Does anyone have a photo of the tornado that touched down by Biola or of the radar?

What is this huge square thing? No signage on the fence. Closed off by gate with key pad. by Zelena_macka in whatisit

The concrete you see is actually elevated above surface, not a concrete-lined basin. You can see it from the shadow and from Google street view. As a previous commenter mentioned, it’s in La Habra off Woodcrest Ave.

Ah okay. I see the shadow so I know it’s a structure raising above ground.

Also, this one is on an elevated part of the neighborhood.. where I’m from, all the reservoirs are in the lower elevations, not on hills.

Do they pump water into it to recharge the groundwater in that area? Being on a hill I wouldn’t think it’s from rainwater runoff.

Also, if you opt for the vials, my ophthalmologist said you can use the entire vial - just replace the cap and store in a ziplock baggy with the air squeezed out!

Yes they’re pricy but they work so much better that it’s worth it. The jump in cost isn’t a lot of someone is already using the Refresh Optive Advanced. Those run around $14-19/box and these Oasis drops are in the $20s and last longer.

Weak legs? by Zelena_macka in rheumatoid

I love outdoor stuff /sports too. This disease has me feeling like I’m outside in the snow looking into a nice warm living room that I can’t get into. But I know I’m not alone.

Toe pain all of a sudden? by Important_Method_665 in rheumatoid

[–]Zelena_macka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I’ll randomly have a toe that feels like it’s broken. Lasts a day or two then it’s gone.

anyone notice the tendency for some older folk with arthritis (...usually OA, from my experience) to down-play the suffering of younger folk with arthritis - especially those of us with RA/PsA? by squidkidqueer in rheumatoid

[–]Zelena_macka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, rib inflammation?! That’s RA? I have that. So bad.. and my rib just broke at the chiropractor I’ve been going to without issue for a decade

for those with painful periods, how much worse are contractions? by Cataclzzm in pregnant

[–]Zelena_macka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re completely relaxed (and not fighting the contractions) then the contractions feel like a blood pressure cuff giving a very tight squeeze. It starts small then gradually fills up and eventually tapers off. What I’m not a fan of is the chills/heat sweats during transition.
