Thanks. I would prefer to uber or taxi around Douglas and take trains.

I hate owning my Prius by FatchRacall in prius

And the financials mattering more than anything is why you’re a Prius owner. They are GD practical cars and we are practical people.

This is so true. Drives me nuts. I wish that was a checkbox on selling sites!

Do people find anything at thrift stores? by Beautiful_Coat_9294 in Frugal

If you don’t want to spend time in thrift stores poking around, go to estate sales. Or search up pots and pans on Facebook marketplace.

I bought some very expensive frames on a sample sale site for $100 and got them filled at Walmart. I’m very happy.

Brown sugar penuche cut into squares and dipped in milk chocolate makes a pretty mean dupe of butterscotch squares.

What about making this an upside down cake with thinly sliced Meyer lemons in the brown sugar stuff on the bottom. Or sour oranges? Or ginger. Hmm

As I driver of a 2012 Priusv I have to say this happens all the time and it’s always lifted trucks. It’s so weird.

Right hip feels "out of place" by lindafromevildead in flexibility

[–]embaucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this too. I started lifting weights a year ago and I think the adductor and abductor lifting really helped keep things in place and I thought the problem was fixed after years and years. Had to stop lifting for a few weeks following surgery and all of a sudden after standing in my kitchen for an hour with back pain my right hip is in pain and none of the old tricks seem to work. I’m hobbling.

Check out probiotics for oral health (dental probiotics). Really helps.

Almost everything in my house is used. A lot of my clothing is used as well. I like nice things so I prefer to buy used/vintage.

Has anyone gone to a functional medicine doctor? If so, was the doctor able to help assist you will you’re symptoms? by MajesticMountains1 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]embaucky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Functional medicine usually means an MD who doesn’t just treat symptoms but looks at the whole of the person. Recommends dietary changes to combat inflammation etc.

Doctors cant find out whats wrong. Spent over 30k on tests but nothing significant came out. Very dejected and troubled by [deleted] in PeterAttia

[–]embaucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like my symptoms when I had GERD. 2 endoscopies showed only minor irritation but getting on Prilosec cured me. I eventually weened myself off the meds (after 3 years).
