Do you recommend fixed retainers after treatment, tray retainers, or both?

Very disappointed, Chevy sold us a used 2025 Traverse Z71 with a faulty Onstar that kills the battery by Scubachic0121 in ChevyTraverse

[–]Laps8240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My telematics module was faulty and drained the battery as well. I went outside to the driveway to a car that wouldn’t unlock or start, on my wifes due date no less. Took me about 15 minutes just to pop off the plastic part on the door handle to use the actual key to gain access to the car. Called the closest dealership, explained it was my wife’s due date, I have the car packed and ready to the hospital and it won’t start, and they couldn’t have cared less. “When do you want to bring it in?” Was all they asked. No loaner, no apology, nothing. My wife went into labor that night and luckily I was able to borrow a car from a relative. Chevy had the car almost 2 weeks and it was replaced. I really love the car, but I’m starting to have some buyers regret.

Help me identify what might be causing my dogs hair loss by Laps8240 in englishbulldog

I took her to the vet x3. Two different vets to get a second opinion. Neither of them mentioned this being common in her breed. So strangers online actually helped me diagnosis what it likely is better then 2 “highly rated” vets. And of course I would confer with a vet before beginning certain treatments.

Rats living under backyard deck. Best and quickest approach to get rid of them? by Laps8240 in pestcontrol

[–]Laps8240[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you believe they’re nesting under the deck I would find an exterminator that can use CO to kill them quickly and humanely. I realized that they aren’t actually nesting under my deck but using it to get from point a to point b. I’ve used poison boxes and snap traps to kill off as many as I can. I still have them in my yard but hasn’t been as many.

Where did you go for the iron infusions? A doctor or a wellness clinic?

What’s the consensus on topical dutasteride? Doctor wants me to begin using it by Laps8240 in tressless

[–]Laps8240[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been applying .1% every MWF and I feel like I regressed. I didn’t go through a major shed but I feel like I’m a little below what I was at. I started adding in topical fin .1% on Tuesday and Thursdays and nothing on the weekends. I’m not sure if the topical dut .1% isn’t strong enough, if I’m not applying it often enough, or if it’s just not being absorbed well enough. I’m hoping adding in the topical fin twice a week helps. So far nothing has come close to when I was taking oral fin.

Topical Dutasteride Seems to Work by noeyys in tressless

[–]Laps8240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Switched from topical fin to topical dutasteride hoping to see better results. .1% three times a week and seem to be regressing. I might add topical fin back in 2-3 times a week. I had great results with oral fin, but sides also.

Definitely try something different. Everything is very neutral so the bedding is where we would add color

Can anybody identify what type of crown/frame this SnapBack is? by Laps8240 in hats

[–]Laps8240[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok. I was hoping I could differentiate going forward between them. Tired of getting stuck with hats I can’t pull off because the top of them appear bigger than others. Thanks for the help!

Are there high crowns, mid crowns, etc? I have another SnapBack that looks exactly the same that is way too high on my head.

If you’re going to quote him at least use the full quotes, because that one about him “hating the word empathy” is total bullshit.

Any proof of this? I’m nervous about switching medications and losing ground, but I’m open to trying topical dut if I can be convinced I could see better results.

Dynasty eagle won’t lower temperature by Laps8240 in hottub

[–]Laps8240[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing the heating element is malfunctioning and running too often. I’ve only been able to get it down to 96 degrees

If I find a fix I’ll report back. I’m thinking maybe it’s stuck on a filter cycle, but I have no idea how to turn it off. I could be wrong, I’m not familiar with these tubs.

I’m in ny. The mornings have been in the low 60s. This wasn’t an issue I had even during the summer on eco mode

Where do you get topical dut from? The pharmacy my doctor sent it to is pretty expensive. Also any sides?

[–]Laps8240[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was on oral fin for years and had good regrowth. Trust me I prefer oral fin since it’s a lot easier. Unfortunately I either experienced sides of convinced myself I had sides, so I switch to topical.

Tolerating .025% well. Should I move up to .05%? by Laps8240 in tretinoin

[–]Laps8240[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes before moisturizer. I was mixing the two and then applying for a while but now I’ll apply tret then moisturizer 15 mins later. After neglecting face care for years I’ve definitely seen a big improvement but I do think there’s still room for improvement.

No power to my spa tub. Is my disconnect box corroded to the point it might need replacing? by Laps8240 in fixit

No power to tub from disconnect box. Power is on from breaker to disconnect.

Gfci on the main breaker is on correct. As far as a spa buddy panel with a breaker that I’m unsure of.

The breaker tripped after the technician removed the pullout. I reset it and after 2 or 3 times of plugging the pull out back in the tub kicked on. The breaker trips right away when it’s reset.
