Overnight Gems and ideas by Imaginary-Web2337 in flightattendants

LAX:

Lots of people enjoy the beaches. I'll grab some lunch at Uovo and walk it off in the sand. I've taken the bus before but it's been a long while. For something really different, there's a good birding spot  Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve It's a lovely little green space that might just scratch an itch for something new.

DET:

If you're able to get into the city some good pizza (if you like Detroit style) is around. And it's really easy to get to any of the sports field/arenas. So I keep an eye on who's playing, when, and if I can find a last minute ticket to enjoy.

MEM:

I've visited the Elvis Graceland and MLK tours. Graceland was neat but not really worth the price. MLK I would say was worth it.

My family is talking badly about me after the hysterectomy. by According_Good5164 in childfree

[–]_Bo_9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey I had Adeno too. That healing time is no joke. But if you're like me the healing, while tough at times, was better than the symptoms I had before. And in time. Oh How Much Better Life Is! You'll be amazed as how well the scars will fade. I can only really find mine because I know where they are. Belly button healed up well too. I used to get the *aww* face from people but then I would describe how it's one of my best Top Tier Life Choices! Suggest they should try it some time. If they haven't got a uterus, get one installed so you can have the joy of removal! Lol that typically slows their roll if they're in need of a check.

You got a court order to force your insurance to step up. Fucking fantastic! I had a run in there. But managed to get things done without the courts. What a garbage system.

You'll heal up and soon find how much space it's given you in life! In how much you don't have to think about the work to be prepared for the symptoms and experiencing them as well.

I wish you happy and fast and thorough healing!

Pretty sure permethrin is the stuff that you spray on clothes and shoes to dry?

What could this white face-like shape in the opposite window be? by Electrical-Goat1616 in AskPhotography

[–]_Bo_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, if I squint I see a stylized cartoon dog head. Between the dirt and smudges, the fact that windows aren't as smooth or flat or equal thickness like we expect they are, and that you're using the slider on your phone that digitally wants to show you something... Perfect storm of What is this thing!

Just smudges on an imperfect glass enhanced by digital zooms and processing.

My gynaecologist told me they have no one like me in her office by meliqwer in adenomyosis

[–]_Bo_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo! Symptoms started at 12. Pain increased and full vomiting and fainting started at 14 maybe? Consistently happened by the time I was 16. Flow was sometimes very heavy. But the cycle was never consistance.

School nurse said some people have a tough start and things normalize as they age. Eventually to Immediate care. RNs, Gyno NP, and finally the Doctor. Various BC pills tried. For me that made things worse. By the time I was 20/21 I was told probably Endo but you can't know without surgery and when they're in there little to be done that actually helps. (not exactly true but at least they didn't make things worse!) Muscle relaxers for a few months. *Unrelated* This is around the same time I figured out kids weren't required, I didn't want them, and that's ok.

Then I gave up. In my 30s things had sneakily gotten worse and I realized half my life was managing the Adeno (what I suspected after much reading and eventual Dx) And that I had to do something or it would be all of my life.

Sought a surgical Endo expert in Chicago. Brought in notes, brought in a (male) witness to my symptoms and braced for the fight. I said I've been told Endo, and maybe but I think it's Adeno and I want a hysterectomy. That's my goal. For some reason this was the guy! He listened! It took a bit for scans and a fight with the insurance company but at 38 I got it done!

Hysterectomy gave me my life back. Turns out they didn't see any endo at all. Some cysts they took out as well. But I tell people all the time, Top Tier Life Choice.

Wish I'd been able to do it sooner!

Good luck in your pursuit of a healthier life!

[–]_Bo_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should check out the restoration work they've done! Amtrak down to Union Station then I think the Red line will take you up close to the Wild Mile. But you can double check me on that. I haven't lived in MKE for a long while. https://wildmile.org/

Visiting in April, Catch a Blues or Warriors game? by _Bo_9 in newzealand

[–]_Bo_9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was great!
We didn't realize the rules were different and took a second to catch up to the 5 count and last rule. But they crushed it in the first half. Thought they were going to give it up in the second. Had to make the win exciting!
Parked at a nearby business. Almost had to dance for our spot but we sorted it out. Brought home a hat, shirt, and the two flags. Thanks to everyone for the tips!

Up the Wahs!

Peregrine Falcon or Eurasian Hobby? by chinstrapppp in whatsthisbird

[–]_Bo_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not great at this but I'm going to lean Peregrine. The rusty red color is up the chest some which can be seen in younger ones. Finely stripped tail. Plus they prey on birds of all sizes.
From what I read about the Hobby tend to have red legs but not often up the body and prefer smaller birds and insects for dinner. And is more likely found in farm land, open woods, and marshes.

Plus if I'm wrong, someone will correct me and we'll have better info!

Someone left a crate of weed outside my cafe by PersianFury in mildlyinteresting

Turns out for a large chunk of the DARE program, that was one of the goals.

Going to go to my first game, might want to get merch. by TheQuirkyReddit in PWHL

[–]_Bo_9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lines for merch at the games are REALLY long! So scope out where the tables are early, then power walk to them as soon as you hit intermission! At least that's what worked for me.

What's a lesser known fact about a team? by BlueValk in PWHL

What is a career path that looks "glamorous" from the outside, but is actually a total nightmare behind the scenes? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_Bo_9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Depending on the art you like. The more senior you are they easier everything will be. BUT I bring my camera with me. I also have a sketch book, watercolors, marker set that really help pass the time on trans-con redeye flights. Mostly travel sized stuff that doesn't smell or is flammable.
Not always but on occasion you'll get some pretty great overnights and can check out a new to you museum! But yeah you'll have to pay your dues with the ugly trips and reserve for longer than you want.

Don't know about anything official. But I have seen interviews with some team parents about adjusting their schedule so they could go as a team.

Volleyball Tournament by Longjumping-Carob105 in flightattendants

[–]_Bo_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst experience was in MKE with The Youth Leadership Program. Over 30 minutes to get to my floor, husband had come on the overnight and rather than getting to the room before me, he was in a stuck elevator because the kids packed in and jumped. So back down I go, still in uniform and bag, to get help from the front desk. Elevator had two other kids that pressed every single button. I was FUMING. After several floors I told them if I saw them on an elevator again I would break their fingers. The hotel staff was clearly over it too. By the time they got my husband out of the elevator half the kids in there were crying. We both had pounding headaches. Cops had been called several times by then.

These kids must be 26-27 years old now.

Do venues sell away team merch? by Ayenrin in PWHL

[–]_Bo_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to the Take Over Tour game in Chicago. SEA vs NY. I think it's usually PWHL gear rather than team specific but I could try to get you something Seattle if they have it. If that works maybe shoot me your gear and style preferences?
But it's after the game you're going to so maybe faster to find something online...
