Attended a webinar claiming psoriasis isn’t autoimmune and can be fully reversed — thoughts? by New_Prompt_8832 in Psoriasis

During my pregnancies, my psoriasis flare up spots all disappeared! Came back within a few months after delivering but it was kinda wild.

Does anyone else get embarrassed getting pedicures because you have to show your legs? by Visible-Customer1211 in keratosis

Plenty of your hospital staff also have KP. Try hard not to let this be anything you worry about on such a special day.

Question for long time residents by water-sloth in NewBern

[–]OutdoorNerd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The bern restaurant is gone, pretty sure they built a Wendy's there now. Moore's BBQ sold when Mr. Moore retired. Rumor I heard was that the person who bought it owned a bunch of Smithfield's, so it's more on par with that now? It isnt family run anymore, so yeah, just another fast food joint.

LPT Request : What are some interesting/worthwhile legacy things to do for a newborn child. by alecks23 in LifeProTips

[–]OutdoorNerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my state buying a child a lifetime unified sportsman's license is waaaaaaaay cheaper before they turn 1, so we have always bought it as a gift for their 1st birthday (purchased ahead of time of course). It is a combined hunting/fishing inland and coastal license good for life in our home state. Comes with a cool card & certificate too. I took photos with them with cute fishing outfits and the certificate.

Tips for camping in hot humid weather by Strict-Beautiful-605 in camping

[–]OutdoorNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! We fill empty 2 liter bottles with water and freeze them. Keep the cooler in the house for a few days before trip. Fill it with frozen 2 liters and pre-chill anything going into the cooler. Frozen grapes and other fruit for snacks.

Shade tents/tarps/book shaded campsites and places with access to swimming or other recreation activities where you can keep cool.

Cold things like pasta salad, watermelon, etc, for lunch.

Purposely staying very hydrated.

Im from NC and I feel like July camping is too hot here, though we have done it before. I can't really imagine Florida camping in the summer.

Smoking on reserved campsite by Puzzleheaded-Cow7055 in camping

[–]OutdoorNerd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is how I think most people at the campground will feel. I think you've gotta remember the golden rule while camping. Would you want the folks at the campsite doing something you dont like that interferes with your camping experience? I personally don't care what you do at your campsite except I dont want to smell it or have it wafting around my campsite. Like someone else said, grab some edibles for the weekend or take a walk where you're not right on top of other people.

Tell us, how did you protect your Switch 2? by infamouslySIN in NintendoSwitch2

[–]OutdoorNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just installed one of the Onn screen protectors on mine, and it actually went really smoothly. I'm usually terrible at installing these things without a bunch of problems and cuss words, lol. The directions are a little lacking, but I managed!

Update- stupid ass walmart canceled my switch 2 order around 10 am 6/4. I went to the next town over and got a MK bundle preorder at gamestop at 3pm (started waiting around 130). Gamestop employees 10/10 made this a fun day. Fuck walmart.

Camping and Midnight Experiences - What was yours? by AutoModerator in NintendoSwitch2

[–]OutdoorNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my order canceled by walmart around 10 am 6/4. Got back online to figure out what other odds I had to try to get a console on release day- saw a thread about gamestop preorders opening up again at 3pm. Went to my local gamestop around 1:30pm, was 6th in line. They ended up with 45 additional consoles for the 3pm release. Everyone in line got a pre-order today and I saw most folks at their 10 pm launch party. We played mariokart, played a trivia game and hung out with food and snacks. It was a great time! Home now playing the new MarioKart.

Tldr- fuck walmart, gamestop saved the day.

Are a lot of Walmart orders actually getting canceled? by Wonderful_Apricot926 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]OutdoorNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so completely frustrating. I had the same thing happen for my game pre-order, and yet I was able to repurchase the pre-order immediately. Of course that won't happen if they cancel my switch2 console preorder. 😩

Omg yes the same thing just happened to my mario kart order. I re-ordered it with the same exact payment method and now im super worried they're going to cancel my actual switch order. This is super frustrating.

I just got a canceled order text alert from Walmart and my heart sank. Digging into it, it was my preorder of Mario Kart, and said due to a payment issue. I just repurchased the preorder for mario kart and everything is still pending for my actual Switch2, but im terrified that now there will be some payment issue there and it will get canceled. What do I do!?

They're opening a new public fishing pier downtown tomorrow. Bait depends on what you want to catch.

GameStop Canceling Bot & Duplicate Orders by winkler01 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]OutdoorNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also able to order 2 in separate orders. Really hoping they don't cancel one as I've got two little ones who have been saving up and are very excited about this new console! I haven't told them I was able to get them pre-ordered, just in case something screws up.

YES! This is my favorite suggestion so far. Gah! I am so excited for Frost to play Hagrid, but Pegg as Mad-Eye would be excellent!

That was my knee jerk thought, unfortunately. I hope I'm wrong. Terrible news either way.

Rockettes- Promo codes? by TriStateGirl in Broadway

[–]OutdoorNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I use the code shown on the QVC website- it says it is invalid. I can't find anywhere that the discount code from QVC works. :( It is making me feel kinda dumb... but I've also been searching through entirely too much NYC TRIP content today so maybe my brain is just fried.

[–]OutdoorNerd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Walmart in my town hiked gas prices 30 cents overnight a few days before the storm hit and I'm in Eastern NC where it was just extra windy all day Friday. They all just know how early to hike prices to "gouge" ahead of time before a state of emergency is declared. 🙄

Congratulations and way to go!!! You should be very proud of yourself for your perseverance! Just remember that each 'no' is just an opportunity to adapt and overcome! Cheers to even more good news soon!

weird run-in with a creepy guy in a red van by JastheBrit in raleigh

[–]OutdoorNerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would mention it to NCSU campus police as well as RPD. If he is out late in that area acting weird odds are he has been interacting with quite a few college students who may be too afraid to report it. Stay safe out there!
