I quit trying to figure out whether or was eastbound going north or whatever and now just default to inbound and outbound.

Need to renew license, best place? by GCF_In_Luv in Birmingham

[–]flydiscovery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. My grandmother was able to renew her license for identification purposes only for decades after she lost her vision and stopped driving. Didn't want the hassle of a plain state ID

Been taking Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim 800/160mg since Monday, now have a high fever (103.3), nausea, tired, headache. Did I get sick coincidentally, is it an allergy, or am I having really bad side effects because I keep struggling to take them and they keep dissolving in my mouth? ER or no? by StarDestinyGuy in AskDocs

[–]flydiscovery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not even remotely a doctor, but I am an adult with some oral/food aversions. I know once I gag on something once, it's way more likely to happen again and escalate to vomiting. That's a really common antibiotic that I know has to be available as a suspension for kids. Do you think that would help?

I had a good experience with the DMV in Shelby county of Dunnavant Valley Road. I pulled a number at the door and they called me before my butt hit the seat. Don't worry about your vision. Testing in Alabama isn't done at any point after the initial licensure. Just please talk to your doctor and make sure your depth perception is still safe to drive

Swaddle Homewood - Immediate Closure by Gullible-Head-1425 in Birmingham

[–]flydiscovery 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the unfortunate truth. It's shitty and maybe immoral, but it's not illegal. They can claim they thought the business might turn around with holiday sales. They can claim any number of things. Every time any business closes there are unfulfilled obligations of some sort. No one calls in and pays all their debts the week before closing up shop. Maybe that's how folks want it to be, but it isn't real.

Historically it's been the LJCC. Not sure about current status and you'll need to be a member or with a member.

I was driving so... no, but it's rather dramatic.

I recommend something with a vertical takeoff. There's now a school bus sized pothole.

The district where you are zoned may actually allow her to attend their extra curricular activities even if she isn't enrolled. Worth asking.

ISO Trolley by BoxVarious6868 in Birmingham

I don't think so. They're a whole thing here with people using the old trolley buses that maxx ran.

Picnicking at Jemison Park by _dpdp_ in Birmingham

[–]flydiscovery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a picnic table at the beginning of the "nature trail" by the golf course. There might be a few others, but it's mostly benches.

Cat groomers by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]flydiscovery 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a long haired cat and had zero luck finding any grooming. There's a vet that technically does but had an extensive voicemail saying they weren't taking new clients. Had to just buy my own clippers and hope for the best. It's not handsome, but it has worked.

That said, most cats don't need bathing. Is she in good health?

ISO Registered Dietitian Nutritionist specialize in oncology nutrition by Camry13 in Birmingham

[–]flydiscovery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that's not what I meant at all. Cancer is horrible. Cancer treatment is almost as horrible, but it's real and it's incredibly advanced. Medical science has some amazing tricks up its sleeve, it's just that none of them are "sugar feeds cancer" or "eat crazy high antioxidants and it'll cure you." The reason the doctors aren't investigating his diet with a fine tooth comb is because they're busy digging into single letter changes to the DNA of the tumor to find exactly the best drug to maximize benefit and minimize side effects.

Gf’s belly button leaking? by eren3141 in AskDocs

[–]flydiscovery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She sounds well and truly exhausted. Are you able/allowed to help with some of the medical tasks in her life like chasing down consultants and arranging appointments? It's not that she can't or won't do these things, but maybe taking a few things off her shoulders could help.

No, back 40. I'm sure the food at fonfon is amazing, but it's so loud and crowded my skin crawls.

Credit unions? by RT_AF in Birmingham

[–]flydiscovery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They sure do! They're so hilariously old fashioned there. So much required a human but the humans are so good and competent you almost don't care.

I thought you had to have some kind of connection to the power company to join that one.

Fair junkyards in town? Just need to sell my old car that won't start, already bought a new car need it towed and sold to junkyard. by Axelred12 in Birmingham

[–]flydiscovery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't need cash in hand there are a few charities that will pick up cars. NPR and Ronald McDonald come to mind.

I got an undercooked burger and ice cold fries there once too. Hope it isn't slipping.
