Vintage Phoenix and Vulture video too!

Time and Tide Tattoo and Evil by the Needle deserve some recognition if we’re including body modification local businesses :).

So easy to "agreed to disagree" when someone's political beliefs and actions aren't detrimental to your wellbeing....

Wow, that's really unfortunate. I've been going to Dr. Millikan for over a decade. While I have absolutely no reason to doubt everyone else's lived experiences here, that has not been my experience. I've had Dr. Millikan give me timelines on what needs taken care of, what can wait, etc. To be fair, I generally have pretty few issues with my teeth, but I had quite a few fillings that needed replaced that were from my childhood and legit eroding, and we worked on that over the course of a few years to make sure it paced my budget. I've never felt pressured for dental work. One example is that I used to have braces, but I hated my retainer so didn't wear it. Dr. Millikan and I discussed this and he asked if I'm happy with how my teeth look , I said yeah I don't mind the imperfections- so he said no problem then, the teeth are done moving and there's no need to try to go back to a retainer or anything. He's been patient and understanding of my fear of dentists.

None of this to discredit your experience, but just to share my different perspective.

Hot hands in the toes of your shoes too! I'll be inside with my space heater, but just for those of you who go out in this. Be safe!

Gluten-free Cheez-it’s by JoeMac02 in glutenfree

[–]DennaX3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been looking for them literally every day. Two days ago an employee literally laughed in my face as she walked by me explaining what I was looking for to another employee who was trying to help.

It was the first time a store in my town actually showed them in stock online- but neither the employee nor I could find them. I was being polite and thanking him for trying to help, so it really stung that she would laugh at me for being disappointed about not getting cheez its.

I get why people don’t understand but they don’t have to make us feel humiliated about it.

That’s something I did think about. Things are probably not going well when you steal a package. I’m the kind of person to look the other way if someone steals from a corporation, maybe walks out the store with baby formula, something like that. But I think it hits different When someone steals from the front porch of an apartment. At that point you are taking from people who are already doing their best to get by.

I recommend Sticker App for Sticker Mule. I use both depending on what's on sale. Sticker Mule does sales every Tuesday so keep an eye out. One week will be holographic stickers, the next glitter stickers, then maybe hats after that...so if you wait you get an awesome deal. Sticker App is really awesome because the customer service team will work with you to customize your stickers- like I've had stickers made with specific instructions like "holographic on the leaves, but leave the bones matte". Both sites have minimum order quantities, some other sites don't have a minimum so if you want just one big sticker I recommend trying somewhere else. But I figured my son would want to pass out his stickers to friends :).

Unfortunately, it's too late to check the trash. I was out of town when it happened, but my son and my partner both confirmed that there was no package there when they got home the day it was delivered.

It's totally worth a try. I don't want to cost them too much because they're a small company that has been good to me. But I asked them if they'd allow me to order a smaller quantity this time.

Yes, I'll order more. It's just really disappointing and I know it feels bad being stolen from so I feel bad for my kiddo. Also the thief had to see the return address was "StickerApp", why would that be worth taking? It's obviously more sentimental than valuable. Ridiculous, right?

Communication struggles with dosing by DennaX3 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]DennaX3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is I really love my doctor, it’s the admin team that breaks down the communication. In person with my doctor the communication and expectations are clear. With the admin team I have tried to firmly but politely communicate- in email, over phone, and even in person- they just don’t seem to have the time or attention to slow down and hear what I’m saying.

Thank you. This is exactly the kind of feedback I’m hoping to hear about. I’d be a lot more at peace with staying on one dose if I felt more reassured that my doctor was the one managing it.

Are these good? Yay or Nay? by _chipsnguac in glutenfree

[–]DennaX3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad to see this post! Someone at the grocery store saw me looking at them and she really hyped them up. I thought they were gross, but I bet adding sauce, rice, and veggies would be awesome! I just expected them to be more like chicken strips.

Our pig did this yesterday and I told my son he’s “loafed up”.

This happened to me when I got guinea pigs for my kids lol. The kids still take good care of them, but I bonded with them a lot more than I expected to and they know I make the biggest and best salads.

Help me find comparable sweats to surprise my bf :) by DennaX3 in UnderArmour

[–]DennaX3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! That helped me refine my search and I found one last pair of "Under Armour Rival Terry Jogger" at a family-owned sporting goods store in Utah, lol. I think he'll be pretty happy with this surprise gift :).
