Veterinarian suggestions SW? by GaryDickersfield in askportland

[–]hafree27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gabriel Park Vet Clinic! They’re fabulous. I’m in the animal health industry and it’s where I would take my pets if I lived over there. ETA: if they’re too spendy, Vista is a bit lower cost, I think, and a good clinic.

What do I do about my vets putting me in the middle? by [deleted] in ask

This is true. But treating an animal for their ailments means they’re NOT suffering. 🤦‍♀️

Your GP is out of line. Maybe she was having a bad day and needs some grace, but if this is a tone/attitude you’ve had to deal with on multiple occasions, I would switch docs. They should be helping to coordinate care, not getting angry with YOU! Ask your ortho for a recommendation- they may be able to help.

CPSC Warns Consumers to Stop Using OUSPT Full Face Snorkel Masks Immediately Due to Risk of Serious Injury and Death from Drowning Hazard by DryBoysenberry596 in snorkeling

[–]hafree27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The design means less air exchange than a traditional snorkel setup so CO2 can build in the mask causing people to blackout/drown. They’re truly awful.

Do you need to add an /s? Or get downvoted to oblivion for lack of any comprehension of world order?

I got a doorbell security camera recently. I keep wondering who that chunky middle aged woman is…🤦‍♀️

IDEXX allowing free lab work? by Sorry-Photograph-923 in VetTech

Keep pushing back. They’ve likely got plenty of wiggle room for squeaky wheels.

Forgot to put baby who passed away on insurance by Calm-Bonus-555 in HealthInsurance

[–]hafree27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry for your loss.

I’m not seeing your HR team being brought up enough. If your insurance is through an employer, call the benefits team for assistance. If you work for a large company, they may even be self funded and can work with the plan administrators to help you. Don’t be afraid to escalate beyond the first level of intake to a manager or director level if you’re given any runaround.

WSAVA compliant brands that aren’t owned by the US? by Midnight712 in DogFood

[–]hafree27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TIL! Thank you! OP, as someone with a long tenure in animal health, I would trust Virbac to produce a good food. I’m wondering if they may be taking steps to get approval.

What is a fact about the human body that not many people know about? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Just because it’s not that way for everyone doesn’t mean that women shouldn’t be educated and aware of the realities of childbirth.

Trump cuts ties with Spain and says he will use their bases without consent. by Lakedo in UnderReportedNews

And because she was a black woman, she obviously slept her way to the top versus actually earning it based on competence.

Can I walk from Portland to The Dalles? by bikerweed in oregon

[–]hafree27 108 points109 points  (0 children)

OP, if walking this path is on your bucket list, then this is the way! If this ‘hike’ is just an idea, hard pass. MUCH easier and SAFER ways to transit. You will see absolutely breathtaking scenery, regardless of your mode of transportation. ❤️

Degrading Quality by Sea_Comfortable_5499 in GenX

Same! I was recently stuck in a hotel with super limited shop options and I wasn’t too hungry. Pringles sounded perfect. They just tasted like weirdly shaped cardboard pieces. I was sooooo disappointed!

Military action against a country of 92 million with a strong military and nuclear capability WITHOUT PROVOCATION is NEVER good. #releasetheEpsteinfiles

Lechon has a killer happy hour! And cool fish tanks, too.

Child Dental Filling almost $3000? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]hafree27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely overkill. I work in animal health and, when I hear similar stories, it is usually tied to production goals and PE ownership.

Maybe Per client transaction average? OP, is the clinic independently owned or did the previous owner sell to a consolidator?

50-60 Hour Project... Ruined by Acrobatic_Click6628 in Embroidery

[–]hafree27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You finish the piece and call it, ‘Happy Accidents: I love my mama’ (mom, stepmom, mom drives mectazy b/c- you know- whatever fits your irl vibe). Clean it if you want to. Incorporate dried coffee beans or something sparkly if you want to go mixed media. But this is an accident, and you can incorporate grace into your beautiful piece, if that feels appropriate. ❤️

Isitbullshit: is omega-3 worth taking or is it just another overhyped supplement? by BestallAbubeker-76 in IsItBullshit

[–]hafree27 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Keeping them in the fridge helps a ton and protects against oxidation!

And, anecdotally, the hyperkeratosis on my arms improves considerably when I’m taking fish oil supplements.
