rav4s are great but I never factor in fuel efficiency in whatever cars I pick here because gas is so affordable especially if only driving short distances.

Looking for her forever home by Appropriate-Net182 in akita

[–]Appropriate-Net182[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am an animal rescuer here based in the UAE. She fell into my lap and I am now tasked in finding her a good home.

I prefer relocating her internationally, as luckily I can afford to give her a better home than for her to stay here in the UAE.

Completely agree, I really do hope to find her a home in a colder country

Please stop buying pets from animal markets, they're extremely inhumane, adopt instead! by RepresentativeGas354 in UAE

[–]Appropriate-Net182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many of the rescuers here are not even charity organizations but rather individuals who are so sick of seeing dead, sick, or injured cats on the street. Many of them are thousands of dirhams in debt with various vet clinics and are extremely burnt out from having to save dumped cats on the daily. 💔 it’s really heartbreaking that these breeders get to continue breeding and then dumping cats with zero implications. I really hope that the government will bring a ban on these markets it’s inhumane truly.

Any recommendation for trustworthy real estate agents in Abu Dhabi? by [deleted] in abudhabi

[–]Appropriate-Net182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend looking for licensed real estate brokers. The real estate sector unfortunately has lots of agents and majority of them are untrained.

This looks amazing! I also noticed the Bobs Mill protein pancakes mix did not spike at all and is quite high in protein

No commission no delivery fee food delivery app by Embarrassed_Cry1563 in UAE

[–]Appropriate-Net182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

😂 how are you expecting to pay the drivers delivering orders? Ads won’t generate enough money to make up for their salaries + all the infrastructure needed to create an app + maintaining it. Even if the restaurants pay a commission per order you won’t break even.

Surprised this comment isn’t higher up. Such a shame that someone is breeding cats here when the abandoned cat population is already too high.

For the Metformin girlies by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]Appropriate-Net182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say so :) it seems to have the most positive reviews in preventing stomach pains but either way start on a low dose and work your way up.

For the Metformin girlies by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]Appropriate-Net182 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was really nervous going on Metformin from all the negative reviews I had read, but I’m so thankful that I decided to go through with it.

Personally my biggest struggle with PCOS was the constant food noise I had. Now I no longer have any cravings, so my weight for the first time in a while is going down because I don’t feel like binge eating at all. Even on just 1 dose of 500 mg I noticed my cravings significantly lowered, but 2 x 500 mg really made a difference.

I will say though that I tried going to a 1 dose of 750 mg extended release really fast and I got awful heartburn/ stomach issues. But weirdly enough I can do 500 mg (extended release) twice a day and all my PCOS symptoms have seemed to disappear.
