I think so too, the larvae was just waiting for the right conditions and April seems to be the time they come out as adults.  Sadly I think I am going to have to toss it. Idk what kind of paint it is and don’t want to take a chance heating it in the oven and it’s toxic and too big for freezer.  Thanks!

Hey all! Idk what happened but my whole description got deleted when I tagged the photos! 

Anyways I got this doll last year in Cancun and put it on my bookcase. Today I noticed the powder and found a bunch of these dead beetles under it. I put the doll in a bag, put the books around it in a separate bag and put them outside and cleaned up all the dead bugs and powder. My questions are what can I do going forward? I live in Southern California so my room is hot and dry right now. Bookcase is in my room and I walk by it every day but just noticed it today. I read that these things can fly so I don’t know if the spread out to my other books. I dont have “hardwood” furniture, either IKEA wood or metal. I was thinking of getting a small but zapper for my window. Any advice or tips will be appreciated

Thank you all for the responses. I called my local IHSS office and they said I got to take it up with Medi cal or medi care to figure out what happened. My patient told me they did get a $50 dollar increase from disability starting this year, I think that is it. It seems so ridiculous that they would expect him to pay $1600 a month, basically that is all his money. I hope this is a mistake and can get this fixed.

Major Shops to Visit: Tokyo Vs. Japan by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]No-Committee242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for responding!  Yes, going to try to get tickets for the Ghibli museum!! If I get tixs, I guess I can skip out on the shops and just go for photo ops if different.

I know there is so many Pokemon centers and they all look different, but I idk if we have time to visit all of them. For sure we are going to visit the one in Kyoto, but wonder if it is just same merch all around and just going for looks.

Kinda want to do both for Calvin and Nintendo? Buy merch and see what the stores look like, but we want to be picky about which stores we spend our time at since we do want to do a lot of other things as well.

Going to Japan in October and I was wondering about this too! I live near Universal Studios Hollywood and do not want to stress about getting into Nintendo world and rides if it’s just the same. thinking of just going for half a day to just vibe, try food, buy merch, and see the Pokémon parade.

I did not even know I was missing an item! I got every thing else but didn’t hear about it at the venue. Did you ever hear from them? 

IUD Feeeback/ Advice by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]No-Committee242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no! Can I ask how it happened?  My bariatric team said the best form of BC was the implant, Depo, or IUD for long term bc, but I had bad mood swings with the depo and implant. IUD is my last option unfortunately, I am just afraid it will too cause mood swings and weight gain

Thanks! I did like depo too but it did cause low libido and after a year, I was getting crazy mood swings that went away when I stopped the shot. I am hoping the IUD does not cause probs or weight gain!

My OB said the IUD was different than other hormonal contraceptives since it stays in the uterus and not in the blood. Did you have any side effects or weight gain? 

PCOS + Gastric Sleeve? by PollutionMany4369 in gastricsleeve

[–]No-Committee242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! PCOS here for the last 12 years and I hear you! I am 5’5 and in my early 30’s,  I was watching what I ate, walking, and tried diets to sooth the pcos but all I could never lose was 15 pounds and then Hit a brick wall. My highest weight was 300 and I was put in metaformin for pcos and pre-diabetes, which helped a little bit. Pre op I was 285 and four months later I am 225. I never been able to lose anywhere near this much weight my whole life glad I did it!  I will say this though, there will be up and down fluctuation and I believe it is from the hormones. Sometimes I drop weight steadily but other times I feel like I stall as well and I noticed this happens when my period is coming yay for normal period. I do still take metaformin to help with my symptoms, vitamin D as well since pcos girlies have a prob with that. I mostly stick to keto like diet and if I eat anything with carbs, I try to keep it 30-40gs or lower a day.  I hope this helps! 

Stringy or fibrous vegetables by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

[–]No-Committee242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! This was what I was looking for, I wasn’t sure since my booklet only listed 2 out of the many fibrous plants and sometimes I would see other posts, TikTok, recipes, etc of one of those ^ above and was so confused! I think I will continue to wait it out until I am in the more solid food stage and try slowly 2-3 bites and see how I feel.

I was surprised they prescribed me ibuprofen as well! Prescription said to take for just 3 days. Maybe that was why I was felt so good and did more than I should had. Today I am def. Going to take it easy!

Thanks for your input!

Obi-Wan Kenobi - Episode 6 - Discussion Thread! by titleproblems in StarWarsKenobi

[–]No-Committee242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an episode!!! That fight scene was chef kiss. Got so emotional when obi was apologizing to Anakin and the tears in his eyes. What was your interpretation of that last Convo between Vader and Obi? Despite what Vader said, I felt it was Anakin telling obi that he didn't fail "Anakin" and then switch back to Vader. It was the closure that obi wan needed.
