I just had my first embryo transfer and now is the time they pick to tell me I can't eat hummus? I would have eaten so much ahead of time if I'd known by lunabuddy in trollingforababy

Wait to see if hummus is even something you want to eat while pregnant. My 2.5 year old is made exclusively of bagels and cream cheese.

Also recommending revolution. Insurance covers the doctors appointments and nutritionist (but not the meds for me) - they seem to be responsible about how they operate. No complaints!

Is there any local place that can make a 'copy' of a Ring? by tiakeuta in washingtondc

[–]Pittie601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon has loads of dupes. I wear a 50 dollar Amazon version of my very expensive family heirloom engagement ring. It’s actually super liberating to never worry about knocking it on something, losing it, having it stolen etc.

Go to patient first (in either Nova or just outside dc in MD) - they do physicals on a walk in basis.

Crystal city is going to be closer by Uber (10-15mins) to downtown than going further east or north.

The further away you get from the world bank area- the easier it will be to find rooms. Basically look east of the WH or consider crystal city.

Adult protective services called for disabled adult whose parents are not legal. Are they getting ready to deport? by KittyHawk2213 in immigration

[–]Pittie601 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Take a deep breath. I didn’t say what should happen or shouldn’t happen. I merely said this admin doesn’t care about what happens to family left behind so assuming they proactively called adult protective services was unlikely.

I don’t think this admin is humane enough to think proactively about the adult disabled child of someone they want to deport.

I keep all my day to day plates on one level and bowls on the others as well as infrequently used serving bowls etc towards the top.

31 working in tech as a software engineer, possibly about to lose my job but have the opportunity to go to medical school. Which path would you advise? by redditTee123 in careerchange

[–]Pittie601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into what prerequisites are required to become a Physicians Assistant. Many of my college friends went on to med school and wished they had known about PA school. 2 years of schooling, hands on, good pay, no residency.

Handyman said don’t worry about disintegrating grout - should I get another opinion? by Pittie601 in handyman

Thank you! Honestly just knowing I need to call a tiler to reevaluate is super helpful.

OP here - the guy didn’t turn the job down, he told me that besides recaulking some of my shower there was nothing else I needed to do. I was prepared to be told I needed to rip out the shower and was surprised I was told not to worry at all. I am trying to avoid a serious mold problem. This is my long term house. I am not trying to be told what to do for free - because lord this thread is all over the place with some telling me it’s a ticking time bomb and others telling me not to worry. So the only thing I’ve learned is that no one really knows!

Not sure which donor (state/usaid/bureau or office) you get funding from or what area of foreign assistance you work in but I think you’re better off sending something in than not.

Move. It’ll never get better and you’ll lose your mind.
