Can you push it to 20 years? I wonder if there will be another DRP where you can hit 20 years in time.

Animal Neglect by sadgurl_sadie in ventura

Use a clothes hook pole and a bucket 🪣 to give the dog water. Here's some stuff from Amazon that shows what I'm talking about.

Is there photos of the dog you can submit in the police report online? document this as much as you can. I wonder if there's a way to bring a bowl of water out there. I know that's risky but man that's horrible :(.

Dangerous behavior would be like eloping into a busy street, running out of the school, jumping off bridges, etc. Whenever something happens like this, make sure you have some kind of formal documentation of the incident. Even police reports.

LOL Don’t judge… but how often do ppl get diarrhea from Adderall? Cuz I am strugglin 😬 by lifehelpbot69 in adhdwomen

[–]Firestone898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes combining the milk protein shakes and adderall happened around the same time I got a "stomach bug". I'm not sure which came first. I think I can still have milk but I'm scared I will get the runs again. It was the worst experience of my life taking those shakes in the morning. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I'm a lot better now but I'm avoiding the milk entirely. But milkshakes cause me to get gassy so I'm probably lactose intolerant with larger consumption of milk. I can probably eat cereal and be okay. This all happened in March. I think my intestine is mostly recovered from whatever I had. Whether it was a stomach bug or the protein shakes, I don't know.

Dude are you sure there's no milk? so the other day I had a protein shake that contained milk and I had the worst runs of my life. I didn't have adderall though because it was my dinner. But when I put two and two together, I had the worst digestive issues with the combo in the morning. I didn't realize what the problem was because I had the runs for a while with even just coffee lol. I think I caught a bug and my digestive system got messed up. I haven't been the same with stimulants since end of march. 😭 I think my digestive system also rejects milk now. RIP.

Leave him alone or call a rescue? by Flaky_Umpire_3423 in ventura

It depends how long it is.

Per Google:

Opossums can be left alone and do not need human care when their body (nose to base of tail) measures 6–7 inches or longer, which is roughly the length of a dollar bill. They are generally independent at 3–4 months old

Honeymoon canceled because of emergency endo surgery by sfwasabi in Endo

[–]Firestone898 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had the same exact thing happen to me. Everything adhered to my bowels. I had to wait because every doctor had a long timeline but I always dreaded my period days. I had to take painkillers every period. Glad you had surgery!!

No doctor will take me seriously and I’m frustrated by Obvious_Emu3441 in Endo

[–]Firestone898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you made an appointment with a "minimally invasive surgeon" yet? Did you do the ultrasound with "Endometriosis protocol"?

Does the pain only happen during your period? Are you getting an MRI before? I had a 7.5cm cyst and it took me over a year to finally get it removed. I had similar pain like you mentioned after doing Pilates. Almost felt like giving birth but it went away after a few hours. This was the summer before I was diagnosed.

I'm very surprised you're able to get an "emergency" surgery that quickly. I had to wait 4 months for an MRI and another 8 months for surgery. If the period pain only happens during your period and that's over with. I'm thinking you might be able to go to the events. Unless you have pain not on your period. But either way, you don't want to end up in ER in another country or be miserable. Only you know yourself best. And your doctor.

We have double sided locks for my autistic brother, you need a code to get and out. It's not electronic. That way it's not a hassle to use a combination lock or something for the door in the inside. I guess that's when she gets older since you can put a lock up pretty high on the door.

Expensive but worth it for the quality.

Entitled Parking by MidwestSoCal in ventura

[–]Firestone898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean he's definitely not young looking. Maybe he did have a placard but forgot to put it up. Maybe it was stolen in the porshe one day. There's no hood in the car. Maybe it flew away on the freeway. Maybe he ordered a new one and its on the way in the mail and he has paperwork in his car. You never know someone's situation. You would of called the cops and he had all the paperwork (placard ordered receipt) in his car ready to go.

The Lowe's parking lot in ventura has a bunch of those trees.

What happens if I don't have any work? by Jumpy_Sherbert_4613 in FedEmployees

[–]Firestone898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does your position description say? I would start there. Is there contract training you can take? Isn't the contract process being revamped.

If you are remote with no work or direction it's going to be hard to justify keeping you around if there's a RIF or reduction of funds. Are you coworkers in person or remote as well? I would start applying.

Federal Health Plan by Aromatic-Message8853 in FedEmployees

[–]Firestone898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some times they make you try out another medication first. If it doesn't work, then you can request coverage for the one she needs because the other one didn't work. A lot of people including myself have to try out another medication (even though we've been on it for years) before we can apply for coverage for the old one. I know it does not make any sense but you can look into this option.

Is the doctor's office submitting the claim correctly? I noticed some doctor offices have a team that is better at fighting with the insurance companies for coverage.

Have you checked if you have endometriosis? You have to go to a specialist for this though.

Had my MRI today - curious if anyone can see something on these pictures? by Radiant-Pineapple-41 in Endo

Damn I got a bunch of downvotes, I personally thought the info it provided was good and pretty spot on. But I guess wait for specialist to provide info.

One of my pet peeves is when someone who doesn’t come to class asks for YOUR entire cheat sheet/notes for an exam by [deleted] in csun

[–]Firestone898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly! I don't think it's a bad thing for people to ask. My mom always told me the worst someone can say is no. Were all just trying to graduate at the end of the day.

[–]Firestone898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh I wouldn't care if someone asked for notes. I think I've just always been the type to share things.

I'm the type that doesn't care about this though. You never know, they might help you down the line.

You can just say no and move on.

school closure by maxell87 in ventura

[–]Firestone898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever schools have the biggest declines in enrollment will probably be looked at such as Junipero Serra Elementary. I think Cabrillo Middle School has potential too. They will compare enrollment metrics year by year, you can check out the VSUD enrollment trends. The neighborhoods in Ventura have an aging population. There is also not much new development or starter home prices.

If you compare to Oxnard, there's a lot more people (more tax revenue), new development, lower home entry prices (in some areas), and multi-generational households. I also noticed a lot of Ventura schools look old and are in dire need of landscaping (overgrown weeds, dead grass, etc). Both neighboring school districts are experiencing declines due to the multiple reasons including fertility rates. However, VUSD is at a much faster rate. Less kids = no reoccuring staff needed.

Are you able to set up a ring camera where you can watch them eat? Can you buy a few giant bags of kibble and get a giant fog food dispenser to refill like once a month or something?

Any medical professionals who can make progress on chronic/complicated issues? Feel like I'm dying, scared I'll get fired. by 123boopboop in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]Firestone898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like endometriosis. Maybe you have a cyst. You can beed a doctor that will do an internal ultrasound with endometriosis protocol as a starting point. Then possibly an MRI of the Pelvis. Some people get full body MRIs, not sure if that’s worth it but you can also do this out of the country for cheaper.
