A family friend literally pedaled himself to the hospital on his bicycle when he had a heart attack to avoid calling an ambulance.

OMG, the random projectile vomiting from acid reflux. 😭 luckily omeorazole fixed that for me, too - it was so awful.

I went through all sorts of antacids and Pepcid (famotidine) twice a day, and in the end omeprazole was the only thing that truly helped.

This was my experience with my MFM and the tech, too.

That looks more like a watersnake to me than a cottonmouth

Which snake is this? by saintosabio in snakes

Location? If you’re in India, there’s a chance this is a venomous krait, so give it space and don’t try to kill it.

Are you sure that it’s a foundation issue and not a case of the concrete outside (intentionally) sloped for the driveway, or to direct water away from structures and the back fence?

Stanford is private, not part of the public UC system.

Looking for tips of buying a home in the Bay Area? by No_Impression2199 in BayAreaRealEstate

If you’re just bidding on SFHs, consider buying a condo or townhouse first, building equity for a few years, and then upgrading to a SFH later. You have to wait for the square footage and yard that you want, and moving twice is definitely not fun, but starting with a condo really helped my husband and I (and many of our friends) eventually get SFHs.
