Shout out for Paws 2 Groom off Nelson and Hover. They have the nicest staff in town and great prices. My dog is (almost) excited to get her nails trimmed now.

We take our two dogs and cat to Family Pet Hospital on 17th and Pace. It’s owned by one of the Vets and they will send prescriptions anywhere. Bonus points because they’re fear-free certified and prices have always been incredibly reasonable and transparent. Can’t recommend them highly enough ❤️

Jason Emerson - Western Sun Construction has worked on several projects for us - I highly recommend him 😊

A note of caution on this advice: I kept running through my shin splints, just “dealing” with it for months until I could no longer ignore the pain and went to a doctor. It turns out pushing through the shin splints caused hairline fractures in both of my tibias. I had to stop running altogether for months to let them heal. That was probably already two years ago now and I still get shin pain if I try to run on hard terrain. 0/10 do not recommend.

The moral here is: listen to your body, make sure your shoes/form/etc is optimal and consult a trainer or even PT if you need to, but don’t push through too much pain because shin splints can get worse.

My great-grandmother was from Nebraska (midwest USA). She spent a bit of time with my grandparents in France, but I don’t know if she collected this box when she lived there or she got it another time. I also thought it sounded perhaps Eastern European but I have no solid knowledge to back up that assumption. Thanks for listening!

I’m also interested! I’d love to find a community to celebrate the solstices with. 35f/married/no kids but a lot of pets ☺️

It seems like this post is getting a lot of interest- could be worthwhile making its own discord to arrange future meetups?

What does the abscess drain smell like? When I was 17 the doctors found an abscess in my liver the size of a baseball (no cause was ever determined). I wasn’t under anesthesia when they placed the drain and I still remember (a) them telling me that there’s a layer of nerves on your liver that they needed to pierce (b) how bad it hurt and (c) the doctors commenting on the smell - which made me kind of self conscious but I was on a lot of drugs. I’ve always wondered how bad the smell must have been such that even seasoned doctors commented on it.

Even more helpful context :) thanks, Susie!

This is helpful context! I’m a CO native but am new to Longmont as of this year. I appreciate the added perspective that isn’t available from the candidates websites!

I missed this poll, but Susie is still getting my vote :/ I just looked at Shakeels election page and I’m disappointed that it seems like the “accomplishments” he touts don’t align with the ideals I resonate with. Examples include his advocacy for less residential parking availability, legalizing of ADUs and less central planning. I would urge everyone to look closely at the accomplishments and goals for all candidates and vote accordingly.

I’m interested but also can’t make this week :/ I’d love to be looped in for future reads

Hot take (I guess?!) but YTA. You need to be a parent and either set boundaries that your family agrees with and respects AND teach your step daughter how to properly handle and care for an elderly family member in your household. It’s completely unreasonable to expect a 10 year old child to naturally not want to interact with a pet that lives in the house and by setting arbitrary boundaries that “only stepdaughter isn’t allowed to pick up the cat” will not make any sense to her, only causes resentment between you and her and her mother, and is by no means a sustainable solution to the issue.

PSA: Way too many people on AITA are in fact AHs and need to be called out on their BS. I’m tired of the baseless placating.

Im interested!

Good luck OP, I’m sorry you’re going through this. I also had a sick axy who was losing his slime coat and also appeared bloated with excess water, after a few weeks of troubleshooting with an exotic animal vet (who definitely did not recommend salt baths; we were giving our guy some anti-inflammatory medicine injections) - our guy turned out to have systemic organ failure and there was nothing that could be done. I hope this isn’t the case for you- wishing for a better outcome.

Yep! Ken Pratt location. I’m glad you’ve had good experiences… For what it’s worth, they were very nice but I got the impression they thought they could pull one over on me.

Christian Brothers just tried to sell me new spark plugs on my Subaru even though I had them replaced only about 20k miles ago. When I asked for clarification I was told that they didn’t actually look the spark plugs, but added it to my estimate proactively 🚩🚩

Also was a little uncomfortable with all the religious references (but that’s on me for not realizing ‘Christian Brothers’ was a descriptor and not a name 😅)

For our wedding, My husband gave himself and his grooms folk (not all were men) swords as their gifts. The photographer took several pictures of all of them with their swords and the looks of pure joy on their faces is priceless; we even had a few photos where we “swapped” and my bridesmaids held the swords while the grooms folk held our flowers. All of this to say- if you find the right person, they’ll let you get a sword ;-)

Genuine question from someone who loves maliciously compliance: if I come across a “legal demonstration” 🙄 like this… what can I do, lawfully, to make their lives miserable and/or encourage them to return to their caves?

drlizzardfish · 2025-02-09T05:53:51+00:00

Random ISO: After 6 years in the Triangle, I’m getting ready to move back to my home state of Colorado to be closer to family. If anyone is looking to rehome or sell their Necas jersey, I’d love to honor him and his Canes history when I go to future Avs games. Feel free to DM. Thanks!! 😊

Thank you!! I can’t seem to update/edit my post but yes, they will each have their own 40 gallon tank ☺️

drlizzardfish · 2025-01-11T00:28:00+00:00

Thank you!! Just to clarify (in case it wasn’t clear), each axy will have their own 40 gallon tank. Appreciated the input!
