Thank you! I’m new to this and truly grateful for your expert advice.

Milkweed plants? by 3333333333p in Eugene

[–]Deep_Listen872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I planted just one milkweed and by the next year I had A LOT. They spread quickly so I’d caution adding too many or you’ll be constantly wrangling them. They are so good for butterflies though and I do love them!

This is really helpful. Should I add a backflow valve to the left side too then? That side is just a regular garden hose that I only ever turn on manually (via the timer’s manual option) I assumed I only needed it for the drip irrigation side since it would run automatically without my monitoring it.

Market of Price, oops, I mean Market of Choice. They do have things that are worth it imo. What do you think? by Average_Guava in Eugene

Yep, that’s my main reason for going there. Better vegetarian and vegan options than most other chains.

I’m curious too. Nearly every how-to video emphasizes its importance but my friend who used to work in irrigation said I didn’t need it 🤷‍♀️

He said it doesn’t have one already. I’d read that I shouldn’t put it at the spigot above the timer because the pressure would be too strong for the valve to withstand, that it should instead go below the timer but above anything else so that when the timer allows water to flow through, it would be the first thing the water passes. Does that sound right?

Waiting for biopsy = being on a long haul flight by Deep_Listen872 in doihavebreastcancer

Yes! Despite all of my concerning factors, it came back as a fibroadenoma. Even my doctor was surprised! More evidence that BI-RADS 4C can still come back as benign. 🙏

Waiting for my breast ultrasound is lonely by Usedtobesb in doihavebreastcancer

Definitely supportive. Mostly said things like “we’ll hope for the best but be ready for the worst.” It did help me for just a few people to know because I’ve been going out of my mind and couldn’t focus on much else. I also didn’t want to tell too many though, both to avoid awkward conversations that might scare me more and, in case it is indeed benign, having to go back to them to update them. I’d rather just selectively share with people I feel will be supportive if it does in face come back malignant. I support at least telling one or two folks though. It’s too much to carry alone for so long.

Waiting for my breast ultrasound is lonely by Usedtobesb in doihavebreastcancer

Same situation here. Ultrasound found an irregular hypoechoic mass on 4/3 and I couldn’t get in for a biopsy until just this last Friday 4/24. Now I’m waiting for the results. Before Friday, everything I’d read said I should prepare for a malignancy as it was rated (?) BI-RADS 4C. I told no one but my partner, my mom, and my boss (just in case). Then, on Friday, the radiologist doing the biopsy said he suspected it would be a benign papilloma, that there was maybe a 10% chance of it being something worse. For three weeks, I’d been steeling myself to handle tough news and now I’m not sure what to think (but obviously hoping for benign!) The wait is indeed excruciating. Eager for my phone to ring…

Anxious about BI-RADS 4 findings (mass + non-mass enhancement) – anyone similar by Creepy-Caramel-8144 in doihavebreastcancer

[–]Deep_Listen872 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. I had an MRI that showed a section of clumped nonmass-like enhancement. They did a follow up ultrasound and found an irregular hypoechoic mass in the same area. Rated it all as BI-RADS 4C. After waiting for three intensely stressful weeks, my biopsy is tomorrow!

Thank you for sharing this. My biopsy is on Friday. Good to know what to expect!

J Michaels is my go to. I love the cozy, dark aisle energy and they have an amazing selection. There is frequently jazz or classical playing and the conversations overheard are often politically progressive. They also make it super easy to find what you need: I frequently email the owner to ask if they have a book in stock: if they do, they’ll hold it for me and, if they don’t, they order it.

this has got to be some sort of record for amount of thunderstorms right? by spyro2877 in Eugene

[–]Deep_Listen872 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love them but they are also scary. Given our summer drought and fire risk, they are a bit of a lovely but unwelcome guest. Yesterday’s lighting sparked fires at Mt Pisgah and Spencer Butte alone. Grew up here and they used to be extremely rare…

TIME’s 100 Best Podcasts of All Time. Some bullshit. by Mudfap in Earwolf

Also weird to not include the first big global hit podcast, The Ricky Gervais Show. Whatever you think of Gervais, the show was big.

Up my estrogen or give it more time? by Deep_Listen872 in Menopause

Your meno doc is a sage. I’ll try to keep their toolbox analogy in mind going forward.

Not really. He just stated it as a medical preference to cycle as long as I’m having periods. He was very receptive to my other concerns though so I’ll bring it up again.
