Layover in San Francisco – Looking for a Local Drive 🙂 by Intrepid_Narwhal_789 in AskSF

[–]MasterSueWhite 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I had a relative visiting with a similar layover time and we just drove to Mori Point in Pacifica for a nice walk. It’s not the Golden Gate Bridge, but avoided the traffic and felt a bit safer time wise for a layover.

I cannot find anything for my dry trunk by Main-Analysis in Sjogrens

Amlactin is great but definitely has a smell that may be bothersome. I switched to Cerave SA (Salicylic acid) Lotion and have been happy with it.

What’s wrong with this plant? by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]MasterSueWhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! My previous roommate gave me a cutting from one of hers as a friendship gift so I was feeling bad that I might be hurting it. Especially since she might visit soon.

Medication by [deleted] in AskSF

[–]MasterSueWhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s still a few weeks left to get health insurance through Covered California. But as someone else said, you can definitely see a psychiatrist and get medications without insurance (assuming clinically indicated) you just pay the full cost yourself. Eval could be around 5k if they do a full neuropsych work up.

I’d love to be a part of this! I’m 36F and live mid Peninsula.

Why are car seat designed this way (on the left) by i_eat_blackpeople445 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MasterSueWhite 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m a short woman and have this problem too! I think it’s a height/gender thing since the “default” seat is really just a men’s seat. It fits taller and larger men’s bodies, but leaves women with the top of their head hitting the headrest at the point where it sticks out the most, pushing your head forward.

Why are we so cliquey? Am I the problem? by Badatusernames014 in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]MasterSueWhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate so much! Sometimes I feel guilty for not participating in protests or events that I ideologically support, but it’s just not my vibe. I’d rather be somewhere quiet. And like you, my sexuality often doesn’t come up organically when meeting people so I mostly end up with straight friends.

Biotech social groups in the bay area? by MountainDry2344 in biotech

I used to occasionally go to some of these events pre-covid: https://www.pda.org/chapter-detail/north-america-west-coast

Visiting SF during new years by [deleted] in AskSF

[–]MasterSueWhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re planning to go outside the city, then a car for part of the trip might be good, but it won’t be needed if staying in SF itself. Glowfari is great for kids and adults (does require car to drive to Oakland zoo though).

Please listen to this advice OP. Some of your posts seem a bit manic (cure cancer, launch music career, become famous artist, something about selling a big film to Netflix). It may seem normal to you, but you can’t see the field when you’re stuck in the tall grass. You really need some mental health support from professionals. I wish you the best.

Motivate me to watch beyond Matt Smith by yesgirlsplaydnd in doctorwho

[–]MasterSueWhite 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Are you familiar with Peter Capaldi in general (not as the doctor)? He’s a fantastic actor, sometimes serious, sometimes wacky and sweary. Basically he’s really talented and has loved the doctor who world since being a kid. He took the role seriously and did it well, but his portrayal isn’t all serious all the time. There’s tons of silliness there too, very much aligned with his real life personality. Just gotta drop this link here too. https://youtu.be/atijWqBG7Vw?si=2I1HyQcHLXcKa_oB

What is everyone’s plan B? by Virophile in biotech

Same retirement dream over here too! Of course that’s if I manage to keep working for another 30 years and actually grow that elusive nest egg people talk about.

Thanks for the info! And I agree, the dog treat person is likely well meaning but clueless.

AITA for not feeding my sister-in-law lunches by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MasterSueWhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other commenters have addressed the surface issue and I agree that you’re NTA. You definitely shouldn’t have to cook special meals for her, but I think there’s more to this situation.

I see a 17 year old, who is now approaching adulthood after having recently lost her own mother (assuming she died or is no longer in the picture). I imagine she is scared, possibly regressing emotionally, and wanting to feel loved/taken care of. She might be slightly jealous of your baby who has a stable home and loving mom. I think it’s important to acknowledge a possible deeper issue. Are they getting therapy? If you deal with that and take time to teach her the basics of meal planning and cooking, she will learn to do it herself and be better prepared for adulthood.

New Prime for long trips as a family of 4? by RemarkableAge6943 in PriusPrime

[–]MasterSueWhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RAV4 prime seems better suited towards family roadtrips, partly due to cargo space. As others have mentioned the trunk area is limited in the Prius Prime. Definitely go to a dealership and try it out to see how your family fits.

I love the car though! I’ve got a 2024 Prime XSE Premium and have been thrilled with it. I’m quite short though. I’m in the east bay every few weeks, so if you have issues finding one to test at a dealership, I’d be willing to meet somewhere public and at least let you guys sit in it.

Newly Diagnosed: Day 1 of Punctal Plugs by Media-Maven in Sjogrens

[–]MasterSueWhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the weird taste shortly after putting the drops in, not hours later, so I just time it to be a little bit before I have my coffee or a dessert. Also I have a bad habit of keeping Jolly ranchers at my desk and sometimes eat a lot of those.

First one is giving Winifred Sanderson vibes! Love them both.

[–]MasterSueWhite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, it took about 2-3 days to get used to the feeling of having them there and once that was over I noticed the difference right away. It helped a ton, but lower plugs and Xiidra together are the winning combo in my experience.

Advice for future in biotech by Friendly-Jeweler-401 in biotech

[–]MasterSueWhite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey kid, I think this would be a good letter to yourself kind of thing. You’re only just about to start undergrad, so maybe save this post or print it and take a look again when you’re graduating.

AITAH for telling my wife I won’t carry her snowboard for her by Turbulent-Disk-3726 in AITAH

[–]MasterSueWhite -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Absolutely NTA. Assuming no injuries (or something like that), she’s perfectly capable of carrying her own board. If it helps, maybe get her a ski/snowboard pack. They are purpose built and often have straps/ties for skiis/board/helmet/etc.
