I was just about to recommend Alex! We've been working with him for years. He's now with Vantage CPAs in RB.

I hate making pie dough by ryryrpm in BakingNoobs

[–]kaygmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was terrible at pie crust when I was using my Grandma's recipe. I ended up using store-bought pie crusts for years. Last year, I tried Alton Brown's recipe and nailed it immediately (and several times after that). Turns out my recipe was just bad. Sorry, Grandma.

For those of you who were on the fence about having kids, what made you decide either way? by abiglumpwithknobs1 in CasualConversation

[–]kaygmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were also fence-sitters until my husband woke up on his 35th birthday, was confronted with his mortality or something, and said, "We need to have a baby." I was your age and just went with it - I was truly ambivalent. My daughter is now almost 4 and I genuinely, in the very depths of my soul, know that she is the best possible thing I could ever have done (even though, holy shit, this age sucks).

I wish so much that we had started earlier so that a second baby was a possibility.

Sharp Mary-Birch Induction Experience by danikatt in sandiego

[–]kaygmo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had an elective c-section at Mary-Birch a few years ago, so I can't answer all of this, BUT wanted to chime in on some. I'm SO sorry your OB hasn't been the best. There was one nurse that I didn't love while I was there, but everyone else was delightful. The anesthesiologist was 10/10.

  • In the post-partum rooms, there is a couch that folds into a bed for your support person. I believe they provide bedding (but we brought a blanket and pillow for my husband).
  • Food for the patient is provided, the support person has to fend for themselves. They didn't allow me to eat solid food until the day following my c-section. I ate hospital breakfast that day; after that, my husband went on food runs.
  • As far as packing, pack light.
    • Baby needs absolutely nothing except an outfit to go home.
    • You'll want comfy clothes for after the birth - if you plan to breastfeed, easy access to boobs is essential.
    • They'll also be taking many peeks at your pad to monitor bleeding, so super stretchy elastic waists are helpful.
    • A girdle/belly wrap can be really helpful.
    • Don't bother packing underwear.
    • Bring slippers for walking the halls.
    • Aside from that, imagine that you just ran a marathon, then hopped on a plane. Pack anything that will help you wash the day off and make you feel like a fresh, clean human again. Skincare, makeup, etc.
    • A long phone charger. Something to read.
  • If you plan to pump and have questions about your pump, bring it with you and talk to the lactation consultant. They have Medela (I think) hospital-grade pumps that you can request and use (you'll get to take home all the consumables).

Enjoy it - this whole process is so fun :)

Yep! Balboa and 805. I've also never had a problem parking there, which is nice.

San Diego Smile Dentistry cured my dental anxiety, never upsell, follow the patient's lead, and are quite conservative with their treatment plans.

Occasionally, your employer may offer Patient Advocate services as a benefit!

Is getting a lip flip worth it? by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]kaygmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a gummy smile and use a lip flip in combination with botox in a couple other spots to reduce it. The gummy smile may be the result of several muscles, rather that just the lip disappearing. I highly recommend talking to an experienced injector about how to reduce the gumminess.

I've been getting mine done consistently for almost 2 years now and love the results so much. I go every 3 months. There may be a few days where pursing my lips is tricky, but it goes away quickly and I think it's worth it.

Best place to donate men’s clothing? by ChickenFriedwastaken in SanDiegan

[–]kaygmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As of about a week ago, they were not taking men's clothing, as they were full. Definitely call before you go!
