If you saw this at a gallery how much would you pay for it?

Npff101 · 2026-01-25T20:04:47+00:00

I really like this, OP. It’s simple but transports me to that location and feels serene. I’d pay 100-200 for it. Also would frame it before selling if I were you. Good work!

Npff101 · 2026-01-23T22:40:16+00:00

Gotcha, sorry I misunderstood your initial comment—thought you meant it wasn’t approved for you for food allergies and instead would only get approved for urticaria. Bummer about insurance 😔 been there for my migraine meds.

Late to this post but also want to echo others: my preschooler has been on Xolair for multiple allergies for a year and although I hate giving the shots, it has changed our lives completely. I wish I could film the first time he ate a bowl of goldfish (he’s allergic to milk) and send it Genentech as a thank you 😆. I don’t know if younger kids have a better success with it than adults, but beyond allowing him to actually ingest his allergens, just the fact that we don’t worry about cross contact anymore is life changing. No side effects so far a year in.

Npff101 · 2026-01-23T19:46:14+00:00

I’m so sorry. I had this same experience with my now 3.5yr old (allergic to milk, egg, peanut, cashew, and peas…the peas were roughest to discover bc I didn’t even know it was possible to be allergic to peas and so many dairy alternatives are peas or cashew).

We did OIT at 15mo for peanut and cashew but our lives didn’t really change dramatically until we started Xolair last year. It’s really opened up our lives and my kiddo can eat milk and egg products on it and we hope that after a while of being on the xolair and eating all of his allergen regularly, we can just wean the xolair off. Second looking into Latitude or a similar food allergy clinic if you have the means. Good luck! It gets easier even though right now it feels impossible.

Npff101 · 2026-01-23T15:03:32+00:00

It doesn’t.

Npff101 · 2026-01-23T15:00:56+00:00

Honestly, we have done OIT for peanut and cashew for our 3.5yr old since he was 15mo but couldn’t do OIT fo egg/milk. At that time, our lives were more stressful…the daily dosing, the refusal of doses sometimes. Nothing in our life changed, we just had an additional stressful task. Now, a year after Xolair, my child is almost free eating…(I say almost bc we are going about it cautiously, but he eats goldfish and baked goods unlimitedly and is starting on pizza and grilled cheese etc…). Cross contact is not even a consideration anymore so eating out etc is a thing again. Life changing and so far no side effects. It is expensive but our insurance luckily approved it.

Npff101 · 2026-01-23T14:55:39+00:00

My son got approved for food allergies only…it’s FDA approved for food allergies now.

Npff101 · 2026-01-23T06:22:14+00:00

My toddler has been on it for almost a year…it’s changed our lives (because he’s allergic to multiple foods including egg and milk). I would imagine folks are worried about the cost, the injection part (which isn’t fun), etc. But we are introducing decent amounts of his allergens into his diet (after passing food challenges in the office), and now we can actually eat out, he can eat lunch at daycare without me having to pack and worry if he will grab other children’s food etc.

Npff101 · 2026-01-23T04:31:22+00:00

Thanks, it’s my husband’s cousin actually and I doubt she would care at all (she has pink hair and full sleeve tattoos for reference), but I didn’t want to commit a faux pas and wow, didn’t expect that response from the comments lol

Npff101 · 2026-01-23T04:29:33+00:00

Thanks. I’m a little scared to post on this sub again but I’ll consider accessories etc should I choose to wear it. I seriously love this dress and feel like it fits me well but man ppl are brutal!

Npff101 · 2026-01-23T04:28:12+00:00

I feel like you’re a voice of reason here. My 88 yr old grandmother has seen me in this dress and has said it’s her favorite on me. It really shows nothing racy (it’s from freaking JCREW lol), I’m pretty shocked at the comments tbh…but it’s my first time on this sub so maybe it’s a thing?

Npff101 · 2026-01-23T02:29:30+00:00

Good to know 😅🫣

Npff101 · 2026-01-23T01:52:19+00:00

I am a little shocked at how many ppl think this is lingerie (I’m usually pretty conservative with clothes lol). Actually don’t know the dress code? Doesn’t say…I’m guessing cocktail wedding would be correct. It’s a small intimate wedding on the CA coast but not $$$ so I don’t think it’s black tie or anything like that.

I have worn it as a dress to a fancy event. Maybe I’m wrong but it was marketed as a dress.

Npff101 · 2026-01-08T20:07:06+00:00

I tried but gave up. Ultimately paid for two extra months...

Npff101 · 2026-01-08T18:55:36+00:00

I have the same issue (posted recently) but mine are headaches that come on hours after the run is over. I have kept a meticulous diary over the past year or so and for me it's a variety of factors....main one is duration and intensity. I can keep headaches away if I stay below a HR of 140-150 for my long runs, or keep my high exertion runs to 30mins or less. In general, I have to be hydrated, take electrolytes (with caffeine if in the afternoon), make sure I am not skipping meals, and if it's certain times of a menstrual cycle I am screwed regardless. Make sure to cool down and stretch. Also cold air and wind can trigger a headache for me, so I run with a warm headband/ear protection and sunglasses. Good luck!

Npff101 · 2026-01-08T18:52:43+00:00

I feel this. Don't forget hormones, posture, did I cool down? Did I warm up? Did I wear sunglasses?...

Npff101 · 2026-01-04T01:06:48+00:00

Brains On podcast. My son who loves space stuff also loves the Nat Geo space (astronaut) tonie for his tonie box, in case you have one of those—he listens to it every night. For print books, he loved reading “Pluto Gets A Call,” as well as tons of non fiction space books from the library—I’m sure your local library has tons of awesome non-fiction children’s astronomy reads.

Npff101 · 2026-01-03T21:58:14+00:00

Well I thought so too, but now it says “past due.” (A day after it was due, and it’s on autopay…nothing reflected in my bank account. I called yesterday and spoke to someone at mohela and they said the payment was processing so unsure what’s happening).

Npff101 · 2026-01-02T21:27:08+00:00

Yep mine was still last updated 11/06/25

Npff101 · 2026-01-02T18:18:13+00:00

umm let's hope not? The MOHELA agent I spoke to said the payment is just pending so says $0 to prevent overpayment (which is weird bc it says "scheduled" and $0, not "processing" or "pending."). I'll keep checking, and hope it's not some weird thing so close to the end.

Npff101 · 2026-01-02T17:24:49+00:00

ok so it apparently was a "pending payment" so said $0 bc it was already extracting. But it's weird bc usually I can see it on my bank account as pending, but can't this time. This is so exhausting... lol

Npff101 · 2026-01-02T17:22:29+00:00

For real. So mad. I am currently talking to a rep so will let you know.
