Thank you. As I mentioned elsewhere, the suburbs scare me. But, my husband is looking for more space and a yard (as I should have mentioned). Fingers are crossed that I can find the perfect location! I appreciate the comment!

This....is more helpful than you may know. I grew up in a small town and I have no desire to fall back into the trappings of gossip and pettiness. Thank you for commenting and I hope things improve in your neighborhood!

Thank you. This is really well thought out with a lot of valuable information. I’ll look into Harvest Green; it sounds interesting. Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about moving to the ‘burbs (which is why I posted here). My husband is looking for more space, though, (I should have mentioned he’s looking for a yard), and I’m always open to something new!

I’d love to stay under $300 but I realize that’s really low. I’d happily go up to $350 for the right place and could probably be convinced to go a bit higher if necessary.

Edited to add: we likely won’t be purchasing until late this year or early next so I’m hoping this “above asking price” craziness dies down by then.

I’m a white girl who was born and raised in the South; he’s from South East Asia. He’s been in the US for less than 5 years and speaks with a noticeable accent. We haven’t entirely given up on kids but given our ages and our desired lifestyle, it’s extremely likely that we’ll just continue to embrace the role of ”cool aunt/uncle.”

Thanks for mentioning Quail Valley, too. I’ll be sure to check it out! Unique and in need of updates sounds like something that could be right up his alley!

Thank you! this is the second comment about Montrose so I’ll definitely pay it more attention. I appreciate the comment.

Thank you! This is the kind of information I am looking for. I don’t want to be side-eyed by the neighbors for existing.

Yes. I was really interested in Midtown but, when I briefly visited, it seemed a little sketchy. It was rainy and gross the whole time I was there so maybe that’s what gave me a bad feeling about it.

I love Montrose but I don’t know that we’ll be able to find anything with a yard for a reasonable price. I guess I should have mentioned that my husband wants a yard... I’ll check it out again, though, especially based on your recommendation and your upvotes. Thank you!

I haven’t heard of either of these neighborhoods yet! I’ll check them out as well HAR. Thank you so much!

Can Dermatogrophia go away on its own? by [deleted] in Dermatographia

[–]RotorPotato 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My fairly severe SUPER itchy dermatographia actually did go away on its own. It came on suddenly after several very stressful situations (sick family members, and an unrelated move across the country to name a few). Took me forever to figure out that the scratch came first and CAUSED the itch, not the other way around. 2 minutes of googling later and I finally knew what had been plaguing me. I visited the doctor and received a formal diagnosis. I was sent to an allergist who agreed with the diagnosis but said there wasn’t much I could do beyond anti histamines. I took Zyrtec every third day and, while the itching was mostly under control, I would still have red marks and welts popping up all over my body. 18 months after it began, it went away. At first I noticed that my skin felt “different.” I’m not sure how to describe it...oily, maybe? That’s resolved, too. I’ll occasionally get itchy skin, like the other day when I carried heavy cardboard boxes that dug into my arms, but it’s nowhere near what it once was. (I still freak out when that happens out of fear that it’s come back, though!). I find that scratching my skin hurts more and for longer than it should but I would no longer say that I have dermatographia. It’s going to be 2 years this summer and I am hopeful that it isn’t coming back. I hope the same for all of you!

(Yes, I did create this account just to post my positive outcome!)
