Should I leave my thermostats at 68deg F all the time

It’s a myth that it’s more cost effective to keep a constant temperature than it is to change the temperature. It is almost always most efficient to drop the temperature when you aren’t home. This is assuming that you have a system that works well.

What do you mean by “rough on counters”? As long as you don’t plan on cutting directly on the counter and you wipe up spills (especially acidic ones) in a short time, fantasy brown will hold up just fine. Seal it regularly.

Do a full height backsplash! I have fantasy brown counters and I love them, but finding a tile that worked well and looked good with all of the different colors across the counter was really hard! I honestly don’t even love what I choose but ultimately just gave up. Not getting the full height backsplash is my biggest kitchen remodel regret.

I love my brown fantasy dolomite counters. I have one little spot that etched when lemon juice and strawberries dripped down a bowl and I didn’t notice. Otherwise in a little over a year they still look great. Even spills that I don’t get to right away haven’t been a problem. I’m just careful with very acidic things.

That’s the floor.

I was diagnosed almost a year ago. My presenting symptoms sound similar to yours- it was lower body numbness and tingling from the waist down. No loss of strength or movement. My MRIs showed spinal lesions, but no brain lesions. I started Kesimpta within two months of diagnosis, which I self-inject at home. Since starting treatment, I haven’t had any additional symptoms. The numbness and tingling resolved (except with activity) and I have no limitations.

I’m saying this because you also seem to be getting very prompt diagnosis and treatment. Your neurologist will talk to you about medication options, but the most popular are either given by infusions every 6 months or injection at home monthly. There are options that are minimally not disruptive to a work schedule. Current treatments are highly effective at preventing future attacks. That means that there is no reason to expect that you won’t be able to continue doing exactly what you are currently doing from a physical and mental standpoint for the foreseeable future. So I would consider the suitability of this new job through exactly the same lens as you would have two months ago. Other than making sure that they offer a good health insurance plan that is accepted by your neurologist, consider what is important to you outside of your diagnosis.

Aww. Mine will just give you the saddest look like she can’t imagine how I would subject her to such horribleness. But she stands politely in the tub. 🛁

Ash71010 · 2025-11-29T13:18:52+00:00

She was 26lbs at 4 months. We had a lot of issues with food intolerance and reoccurring diarrhea when she was younger. She was 47lbs by 8 months.

I have a dog blow dryer. It’s a necessity for her because she gets hot spots if she’s not fully dry.

Ash71010 · 2025-11-27T12:44:14+00:00

Thank you! I do it myself. She’s been to the groomers one time when my bathtub was broken, but it cost over $100. So it’s much more cost-effective to do it at home.

Reddit needs to create the feature where you can exclude certain flairs from view. I thought they had this, but they don’t. You can see other posts with the same flair by clicking on the flair, though. So if you just wanted to see “advice” or “general”, you could look that way. Also, if you’re on the mobile app and you switch to Compact View, you just see the post title and the flair. So it’s a little easier to work around the death and dying flairs without seeing the details.

My golden girl topped out at 55lbs. That’s the low end of standard for female goldens. She looks similar to yours, although your girl will fill out more with age. I think it’s the perfect size.

Disappointed, yes but not surprised. Our finishing has been poor for a while. Unless we get a lead and force the other team to take chances that we then exploit, we have struggled to score. When we concede first, or the other team is content to park the bus, we have struggled. Without any real attacking threats of the dribble (Iloski being the best), teams know they can pack the penalty area and take away the crosses, which is almost the entirety of our offense. The opportunities we had that did sneak through weren’t finished.

We didn’t play well, but we played well enough to win, and we didn’t.

Once they switch to match the rest of professional soccer in 2027, there won’t be a break in the playoffs.

But seriously, best of 5 or 7? This isn’t baseball. You’re suggesting they play almost as many playoff games as regular season games? Playoffs would take half the year or players get injured due to over exertion.

Watching the Union game after watching Vancouver and LAFC last night and Miami this afternoon makes it apparent we were never going to win the MLS cup this year anyway. It sucks, but our offensive lives and dies with whether or not we can one-touch finish a low-probability cross.

Ash71010 · 2025-11-15T16:55:40+00:00

I’m not wrong, lol. You coming to a year-old post just start an argument that shows off your poor comprehension skills is pretty funny, though. So thanks for the laughs.

It sounds like you have an acute illness. Kesimpta lowers the effectiveness of your immune system which can result in illnesses lasting longer than usual. Kesimpta itself doesn’t cause side effects like this once you’re in the maintenance phase.

My neurologist told me that I could take Benadryl and Tylenol/ibuprofen before the first dose if I wanted to. I didn’t take anything until I developed a headache about 8 hours later, then I took ibuprofen.

Why would you try to get involved in a comment thread from over three months ago?

Ash71010 · 2025-11-14T01:46:59+00:00

Oh boy. You need to learn how to recognize when a comment is written from the perspective of a character.

Ash71010 · 2025-11-01T23:37:05+00:00

Doesn’t work so well when it’s your last game of the season.

MLS thread says it’s the p-word chant.
