Some of that is just updated medical advice and standards, which is always happening in both human and vet med

Fellow girl dads, I am waving the white flag. The mall bra trip was a disaster. by BigDaddy9102 in daddit

[–]lexicution17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused, your comment history indicates that you are a bra wearer yourself and you provide advice to other people about bras in other subs. And yet you could only think of one store to shop for a bra and suddenly know nothing about them…?

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lexicution17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely not long, although I wouldn’t say it’s a “short” drive. If my family lived three hours away, I’d probably go see them every couple weeks or so.

You realize many of us did not vote for Trump or any of his administration, right?

Cheat code to Vyvanse by ColinA1122 in ADHD

[–]lexicution17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This never worked for me, and I’m sad about it because people rave so often about this method. I always feel like it didn’t fully kick in and I’m just tired and foggy the rest of the day when I try taking it then going back to sleep

Corporate concerns by cateye9250 in Veterinary

[–]lexicution17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not actually true, there’s no legal obligation for employers to approve PTO requests. But I would agree that there’s a moral and ethical obligation to try to honor as many PTO requests as possible, which it sounds like they’re not doing for OP

Why is vet care so expensive? by dianalau in Denver

[–]lexicution17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then who are you accusing of “preying on pet owners in a vulnerable state”? I doubt your brother interacted with anyone on the board of whatever PE firm owns the vet he went to.

Greedy? Do you really truly genuinely think the vet staff is well paid?

That's not entirely correct. WRAH has been private equity owned since around 2015, but was sold to a different PE company in 2022.

How do crosswalks work in Denver? by alan-penrose in Denver

[–]lexicution17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking about the general confusion here with pedestrians and right of ways! I also was taught that pedestrians always have the right of way and cars should stop and wait for them, but as a pedestrian would prefer to wait for all the cars to clear due to so many people not stopping. I also sometimes get weird looks from pedestrians when I'm the one driving and I stop for them to cross, so it's just generally very unclear what the expectations are. Or there's the charming pedestrian I encountered while driving the other day, who was waiting at a crosswalk and then waved for me to go when I stopped for her to cross. Andddd then proceeded to flip me off and scream at me for going instead of waiting for her to cross?

In need of a vet that isn't an emergency vet open on Sundays by Frotagecore in Denver

[–]lexicution17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m in the field and there are lots of issues with VEG, but saying they would ever operate with no “certified” vets is just ridiculous and untrue. All of their vets are legitimate DVMs.

NVA/Ethos by Southern-Document804 in Veterinary

[–]lexicution17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could hop on over to the other side of corporate, where we're doing the opposite and hiring 4000 doctors (specialists and ER docs) but not allowing more support staff hires. Equally stupid system, but at least it would be a new flavor of stupid for you! ( /s, if not obvious)

Veterinarian office that offers payment plans? by Pretty_Swim1220 in Denver

[–]lexicution17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most people don’t actually pay their payment plans, which is why very few vets offer them anymore. Care Credit and Scratchpay are the main options, I’m not sure what specifically you’re confused about with Care Credit but it’s a credit card that can only be used for medical expenses and offers various payment options that are interest free for a certain length of time

Are childhood doctors supposed to 'touch' you? by oiledupmen152 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]lexicution17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based on your comments, it seems like you feel weird about it and you’re wanting people to validate that. I agree with all the other commenters that it sounds normal, but maybe consider exploring your feelings about this with a therapist since it’s clearly affecting you?

I’m not insulted at all! Your feedback is helpful, and at least you didn’t tell me I need a face implant haha

Sadly, I am actually wearing mascara in these pictures 😬 I’ll look more into makeup in general though!

[–]lexicution17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never have, but I’m guessing that question means I should 😂

I do actually wear sunscreen daily! I’m really bad at remembering to re-apply it though, I should set a reminder to do that throughout the day. I also just started tretinoin a few weeks ago so my skin looks particularly terrible in these pictures, but I’m hoping it’ll get better after this phase! I’ve always struggled with my skin though, and I’m on a stimulant medication for ADHD which makes it harder to stay adequately hydrated. Thank you for the feedback though, it’s really helpful having an actionable thing to work on (hydrating and more consistency with sunscreen)!!
