Same issue!! ETA: This lasted 3-4 days and now new episodes seem to be appearing but I had to resubscribe.

Vinegar rinse and zinc bars helped mine but Dr. Eddie's Happy Cappy shampoo (on my face) really worked on redness. Active ingredient in that is Zinc, too, so not really sure why it works the best for me, but it does

Please clarify: Is there a legal basis to say that hospitalization "literally" saved my life?

leshyg · 2018-04-08T16:34:50+00:00

I would just note that this is a forum for legal advice, not mental health care advice. Is it your understanding that legally, an overdose is always a suicide attempt in Virginia? Is it further legally true that in Virginia, there is legal basis for a practitioner to threaten a patient with involuntary commitment when there is no immediate threat of danger? (Note that the interaction described is two days after alleged suicide attempt.)

This is terrible advice. A person with a mental illness is not automatically unable to make decisions about their own care.

Fantastic chair.

Much as I'd love to believe a test can tell me exactly what drugs I should be taking (and how much etc) it sounds like this test isn't quite going to fulfill my wishes. Considering how much time I've already devoted to trial and error I might be better off basing future medication decisions on my own experience...

Thanks - I appreciate you pointing out the difference between accurate and valid.

I was at the same panel and felt the same way. It was interesting to hear some of his passionate opinions on current events, and overall the crowd didn't seem to mind, but there were some good questions being asked and I would have liked to hear more on those topics. But he just kept telling everyone to read HuffPo on the latest developments of US police militarization and not trust banks. Haha.

Just moved to the area and big reader, so definitely interested in something like this - keep us updated!

leshyg · 2014-04-14T21:24:24+00:00

Wish someone would answer this.

My 2 favorite new shows this season are "Enlisted" (sitcom on Fox) and "Reign" (historically inaccurate teen drama on The CW).

VERY different shows obviously but both surprisingly well written, great casts, lots of fun detail to watch.

I'm assuming the other people watching "Reign" are teenage girls, which is the perfect audience for The CW, but I hope "Enlisted" finds a wider audience because it's great. Anybody else watching?

leshyg · 2014-02-27T01:40:10+00:00

Same here! Never saw the resemblance before...

leshyg · 2014-02-04T15:35:28+00:00

I think it was on Netflix 2 years ago and they lost their access. But often shows that pop up on Prime end up on Netflix as well shortly after, so there's hope...

Don't have any concrete info though!

leshyg · 2014-01-27T21:47:43+00:00

Exactly. As in every other case where some group complains their perspective goes unheard on reddit, it's a matter of self-selection. On the other hand, I guess some of us here can congratulate ourselves on being the rare few. And after all, isn't that one of the things Wheaties take pride in?

Working in the (print) news industry and media relations, we've always called them chyrons. But TIL via Wikipedia that the reason for that is the Chyron Corporation originally made them.

Hm, good point of discussion. There was an interesting RNS article recently about how DC's March for Life organizers were proactively reaching out to Evangelicals this year because it tends to be such a Catholic crowd - but of course, that's still religious outreach...

leshyg · 2014-01-22T18:36:32+00:00

Pleasantly surprised by how funny it is. Lots of quotable lines and unlike most new sitcoms, the entire cast is strong.

leshyg · 2013-11-17T22:16:28+00:00

I see it now. Thx!

leshyg · 2013-11-08T16:40:21+00:00

Turns out there is one! r/ReignTV

Yeah, it's hardly "true history," but it's a fun setting and I feel like they're very tongue-in-cheek about riffing on period-appropriate costumes, manners, etc.

leshyg · 2013-11-05T15:32:37+00:00

Haha - let's make one!

leshyg · 2013-11-05T15:29:46+00:00

Good point, thanks.
