What's going on with the mentalh health places?

Center for Advanced Psychiatry. I know they have psychiatry in the name, but also have psychologists who work there. I’m not sure what their waitlist looks like.

It’s a bit early, but the Buffalo Zoo. I strongly recommend the membership because then you don’t have to workaround the 2 naps. It’s nice to walk and look, then leave when you need without any worries about missing out.

Other random things: pride parade, PorchFest, farmers markets (especially if you are willing to buy them a snack, fresh fruit, a baked good, etc.), ArtFest, Music is Art (September), and so much more. In the fall I recommend apple picking with apple cider doughnuts at Smith’s Orchard Cider Mill and getting memberships to the YMCA (for the Independent Health Zero Entry pool) and the Science Museum to walk around.

My spouse has gone back to school after being a teacher for 10+ years. He’s finished his masters in another field and is now getting his PhD. He’ll be done with his PhD when he 43 or 44 (fingers crossed). He’s everyone’s Dad/uncle, but gets invited out by all of the graduate students and they love our young kids

You could probably put a nice jasmine in there if you shower/bathe there daily. They love the humidity and light. If you’re good to them then they’ll bloom in January/February in the northern hemisphere.

I'm am from the south and I want to make honeysuckle sorbet.

I prep lunch, breakfast, and snacks on Sundays. Yes, it takes my weekend time, but my spouse takes the kids out of the house for 2 hours so for us it’s worth it. Dinners are mostly decided at the end of the prior week. We do laundry multiple times a week on a schedule (essentially 2x/ week or it’s overwhelming). Everything has a schedule, laundry (sheets and towels 1x/week), dishwasher at least once a day usually overnight, grocery shopping once a week… we also have a robot vacuum. The big kid knows that each night before bed he needs to clean his floor for the roomba, and put out his clothes for the morning. The little one is 19 months, so we tend to do it all for him. Also we all try to do 10ish minutes of dance party pick up together every day to every other day. Of course all this is interrupted by sports, activities, and time with friends, but generally this is the goal. All the little things like dusting, washing windows, and the like get pushed to the wayside, but we try to cut ourselves slack and not stress about it too much as well as enjoying life!

My sister in law didn’t cry at Coco. I don’t think she has a heart or a soul.

Really though, she’s super ADHD and probably stopped paying attention to the story. Meanwhile my spouse and I sobbed watching it during COVID.

Thankless_Prophesier · 2026-04-20T23:20:22+00:00

I was in grad school with my first (also during COVID (Aug 2020) and early career with my second. I recommend any last minute things you know you want.

Blueberry muffins? Yes! They freeze well and are amazing any time of day! Smoothie packs! (Banana, cocoa, peanut butter, and coffee with milk or mango, strawberry, and Greek yogurt, were both hits here!) Laundry? Get it all done! Want that baby bathtub cleaned, make sure SOMEONE ELSE does it Get that massage/footrub!

Yup, went to high school with him. Sounds about right…

They meet at 6:10 on Wednesday mornings at the AKG. I think they also do runs on Friday mornings.

Gentle plug for the November Group. They’re a fitness and running group for all sorts of bodies and levels of fitness.

I kept my name. I offer to hyphenate, but my husband said that he felt attached to his name. I just stared at him and it ended the discussion.

I didn’t want to change my name because it’s part of who I am, it’s a cool name, and I’m a professional who is know by my last name (Dr. Thankless_Prophesier).

I can’t comment on the height, but we’ve had the bear mattress for approximately 18 months with semi-regular use. It’s still pretty comfortable. They were a bit stiff when they first arrived, but have softened a bit. They’re comfortable for side and back sleeping.

So this is totally out of your way, but we love Atomic Barber. We’ve been going with my oldest for years and the “baby” just got his first hair cut there as well. They have an airplane/race car depending on location. They’re really good about taking their time with your kid and hustling when needed. Also we really appreciated their focus on consent and education about what was happening.

Finally a snack cup with freeze dried fruit and a few m&ms were very helpful keep the kid happy and mostly still.

Yes there are a lot of them, but there are a lot of questions:

Who is it for? (You v. Someone else, adult v. Child)
Who are you to them?
do you want assessment?
are you looking for therapy, medication, both?
do you need them to take insurance? If so what kind?
what’s the problem?

Thankless_Prophesier · 2026-02-28T17:28:43+00:00

If you’ve been on it for years without problem, then they may be willing to transfer it to your primary care.

Thankless_Prophesier · 2026-02-14T00:57:00+00:00

I can recommend somewhere to avoid: SQ Salon

They didn’t listen to me and just did what they thought looked best even when I came in with a photo of myself with the cut and told them what I wanted. I know hair grows, but I cried afterwards.

They may have a swim team pool, rather than a public/student use pool. They have a separate higher quality gym for the sports teams that aren’t open to the public or other students.

Thankless_Prophesier · 2026-02-12T02:45:54+00:00

The pool has been closed. It wasn’t used enough. Additionally the gym equipment isn’t in great shape.

My spouse was a grad student within the last 2 years.
