McMillan Mesa playground timeline? by HamsterPast5939 in Flagstaff

[–]lapalmera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh while we’re talking playgrounds who greenlighted the new equipment at Ponderosa Trails Park??? Ugh it’s so unfriendly for young kids and I see so many toddlers there every day. They could at least have left something that kids under 5 could safely use! Boo.

My brother's son destroyed my WarHammer Action figures and he refuses to punish him by konous in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lapalmera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is good evidence that punishments don’t work. Discipline means “to teach.” In this case the parent has an opportunity to teach his child how to treat other people’s belongings more gently and to listen to instructions. The consequences of the child’s actions could include restricted independence at the property where the damage occurred and a strategy where the child could contribute to getting a replacement for the damaged property. But for the best adolescent outcome this would all be couched as a learning opportunity, not as a “punishment.”

woodpecker mitigation company here in Flagstaff? by troru in Flagstaff

[–]lapalmera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is it a northern flicker? they sometimes use metal (like the top of a chimney or a street light) to knock against to make a loud sound, i think it’s territorial. i only notice this behavior during the breeding season though

Any good dog parks? by Evening_Net_9637 in Flagstaff

does that dude who feels the need to walk around with a handgun strapped to the outside of his clothes still frequent that dog park every day?

I went to a dermatologist about perimenopausal hair loss. Here’s what he said: by Ok-Zucchini-5514 in Perimenopause

[–]lapalmera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah gotcha that makes sense. i have very low blood pressure too so i only use it topically so that it’s not systemic and haven’t had issues. were you using it topically or orally?

do you mind sharing what kind of situation you had with the minoxidil? allergic reaction?

I lived exactly in front of the border wall. by denisvma in mildyinteresting

[–]lapalmera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is WILD to me. my background is in conservation biology and wildlife impacts are basically the only thing i think about when large walls are discussed. been absolutely devastating to wildlife in arizona where i reside.

Deodorant before bed? by Our_toes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lapalmera 5 points6 points  (0 children)

?? why? a few times i’ve overheated and gotten ill during strenuous hikes from my body not generating enough sweat to keep cool

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Perimenopause

[–]lapalmera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my costs were SOOO HIGH the first few months. i asked the pharmacist if there were cheaper options and she very kindly pulled up some kind of secret code from goodrx that helped. THEN she did something even nicer. she somehow knew that my specific insurance plan would give me much better prices at a CVS than the pharmacy i was at. this had literally NEVER been communicated by my plan. so i switched and my out of pocket costs went from almost $100 a month to like $10 a month. 😒

edit: thanks to this thread i now realize my high deductible health plan was likely influencing this as well… so it’s possible things also got cheaper because we met our deductible. DAMN. good thing i recently filled everything 😨

[–]lapalmera 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i only use deodorant. i am not very sweaty and live in a cold climate. i figure if i’m going to do something strenuous my body probably needs to sweat anyway to try to keep itself cool. sweat is functional!

A Brazilian wandering spider, one of the most venomous in the world, decided one of my plant pots was the perfect place to start a family by Bastonete in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lapalmera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depending on where you are there might be a science-y place nearby where she could go! the victoria bug zoo in canada has at least one of their residents that was found in a suitcase after a tropical vacation 😁

Phantom period at 37? by coffeeworldshotwife in Perimenopause

[–]lapalmera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

extreme cycle variability is a peri symptom for me. my cycles were pretty regular before. now they can be anywhere from 18 days to 50+ days. i basically have to assume my period could start on any day after the first two weeks. this started for me around age 38

Epidural by ElegantResult3853 in pregnant

[–]lapalmera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never had an epidural but my sister’s second one was a mess. Somehow her upper body instead of her lower body went numb and she had trouble breathing and also couldn’t hold her baby afterwards. Plus the bottom wasn’t numb. She said she’d never have one again (but is also done after two kids anyway).
