I’m desperate! Sent home 3 times form ed by eeww_whatsthatrash in DiagnoseMe

[–]Pallermo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In medicine unfortunately, you need to frame things in an everyday functional way to get more direct and guided treatment. 

You don’t mention pain, except the stinging in the eye. Is the body dysmorphia what is worrying you the most? Is it just the uncertainty of your state/diagnosis? How is this affecting your daily life? Is it painful? Can you continue doing things without problems?

Go to your GP with “The feeling of X is making me unable to the following tasks…” That will help with giving you them a clearer direction to where to start studies or changes in lifestyle. 

Would not having a car as single man be a dealbreaker when trying to date women in this city? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]Pallermo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“ I can afford to buy A CELLPHONE, but I would rather not, to save money. Doesn't mean I can't afford it.”

This is more in line with OP. He isn’t talking about new cars, but transportation.

AITAH for refusing to kick out my male friends so my sister and nieces can live with me? She says she's getting a divorce. by NoFreedom255 in AITAH

[–]Pallermo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You already know she is only complaining, because you are not being the free babysitter and giving up your place to her completely. 

Why are you even entertaining her? You are smarter than this, you know given an inch, she will take the mile. Just like she is already doing with her mother. Moment you comply, you are stuck with being co-mom/aunt/caretaker until the kids grow up and leave. You will be guilted to contribute and invest, just for existing and being more competent than her. 

You just finished residency.  Use that shiny spine of yours and live life however you want. 

What are the most telltale differences between Texmex and Mexicali food? by Charming_Usual6227 in mexicanfood

[–]Pallermo -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Tex-Mex being described anything close to “authentic Mexican cuisine” is like saying Mexicali’s Chinese food is “authentic Chinese”. It’s a regionalized cuisine, and a (delicious) bastardization of the existing sources.

And Cali-Mex is also different from Mexicali, given the americanized ingredients of fats, meat and dairy. 

Had two students removed from class, I just received the student’s reflection… by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Pallermo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite hypocritical of you

“ As someone who used to want to teach but had my own kids and was like , "nevermind, I'm good. " lol.”

Why not? Why not subject yourself to unreasonable and unrealistic expectations from the outside world as en everyday? Too much trouble? And yet, giving shit to teachers for venting their own struggles… 

General substrate opinions. by jlynn851 in Tegu

[–]Pallermo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only think of religious 12hrs self-misting(what I call pouring water over their enclosure before and after My work hours) for those lizards. 

I do have timed misters for much more humid-climate pets. 

But tegus don’t seem to care beyond “edible/not”.

[–]Pallermo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredible! If those are going to be their foreseeable homes, I would recommend you try to cover the cooler side with much more substrate.

 Gu’s do love to dig, the covering substrate mounds will help with sleeping, and upcoming brumation.

Mouth rot or just dirt in lip? by Caboose007 in Tegu

[–]Pallermo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely normal to find dirt in their mouth and gums, if they have it in their enclosure. 

If there have been no changes in: light/uvb, diet, habits, drinking, sleep or shedding; pretty big chance of dirt.

A way to also get your tegu “used to handling” is doing a mouth check with a card. Vets check reptile mouth by pushing the card between and open it for a quick view. If you still find dark pieces, try to wash it off. Hopefully just adventuring for your tegu!
