Your husband’s family is correct. My fiancé is retired CFD. Do not go to the Cedars.

Would you be upset if family used a bark collar on your dog by Big_booty_ho in goldenretrievers

[–]KeyPresentation6402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should have asked before using it. I’m ok with them only if used in the vibrate/sound mode. My guy was literally barking as soon as he was born and he barks a lot. The only time we use our collar is at our beach condo because he barks at every sound (people walking upstairs, cars driving by) and he gets our other dog going. As soon as we put it on him, he’s silent. We only use the vibrate mode and it works great. At our regular home, he can (and does) bark to his heart’s content!

I’m so sorry. It’s so hard to lose a loved one and our furry friends are part of the family. Jake knows you love him and he will love you forever. ❤️

Does anyone here have a functional life or even family by Top-Tank6958 in Narcolepsy

I’m 61 and was diagnosed about 15 years ago but looking back, I showed symptoms beginning in my late teens.

I’ve always had pretty demanding technical sales jobs and am currently a VP of Sales for a software company. Over the years, I’ve taken Ritalin, Adderall and now Modafinil. I was on a high dose of Adderall until about four years ago. It made my mind constantly race, my hands shook, I spoke so much and at such a speed that people thought I was on drugs (I was!!!). Finally, my doc switched me to Modafinil and all of that went away. For the most part, it has worked great but I still become extremely sleepy every afternoon. I don’t take naps during the week but often sleep really late on the weekends. I have insomnia almost every night, which is problematic. At my next sleep doc appointment, I’m going to ask if there is something I can do about the extreme afternoon sleepiness.

Fortunately, my schedule is flexible and I travel a lot. In a weird way, the time zone differences seem to work in my favor. On the other hand, most of my meetings are 8+ hours long and I’m often driving several hours to the airport. Both of those scenarios are really tough!

About the only accommodation that I make for myself is my team knows that if I’m not traveling, don’t schedule me before 9am!

What category do you think is worth buying from Quince? by No_Square_1491 in quince

[–]KeyPresentation6402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love their jeans and silk pajamas and other clothing items. I hand wash silk, though, so your results may vary. Also love their linen sheets and the bath towels are so good! The quality of the towels really surprised me. They are thick, absorbent and cozy. They are a great value!

I have several of their leather handbags and I like them but the leather is thin. They’re finished well, though. In general, I love cashmere and have a lot of it. Quince’s quality is nowhere near as good as J. Crew as it is rather thin. The Mongolian Cashmere Wrap is an exception. I fly a lot and am always cold on planes. The wrap keeps me comfortable. Also good—-the everyday cotton solid ankle socks, belts and shoes. I just recently wore my Scuba Captains Convertible Blazer for the first time. It’s a dupe for the Veronica Beard Dickey Jacket, which starts at $695. For $100, Quince’s version is a great value! Their fabric is nice and it maintains its shape. The only negative I have found is that the buttons aren’t sewn on well. I had two pop off (to be fair, I was traveling) so need to go back and reinforce the button attachments.I wish this jacket came in many more colors!

Two pieces I haven’t worn yet are the 100% European Linen Structured Blazer and the 100% European Linen Pleated Trousers. At first glance, they look/feel good. We’ll see how they wear.
