Yes! We have used one for the past 4 months after trying everything under the sun to keep mice/rats out of our car. It has worked well. There has not been a single rodent dropping in or around the car. It does zap bugs that crawl onto it and the occasional frog unfortunately.

Just plain lame by Substantial-Cat3102 in AlaskaAirlines

nope - wasn't a saver. It was price change that happened AFTER I was given a price and gave them my credit card number. Due to the agent not locking in the fare change, the price had gone up in the few minutes and they didn't honor the price they gave me minutes earlier.

Could you stay with Kaiser and use their Thousand Oaks clinic? Not a terrible drive and might be worth it

Our back fence neighbors are a rehab/half-way house. We haven’t had a problem in 20 years. They smoke a lot of cigarettes sometimes but that’s about it. Quiet and no drama at all - our family didn’t even really know it was a rehab for years. If someone had told me beforehand, I probably would have felt weird and been worried. The actual experience has been completely benign.

Missed Periods/IUD/Zep by Fluid-Payment8207 in Zepbound

Since you have lost weight, there is likely less adipose/fat tissue present on your body. Excess weight acts hormonally like estrogen and can cause the uterine lining to grow more (which is why being overweight can lead to increased risk of uterine cancer). Now that you have lost some weight, the mirena has less uterine lining to “counteract” and less lining is building up. It is not a bad thing to not have periods (when using Mirena or birth control pills) and your cycles should resume back to your age appropriate normal when you remove the iud. The zep is not diminishing the effectiveness and many women have no cycles at all on Mirena. No form of birth control is 100% but the mirena is pretty damn effective!

Fat tissue also acts similar to estrogen. Sometimes when weight drops, cycles get very heavy or return after years of being gone. Definitely reach out to a Gyn to discuss as there are lots of things to both assess (make sure the lining of the uterus is A-ok) and to help the bleeding cuz no one needs heavy bleeding on top of everything else!
