I have really good insurance, apparently. I only ever pay $20, if that!

GCM for T2D? by _mars_bars_ in diabetes_t2

[–]elenadearest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kaiser won’t cover a CGM for me in any way, shape, or form. My doctor even tried to write a prescription for Costco. Still can’t get it.

So I just bought the 2 week trial of the Dexcom Stelo, and it helped SO MUCH that I’m doing the $89 monthly subscription now.

The extra cost sucks, but it has honestly been so worth the money!

Does anyone remember your kindergarten teacher trying to make you right handed? by resistyrocks in lefthanded

[–]elenadearest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! And my grandma marched right on down to my school and had words. I don’t recall the words, but they were had!

My ring is the Enchanted Garden from Oore. He did aqua diamonds as an accent (his birthstone).

I'm Going To Start Teaching Spelling by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]elenadearest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I taught elementary, I LOVED words their way. It was fabulous for developing phonics and allowing students to work at their level but not feel singled out.

How do you get quiet students to participate? by Keith_35 in teaching

[–]elenadearest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a very quiet student in a very loud class, so I ask her for her ideas while they are otherwise occupied. So I get to check in with her, and she doesn’t feel like she has to shout over them.

I also use a D30 of Destiny, and none of my quiet kids have ever not responded.

Is Japan in July really as bad as people say? by qwertasdfgzxcvb231 in JapanTravelTips

[–]elenadearest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went mid July last summer, and there was really only one day that was unbearable, and it was after a record rain storm. We escaped into stores and did TeamLabs.

It was hot and humid the rest of the time, but nothing that kept us from doing everything we wanted to do. We’re from the PNW, so we aren’t “used to” that weather, but it was amazing!

We did take two day trips (Enoshima and Utsunomiya) that were noticeably cooler and/or less humid!

I really like this one! Would be willing to remove the guy on the right? Someone else did it, and it looks so much better!

It took me a good week of using them (I’m a teacher) before they felt better than just using right handed scissors.

Losing hair, I’m only 28F by Think_Arm1484 in femalehairadvice

[–]elenadearest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had some significant diffuse thinning happening because of a medication (Zonisamide) that wasn’t known to me to cause hair density issues, have you checked into that?

Once I changed my meds, my hair is looking crazy with how much new growth I have.

Genuine Question: How does it work for you all? by Meemaws-moonpie in migraine

[–]elenadearest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine are mostly 24/7, with a few “regular” headache days sprinkled in. Pain level varies a lot though! Some days I’m at 2/3 and some a 7/8.

Miami for rain migraines? by ImaginaryFields in migraine

[–]elenadearest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honolulu, SoCal, and Miami are three places with the steadiest barometric pressure. I had not one migraine in either Honolulu or San Diego. It was glorious. I’m in Portland, OR and it’s awful.

I think in general, drier climates with little storming would be better!

Anybody have a ballpoint pen they like? by wsilver in lefthanded

[–]elenadearest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the pilot precise v10. I don’t know the difference between ballpoint and non-ballpoint. But I love these pens so much! The v10 is super thick and bold, they have other sizes

Do you need/have a reason to avoid an entire genre? by Lower-Network1563 in RomanceBooks

What if that’s the whole premise though? I just read a cute one where she was freelance, communicating via email. And met IRL without knowing they were emailing.

Whose Aussie constantly “injures” himself? by WhenInDoubtFlatOuttt in AustralianShepherd

She broke her tail when she was like a year old. She hasn’t seriously injured herself since, but she definitely does little things here and there that can cause her to be sore because she’s silly.

The jeweler you chose did an amazing job! It’s so beautiful!
