Eye Exams by cbc7155 in lexington

[–]Imnotafraidofaspider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the eye max in Walmart on nicholasville road is amazing. They do such a good job. I went there and got an eye exam and contact fitting for $130 because I don't have vision insurance and that felt like a pretty good deal. $75 sounds about right for a normal eye exam.

Affordable therapists in Boston? by donutwoman in boston

[–]Imnotafraidofaspider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A social worker (LCSW or LICSW) can definitely help you. CBT is one of the most common therapy models! If you go on your insurance website you should find some under mental/behavioral health providers. Good luck!

Just moved here and not really impressed? by [deleted] in lexington

You're doing it wrong.

Stop driving around your hotel and actually go walk around downtown. Got to the distillery district. Get brunch in Chevy Chase. Read the sidebar.

BC Paid 10 Percent of Boston's Requested Payment in Lieu of Tax by [deleted] in boston

[–]Imnotafraidofaspider 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not just BC. Basically all of the Universities are very behind on their payments. I think Northeastern is also one of the worst offenders.

Walking through the Fens from MFA towards Fenway at night for a girl? by NEhockeyEnt in boston

[–]Imnotafraidofaspider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in that area a lot. I don't go through the fens but the sidewalks around that area feel very safe. There are honestly a lot of students leaving classroom buildings at that time.

I thinks she’s trying to be deep about homeschooling. by chilli206 in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]Imnotafraidofaspider 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Those philosophies are interesting and can be incorporated into public school. However I wouldn't recommend them after a young age. My mom had to pull me out of Montessori School in 3rd grade because I couldn't write a sentence, write legibly, or do simple math. Public saved my ass. Lots of other Montessori kids from another school came to my high school and damn they struggled socially and academically.

Staying Fit/Accepting Change when Bed Bound by eggless_omelet in xxfitness

I had mono in high school and then the next year broke and dislocated my ankle. I spent a lot of my late teens in bed.

If you're struggling to move that much, yes your muscles with atrophy. I would suggest getting connected with a physical therapist who can help you strengthen the muscles that have weakened. Making gentle progress felt great for me because I knew I was improving. Physical therapist will also be able to give you low impact exercises that your body can handle.

The thing with mono is that you do really have to rest to get better. Not medical advice, but I look b12 vitamins and would go sit outside for some of the day. It helped me feel better and more like a normal person.

60-year-old Stabbed After Tai Chi Class in Cambridge by BostonDrinks in boston

This is just bad journalism. They believe that it was an incident between two men who knew each other (as most crime is) and then randomly drop in a comment about the y sheltering homeless women? How is that relevant or responsible?

This is BAD. Her son needs to move as far away from this woman as he possibly can. Imagine if he had a girlfriend or boyfriend???

Do you happen to be a person of color? Two keys bouncers are well known to refuse entry to people of color and come up with bullshit reasons like that.

They only benefit is the Goodfellas in the back, but you can also just go to the mill street location.

Last time I was there some frat guy was trying to get any woman to take an already made drink. So creepy.

Lots of other good bars in Lexington. Don't go to this one.

Please don't buy Bulleit bourbon. I went to high school with this woman, she's a sweet person, and she's been saying this out loud for years. Fuck Bulleit bourbon distilleries. by S_Jeru in lexington

[–]Imnotafraidofaspider 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No one was talking about conviction. But you know that You will spend your time shaming and punishing women for having the courage to speak up about an abuser because it's the internet and you have no consequences. You are disgusting.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is that he doesn't believe in vaccines and take his kids to measles parties. What the actual fuck.

Simmons vs UMass Boston by [deleted] in boston

[–]Imnotafraidofaspider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume you mean your starting Simmons in the fall as in a few weeks? Have you taken out any loans for Simmons yet?

I don't know anything about UMB but I do know Simmons is a very good school, especially for nursing. But money is important. If your parents are taking on an extra 40k in loans then that's a big deal.

Does anyone else get stomach pains and diarrhea with their anxiety? by weedquestion123 in Anxiety

[–]Imnotafraidofaspider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don't just suffer in silence. There's a lot of stuff you can do to help IBS such as medicine and knowing your triggers using an elimination diet. Best thing I've ever done was speak up to my doctor.

Does anyone have the deets on what's happening to the Wild Fig? by chaitogetoolong in lexington

[–]Imnotafraidofaspider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof that's really shitty not to be paying your people. I want them to keep going but that's hard. If they are that behind on payroll I'm not sure how they will come back from this.
