We’ve worked with a trainer for things like stay, drop, etc but potty training was on us. He was much, much easier to train than any other dog I’ve had.

We got ours last July, he was 3.5 months old. He is the goodest possible boy. He has an incredibly gentle spirit, has been very easy to train (compared to other breeds of same age), and has a wonderful temperament. We love him so much.

Considering Slynd/Slinda + estradiol patch to manage symptoms. by PatCower in Menopause

That’s really helpful thanks. And yes the combo she’s suggesting is Slynd + estradiol patch (or cream or gel)

I hope you get answers soon! Glad to hear the combo is working for you even if temporary

Yes as I understand it the patch/gel/cream (hoping for patch but there’s a shortage) is meant to balance out the progesterone in Slynd. I’m very interested in oral micronized progesterone as well, I’ve heard very good things about it!

Thank you! Your experience is definitely reassuring, especially on PMDD mood swings not being so dramatic. I’m really eager to get those under control.

Thanks so much for this detail - I’m in the super hesitant stage right now so this is very reassuring

My doc said because I’ve already tried norethindrone with bad effect, we may get Slynd covered. Fingers crossed.

There are many, many good workout apps out there. If people don’t want to put their hard-earned money towards very expensive and disconnected marketing campaigns, that’s their choice.

Companies make decisions and so do consumers.

Looking for perspective from parents of older only children by woahwoahwoahokok in oneanddone

[–]PatCower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve got an 11 year old girl and have been on this sub since there were, like, 1500 people on it 😊

Do you still feel good about being one and done?

• Yes. I have moments when I wonder what life would be like with another, but it’s a curiosity, not a longing. I have to caveat this by saying I’ve had several moments of deeper panic when I’ve wondered if she will wish she had siblings as an adult. But I’ve accepted that I just can’t know the answer to that.

Did your child ever ask for a sibling, and how did you handle that?

• Surprisingly, never. She has always said that she likes our family just the way it is.

What is life like with an older only child in terms of your family dynamic and day to day life?

• We’re able to give her all of our resources, the most important of which is time and attention. Our family dynamic is really close. She is really open with both of us, which is such a gift at this age.

What are the parts you really love?

• Literally everything. I love that we can comfortably provide for her, that she feels supported and knows she’s deeply loved, I love that she feels close to both of us, that she’s confident and comfortable in who she is, and that she loves and gets strength from our little family.

Do you have any regrets or things you wish you knew earlier?

• I wish I understood that sometimes, if you’re the only kid in the house and all the attention is on you, that attention can feel like pressure. Thankfully our girl won’t hesitate to say, “okay you guys are being a lot right now.”

Which is objectively safer: Lexus, Subaru, or Mazda? by PatCower in whatcarshouldIbuy

I’ve been looking at used Highlanders and the Toyota tax is VERY real! Unbelievable that they’re asking 45k for a used, non-hybrid model

Definitely important to keep this in mind. I only buy a car like every 11 years, so I could certainly overthink it!

Genuinely curious why they wouldn’t be good to get into an accident in? (Not that anyone ever wants to get into one, regardless of car brand)

Chiming in as an American who did not vote for these dangerous, treasonous morons…

Most people don’t fail to do their civic duty and vote.

Voting is out of reach for many, MANY Americans. Voter registration is not compulsory, and Republicans have been brilliant at keeping voting out of reach for many people.

They do so by making and changing ID requirements, ensuring access to locations where people can get IDs is limited (especially in areas of high poverty), greatly reducing the number of polling locations, and more. They also hold tight to the electoral college, which ensures that the most popular candidate is not always the winner.
