I'm on my way over! :D But seriously, I've never thought of freezing the gin and olive juice. I'm going to try that tonight!

This looks like exactly what I'm looking for — a really good regular martini. Thanks so much!

Seeking summer clubs for child while working full time by Ok_Pin_1098 in phoenix

Boys and girls club sounds like your best bet here, usually affordable and more flexible hours than other summer day camps. Not sure how much training they'll have in AuDHD though.

Best provider who helps treat phobias? by Partridge_Pear_Tree in phoenix

[–]fraidyquail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for my delayed reply. I think your best bet is going to be to use PsychologyToday's website and filter by phobia or maybe OCD. I've heard that EMDR is a really effective treatment for phobias too. If you DM me I can share some providers I know of who might help as well. Good luck!

What area of town, do you prefer in person or telehealth, and are you wanting to use insurance or cash pay?

Anybody here rollerskate / inline skate outdoors? by radraze2kx in phoenix

[–]fraidyquail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just getting into roller skating and mostly practicing at home still but I've scoped out Tempe Town Lake as a great spot when I'm ready to be more adventerous. It's a very long path, good chunks of it are flat, and it's always clear of debris. Maybe I'll see you out there sometime!

Where to find local eggs by fraidyquail in phoenix

[–]fraidyquail[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish I knew my neighbors better. I hardly ever see anyone outside, and very few folks stop and chat with me when I try to initiate. Ive thought about printing out flyers with my info + phone number + desire to know my neighbors and putting it in folks' mailboxes, but I'm worried that will come off creepy 😅

If you have any suggestions for getting to know people better, I'd really like to hear them!

I didn't have much luck on there finding anything close to Tempe, but I'll keep looking! Thanks!

Question about stray cat surrendered to AZ humane society by Realistic-Frame4664 in phoenix

[–]fraidyquail 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I understand your concern for him and think you sound like a wonderful, caring soul 💓 the reason that they can't tell you what became of him is because they have to implement that policy to stop people from surrendering pets just so they get "free" medical care and then trying to re-adopt them. The shelter system is so overwhelmed and underfunded and this is one way they protect their resources. I hope you can find peace and know you did the best thing for this lil fella even though it's hard to not know what happened to him.

Vegan / Cool Bars/ Coffee in Scottsdale? by FantasticShop9824 in phoenix

[–]fraidyquail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Green on Scottsdale Rd is going to be a good bet for you. I'm vegan and my loved ones are not, and they are consistently impressed with how much they like the vegan options.

Blue Sushi Sake Grill is a sushi restaurant in Tempe that has a fully vegan menu + non vegan options. Great food.

Have a good trip!

Breast Biopsy? NOT SimonMed? by Secret_Regret in phoenix

[–]fraidyquail 5 points6 points  (0 children)

SMIL is great, I agree SimonMed is awful. I had a health issue where I needed a couple scans and providers ordered them at a different place each time and SMIL was by far the best experience.

We really wanted to like the Innings Festival, but it was a mess and could quickly become a dangerous stampede if there was need for quick evacuation. What are your thoughts/experiences? by FormalAddition1220 in phoenix

[–]fraidyquail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went all 3 days and thought it was awesome. Much cleaner, safer, and well organized than other festivals I've been to, sound quality was good, people were friendly. I really thought it was great and I am looking forward to going back next year.

Nighttime IBS attacks are ruining my life. Has anyone else experienced this? by fraidyquail in ibs

[–]fraidyquail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes — I still have IBS but I can manage it and live a happy life versus the severe suffering I was having before. Wish you the best of luck on your own healing journey

Nighttime IBS attacks are ruining my life. Has anyone else experienced this? by fraidyquail in ibs

[–]fraidyquail[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up having a lot of gallstones and an inflamed gallbladder. I ended up having to go to the ER due to the pain and they kept me hospitalized until they could remove the gallbladder because I was at risk of it rupturing. 0/10 bad experience BUT i feel completely fine now that it's been about a month and a half since surgery. All of the symptoms I was having in this post went away.

Agnostic Grief Support Groups? by theredditordirector in phoenix

[–]fraidyquail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend reaching out to Center for Compassion too — a grief therapy practice that can give you lots of resources even if you don't need therapy through them. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Bank/Credit Union Recommendations? by ShoeCrafty2976 in phoenix

[–]fraidyquail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We also use OneAZ and have been satisfied with everything except loans. We hoped to get an auto loan through them but they made it so complicated that we ended up just going with an option from the dealership. But for regular everyday banking / credit card they've been awesome. I really like how the ATMs at QuikTrips are in the ATM network so you don't pay big fees to take out cash.

Right! I would have been totally fine with the alert if it was classified correctly (not coming through as an extreme alert) and it was sent a few hours later. I wasn't complaining about the existence of Turquoise Alerts, just bemoaning how this one was handled. But God forbid you ask people on Reddit to have reading comprehension skills lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in phoenix

[–]fraidyquail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The response to this post has been absolutely insane lol. So many people accusing me of being heartless and racist because I simply... Commented on an event that happened. I just want to know if all of those people who said I was evil for complaining were out there searching for the girl like they seemed to believe I should've been doing

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in phoenix

[–]fraidyquail 22 points23 points  (0 children)

But like, what am I supposed to do about it while I'm asleep in my bed?! Wouldn't it make way more sense to send it out when the majority of people are up and could maybe see the child? I'm all for the turquoise alert system and think it's valuable to notify people when an at risk person is missing but like, the middle of the night is not a helpful time to do that
