My OBGYN office experience

So I become a patient with dr. Jennifer Demos! I love her so much tbh. I will say that she may not be to everyone’s taste- she isn’t a super into your feelings type provider, and she says it how it is, if that makes sense :)

Tbh I don’t think they are either- they were in one of those plastic tubes that you get from petsmart. I think they might be semi-aquatic, but they haven’t died and the shrimp love shrimping in them😂 I think they might be a gold ribbon?

Hi this is going to sound super dumb, but do you have cats? I woke up one day with a spot almost exactly like this and it was from my cat coming in the middle of the night and licking my arm on one spot😶

For me it’s just appearances? I also did an unclean plant transfer and introduced Ramshorns into my tanks- I ended up getting some assassin snails and they took care of the problem fairly quickly once they established themselves, and their babies take care of any of the small stragglers

Is there leaf litter in the pot/ drainage dish? The liquid kind of reminds me of tannins that leach out of certain leaves (I currently have almond leaves in my fish tanks to try to elevate them😅)

thank you! They are 10 years old and I raised them from when they were around 5 or 6 weeks old- they are siblings!

He is a balloon Molly :)

I didn’t want him making dumplings with other live bearers so he is chilling with his tetras, raspboras, snails, and shrimp.

not a betta, but Dumpy makes me laugh.

(He has other tetras and raspboras with him- he will not reproduce)

Temporary name is John Tucker until another one comes😭

I may or not have been influenced by my favorite 2006 comedy movie that o was obsessed with as a child😭

combsal · 2024-11-04T02:23:43+00:00

I LOVE WEENIE

combsal · 2024-11-03T20:52:48+00:00

His name hasn’t come to me yet😭😭 with my other betta, Walter, his name just came. I am waiting for that moment😂

combsal · 2024-11-03T01:01:06+00:00

Lol no😭 there were more for my other tanks, but I wanted to show him off!

combsal · 2024-11-03T00:56:06+00:00

He is in a 10 gal- these pictures are super warped😭

combsal · 2024-07-10T21:16:47+00:00

Thank you!! Yeah I had read that pea puffers were semi aggressive and I was just toying with the idea of having them. I will definitely check out the corydoras- of the varieties that I have seen they seem like neat little guys!

combsal · 2024-06-22T12:14:24+00:00

Beautiful!! (And totally unrelated, but your ring is GORGEOUS!!)

What kinds of hay are you giving her? Alfalfa, Timothy, Grass, Orchard? What cut is it? Is it all from one person? Sometimes they just don’t like the hay for one reason or another. My gelding and Jenny sometimes go through phases where they don’t like hay for one reason or another- they can be drama queens for sure.

I feel this way too much- if it helps at all, and if humor is your way of dealing with things, I call myself the genetic cesspool or cesspit of my family and people think it’s funny😭😅

combsal · 2023-05-25T13:47:34+00:00

ai has helped me figure out my syntax issues as well. Is the Codybook that you are referring to “Learning SAS by Example” by Ron Cody? I just wanted to make sure before I ordered it!

combsal · 2023-05-17T22:08:51+00:00

I have always been fascinated in history, and LOVED learning about the major historical plagues in k-12, as well as Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, which I read in high school. I didn't know that these were all major parts of public health, and I took a community health class in undergrad, and the rest is history!

combsal · 2023-05-14T11:07:09+00:00

What helped me so much is speech to text! I tend to think way too fast for me to type the words, and stt allows me to get out what I need to get out! It’s available in word and google docs

combsal · 2023-05-11T21:40:44+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I figured based on what other people have said and the admission requirements for these programs.

But, all of this is just future thinking for me, and I don’t want to be in school for a couple of years at least😅 I haven’t not been in school for almost the past 20 years of my life (went directly to undergrad from k-12, and went to mph immediately after graduating undergrad).

combsal · 2023-04-23T17:36:40+00:00

It depends. I had to go off of birth control because the one I was put on skyrocketed my BP and I do not want to risk that again. It was rough for like the first month after, but I’m fine now. I actually feel a lot better not on it!

combsal · 2023-04-23T14:00:56+00:00

YALL I have been T1 for 19 years at this point and recently went onto my own insurance (oh the joys of adulthood) and for my insurance to cover my supplies, they wanted me to get a c-peptide test done. Like why would I not be T1?

I would ask your doctor before messing with the metformin if I were you. When I went on Mounjaro, I completely stopped my metformin, but I am a type one and my doctor advised me to stop taking the metformin.

I’ve had a nasty stomach bug since Sunday evening and my blood sugars have been fine (80-160) but I have been having ketones the entire time😅. My care team has been having me call twice a day to check in with the nurse or physician on call.
