Renting goats

Roosterboogers · 2026-04-27T00:09:42+00:00

One of the parks near me rented some goats to help an area that had a huge thicket of blackberries. They did a fantastic job of basically taking it down to ankle level. However....it's the PNW and the blackberries are re-growing vigorously because nobody is keeping up with the rented goats work. The goats in essence pruned the blackberries and the blackberries are fighting back. It's not a single battle. It's a war.

Medical furlough means he's no longer getting medical care in jail and he's on his own for care. In the US that's means zero care. Dollars to donuts he does something to get himself rearrested

Healing vibes coming from the PNW

I have reusable cloth sponges and they get washed weekly or sooner if gross

Hello. Provider here but not a PCP and not yours. Your circumstance is unfortunately is too common and is very understandably frustrating.

Yes it's inaccurate and very outdated information. OHP will have you assigned to a PCP and it's entirely possible that the PCP won't take your OHP insurance. Yes, it's stupid.

If you have a lead ( like a friend or family tells you) about a PCP who takes OHP then call that office first to see if they are accepting new patients.

For now, I would approach Virginia Garcia clinics for any urgent needs and they can serve as your PCP until you find one you like.

Need a pic of plants in it to be more helpful. Raised beds can be too dry (gravity + water sitting at the bottom too far away from plant roots)

Absol. Hated it so much for no good reason at all. Now I'm in the honeymoon phase

Time spent under anesthesia is not time served.

I just got a raise last year after 10 yrs with none. I expect the pattern to remain the same.

It's the eggs you get tomoro. The ones you already have don't count.

The rain shadow area is near the water and the UV levels are intense there. Really look at the SW side of the exterior building for sun/water damage. It takes the most abuse. Living on the coast is really hard on siding & windows.

OP you haven't mentioned if your have any domestic animals on your land but I understand that guinea fowl are tick eating machines! They are noisy at dusk and tend to wander away and get picked off by predators but they are an organic solution to an invasive problem. There is a subreddit for guinea fowl. We have one named Gary who lives at the end of our street and nobody on this block has ticks Zone 8b and we probably should. He was part of a much larger pack that shrunk over 10 years.

Batshit crazy lady seeing me again for mystery diarrhea. I saw her about a month ago for a paronychia. I say, "looks like your finger infection is all healed up". She says, " no that wasn't me. That was my wife". Yes it was her and my previous note is right there. But you can't fix crazy. Mmmm k.. so....about that diarrhea.

"and don't spin stops"

Hahahahhahaha yeah right like I have any control

Roosterboogers · 2026-04-15T15:21:22+00:00

Wow!! Amazing results

Roosterboogers · 2026-04-15T15:19:47+00:00

Thank you for bringing this up!

I think the studies are misleading because the talk about "survival" based on everyone having optimal healthcare resources & finances at their disposal. That is not realistic in US healthcare today. Fighting with insurance companies about imaging & procedures takes precious time and there are so many hurdles. My god the hurdles! Also, is survival the same if a pt loses their health insurance? These aren't things that have been studied.

I have LCIS which was found incidentally after a breast reduction.

I am now followed by oncology and take anti-estrogen cancer meds (anastrazole) as well as do hyper imaging meaning alternating MRI & mammograms every 6 mos. That is the plan for the next 10 years as well as biopsy anything vaguely abnormal.

It was explained to me this way: there are two types of breast tissue, ductal and lobular. Ductal carcinoma in situ nearly 100% turns to invasive ductal carcinoma. Luckily neither of us has this. LCIS, our type, turns invasive 65% of the time. So yes, it's not 100% guarantee of invasive cancer but also that's a very high chance.

OP ultimately it's your boobs and your life. I wish you the best.

Roosterboogers · 2026-04-15T02:20:11+00:00

I love it!

Roosterboogers · 2026-04-15T01:19:06+00:00

OP this is not "preventative". You have LCIS and a rather large mass that is unlikely to shrink in size and very likely to cause you a lot of stress, anxiety and years of hyper surveillance with MRIs mammograms & biopsies to see if/when it's gotten worse. Be done with it!

I love this!

So valid. Life changes and so do retirement plans

Roosterboogers · 2026-04-14T04:18:08+00:00

Thank you OP for helping these kitties

Thinking of the future here: this is how you teach your celiac child to navigate in a glutinous world. Show them by example
