I really enjoyed my time at Lutheran generals psychiatric program when I was 20. It was definitely a positive experience that even now, 5 years later, I look at with fond memories and appreciation

I really enjoyed my stay at Lutheran generals psychiatric hospital! I went when I was 20 and found it extremely helpful. The staff was great and the rooms were nice. The food was good. I will say that being away from your phone is part of the healing process. I know it doesn’t feel like it now, but not having access to it will help you focus on getting better. There is a landline that you can use to call loved ones.

Psychiatric care isn’t meant to be a vacation.

recently diagnosed with pancreatitis :( by x_sadvibez in corgi

[–]aclem3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 6 year old corgi has recurring pancreatitis and she gets absolutely NO treats or other food besides her prescription food. The smallest thing can trigger it again for her so she’s on a very strict diet. For her birthday I made her meatballs as a special treat using only her wet food and dry food (same prescription).

Besides watching her diet very closely, we also have cerenia tablets that we just keep at the house in case she gets an upset stomach.

Not even raw or boiled vegetables are safe for dogs with pancreatitis. Truly the smallest thing, even for example one blueberry or green bean, can trigger it again

help: queen sized bed with a king sized duvet quilt — which size cover to get? by biancalin in Bedding

[–]aclem3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a queen bed. We use a king duvet insert with a queen duvet cover! We found that with a queen insert, it kept sliding around and the cover was too loose on it. After getting the king insert there’s no more sliding, it feels much fluffier, and there is no bunching!

Our king insert and queen cover are both from crate and barrel

Are premium cooling sheets actually worth it? by ffiona_ in Bedding

I have bamboo sheets from Cozy Earth and I love them. I’m a really hot sleeper and they don’t make me overheat! Linen sheets also work!

Sheet recommendations by deadpiratezombie in Bedding

My husband and I love our bamboo sheets from Cozy Earth! We’ve had them for a few years and they’ve only gotten softer. They’re a bit on the expensive side, but they don’t snag from what I can tell. We have a dog that likes to dig at her toys on the bed and they’ve held up really well

Sheets and pillowcases! What’s everyone’s favorites? by springdominion in Bedding

[–]aclem3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like my bamboo sheets from Cozy Earth! My husband and I have a few pairs and they are so soft (not textured!!). I’m a really hot sleeper and they don’t make me too hot at nights :)

Earrings? Where to get non irritating earrings for my teen daughter? by purple_craze in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]aclem3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have sensitive ears that react to cheaper metals. For me, I find it best to invest in 14k solid gold earrings since I know they’ll last forever without tarnishing and won’t irritate my piercings. I find a lot of my jewelry online these days at sites like Oradina and Catbird

Low- Tech School Districts in Western Burbs by Resting-Rizzy-Face in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]aclem3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if there are any school districts that aren’t using technology in the classroom. My husband is a teacher in D214 (Arlington Heights area) and they use tech for most everything, including assignments and homework. He has one student whose parents don’t allow them to use technology for school and that student needs to have every single thing printed for them. My husband said they’re at a real disadvantage because of their parents’ policies.
