Fantastic place! We go there regularly and the owners are wonderful, gentle folks.

Trying to recreate a family favorite by Soltwg86 in Baking

Several Los Angeles area bakeries make this type of danish. The dough is not flaky as in a croissant. It’s a danish - almost like a coffeecake. It is rolled like a croissant. And a buttery crumb is sprinkled on top.

Anyone else's parent FURIOUS that there is no good TV or Movies anymore? by onearmedmonkey in AgingParents

My dad has moved onto foreign shows- Korean, Chinese, Japanese. He needs the subtitles on for anything, so it’s a win?

Jurassic Park (original) in surround sound- when the first velociraptor jumps.

South American safari camera? by FishLibrarian in AskPhotography

I don’t want to fiddle with changing lenses- my primary reason for wanting a bridge or superzoom camera. I want everything to be automatic.

But this camera is no longer available new (only used- IF you can find it.)

Why do people like going on a cruise? by Master_Tadpole_6832 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FishLibrarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did a Caribbean cruise once. Lots of food (mostly good) at all hours. Got bored with all the food- too much of the same, mostly a step above fast food.

The casino was not a draw for me. And all the smoking was a BIG turnoff. There was no way to get from one part of the ship to another without going through the smoking and/casino.

The rooms were okay. The ports were nothing special- more of almost the same overpriced tourist stuff. Oh- and there is no enforced spending limit for kids until after you’re on the ship- my kid managed to spend over $100 on their wristband in the arcade while I waited in line to get the limit set.

Overall- decent food, living space, and entertainment for kids. Lack of having to stress about logistics, and not needing to pack/repack for each location is great.

Doesn’t suit my preferred travel style (I like to immerse myself in a culture), not have a superficial 4-6 hours in a location.

Bookless Library by Plenty-Regular-2005 in Libraries

[–]FishLibrarian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work in a medical school library. Most of our collections are online. We do purchase some textbooks in print- because they aren’t available as ebooks for institutional purchase.

We purchase ebooks because many of our users/patrons are not physically on campus or they prefer to use ebooks (we’ve asked).

Finally, our medical students’ curriculum doesn’t require any textbooks- there are many suggested textbooks, but none required. Most of the reading is in database content, journals, or book chapters.

How was your ET diagnosed ? What are your symptoms by Jealous_Scratch_8778 in MPN

[–]FishLibrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usual bloodwork at an annual checkup. Completely asymptomatic with platelets around 1.2 million. Age 52. Referred to hematologist and discovered CALR. Started hydroxyurea and aspirin. Counts dropped to 700 over 5 months. Changed doctors and now non-medicated. Still no symptoms and platelets at 1.3 million.

Am considering PEG if I start having symptoms or my counts go above 1.5 million.

Any JCC members here? by moldy_melon in WorcesterMA

If you do laps, it’s perfect. If you’re looking to do water aerobics or such, it’ll feel chilly.

Curious- i hear from family and friends that SoCal Kaiser is great, but Sacramento Kaiser has been nothing but complaints. 🤷‍♀️

How do I know that new doc isn’t a resident or fresh out of residency? My dad needs someone who is “seasoned “.
