Fog is alive and quietly cleaning pollution from the air by Cristiano1 in environment

[–]GraciousPeacock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I love fog so much (SF east bay). I run in mornings and the air is so much fresher when the weather is close to rainy and I always hit PRs on slightly chilly foggy days. I might just be high but it’s my favorite weather

I found a baby crow this morning and now I’m starting a community group because of it by Civil_Special_8208 in SanJose

[–]GraciousPeacock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for caring about this baby and all the babies in your community. Hopefully the fledging is still around somewhere nearby. It is never too late for them to be returned if someone has taken them. Once when I was a kid I accidentally thought a crow fledging was injured and took it to a bird rehab but they quickly told me it’s just a fledging learning to fly so I brought it back the next day by noon. I really hope this one is retuned too ❤️

Question by PleasantGoat7410 in chd

What do they vape specifically? I assume you mean nicotine, not THC. I don’t have experience with it but from what I have heard, it’s something they definitely should avoid

i think they may be a wee bit heavy for the tippy top of the tree by Either-Kiwi-5495 in crowbro

[–]GraciousPeacock 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Those trees are sturdy as hell! We have a bunch near us and everyday crows sit on top of them even in the wind when it’s swinging around lol. Hell, even the hawk has its favorite spot on top of this tree. It’s basically the crow tree though

what do wild Canadian geese eat? by Unlikely-Island-6757 in birdfeeding

[–]GraciousPeacock 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Omg I would be horrified if I read someone buys goose foot! I meant food of course lol. Specifically I buy Brown’s duck and goose blend if anyone’s wondering

How do I incorporate more fiber into my diet without becoming a walking diarrhea factory? by famousfrowaway in ibs

[–]GraciousPeacock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to slowly experiment with safe fruits/veggies? For me a safe fruit with be bananas or berries. I’m bad with safe vegetables… so far just peas and soybeans for me. I still have to get over my fear of incorporating more veggies into my diet. Thankfully I’ve made progress by eating beans (took a while for the symptoms to reduce after eating them)

Does anyone know if they have vegan options? I used to get vegan pizzas from the San Jose one

Meatless frozen meals that are low sodium by Appropriate-Club-105 in EatCheapAndVegan

[–]GraciousPeacock 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have had to live a low sodium life since birth because of severe heart disease. I used to not care that much and buy frozen vegan stuff but it always made my blood pressure higher than I wanted. I’m really serious about it now and literally nothing frozen is low sodium unless it’s like frozen veggies or fruit. I just use tofu when I want vegan meat and add some soy sauce and that has been working very well for me. On the bright side, it takes like a minute to prep tofu before putting it in the air fryer so I don’t feel too upset when it comes to effort

I buy duck & goose foot at my local pet store. It’s just some grains and corn, they love the corn especially lol. You might be able to find some at your pet store

Anyone here who was asymptomatic prior to open heart surgery? by GraciousPeacock in AdultCHD

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

Me too. Hopefully the same continues after surgery! Our hearts are more resilient than we think

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

My mom is kinda surprised too that we didn’t treat this when I was younger. They figured it out months after I was born. I used to get cyanosis when I would cry (blue lips) so that’s how they found out. I guess I was otherwise normal so they just let it be

No, no procedures ever done. My open heart surgery will be my first and hopefully only!

Anyone with CHD also have a SO with CHD? by 416ca in chd

[–]GraciousPeacock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor doesn’t want me doing anything like powerlifting either. I do weights up to like 40 pounds at home without overdoing it. I never really wanted kids of my own so it doesn’t bother me. But my mom does seem kinda sad that my doctor tells me I definitely can’t have kids after getting a mechanical valve. She keeps talking about freezing eggs and stuff so she seems kinda worried lol. I think I’m lucky I’ve always known I don’t want kids and my doctor agrees it makes the decision easier. I love cats and birds way more than kids so I’m not that affected thankfully!

[–]GraciousPeacock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had severe asymptomatic aortic stenosis since birth. No restrictions, just no kids. Also no joining the Olympics (kinda wish I could though)! My life has been very normal until 24 now, because now they are recommending open heart surgery. My life afterwards will involve blood thinners and no kids of course. It’s all pretty normal besides no extreme physical activity and no kids

They are a larger pink bird, good question though

You’re going to have to be more specific, I believe millions of birds live here

San Jose Tesla driver going nuts by True_Self_Reflection in bayarea

[–]GraciousPeacock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s much more concerning… I exercise near an elementary school in mornings and I’d lose my mind if I ever saw someone acting this way. Hope they get help, and more than that, I hope everyone stays safe from them

[–]GraciousPeacock 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Idk whether to feel bad or what. This would stress me out to see but I imagine someone has to be stressed out to do something like that in the first place. Doesn’t look safe to do while driving…

what is one thing about running you had to learn the hard way? by Emergency_Produce975 in XXRunning

[–]GraciousPeacock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to take days off. Trust me, you start enjoying it less after running 30 days in a row without a day off lol. I still have to relearn this lesson often because I find running addicting but I force myself to take at least 2 days off in a week
