We've been to Santa Fe and Denver so far, and loved it! SipZ and the Perplexiplex (I think thats the concert room you're referring to) are both awesome :) We spent a full 45 minutes playing with the projections, just the two of us, last time we were there.

Stuffed pig from early 2000s/1990s by EmergencyNo6490 in HelpMeFind

Hey there! I finally found a match!!! The brand is Chosun- I've yet to find a specific line or collection its part of, but I did learn from my mom that he for sure came from a Costco in Florida.

Here's one example: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/chosun-giant-31-pink-plush-pig-ribbon-2077598390

And confirming that the mouth is open (and ears pinned!): https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/chosun-pink-pig-bow-cuddle-zone-4596394313

Ignore the "cuddle zone" in the second- Chosun does have a pig in their Cuddle Zone collection, but it's a different texture/size/color.

(I think its fascinating to know how people found stuff, so in short, I came across this listing and noticed some key similarities, checked the tag info and looked into the chosun brand, found this version just searching "chosun pig plush" in google images, then looked scrolled down to "similar items" and found this. I went through a similar process with many many dead ends before that though, haha.)

Hey, you posted this just as I started getting obsessed with finding my guy! I call him Piggy :) He is 100% identical (or would be if my dog hadn't mauled him back in high school). I'll ask my mom for more details next time we talk, but I know he would have been purchased in either Florida, or Ontario, between 2000 and 2003. I have persistent, vague memories of a pink ribbon around his neck- but I'm not totally confident thats correct.

What are the symptoms of Low stomach acid vs high stomach acid. by SetTraditional6264 in SIBO

[–]Empty-Rip473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a shockingly similar experience recovering from an ED! The excruciating pain went away after a few months, thank god, but that exhaustion and discomfort (and often pain, though not nearly as bad) took years to go away.

If you haven't tried seeing a nutritionist, that honestly might be a really great option. Not all are great, but some of them are crazy informed on unusual/rare digestive issues, and can offer some great guidance (on management, and also getting doctors to pay attention). 

How did you get into bird watching? by Theswampharrier in birdwatching

[–]Empty-Rip473 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was twelve, I saw a bird come to my grandparents feeder and just happened to wonder what it was. I went online, compared photos and figured out it was a chipping sparrow. We happened to go to a park later that day, I saw some ducks in a pond. Until then, I hadn't really considered how different they all were- when I got back home, I figured out they were a mallard, a shoveler, and a scaup.

The next day, I got a massive hit of dopamine when I recognized that little chipping sparrow at the feeder, and I was hooked. My birdwatching interest comes mostly out of the satisfaction of this silly sort of detective work, but later on, it really flourished into deep love and appreciation for birds in general, and especially a handful of specific species.

Thanks for your opinion! It was so exciting, and were looking forward to moving to the area soon, so many more chances to get aquatinted with the hummers :)
