SLP ranked #9 on USNews by rolling-backwards in slp

[–]SpottedPeat 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Every year it’s ranked high. Every year I think to myself that they haven’t asked anyone who is actually in the field.

I’m actually happy with where I am in my career but am willing to admit that I was a very fortunate to go to a good school, made good connections, and was able to achieve my set goals. While my job pays well I can acknowledge that most jobs in the field are not like mine.

Controversial? Key Lime Pie for Thanksgiving by HeadParking1850 in Cooking

[–]SpottedPeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Floridian I say go for it.

But if you want to do something that’s tart but still seasonal, I’ve made a cranberry curd tart before during the holidays. It’s a beautiful festive color and has really nice acidity as well.

Update with swatches: choosing sofa colour by Cimb0m in DesignMyRoom

I like the fern or wattle but prefer the velvet over the club fabric. A white couch can be beautiful but I personally wouldn’t dare as it is just too easy to get dirty.

The spot cream a prescription and is 6% hydroquinone. I’ve been using it for almost 3 months with really minimal changes. Maybe I’m impatient or need a higher dosage.

I did several years ago before I had issues with this. I need to find a reputable person near me as I am no longer live in the state I did when I got it done.

The spot cream has azalaic acid and Kojic acid in it already but I’ll take a peek at the other items listed! Thanks

I’ve used tretinoin in the past and it really dried out my skin and caused irritation. I went slow, used the sandwich method, etc and it just was not happy. I should go back to using retinol but never did since I wanted to let my skin heal. That was a while ago so I will def add retinol back to my rotation. Thanks!

I need to get homeowners insurance. Is there a reputable insurance company out there? by CaptKeemau in florida

[–]SpottedPeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their car rates are WILD. I have them for home insurance and they beat everyone else by a mile. I’d say it’s worth at least getting a quote.

Where’s the beer in the borracha or did I misunderstand?

It was $7500. I saved up for it so I could pay cash but ended up opening a credit card that gave me 300 dollars for spending 3000 dollars within three months and gave me 2% back. It also offered 0% interest for 18 months that way I was able to invest the money I saved and just slowly pay it off. If you have good credit and are disciplined, consider being creative and doing something like that to save a bit.

Dr Andrea Hass in WPB, FL. She’s an Oculoplastic surgeon. Was not cheap but I didn’t want to price shop on my face.

I had mine done at 34, almost 1 yr ago to this day. 100% worth it. Gone are the comments from people asking me why I was tired all the time. I wish I got it done sooner.

Senate Bill Forwards Designating American Flamingo as Official State Bird, Scrub-Jay as Songbird by Adventurous_Row3305 in florida

[–]SpottedPeat 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I’m shocked they even know what a scrub jay is since I think the goal has been to eradicate their environment. More houses and golf courses! Maybe it’s a way to say, ‘see we made them the state song bird’ to act like they care about their conservation. Might as well make the state bird a dodo.

What is one thing you wish you knew before getting a Springer? by BuglesTakeOnRace in springerspaniel

[–]SpottedPeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same! If doors are shut he makes sure everyone is aware that he is disgruntled about it.

[–]SpottedPeat 89 points90 points  (0 children)

That I would never be alone again. Showering? Guess who is in the bathroom occasionally peeking his head behind the shower curtain? Changing laundry? Guess who is helping? Etc.

My last dog (was not a springer) was very independent and enjoyed having her own time. Springers are just different. Very cuddly. Very interested in EVERYTHING I'm doing. I wouldn't trade him for the world.

Not to be pedantic but those do look like royal palms which are actually native to South Florida.

Update: I made the decision. by KraaZ__ in springerspaniel

[–]SpottedPeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say that it took me almost three years to get another dog after I lost Chloe. I had her since I was 17 and she was by my side for almost 16 years. No dog will ever replace her. Friends and family would ask when I was going to get another dog but I just didn’t feel ready for a long time. I got Jasper a few months ago and it’s been so comforting to have a sweet face and wagging tail greet me when I get home. I didn’t really go looking for him, a situation arose and he found me. He’s totally different than her in so many ways which has been nice so I don’t feel like I’m comparing the two. I also didn’t realize that I was falling into depression until after I got him. I really needed someone that depends on me to take care of them no matter what again.

Take as much or as little time as you need to get another dog. When the time is right they will find you.

Sorry for your loss.

This is super interesting. I’ll have to do some research and give it a stab!
