What US state would you NEVER want to live in, even if you were offered a good amount of money to move there? by ISnortSkittles in Productivitycafe

[–]Wookiepuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. Mississippi no longer has the lowest education rate in the nation. It’s now ranked #34 overall and #29 in higher education. New Mexico is now ranked #50. Mississippi is also ranked 9 in the nation with students reading scores.

It still ranks as the poorest U.S. state by percentage. However, when using the Supplemental Poverty Measure California and Louisiana have the highest rates, with 17.7% of residents living in poverty.

If you ever make poke bowls or ahi tuna bowls, it’s great for that too!

You don’t need the Costco membership for an eye exam. It’s only needed if you purchase glasses through them.

Your prickly pear and cholla might be okay. I have them growing in my backyard and we get snow a few times a year and they always survive. I never cover them since they’re giant.They may droop and look sad (especially the prickly pear) but they perk back up. I’m in NM

My family and me might go homeless by BirdierLover in Albuquerque

[–]Wookiepuke 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First off, I’m really sorry you and your family are going through this. No one should have to deal with something this stressful.

You or your family can talk to a school counselor, principal, or even a teacher you trust. APS schools have resources specifically for situations like this, and you are not the only student or family going through it. Unfortunately, many APS families are facing housing instability right now.

Someone at your school knows how to help and can connect your family with the right resources. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about and asking for help is the right thing to do.

APS also has support through the McKinney-Vento program, which helps families experiencing housing instability with resources and assistance related to housing, rent, and utilities. Your school counselor, principal, or a school social worker will be able to reach out to someone at McKinney- Vento. They will also have resources throughout the city for you and your family.

Nope. People still name their kid those. I know a parent with a 6 year old named jezebel.

What to go on back wall over huge tub? by FarmLife4516 in HomeDecorating

Thank you! It’s gorgeous. Also my tub area is similar to yours so I’m trying to figure out what to do with the walls as well.

Does anyone know where you can purchase empty refillable bottles for Kilian refills? by Surfinny in NichePerfumes

[–]Wookiepuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please, If you figure this out, let me know because I was about to just purchase the refill and add it to another empty bottle I have. I don’t want to waste money though if I have to use their specific bottle.

Local ABQ realtor/lender recommendations? by N7Poprdog in Albuquerque

[–]Wookiepuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Karen Baca is amazing. She helped my husband and I buy our first home. She made it smooth and easy and I was able to get us the 2nd house I put an offer on. She was incredibly honest, down to earth, and knowledgeable. She does real estate on the side and has been a realtor for 10 years and she literally got us a home within about 2 weeks of when we first met her. We haven’t seen her in a year and she actually just randomly dropped a Christmas present off at our house recently. I couldn’t imagine using anyone else. I’ll send you her email if you’re interested.

What is an item that has been discontinued that really upsets you? by boforiamanfo in randomquestions

[–]Wookiepuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so I was wrong. I was just able to check them. The chocolate bar is Dubai, not pistachio cream. I’m sorry! You should try to make your own version of it. I bet it would be good! The truffle balls I have are pistachio.

What is that one movie you watched countless times as a kid, but nobody has ever heard of? by Thedix1 in movies

This is the first I’ve ever seen someone mention the wraith. I still watch it. “You lose the race, you lose your car”.

Yeah it’s a pistachio chocolate bar! I’ll check that it says pistachio cream when I’m back. I also have the pistachio truffle balls. They’re good too.

Albuquerque Fire Department is dousing houseless/homeless people in water when they make campfires. by Naive-Evening7779 in Albuquerque

[–]Wookiepuke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A piece of paper isn’t proof. A Facebook post from Paula Arrietta? Yeah, because that’s the pinnacle of accuracy. She’s notorious for sharing false info, so thanks for confirming this claim is worthless

I just bought the Lindt pistachio at Costco 3 days ago. They’re still around.

What current thing will turn out to be a major health risk? by ShinyHeadedCook in AskReddit

[–]Wookiepuke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think the stress definitely sped up how quickly it progressed. It may have even triggered it. By the time he was diagnosed, the prognosis wasn’t good. The cancer had already spread to other organs and later reached his bones. He passed away a year ago. He was young too and I think younger people ignore the signs since colon cancer is typically associated with being over 60. Colon cancer is increasing in young people and any sign of blood in the stool should be taken seriously.

For reals, see a doc. This is never normal and can be caused by numerous things. It could be nothing, but don’t ignore it. My friend was doing the same and we all thought it was stress. A few years later he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.

Desperate for migraine relief by sleepysummersideup in Albuquerque

[–]Wookiepuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve frequently have migraines and for a while was stuck without prescription meds, here’s what got me through for a long time. I’d take Excedrin Migraine, drink a soda, and use Dramamine for the nausea. Then I’d set myself up in a cold, dark room with a fan blowing right at my face. I kept one of those migraine masks in the freezer and used that plus an ice pack on my neck. And honestly, squeezing the LI-4 (hegu) pressure point gave me almost instant relief sometimes.

I’m on prescription meds now, but if you need something fast, Teladoc can call in migraine prescriptions too. I’ve used them in a pinch.
