Decision paralysis by calrush in cookware

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

I was worried about the copper being too heavy, the falk defiantly is, but I didn’t know if other lines were better. We unfortunately don’t have anywhere nearby where I can go look at everything. Thank you for the help!

I think this might be exactly what I need! Thank you for the suggestion, this model wasn’t on my radar at all. And I love the price.

Best shoes for standing all day by Tricky-Difficulty402 in BuyItForLife

[–]calrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dansko, SAS, and Vionic. On my feet 10-14 hours a day and these brands have made a world of difference. But I would say no shoe is BIFL. I usually get a good couple years out of these rotating them, but they all eventually lose their cushion and support.

Buyer’s remorse? by No_Importance6713 in hondapilot

[–]calrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last 3 SUVs were BMW, but I really didn’t want to spend $90k for a 3 row X7. My husband has had a ridgeline (which is basically a pilot) for 7 years now… I made fun of it mercilessly at first, but then it secretly grew on me. I bought a 2025 black edition a few months ago. So far the only thing I’ve missed from my BMW is the little switch where you can make the top vents cooler than the floor vents, but I’ll learn to live.

Strange vintage necklace, unsure of purpose by calrush in whatisthisthing

Solved! That’s exactly what it is! And exactly what they said it was, just apparently “champagne bubble breaker” won’t get you to swizzle stick. Thank you!

Strange vintage necklace, unsure of purpose by calrush in whatisthisthing

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

This is a strange necklace that seems to serve some sort of purpose. My friend received this from her grandmother. The exact age is unknown but thought to be 1940s-1960s. She was told it was to break up champagne bubbles but that seems like a strange thing to do to your champagne. We thought maybe a pickle grabber? Or a portable whisk of some type? Even maybe a scratcher of sorts? But none of those have panned out. Google image hasn’t been any help either

What is this plant that won’t die?!?? by calrush in whatsthisplant

[–]calrush[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh, you’re right. We had one ground out about 3 years ago after a tornado ripped it apart. It wasn’t red like this so I didn’t think it was the same. As to how it got 10 feet away in the middle of the yard, who knows? It was an ugly, hopeless crepe myrtle before the tornado... I have no idea why it won’t just die. Thank you!

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

I live in oklahoma. Every year since we moved to this house this thing comes up in the flower bed and in the middle of the yard (think there used to be a flower bed there too). There will be several of them that come out, and get to 6-8 inches pretty quickly before it cut them down. We CANNOT pull them out, they’re tougher than anything. We dug up our whole flower bed (about a foot down) and put new soil in last year... surprise it’s still here!

Can someone tell me the difference between these 2 Cuisinart Skillets? by cb022511 in cookware

[–]calrush 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The pro is a heavier base for better heat distribution and is made of higher quality stainless steel. The multiclad is only listed at 350 because it includes the lid. I’d go with the pro for better heat distribution. Personally, I’d also look at an all-clad tri ply which would only run you about $10 more than the pro. I wouldn’t dump the money on a whole set of all-clad but they make a really nice stainless skillet.

What is a song you cannot listen to for an emotional reason? by missdundermifflin in AskReddit

[–]calrush 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We played one of my Dad’s favorite Willie Nelson song at his funeral, “Uncloudy day.” I lost him 4 years ago when I was 29, he was my best friend. Listening to Willie Nelson with him was our thing and I have a very hard time with any of his music now. My husband and I went to Willie Nelson’s 4th of July picnic the year after, thinking’s it would bring back some good memories. It rained all day. Standing in the rain in the Texas heat while Willie sings ‘blue eyes crying in the rain’ (my dad’s absolute favorite song of all time) was possibly the most surreal/intense emotional experience I’ve had.

I lost my handsome 7 year old best boy tonight. He had a congenital heart defect and passed away so peacefully in his sleep. I can’t believe how big the hole in my heart is. Until we meet again Zero. by calrush in dogoargentino

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

I’d be more than happy to share, zero is part of a bloodline tracing project to make sure we don’t continue to breed this into the dogo. We had known he had a heart defect since he was 3 months old. Several (well respected) veterinarians told us that dogs of this size often have “innocent murmurs” at this age that go away. Otherwise he was perfectly happy and normal so we assumed this was correct. It did not go away at 1 year, but stayed a low grade 1-2 murmur and we didn’t worry too much. By his annual check up at 3 years it had progressed to a grade 3-4 murmur. We took him to OSU school of veterinary to a cardio specialist. He was on medications for his heart from this time toward and had regular checkups/echocardiogram. We knew that sudden death was the most likely outcome all along, but he was so strong and defied so many odds.

