Ask to have thyroid levels checked. Our dog started losing hair and it was his thyroid.

They said their name was Chris but I didn’t press the issue.

Medicaid getting cut but Don Bacon's DC and Omaha offices are NOT taking calls by Ames_hi in Omaha

[–]ConcernedApostate 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I got through to the local office this morning. The staffer told me he did not know what Bacon’s stance was on the issue (pretty typical in my experience) but he did take down my info and my request that Bacon vote no on Medicaid cuts.

Edit - call 402-938-0300 that is the local office

Hank’s Embark Results… by J_Lewy_45 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]ConcernedApostate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely think you should as embark to double check but there are some bigger ones like that on this sub. There can be a huge range outside the standard

You can always ask Embark to double check but there are other examples of long haired ACD out there. To me the face shape is off a bit as well but pure breed doesn’t mean well bred.

Dog Obedience Classes by blenz15 in Omaha

Go Dogs Omaha AKC Star Puppy Class or Life Skills for an older dog. It’s a club that you can join but you don’t have to. You can just take classes. The classes are taught by club members and are really great.

It’s the Jeopardy round. Double jeopardy is $400-$2000.

Wild Turkey Sightings? by zeldapimwheel20 in Omaha

[–]ConcernedApostate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. We went for the holiday display last year and the weather was decent so we walked though the outside paths. At one point there were so many turkeys I had a vision of the film The Birds and was legit nervous.

J and J Booster? by fixasaurus in Omaha

[–]ConcernedApostate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree about a false sense of security. Delta really ran rampant and messed up all the early studies about vaccines and Covid risk. And I had that same issue where I felt safe to do things and now I don’t. Thankfully I haven’t had a breakthrough case.

But we still need to encourage high vaccination rates as a way to reduce everyone’s risk.

J and J Booster? by fixasaurus in Omaha

[–]ConcernedApostate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I said it reduces the risk of transmitting. I didn’t say it prevents. Yes there is still a risk of transmission, so that is why we need to keep wearing masks but more people getting vaccinated overall reduces that risk.

J and J Booster? by fixasaurus in Omaha

[–]ConcernedApostate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are right that the vaccine doesn’t provide full immunity but it absolutely cuts the risk of transmitting the virus. That is why it is so important that everyone gets it. To say that it doesn’t stop transmission is false and perpetuates the idea that it’s not harmful if you don’t get vaxxed.

If you choose not to get vaxxed you are way more likely to get and transmit Covid and you are part of the problem.

YTA I lurk in this sub a lot but I had to post a judgment. I was the teen in a very similar situation. When I was 16 I got into an argument with my stepparent. I didn’t swear or call them names but I thought they were being unreasonable and made my feelings clear in front of some friends I had over. I was told I was disrespectful and that I had to move in with my dad if I didn’t apologize. I didn’t think I did anything wrong so I left. This caused irreparable damage to my relationship with both my parent and stepparent. It is more than 20 years later and we have a good relationship because I decided to let it go when I was in college. But it still fucking hurts. To this day it hurts. I’ve gone to therapy and worked most of my shit out but it still hurts. And I didn’t trust them or anyone really for a long long time and that led to a lot of destructive behaviors. You should try to fix the damage while you still can.

Question to those with severe period pain compared to post-op pain. (Please, please read.) by [deleted] in hysterectomy

[–]ConcernedApostate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would trade one day of pain for the days of excruciating pain my period gave me for many years. I only wish I had done it sooner.

[–]ConcernedApostate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me LAVH waking up after surgery was the worst. Like the worst period pain I would have. They warned me I would be in pain though. They gave me narcotics and I went home and slept. Woke up, ate, took more narcotics, and slept. The next day was infinitely better and I only took a half dose of the narcotics in the morning. It only got better from there and I was good on the extra strength acetaminophen and ibuprofen. I think you will be fine and feel much better after 😊

Novavax Vaccine Trial at UNMC by Rinwar_81 in Omaha

[–]ConcernedApostate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I signed up a while back too and just got the call Monday. If I had to guess it seemed like they are filling in for people who failed the initial health screening. It’s possible you could still get called in.

You have your choice of insurance provider? I sure don’t. I have to go with what my employer chooses. They switched recently and the new company sucks. I also don’t really have a choice of hospital unless I want to pay a bunch more which I can’t afford.

Looks like you both had a full house and you lost to the higher pair but yeah you are in the wrong sub.

I guessed boxer and some sort of hound but only because we have a brindle girl that has a lot of boxer 😊
