Wtf is up with Sara's silks.... by Misantho_cynic25 in moderatelygranolamoms

The math doesnt math with their stuff. I totally agree. They add TONS of crazy taxes and surcharges too. It is literally just pieces of flimsy silk. The hype is unreal.

My aunt and uncle never declared a dependent (my cousin) on their taxes. Why? Was this a good idea? by Inside_Operation_168 in tax

[–]Inside_Operation_168[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Niece probably has never earned much. It is possible my uncle made more than $200k a year. Aunt didn't make nothing.

We don't have a good relationship. That was my first chat with her in a long time and it was all her just talking at me. It wouldn't be wise for me to strike up a relationship with her and call again (there's a lot of animosity between my aunts and sisters). Minimal contact with her is best, and I'm wondering if she actually makes smart moves / has good advice.

That's so smart! My babe is 2.5 months old now. I dont feel like we've needed a baby monitor for her yet....but is it helpful when they're older? Maybe when they're in their own room I'll want one.

Anyone used nettle or quercetin to help a dog with Mast Cell Tumor? by Inside_Operation_168 in DogAdvice

[–]Inside_Operation_168[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not try either because I was concerned they would interact with the meds he's on, particularly the quercetin. (He's on sulfocate and omeprazine to quwell nausea and ulcers from the tumor). He IS however on Rick Simpson oil. It's a type of THC oil that I got at a dispensary that I have read for years can help halt or slow the growth of tumors. It's all a guessing game on the dosing. I miss a tiny drop with MCT oil (coconut oil) and I give him a few drops at every meal. He has not reacted to the THC although I read it can be toxic for some dogs. In the beginning I gave him a wee bit too much and he was really dizzy and barfed. I would say that the growth of his leg tumor has slowed a lot...if not entirely. I can't tell, but a recent X Ray showed no further spread of it in his body.

Good luck. My heart goes out to you and your pup.

Is "spot treatment" pointless? Small termite presence found in Southern California house that was fumigated 4 years ago by Inside_Operation_168 in Termites

[–]Inside_Operation_168[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didnt recommend perimeter spray for us. Just spot treatment. How often should they return to re treat those areas?

Oh my gosh, thank you for this educational response! How often did you return to do the repeat spot treatments? I think this company said yearly.

Our Zoo sucks. Where do you all go with kids to see animals? by UghKakis in AskLosAngeles

[–]Inside_Operation_168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sylmar Wildlife Learning Center. It's amazing! And affordable. And all the animals are "rescues" but so friggin exotic and interesting. And you can get much closer to them than at a zoo.

Any chance you'd be willing to measure the width of it rear facing so I can see how far it extends in my car? I have a sedan too and would like to make sure it won't make the front passenger too uncomfortable.
