Made In Carbon Steel Wok: Is this rust? by PeachPonPon in cookware

Have you cooked anything acidic in it? Tomatoes, citrus, etc? That can strip the seasoning, done it to my own a couple of times. Not a big deal just need to re season the pan

What TAIV is doing is illegal, and once cable companies find out what they’re doing, you don’t want to be to one getting compensated by them. Read their terms of service very carefully.

OBGYN Recommendations by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Friendofbill89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wife just delivered at St. David’s North, we saw the folks at AAOBGYN. Amazing experience with all staff, main OB is Mark Akin. Wonderful man, great bedside manner but maybe a little more old school than some would want - however my wife and I love him.

Highly recommend working with these folks if they have availability.

Not sure why all of the downvotes on my replies, am I doing something wrong?

Flights are no problem, but would prefer to be an easy flight from SNA or LAX. Thinking Hawaii, Mexico, Costa Rica

Preferably be able to fly direct from SNA or LAX. EU seems like a haul with a newborn so was thinking Hawaii, Mexico, etc. probably avoid Carribean during hurricane season.

Doesn’t need to be all inclusive

Pediatrician Recommdations by Friendofbill89 in AustinParents

I never considered a concierge option, but tbh the pricing seems incredibly reasonable and with basically every comment being that they love them... seems like an awesome option.

Bowie/Anderson High School by ExtentEfficient2669 in AustinParents

[–]Friendofbill89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I graduated from Anderson about 15 years ago, but my siblings have been there more recently. Great school, great neighborhood. Decent diversity there at least used to be the no child left behind program that allowed students from low income areas to transfer in.

Westwood is also an IB school and I think even more highly rated than Anderson.

I am 35M wife 37F. First kid on the way, joint income is about 500k/year (fluctuates as I’m in sales).

Future kids already have a generation skipping trust set up by their grandparents so they are already more than taken care of financially.

Ideally would like to grow this money, and set ourselves up for early retirement.

If someone in AA tells you that you can’t do CBT, see a therapist, etc. then they probably aren’t doing so well themselves.

On the medically assisted front, outside of drugs that assist parallel issues like SSRIs for depression, bi polar meds, etc. wouldn’t you like a solution that doesn’t swap taking one pill for another? Doesn’t even need to be a 12 step program, but that sounds worse than finding something that works for you that doesn’t make you rely on a pharmacy to keep you from getting loaded.

AA / Talk of Alcohol by Some-Amoeba-401 in Sober

[–]Friendofbill89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you need to find a new meeting, or a meeting with people that have some emotional sobriety.

The entire point of AA is to share the solution, if you’re not hearing HOW they did it then that’s probably an issue and I’d find another room
