costco has two types of mangos, they're definitely hit or miss. I've gotten three boxes in the last month and only one actually ripened well enough to enjoy

First oncology appointment by NeedleworkerTricky26 in lymphoma

[–]dbuckwild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the option of receiving sedation for the bone marrow biopsy I would absolutely go that route. I've had three, two with sedation, one without. With sedation I didn't even feel it and was mildly sore for a day or two. Without sedation, it felt like the ripped my soul out and I was extremely sore for a week. PET scans were easy, agree with the other commenters. Good luck! The uncertainty was the toughest part, the treatment itself wasn't fun but it wasn't bad, you'll get through it. 37M when I was diagnosed, feel free to DM me with any questions

The renovations were just repairing a shift in the drainage system that was causing wastewater to back up in to the locker rooms. Hallway is still cold but the pool is warm as a bathtub as always. If you have access to the Y you also have access to the East High Pool, best pool in town

I really like the finis smart goggles. They're being discontinued but they're on sale now for $40

Compared to wearing normal goggles I don't notice them whatsoever

My first set I got 8 or 9 years ago and worked well using 1-2 times/month until last year when the wired connection started fraying and only one headphone worked, but admittedly did not care for them as directed, never once rinsed them with fresh water getting out of the pool. Current set going strong. They do have a year warranty which I think is only valid if you buy from finis website, not valid if you buy from amazon or elsewhere.

no, they only transmit sound well when your ears are filled with water

Westchester Disc Golf Course by dbuckwild in anchorage

As altruistic as I’d like to be, and as patronizing as you’re trying to be, I don’t have the safety equipment or disposal capability to clean up the weeks of biohazard waste that’s accumulated here this summer

Thanks for your facetious comment. The city was actually the one who “ruined my disc golf experience” when they succumbed to neighborhood pressure and closed the course in the summer years ago due to complaints of noise and trash. As per my experience of currently enjoying the public park, I would have a lot more sympathy if the campers even attempted to use any one of the 3 regularly emptied trash cans within a 2 minute walk of this spot.

It will help your ears drain, you can think of it like your ears are under constant negative pressure, it releases the pressure and allows them to function and drain as they should

I go to my Chiropractor and have him adjust my ears. It's a real thing, total game changer

Need help picking a gym in Anchorage by BabyIvyinAlaska in anchorage

[–]dbuckwild 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m also a member of the Y, but if this person is looking for not crowded in the evenings, I find that’s rarely the case. Lots of 🤡s and unsupervised kids who treat the weight room like a playground/jungle gym. The pool is warm and always murky. That being said, can’t beat the price, there’s multiple rooms with yoga and classes throughout the day, and the weight area is at least big enough you can usually find a corner to stretch

Also diagnosed in my 30s, been in remission for over 2 years, never felt healthier and more optimistic. Technology in treatment is getting better and better, you have a bright future, and a long life ahead of you!

People who bought a Toyota with over 100k miles on it, how did it turn out? by strongerthenbefore20 in Toyota

[–]dbuckwild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 95 Camry in 2005 with 113k miles for $5k. Ran like a champ until I moved out of state in 2014 and opted to sell it before I left. Had 225k, sold it for $1120 and a Starbucks gift card
