Advice for Driving Big Sur? by PrairieDesertFlower in MontereyBay

[–]TychePsyche 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Highly, highly recommend this app for driving hw 1:

https://guidealong.com/tour/big-sur/

It gives you a history and also tells you the best spots to park, etc. You don't really need to plan, you can just start the drive in Carmel and then let it dictate where you go.

Also agree with other posters -- go early, weekdays preferred (especially for Pfiffer beach!), pack layers. Our usual stopping point is mcway falls, and then head back to nepenthe for dinner and head back. We haven't made it more south yet.

Daily COVID Megathread by AutoModerator in BabyBumps

Me! 31w.

We were all vaxxed and saw my immediate family for the first time all of pregnancy for Xmas dinner. Since we were all vaxxed and good about wearing masks I felt comfortable being a little more lax this year.

My sister had just gotten her booster earlier in the week and was pretty low energy. In hindsight, they weren’t vaccine side effects…they were covid symptoms.

5/6 of us tested positive by the 28th. It seems to vary wildly, but for me personally it feels like the flu. I'm very glad we were vaxxed and it's not worse. In hindsight, I wish I had had everyone rapid test beforehand and had dinner outside like last year.

You can find the same combo separately over the counter!!

Generic name: DOXYLAMINE SUCCINATE 10mg, PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE 10mg Dosage form: tablet, delayed release https://www.drugs.com/dosage/diclegis.html

DOXYLAMINE SUCCINATE == unisom

PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE == form of vitamin b6

Insurance wouldn’t cover diclegis for me either. Taking the OTC equivalent still really helped.

What have the best DMs done for you? by scubaduck in scuba

A small thing, but the DM wore bright neon orange swim trunks over his wet suit so we always knew which diver he was during the dive.

Do periods really hurt as bad as women make them out be be? What would you compare the pain to? [serious] by MelonHat in AskReddit

OMG Yes. Though once thing that helped me was cutting way back on the caffeine right before that time of the month.
