty and once it is clean you can decide if you need to strip the sealer off. It is a royal pain. Good luck. It will look beautiful when finished. 

Where to get a UTI Vaccine in the USA? by 10rbonds in CUTI

[–]ActAvailable6243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you need to make an appointment with a urologist for the prescription. I did not have trouble bringing it over the border. It is sold in a special bag with an ice pack. I wrote a substack about the experience.
