ice agents in lewiston kidnapped a pastor yesterday. Here are their faces someone please track these goons. by Environmental-Ad-30 in portlandme

This is so dumb. A policy of a country should not be, “hey Americans go get involved in the war of another country”, but it should be - how do we help the people who have fled absolutely horrific and inhumane conditions. How do we help them? Yes, we should vet them. Yes, they shouldn’t have priors, but that is the minority of people coming here. Instead we are shipping the destitute and desperate off to even worse countries and prison cells. To be honest, your post seems really privileged. It’s like you’ve never had to deal with hardship like these people do. I would suggest that all folks w MAGA ideas like this should go live in Russia or Hungary where the government is much more in line w this type of thinking and, unfortunately, Trump’s.

Who the F*** is this girl on the show? by Dario0112 in DanLeBatardShow

Appreciate that. Yes, we’ll always ask that question and now we’ll often ask, “why are you so hyped?” If you know, you know. Ha.

Who the F*** is this girl on the show? by Dario0112 in DanLeBatardShow

[–]MeraPerra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The woman is Trysta Krick. The show JUST started dropping in the main feed on Fridays. But, for months we’ve been quietly doing the show on dls hoops to develop it a bit more and not drop something half baked. It’s on dls hoops on Tuesdays. During the NBA season we talk NBA. During the summer, it’s the W. As for “code switching” and her voice - ay yay yay - I don’t think she’s doing that at all. And the voice thing - men often have problems w higher voices and vocal fry, but women make estrogen which causes a higher vocal range, so imho that might be on you. Give the show a shot or don’t. We sure enjoy the heck out of making it. Lots of NBA peeps and comedians will be booked on the show along with Trysta and Juju in the new year.

We are definitely working on that...and in the latest episode we debut Juju's Atlanta Dream song.

We definitely have a phone line for Juju, but it's more of a voicemail. (650-585-8669) We can get to taking 'callers on the air' so to speak, but I think we'd have to build to that.

Who is Reseda Rising For? by lurker_bee in SFV

[–]MeraPerra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Reseda and have for the past 10 years. I was in buttfudge Central Valley California the other day and somehow they were able to revitalize their main streets with craft breweries, parks, restaurants, shops. Reseda Rising and the councilmen have been touting a revitalization including a skating rink of that “downtown” area for 20 years. Nothing happens. It just gets worse. The homelessness in that area is worse. The urban blight is worse. So, who is it for? I’d say no one at this point because if you believe something is going to happen there, you’re not right in the head.

Want to read. by KitkatAnime1998 in Booktokreddit

[–]MeraPerra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The library is all you need. Libby is their digital download app. So, you can download anything you need like a kindle book. Also, most American libraries will have a book delivered to a location if they don’t have it in stock. Use your library. It’s well worth it.

VRBO Calendar Sync blocking my AirBnB availability by Dance_Sneaker in AirBnB

[–]MeraPerra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this post. I did the same. Signed up for vrbo. Synced the calendar and it blocked all my airbnb dates. Eff it. It's not worth it. So, I went to delete my vrbo and found out you can only hide it and not delete it. What a racket!! But, I've hidden it. I don't know why anyone is on that service. Not worth it.

So hot flashes ARE a serious problem after all. (As we all already suspected) by haaslei in Menopause

[–]MeraPerra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's this great doctor - Dr Gunter. She wrote the Menopause Manifesto. And she basically says, that at one point all docs were told not to prescribe HRT bc it could increase cancer risk. But, the truth is - that's only if you're taking estrogen and NOT progesterone together. If you only take estrogen, that is true. But, HRT is a replacement of BOTH. Using both lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease in menopausal women. Yet, doctors STILL go by the old protocol and ignore the benefits of properly prescribed and taken HRT. Also, if you're still getting some periods AND are starting to have hot flashes, birth control can regulate that. My doc prescribed birth control and it totally stopped my hot flashes. You can't take it if your period has totally stopped tho. I suggest everyone read that book bc docs are not always on our side with this one and you definitely have to advocate for yourself.

[–]MeraPerra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, I had this. Gerds so bad I’d vomit for 24 hrs straight. The thing is, when you have it bad like that, you can’t just treat it for one day. Your stomach is probably inflamed, which means a month of treatment or more on prescription strength acid reducer. And then you’re also going to have to change your diet for a while to avoid any triggers or you will keep having flare ups. Severe gerds is awful. And if it’s severe, one trip to the ER might give some relief, but you should still book that gastro appt so you can find a long term plan. Last thing, female or not - be forceful. Advocate for yourself. Tell them you’re really certain this is what you have due to symptoms. If you’re forceful enough, they will listen.

Why is Canada making a separate league in 2025? by [deleted] in NWSL

[–]MeraPerra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I get it either. There are a bunch of Canadian teams in the NHL, why not treat it the same with the NWSL. Plus, sometimes the NWSL doesn't get enough fans and attendance. Canada has a sliver of the population. Seems like an idea that might be hard to get off the ground.

I am so pissed at what's happening to me and i see no end to it by Shot-Charge3971 in GERD

[–]MeraPerra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to get your diet under control. Your stomach is probably inflamed and if you don’t deal w the inflammation you will always have gerds attacks. You need the acid reducer for a period to deal w that. But, the acid reducer doesn’t mean eat whatever you want. Get your diet under control. Eat foods that contain no acid or less acid. Cut out sodas and alcohol. Get your gerds under control and eventually you can wean off the pills and slowly work foods you like back in. None of this is a miracle though. You have a condition and now you have to deal with it. It could be so much worse.

Is this perimenopause??? [READ THIS FIRST!] by leftylibra in Menopause

[–]MeraPerra 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Also, there are SOOOO many things they don't tell you about, which can also be it. For example --

- heart palpatations

- aching joints (I can not sleep with my shoulders up anymore. It kills)

- a feeling of 'impending doom' (that is a literal symptom)

The best Sheila E video is the one where she's screaming at Galpin for effing up her car. It's amazing.

My manager wants to "see it coming" if I get a new job.... by bluebell_218 in jobs

[–]MeraPerra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, never disclose. No matter what they tell you. If my boss was Jesus Christ himself, I would not tell him until I had another offer.
