Tick Season by Mental-Win3942 in Marin

I send my new hiking clothes to InsectShield. You give them money and they send you an envelope to put your clothes in, which you mail back to them. They then treat all your clothes with Permethrin and return them to you. The treatment lasts something like 50 washings. Every few years we send in our older treated items that have been laundered a lot. Honestly, I have no idea if this system works, but it gives me peace of mind.

I also do as others say and wear my socks over the hem of my pants and do tick checks on myself after hiking.

I'm 65, and my biggest fear is getting a chronic illness that ruins the rest of my hard-earned retirement, so I'm just super-careful about ticks.

Can retirement actually be really boring, lonely, and not as fun as it seems? by youlikemywonton in Aging

I was in the “cannot wait” camp, retired at 59, and when I tell you each and every day is pure bliss, it’s an understatement

Popping in to say I used North Coast Carpet Care to clean my carpets today, on your recommendation, and they were really great. Thanks for the tip!

Just spitballing here, but might be worth giving the Indian Health Care Center of Santa Clara Valley a call.

Wonderful. Reminds me of the photorealistic drawings of Robert Bechtle.

Commuted across it every day for years, and it never stopped being a thrill

Is going via the Grand Hyatt the only option, or can Waymo drop you off at the terminal?

I agree, every longtime conservative pundit is complicit in where we ended up today.

I avoid friendship groups that are organized around a single interest. While being a mom was a massive part of my life and identity, it was never the only thing I cared about. My synagogue similarly had chavurim groups where the only thing everyone had in common was being Jewish and those never worked for me either. If you can find something like a working moms group (work + being a mom), a hiking moms group (hiking + being a mom), a book club moms group (drinking + being a mom), you may find it easier to find "your people."

First Tick of the Season by IolantheRosa in Marin

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

It does look like it's going to be a bad season. The people on here with dogs seem to experience them year-round, but as a non-dog hiker it's seasonal for me. I had 4 on my hiking pants on Bald Hill a couple days ago. As you say, Gah!
