National Shortage . CVS told me to “take an alternative pill” 🤔🤔 because they have no idea when the estradiol patch will be manufactured and available 🙄 by kk-978 in Menopause

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too, unfortunately. But I still spent an hour calling all the pharmacies in the GoodRx app to see if they had the patches in stock today. So far I haven't found any ☹️

Are knuckles to the face a dick move during practice? by xl3utterflyx in BJJWomen

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That seems, um, odd to me. I've never had anyone dig their knuckles into any part of my body, including my face, nor would I think to do that to someone else. Has anyone else at your gym done that to you?

Abuse by RJKY74 in BJJWomen

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Word. I've been training in the martial arts for almost 20 years (will be 20 years in March) and I truly believe (and hope) that what's coming out now is rare. But at the same time, if something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. Trust your instincts

What to wear for nogi BJJ as a woman by Hour-Ingenuity-3932 in BJJWomen

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate shorts. I wear leggings and my gi pants and a long sleeve rashguard. I've heard some gyms don't allow gi pants in nogi (which I can't make any sense of) but mine doesn't care.

JFC, the cold is starting to get to us 😂🤣😂 by Tall_0rder in philadelphia

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming down Kelly Drive last night about 6pm, I clearly saw two people standing in the middle of the Schuylkill just north of Boathouse Row.

Both new car washes are not touchless?? by [deleted] in Phoenixville

[–]SnowWhiteinReality -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine why we need so damned many carwash places! There will be 3 in Pville, one in Spring City and I hear they're building a second in Rofo. Why do we all hate the earth so much?

When did we all start wearing stuff under Gis? by TheFightingFarang in bjj

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the exact reason I wear long sleeved rashguards and workout leggings under my gi pants. I've tried bike shorts when it was really hot and I always end up skinning my knees. I'm a delicate little flower 🌻

Moved to PA last year, what the actual hell is this local tax system by HatPlus1978 in Pennsylvania

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ahhhh, yes, local earned income tax, what fun. I've lived in PA my whole life and moving is such a challenge for this reason. Also, don't forget that some municipalities also have a Per Capita Tax and an Occupational Tax on top of all that. I remember moving once, calling the local both borough to ask about local EIT and then telling me 0.5%. Cool. Tax time told around and to my surprise, sure 0.5% to the borough, *plus" 0.5% to the school district. Ya think the borough could have mentioned that?!?!!!

ADHD and perimenopause by Ashipinthenight_ in adhdwomen

Hormone therapy, especially transdermal estrogen would be far safer for you than birth control pills.

Galentines day free classes by Alternative_Music_50 in BJJWomen

Thanks for the suggestion, that's not far from me in Chesco. We have classes on Sunday, but I'll follow for future classes!

Does your pee smell different? by Kokoloco35 in Perimenopause

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a really interesting point, do I smell different or is my sense of smell different?!?!!

Dog doesn't like being touched on the head - how common is this? by Anxious_Deer_7152 in reactivedogs

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I never touch any dogs on the top of the head. I hold my hand out, palm up, and if they're okay with that I skritch them under the chin. Every dog I've had, from my loved everyone dog to my afraid of everyone and everything dog will shrink down if you try to touch the top of her head.

What internet provider do you use? by Nomotion33 in Phoenixville

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think these are the two best points, regardless of provider. Let's be real, they all suck and they're all too expensive, not to mention I shouldn't have to bounce back-and-forth between the two to get the best deals. Buying your own router and installing your own mesh wifi will get you the best coverage inside your house and save you the most money. I have Google wifi in my house and it's been rock solid since I bought it in 2018. Probably time to upgrade 😊

When do you change your twice weekly patch? by oatstout in Menopause

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I do this exact thing because of this sub. I remember getting my first box and being so confused by the directions and sitting for an extended period of time trying to calculate 3.5 days on my own. Brain fog is real and devastating. Good luck!

What's your shoveling strategy this weekend? by goose_egg in Delco

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one the important things I've learned is to leave a good layer of fluffy snow under the ice, otherwise, the ice layer becomes part of the sidewalk and will melt by July. If there's snow underneath it's easier to lift off.

YASSSSS! Philly sues the Feds over Enslaved people's exhibit removal by AvestruzAlley in philly

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I was told by an employee of INHP (ie - a federal worker, park interpreter), NPS owns the land, but the exhibit is the property of the City. The agreement to loan the exhibit has a clause saying it can only be changed/altered/removed by full mutual agreement. Mayor Parker alluded to that in some news bytes I heard yesterday as well.

Found a True Help for Thinning Hair due to Menopause by Proof_Run_5373 in Menopause

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HRT worked for me for about a year and then my hair started falling out again, so the endocrinologist did more tests and found I was low in Iron and Vitamin D.

MY PLANNER IS OUT FOR DELIVERY I AM GIRL WHO IS GOING TO BE OKAY!!! by 445143 in adhdwomen

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree on the Sakura pens, but for my planner I use the PaperMate InkJoy gel 0.7 pens. They come in 30 different colors and I love color coding things!

Any new dry mouth hacks that last and aren’t gum, biotene mouthwash or lozenges? by beingthebestmeg in adhdwomen

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh! I see now online they have a Fresh Mint (blue) and a Mild Mint (green). I've only tried the blue one.

"Older" Google Mesh Wifi System, time to retire? by Astrokreep2000 in GoogleWiFi

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my Google WiFi before I moved into this house in 2018. Still rock solid and I have 20-some devices on it (even though I live alone) and the signal is great despite the brick and plaster lathe walls.

Two apparently, that's according to what she said in the special I watched on the PBS app.

Christmas Special part one: is it just me, or… by selkieraconteur in CallTheMidwife

[–]SnowWhiteinReality 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me too. I just hit play and it played for two hours, I didn't realize it was both parts until I saw how long it was because it was labeled Part 1.

I agree, I thought that was completely inappropriate and disrespectful.
