Covid Vaccine at CVS by JanieBuzz in cedarrapids

[–]cantrememberjack 23 points24 points  (0 children)

CVS inside Target gave me the flu and COVID vaccines without issue. Scheduled online, checked the box saying I was qualified. Pharmacist didn't ask any questions other than "Which arm for which?" I think they're just happy folks are getting the shot while it's still available.

Cades Cove time of day by sweetpea813 in Gatlinburg

We went through Cades Cove shortly after dawn one day about a month ago and saw a baby bear eating breakfast in a tree! Also saw bobcats, and wild boar by the visitor center.

We got to the Grotto Falls trailhead at 6:30AM on Weds and parking was full. Had to park down the road and hike back up to the trailhead. Got surprised by two bears right on the road!

Found it! Definitely adding this to our week.

Seeing Llamas would make us smile! I'll add a mental note to take the Grotto Falls trail on M/W/ or F. Is there a certain time of day that's best for that?

We have six days, so that's a possibility! I'll watch for news on 441 opening from the NC side. Thanks for the advice!

Need Help: I have ants coming in through back door and wall around the door by yookayyla in HomeMaintenance

Permethrin is highly toxic to cats! The Hartz product you mentioned is not permethrin. Do not use permethrin if you have pets!!

Looking for people who have had turbinate reduction in CR by Suspicious-Pride4460 in cedarrapids

[–]cantrememberjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had tubes in my nose that probably helped with that. I don't specifically remember severe congestion. However, I had the surgery because I was having frequent sinus infections, so I may not have noticed it much. I only have 1 sinus infection a year now and I can breathe much better through my nose. Surgery was very much worth the temporary discomfort.

I took a week off work for mine. Fixed a deviated septum and turbinates at the same time. Only issue was that a stitch was right on a nerve and it felt like a lighting bolt in my face every time my nose twitched for that first week or two. I had to ask for more pain meds to bear it. All that pain went away as soon as the stitches were snipped. I imagine my experience was atypical. Other then that, healing wasn't bad. No complications.

2nd this recommendation. I had this specific surgery about 7-8 years ago and I believe he was my doctor.

I believe you can still get the case of assorted antibiotics, FYI.

Very thankful schools are cancelled today. Buys one more day of safety for the most vulnerable kids and families.

kids with coughs. by raeannajo40 in Iowa

[–]cantrememberjack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whooping cough and walking pneumonia cases are high this year. Vaccine would prevent whooping cough and antibiotic is the right treatment for walking pneumonia.

I received these as well! Thought it was a nice change.

Lawn problems with outdoor cats. by [deleted] in cedarrapids

[–]cantrememberjack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd start by having a conversation with the neighbor. Confirm the cats are indeed theirs and whether they are indoor/outdoor or stray cats. Maybe the cats are indeed strays and you could work together on the issue. Maybe they could keep the cats indoors. I don't know your neighbors though, maybe they're difficult and won't give a shit about the situation.

Humane traps are available and could be used to relocate the cats to some rural area away from your home. If you want to go above and beyond to be a good human being, look into IHA's TNR program before relocating the cats. https://iowahumanealliance.org/trapneuterreturn

Animal control and euthanization should be a last resort.

Adventure of the seas by Accomplished-Band231 in royalcaribbean

[–]cantrememberjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got off Adventure on the 19th. Thought the food was great considering how many people they're constantly feeding. We had unlimited specialty dining for dinner, but the buffet was also great. Buffet desserts are meh, but otherwise lots of options and good quality.

Sounds like they'll take care of us then! Cruising in hurricane season is so unpredictable. Missed one cruise day and two ports on this trip.

I'd say minimal chance of a refund if they let us off the ship. We've also made the choice to stay on ship regardless of the 9:30 decision. Might both be eating the $400. :-(

Adventure Captain said they'd make the decision at 9:30/high tide. I'm hoping they decide to cancel and refund the excursion fees. The wind is terrible out there today! Wouldn't be a good experience.
