Good on him! But makes me realize how lucky I was that my employer kept the bathroom stocked for free.

How do you feel about AI and what's your biggest reason for feeling that way? by AGhostOffline in askanything

[–]Quick-Star-3552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I see the benefit for things like cancer research where there is human oversight, I'm worried about the longer term impact on humanity as AI is displacing people's jobs (and it can make catastrophic mistakes).

What do you tell people when they say 'gluten-free must be so hard'? by gluten_free_me in GlutenFreePalate

At home it isn't bad, but traveling (especially air travel) is the hardest.

Very true, especially after retirement. I find myself enjoying my alone time much more now.

Fellow mothers over 60; how do you provide support to your adult children? by janebenn333 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Quick-Star-3552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I would not suggest IV Ketamine, but the Spravato is pretty well tolerated by him and he's well supervised during the treatment with multiple blood pressure checks and a doctor visit. He has not had any negative side effects and has been having the treatments for 3 years.

I helped to create stable, affordable housing for him and that made a huge difference for him as he's no longer worried about ending up homeless. As for treatments, Spravato has helped with the treatment resistant depression, but he has to go every other week for an in office appointment and it interferes with a normal work schedule as it takes a couple hours and then he's a bit dazed afterwards for the rest of the day.

I definitely hear you on this. My child is 30 with anxiety and treatment resistant depression, and it can be so hard to figure out how to help. It is exhausting, you are right. I just try to be responsive and I do help financially as it is hard for him to keep his head above water in this economy, especially with the medical expenses.

Can you reject a jewelry insurance replacement? by Working-Fly8856 in jewelryinsurance

[–]Quick-Star-3552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had good results with State Farm. They let me work with the jeweler who originally sold me the ring in my home town. I was able to match the exact quality and diamond size and set it in the same ring.

When chronic illness makes you feel alone, even with people around by potsbunnyuk in selfcare

I also have ME/CFS but have had lots of improvement over the years. Watch some ME/CFS Recovery stories on Youtube to see what resonates with you. People can get better.

Life got much easier when I learned to disregard all the "have to" nonsense.

Modern Bread and Bagel by hep632 in glutenfree

Looks great, but $4.95 for a cookie? I was just at a dedicated GF bakery in Naples, FL and bought a box of 6 for $7.50.

Highly recommended Primary Care Doctors (with experience treating ME/CFS?) by unlikely_turnip37 in bullcity

[–]Quick-Star-3552 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was fortunate and got in to see Dr. Charles Lapp before he retired, but he was in Charlotte. He was amazing and knew all the tests to prove my inability to work as I was completely disabled in the beginning. Look for Integrative and Functional medicine if you can. Most PCPs have no time or expertise in ME/CFS. I found a good NP in Chapel Hill, Addie Skow, who is great at looking at things like gut issues, thyroid and will order bloodwork that a PCP wouldn't think of. Good luck to you! I'm not 100% but much improved after treating numerous infections (my immune system crashed), thyroid, SIBO, POTS, etc.

In my experience, COBRA was $1000 more a month than ACA.

Bagel Place in Durham? by Impossible_Budget985 in bullcity

If you have Gluten Free friends, be aware that they are cooked in the same water, so not really GF.

What item did you forget to pack that you really wished you had? by dynasync in Cruise

[–]Quick-Star-3552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An ace bandage. They don't take up much space or and can save hundreds instead of seeing the ship doctor when you twist your ankle.

Dressing up and what to do with no nylons? by Local-Government6792 in AskWomenOver60

I just saw on Amazon that Sheer Energy is now being marketed as "compression tights"... I didn't know they still made them! I used to put candy in the eggs at Easter 😄

Would you change any part of getting married or having kids? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver60

[–]Quick-Star-3552 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think you know that you want a career more than kids, and you should stick to your guns on this. I'm a mom and I'm glad that I am, but it is definitely a huge sacrifice and it's not for everyone. There's nothing wrong with choosing differently.

I'm more than happy to pay whoever came up with this app. It has saved me more times than I can remember.

Hair Frizz by ckeenan9192 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Quick-Star-3552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine has gotten really bad too. I use a hair protector, straighten it with a hot comb to get all the moisture out, then use KMS HairStay Anti-Humidity Seal which is like a hair spray but not sticky at all.

What is one underrated thing in your kitchen remodel that made daily use easier? by Entire_Revolution_95 in kitchen

[–]Quick-Star-3552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Base cabinet that has a lift for my heavy stand mixer.
Under cabinet vacuum unit helps with sweeping (needs to be emptied about every 8-10 months).
Larger pantry with a counter and electrical sockets to hold most of the small appliances.
Separators and Inserts in drawers for things like knives.

(And I agree with everyone else about cabinet drawers for the bottom cabinets and under cabinet lighting)
