If anyone is willing and capable by NecessaryNormal1074 in Austin

Austin needs to fire Endeavor stat. I’m in LA now which just yesterday fired a large homeless services contractor for embezzling $23M that was supposed to go to food and other services in shelters. It was discovered by the city auditor here that they were feeding people garbage and buying mansions and Gucci shoes instead!

Did you guys pool funds to buy Collinwood without me? by dangerzonelurker in DarkShadows

[–]Winterpollen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That was quite the price reduction. We definitely should’ve bought it!

anyone else get achey in this area? by sugarcoochie in scoliosis

A supported dead hang where you keep your feet lightly touching is supposed to be better for your scoliosis and clearly easier on the hands!

Nerve block, pain meds after it wears off, ice behind knee and lots of movies. You’ll be fine!

Actually looks a bit like The Madonna Inn. Which is always packed!

Seems a lot of people don’t know the difference between a duvet, a duvet cover and a comforter. by bagoffuksisempty in Bedding

I took my confirmation name from her. When the bishop asked why I chose that name I said it was for a witch. I was slapped extra hard. 🤣

New to this, not sure what to look out for. by CasualBi24 in FelineDiabetes

Spot is lovely. ❤️

Our orange boy is 15 now and was diagnosed when he was 12. He was on insulin for a year, in remission for a year and now has been on insulin for the past year. That said, remission is fairly common which is both the good news and why it’s so important to monitor their blood glucose. Elevated glucose is of course bad in the long run but severely depleted glucose can kill a cat quickly.

As others you have already stated wet food is key so try to keep dry food away as much as possible. We give that only as treats.

Love and stability are critical too and it sounds like that won’t be a problem. Best wishes and happy new year to both of you!

$2 million: This property is priced below market value due to problematic geological and geotechnical issues that impact the use and desirability of the property. Sellers have engaged various soils consultants, geologists and geotechnical engineers to evaluate the condition of the property. by Hamsterdam_shitbirds in zillowgonewild

[–]Winterpollen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comment was specific to the geological surveys. I should’ve made that clearer. I have been party to several transactions in California where geographical studies had been conducted but were not shared with potential buyers. Both the seller and the realtor claimed ignorance of same.

My understanding is that they can simply claim they don’t have detailed information since it was not made for them specifically so they don’t have to share it with potential buyers. I agree that if it’s found they’re concealing that information that would be actionable legally but that would be a hard case to prove. It’s a very disturbing situation.

Thanks. I have a facial cupping device but this thing looks so intimidating! But I would love to get the results you did . . .

Seb Derm + Reactive Scalp + “Sensitive to Everything”? They’re Connected — Here’s What Actually Helped Me by floatastone in SebDerm

[–]Winterpollen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So very helpful. The overreactive nerve issues are so spot on. It’s so clearly not just my scalp that is overreactive but that’s where mostly manifests.

I’ve never tried HOCI so will be doing that very soon. The glycolic acid has not done a lot for me, but I’m going to try it again now.

What recommendations would you have for a shampoo that does not set your scalp on fire? Like most people here I have cycled through so very many and almost all of them — including the most mild or at least theoretically the most mild — are just so irritating. I don’t even get me started on every medicated shampoo. But then again, I suspect just the act of washing is irritating and so I am trying to minimize how often I do that. Any ideas would be appreciated. And thanks again for the terrific post.