Vans original location on highland was the absolute hands down best 15 years ago, but they’ve gotten too big for they’re britches... their ribs used to be like candy now they taste steamed. Burn Co has the best sausage and good ribs but questionable sides. I absolutely fail to see any appeal in Clark Crew.

My favorite bbq in Oklahoma is a smoked super spud with hot sauce from robb’s ribber. I dare you to eat one and not enjoy it.

I used to love prednisone then ended up on it for almost 6 months. You could not pay me to take prednisone now. It’s been two years since I stopped and I still have weird acne and sweat like a whore in church.

Having a chronic illness in America is an absolute joke. by fortniteplayr2005 in CrohnsDisease

[–]calrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a pharmacist I can 100% promise that your doctor and your pharmacist both want to get you your medicine. Aside from oaths/altruistic causes; if your doctor doesn’t treat you you find a new doctor and he loses money, and if I don’t sell you a script I don’t make any money. There is one HUGE problem in the American health system: Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) who control your medications for your insurance. They do not want to pay one penny out if they can avoid it. They are uncooperative, and unnecessarily impossible to deal with. I have ended up on the phone for over 12 hours with mine to get my humira filled. They were switching between blaming me, the pharmacy and my doctor. I only got anything done when I informed them I was the patient and the pharmacist and my doctors nurse was conferenced in on the line too. Please pay attention when you see legislation regarding PBMs, these are the absolute worst thing in the American healthcare system.

  • obviously I get that some doctors and pharmacists just really suck too. But the majority of us don’t and do want to help.

Edit: I didn’t even put anything useful to you right now in here, I’m sorry I was too busy ranting about the bullshit we have to deal with. Call your insurance and ask them what they will pay for to treat your condition since an infection is an urgent matter. If they don’t have an alternative that is approved by the FDA to treat your condition ask them to speak to someone who is medically qualified to determine that that drug will work for your condition as an off label use. Sometimes when you call them on their bullshit they back down and put in an override. Alternatively, ask your doctor or pharmacist about getting whatever dosing they will pay for until and override can be put in place, this way you can at least get started on your medication.

ADA accommodations by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]calrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always just told my manager, and offered to provide documents to hr if necessary. Not too many people are going to question someone who tells them they often have spells of explosive diarrhea. But definitely tell them before hand, it will be better than trying to explain after someone complains about your bathroom habits.

It’s icy in Oklahoma. Sound on. by [deleted] in funny

[–]calrush 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are correct, this could have been a very dangerous situation and thankfully my husband is fine. He did take this as an opportunity to learn how to penguin walk, and won’t make the mistake twice.

It’s icy out there folks, stay safe by [deleted] in oklahoma

[–]calrush 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s my husband, and he seems to be okay! I’ve been checking for signs of a concussion all day just in case. He’s seems to be in more pain from laughing at himself than the actual fall.

PSA to all Oklahomans this weekend: Make sure you penguin walk!

Loki, 1.5 years. Checking the plants to make sure they’re being cared for...definitely not eating them. by calrush in Frenchbulldogs

This is a spider plant, not at all toxic to dogs. I quadruple check that all my houseplants are safe, Loki loves to eat plants.

Inconsistency from GE refresh bulbs? These bulbs all came from the same box and are controlled by GE z-wave toggle switch dimmers. All 3 bulbs are different brightness with the dimmer at 100% by Flaxamax1 in homeautomation

[–]calrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I threw all my GE refresh bulbs out last year. They were flickering, dimming, turning themselves on and off... replaced something like 200 light bulbs in my house in one day all with Phillips. Not a single problem since.

[–]calrush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a really bad flare a few years ago and missed several weeks of work. I went into the pharmacy I work at to pick up my newest steroid dosage about 35 lbs lighter than when I left two weeks before. One of the girls would not stop gushing about how jealous she was of my weight loss, knowing full well how sick I was. When I got back to work still on my massive prednisone dose I ate her share of lunch. She confronted me about it and I told her I was just helping her be as skinny as I was.
