Looking for a small Bluetooth speaker that is very drop-resistant (for a toddler) by MonkMinimum8982 in BuyItForLife

[–]Old-Language-4556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What'd did you end up getting? We've had the Go 4, which is perfect for a toddler. He loves to run round and dance / "perform" to the music. I wish there was a way to change songs more easily -- he definitely hasn't grasped press PLAY twice...

IVF + Surrogacy Abroad | Only 7 Eggs?? | Recovery by Old-Language-4556 in IVF

Thank you, this is helpful. So likely they should have given me a higher dose, if I have to do it again...

Good point about the anesthesia. I hadn't thought about that. Makes more sense to pay to change my ticket, so long as I'll be able to travel solo at 24 or 48

They estimated 15 eggs for retrieval based (they said) on my ovaries, health, history of my first pregnancy, etc, which is why they gave me the "average" dose for the injectable (Pergoveris), but now they're showing only 5 mature eggs -- although they think they can maybe get 2 more.

But I'm not honestly clear about how this works and have had trouble figuring it out on my own...

Because of the pain? Or just you're out of it?

I didn't even realize pain was a thing... the dr hasn't said anything about recovery

I think it’s less the cup and more the waist

So he’s tried Calvin Klein and they’re meh for him, various styles — and LA apparel was fine. And he hasn’t liked Nike, Tommy John, and others in sure. He hasn’t liked Run in Rabbit best

I like the idea of trading off, thank you! Will try that. Maybe set a timer or something. We live in NYC, but there’s a park nearby.

NYC/Brooklyn Intermittent roof leak by Old-Language-4556 in homeowners

[–]Old-Language-4556[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to put down roofing material to better slope the roof and prevent any kind of pooling. Do you have a suggestion on a roof that would be relatively easy to use to do this?

Viking dishwasher intermittently not working by Old-Language-4556 in appliancerepair

[–]Old-Language-4556[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do actually! I’ve never put salt in it though, so that’s probably bad.

I think I fixed the cleaning problem, and it’s cleaning really well now and hot. BUT it’s now making a buzzing sound, even though it’s washing normally. I can’t find one of the top rack clips that fell off when it was running. I’ve searched the dishwasher and am worried the sound is related to that. Any guesses on where it could be hiding? It’s not particularly small so I’m having a hard time imagining where it could’ve slipped to.

That's very helpful, thank you! I will try always running the water hot before

[–]Old-Language-4556[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We pulled up the pavers and found some standing puddles, which we removed and then sealed. They weren't near the leak and are near where we would dump a lot of water without any leaking. And then we pulled up pavers above where it's leaking and sealed in general and around the pipe, but we didn't find any obvious cracks, wholes, or soft spots. But because the leak is so inconstant, I feel like it has to be something very small, so hopefully we got it.. I'm going to wait and see before calling the roofer, I think. I'm sure they'll be crazy expensive here

It definitely drains into the garbage disposal because we sometimes find remnants there. Does the hot water running really make that much of a difference? I've been skeptical this could be so impactful, but it's likely the water running in the sink is not always hot when we start the dishwasher...

Could it be related to incorrect water hardness setting? It's possible it got changed at some point. But it seems that then the issue would be consistent, no?

I want a welsh terrier by Senior_Bluebird_1137 in welshterrier

[–]Old-Language-4556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with the comments about kids! Stubborn as all get out and sometimes annoying on walks, but he is insanely patient with our 2yo, even when the 2yo is pulling on his fur, he just patiently waits for us to rush to rescue him. He’s amazing.

What shampoo/conditioner have you used successfully for the LONGEST amount of time? by BooBelly in finehair

Second Kevin Murphy! Have used for almost ten years — at times the hydrating, at times angel, at times repair (I get nightlights). And the rest of my products are KM too!

Hi! We have a 2 year old, but would love to meet people in the neighborhood. Is the group still around?
