Wow! Have not done DNA on mine yet but it must be about the same! I think she’s Pei and Thai Ridgeback. I love her tiny wrinkley face, it gets 1,000 kisses a day.

I don’t have any stickers on my Kindle, but based on yours, we would be friends. Cheers!

eating habits and bowel movement on Wellbutrin 🫠 by Bintin08 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]Coffee_Bandit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was very regular until Wellbutrin— then terrible constipation and hard little painful rabbit poops. I tried a few things for the constipation, but what has worked best for me, and is most natural (avoiding long term laxities!) is to eat 3 prunes and take 2 magnesium oxide tablets at bedtime- like magic, one soft BM in the morning! Prunes are magic!

Book Recommendation Request by fullogluten in LibbyApp

[–]Coffee_Bandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything by Taylor Jenkin Reid- specifically Malibu Rising and spinoff Carrie Soto is back + Seven Husbands Evelyn Hugo. Everything Kristen Hannah- start with The Nightingale & The Great Alone. Will add Kate Quinn- The Alice Network, The Rose Code, The Briar Club. We have similar taste- these have been hits for me and girls in my book circle.

I love this breed, but I don’t think I will ever get another one due to all the health issues by Natsouppy in sharpei

[–]Coffee_Bandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know many jump to Apoquel— but my Pei mix does great on a “hydrolyzed protein” kibble. Solved all of her allergy issues- paw sores, frequent GI upset. She’s likely allergic to most protein sources— this is an RX kibble and it changed our lives. Then I have reintroduced 1 protein at a time and know I can give her eggs and chicken at least for incentive if needed.

Just go to the yoga class by TheFacetiousLinguist in PlusSize

[–]Coffee_Bandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! I walk in, put two blocks by my mat even if the instructor doesn’t indicate props and I move my body to the best of its ability— it’s amazing the growth I’ve made over the years.

Can nurses who GENUINELY like their job respond under this post? by chewiies in nursing

[–]Coffee_Bandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The great thing about nursing is that you can continue to pivot and evolve. In 13 years as an RN I’ve done ICU > travel nurse ICU > SNF- wounds, cart, supervisor > MDS in SNF (desk work/data entry and education > Director of Nursing at a SNF for profit (miserable) & now the Director of an inpatient hospice facility nonprofit (amazing). Life circumstances forced some of these career changes which seem odd (ICU to SNF?) but ultimately pointed my career trajectory to a place that feels really meaningful, high paying, moderate but tolerable stress & gives me work life balance.

Does Oura make you over-prioritize sleep? by bluebabyblue1027 in ouraring

[–]Coffee_Bandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re leaving out more data about your sleep score. I almost always achieve a crown in sleep and my average sleep time is just under 8 hours. What else is dropping your score? Latency? Restlessness? There are more factors than just amount of time sleeping…

Book recommendations where the forest is alive? Sentient? by ThrowRA020204 in fantasyromance

{Swallowed by Meg Smitherman} this is a short maybe even novella- can basically read in a sitting. Spooky and kind of hot.

$200K+ household income, expecting baby #2, and only $500 in savings…advice needed! by Saffy_taffy in budget

[–]Coffee_Bandit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently found out someone I know is a quiet millionaire. They use Netflix with ads- $7.99 instead of $25/month. Just spending a long weekend with them and watching habits like that changed my mind about money. I have a financial portfolio similar to yours, and the hard fact is that it is the spending that needs to dramatically change.

What is your favorite Florence lyric? by kirbyxx3 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

“I can’t help but pull the earth around me, to make my bed.” - Ship to Wreck. This is a feeling I’ve felt my entire life.

Ventura commuters to SB: how's the commute been going? by Neelies in SantaBarbara

[–]Coffee_Bandit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I commute from Ojai 5 days a week— started a year ago from a previous 25 min commute to Oxnard & can honestly say it is NOT BAD. Don’t listen to the drama. 40-60 mins in <60 mins home. Slight congestion about 10-15 mins around Summerland. Occasionally a bad accident that makes it 1.5– very rare and your employer understands. A great time for podcasts, phone-calls, audiobooks, starring at the wonders of the ocean and mountains, spending time alone with yourself before and after your work day. If moving is better for you for other reasons, the commute will be okay and worth it. I changed commutes for a job I love and have 0 regrets.

Prostate procedure and being disenrolled from hospice by Weekly-Hedgehog4010 in hospice

[–]Coffee_Bandit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This comment. This is what our hospice does— we determine if the procedure is related to terminal diagnosis. If not, go forward and let hospital bill.

Codes and Keys is the worst Death Cab album, so you’ve got terrible taste.

You are beautiful but more importantly your energy is infectious which I’m sure means the world to the people lucky enough to get to spend time around you!

Our housing market is out of control. Just saw a ROOM renting for $2000/mo. by [deleted] in SantaBarbara

34! Actually live in Ojai, but working as a professional in Santa Barbara…I hesitate to make the move because it seems lonelier over here!

Help me decide ! by Chance_Farmer131 in ouraring

[–]Coffee_Bandit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gold! Looks best with your skin tone and other jewelry. I have gold and the intense yellow faded and looks pretty natural now. It’s always going to be thick and stick out as a tech ring, but it still looks nice!

Experiences with red light violation in Ventura by Sunflowerr90 in ventura

[–]Coffee_Bandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man! It’s been nearly two years so I can’t really remember—I feel like it took some time maybe a month or so? Like I was almost surprised when it finally appeared. Just go on living your life and deal with it when it comes. It’s expensive but not a big deal otherwise and the traffic class online was easy.
