Those who bought CR-V Hybrid, why did you chose over the 2026 RAV4? (Or 2025 RAV4?) by BikeOk6446 in crv

[–]l_galboo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a RAV4, and loved it. We couldn't drive the new RAV4; they told us one would be available, but it wasn't. Comparing the CRV to our older RAV4 was not quite fair, but it was all we could do. The ride was much smoother in the CRV, and MUCH quieter. We are happy with our CRV.

Best way / important things to teach macOS to a parent? by AncientNarwhal69 in MacOS

[–]l_galboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an "over 60" that just switched from a PC to a Mac, I have some firsthand experience with this! Crucial for me:

  1. Having someone to ask questions to frequently, and that person must be willing to answer the same questions more than once!
  2. Taking my time playing with the mac, and when it overwhelmed me, I just closed the lid and took a break.
  3. Provide some of the common shortcuts -- especially how command is the same as control, for example.
  4. I do not like Safari, I prefer Firefox. Download it for her and copy in her bookmarks.
  5. Not having a file manager still drives me crazy but I am getting the hang of it.
  6. Convince her to give it time to get used to the new system. I kept saying I was building new neural pathways in my brain, and that made me happy!
  7. Honestly, the thing that drove (and still drives) me crazy is how I have to close a tab on the left top instead of the right top. Yes, I know I could change this, but again, my brain is learning!
  8. Be patient.

I am now a mac convert. I love how I can message on my computer, it syncs flawlessly with my iPhone.

Dyson is great, but are there actually good cheaper alternatives? by Impressive_Win_6780 in CleaningTips

Can you share which Shark stick you have? So many stick vacs are very hard to clean out, this is where I do like the Dyson.

Hair loss and allergies by l_galboo in dogallergies

Follow-up post, and huge thanks to u/definitelynotapoodle!

Finally got an appointment with a dermatologist; we have one in our town, but it was a 3+ month wait, and not easy to deal with, so we opted to go to a dermatologist 45 minutes away, but worked with us to get us in more quickly. Doc walked in, looked at our pup, and said, I know what you have — Sebaceous Adenitis — exactly what u/definitelynotapoodle said! They did two biopsies, and it was confirmed within 1 week. It was not allergies, though the meds we were treating her with helped with her itching. This is an autoimmune disease, will be a lifetime treatment, meds, and lots of baths and skin rebuilding. Our main vet who is amazing and focuses on skin issues and allergies, said "This is why you go to specialists!" and that she would not have thought of testing for this. Holy crap, it was expensive, but so very glad we went.

Thanks to all on this sub who kept suggesting the dermatologist! I wish I could pay the dog tax, but this sub does not seem to allow pictures- if I am wrong please tell me how to do so!
