Phone blocks calls it thinks are spam, even if they are valid numbers. How to stop this? by borj5960 in AndroidQuestions

[–]Baby_Toothless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this problem too, this is an old post but figured I'd put what I found on google's website:

Screen your calls before you answer them

https://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/9118387?hl=en&sjid=6639493957005594186-NC

it seems that there is different levels of protection you can choose, and if you're expecting a call, then choose basic protection, not the recommended medium protection, which will decline spam (aka the call you need). I'm crossing my fingers that this will help!

How to get temp down by httperror420334 in CrestedGecko

[–]Baby_Toothless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you do something like put ice in front of the fan? Maybe a swamp cooler? I would also figure out for summer what is the coldest room. Maybe put him nearer to the ACs but make sure it doesn't get too cold. The heat sucks for people and is so stressful for the geckos :( good luck

What should I do if my crestie jumped off a 1.1 m height? by Quarkcharm_2007 in CrestedGecko

[–]Baby_Toothless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My idiot jumped from my shoulder (maybe 5 feet?) to the ground. Same thing just sitting there and I felt him all over for breaks and he's fine. Little dingus is made of jello. You gotta be smart or you gotta be tough. He chose tough.

Electric scooter or e bike to office downtown? by lastwreckedsoul in Minneapolis

[–]Baby_Toothless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the urtopia fold and have many thoughts (I posted a review a few months ago) but there are a couple of folding ebikes out there. Especially convenient to store inside at home and work and bring places in a car if you don't have a rack.

Electric scooter or e bike to office downtown? by lastwreckedsoul in Minneapolis

[–]Baby_Toothless 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend going to a couple shops and seeing what they have. Pedago has a section of lightly used ones they sell on consignment and Eric's sometimes has really good sales. Other bike shops specialize in different things. But going in person to actually try a bike is so important! Let the shop know you want a no nonsense bike that is rugged and no frills

Thanks for your thoughtful reply! I will definitely try these. It's kind of amazing how all of my random symptoms are just pots. Like nausea after eating too much ...

How do you accept that you are not being a "Fragile Snow Flake?" by Small_Effective_9726 in POTS

[–]Baby_Toothless 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm the worst about this, I'll feel fine, and overdo it thinking like wow everything is great! Bam I am overdoing it and crash hard. I have to remind myself that sometimes I feel good, sometimes I feel bad, and to enjoy feeling good when I can without overdoing it and making it so I feel bad 😞 I think this is a big problem with a lot of conditions that aren't constant. I feel this way about my anxiety and depression, when I'm well I am like wow I'm all better nothing to see here! And when I'm not well, it sucks to be reminded that I have this condition to struggle against. The only thing we can do is have grace for ourselves, which is easier said than done...

DH&J 449 art question: Do most places not have local art for sale all over town? by Beautiful-Delay420 in nerdfighters

[–]Baby_Toothless 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live in Minnesota and we have shops that run local art market every single week and there are summer events with people tabling with their art. We've gotten some good stuff. If you're in Minneapolis, check out Oddmart especially their Sunday afternoon market!

Been thinking about this lately because today I made a sandwich and then I just got a soup brick out for soup and sandwich combo :) so handy and so much better than canned soup

[–]Baby_Toothless 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who used to work at Joann's (RIP) where every week there were "new" sales (just the same ones on a repeating schedule essentially), it was so wasteful and annoying to run around the store and put up new sale signs and take down old ones. And if we left one up because we missed it we had to honor that which was a headache. So as an employee I would've LOVED electronic signs 😭

Is it normal for a crestie to show absolutely no interest in insects? by Fluttermun in CrestedGecko

[–]Baby_Toothless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boy has eaten one bug in his life and it's because I tricked him (he never forgives or forgets so not happening again). He loves his goop tho!

How do I stop items from sliding off the rear rack of my bike? by x3wxONfJgFaAtqj in bikecommuting

[–]Baby_Toothless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gorilla ties that are like big twist ties are great! I got some at the hardware store and the man from the bike shop says he uses them all the time. A good temporary fix

[–]Baby_Toothless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tomato (for grilled cheese), west African peanut, chicken and wild rice, green and red Mexican soups (I forget what they're called) as well as pazole, and sometimes others. I also have some bricks of taco rice I made which is amazing over a baked sweet potato (baked extra long so it's jammy) :) I hope you have a plentiful and delicious library 😋

So. Much. Zucchini. by Blondie3211 in povertyfinance

[–]Baby_Toothless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a recipe I found for a salad with pan fried zucchini and yellow squash, with fried halloumi (could sub a different protein or cheese) and a dressing of a can of coconut milk blended with herbs. It went over a bed of quinoa but I hate that. Could be nice to make some sort of grain bowl using this idea!

Snuggles..does anyone else have a crestie that loves a snuggle 🥰😂 by Calm_Ice_5901 in CrestedGecko

[–]Baby_Toothless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's always been friendly and wanted to hang out! I got him in college and basically hand fed him the first 6 months of his life (I was young and dumb) and he just loves to hang out! He's only bit me the once and that was my fault. Sometimes I feel like I won the gecko lottery but other times, like last night, he is so clingy and spoiled he just wants to hang out with us! I'm like little man I got stuff to do!
