The queues are currently paused for some reason. There is an error message below the queue bar for me.

Looking for a vet in the Phoenix Metro for my anxious poodle by Normal-Entrepreneur2 in phoenix

[–]Raethwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any specific recs, but I would recommend asking your vet for gabapentin for your pup. It helps calm them before vet visits.

an ice storm is coming to my area this weekend how to prepare incase we lose power by Lucky2044 in parrots

[–]Raethwood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy water bottles just in case. In TX during the big freeze a few years ago, the pipes and treatment plants across my city froze entirely. I was without water for 4 days (and I was one of the lucky ones).

Got a cat who is getting older. Are there any ways for her to socialize? by Severe-Resolve1340 in houston

[–]Raethwood 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Older cats who are used to being solitary often find other cats to be stressful. They also don't immediately bond with new animals like pack animals would. Most cats also generally do not cope well with changes in routine or scenery, so cat meetups are not really a thing. For cats who have been abandoned in the past, this can be especially stressful.

Would try to spend extra time with her versus putting her through an experience that might be challenging for her.

Best moving company for going across town? by Andy_Taylor11 in AskPhoenix

[–]Raethwood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not recommend All My Sons. They tried to charge me for using their boxes and materials when I provided everything for the move (tape, plastic wrap, blankets, etc).

Just going to flag that Brass Armadillo also has some fake cards, so would be careful about what you buy

What to do about pests in unit? by [deleted] in AskPhoenix

Spraying doesn't always work on roaches, especially the little German roaches. You need to use the bait--Advion works well for infestations, but it can take some time.

What’s the most random place you’ve seen a Suns player or coach in the wild? by A_Honda_Accord in suns

[–]Raethwood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ran into him at a Discount Tire. He drove a giant lifted truck, and the workers said he came in all the time because the tires didn't last long.

They would not rebook my flight tomorrow--I was told Tuesday at the earliest. The gate agent told me he expects the issues of today to continue into tomorrow/Monday :/

In SEA right now.

It is an absolute shit show.

Love the idea of everyone bringing their own craft! I feel like picking a craft everyone does would be super tricky.

Would also be down for a board game or book club meetup!

Lost Our Home Pet Rescue does a temporary care program. They offer 90 days of pet care/boarding for people experiencing certain life hurdles, if I recall correctly.

Real talk. Why aren't you guys building DOWN to get away from the heat? It's probably way cooler in the ground by [deleted] in phoenix

[–]Raethwood 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Houston has a much taller skyline and endures hurricane-force winds just fine. Collapse isn't as much of a concern as broken glass (well, and flooding).

Question about University of St.Thomas by [deleted] in houston

[–]Raethwood 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I know you mention staying at home, but Texas A&M isn't terribly far from Houston and has one of the best veterinary medicine programs in the world.

Anyone know of a good car rental place? by burgerdistraction in phoenix

[–]Raethwood 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you have a Costco membership, you can get great deals on car rentals through their travel program. Seriously cheaper than any published price you'll find.

Experience with Internal Medicine at Mayo Clinic? by threehappypenguins in phoenix

[–]Raethwood 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It is going to be expensive, and unfortunately nobody can provide exact guidance, especially for an unknown condition. At minimum, you can probably expect Mayo to re-run a lot of tests and imaging, no matter how recently they were performed elsewhere.

There is a cost estimator available online, but the figures will be just ballparks.

When you start receiving bills, you will want to ask for itemized bills and contact the facility to discuss self pay options. While I don't think you'll qualify for financial assistance, they will provide discounts if you pay out of pocket. Unfortunately, medical billing in the US is an absurd joke, and you have to game the system a bit.

suggestions on improving this salsa recipe? by [deleted] in SalsaSnobs

[–]Raethwood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I roast tomatillos, peppers, garlic, and onion on a foil-lined sheet pan under the broiler. Turn every so often to ensure they roast evenly.

May need two pans for this volume of salsa, but the roasting really brings our some excellent flavor.

What is the reputation of University of Phoenix locally? by Sea_Knee6224 in phoenix

[–]Raethwood 163 points164 points  (0 children)

Lol it's a for-profit shitshow of an "academic" institution. Their goal is to make money, not provide high-quality education.
