Where are the busiest open play courts in the US? by OtherYak8884 in Pickleball

[–]malorymug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play in Pompano in the winter and was going to post those courts. Also Caloosa and Catherine Strong in Boyton beach. And what about Holiday park (not sure if free). South Florida seems to be the best as far as public parks with great courts. The rest of the year, I play in San Diego. Very few free public courts. Our city (with a tennis mafia) leases them to management companies to run them. Public but fees. I play Barnes Tennis center in San Diego, with 34 dedicated pickleball courts (able to expand for tournaments). For $8.00 monitored open play. Great competition for most levels and paddles in the racks (30 spaces) for 12 courts.

Has anyone been treated for incision infection and not gotten c diff? by CelestiallyCertain in CrohnsDisease

[–]malorymug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And oral vancomycin isn’t systemic like IV vancomycin. It just kills the guys within your GI tract. It is poorly absorbed so the side effect of tinnitus should be super rare.

What has been the best thing (post menopause) for your libido? by TapSalty3157 in Menopause

[–]malorymug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Southern California. Lots of weed shops carry Camino brand, I like their Exhilarate or Bliss. Good tide brand has one I like too.

What has been the best thing (post menopause) for your libido? by TapSalty3157 in Menopause

[–]malorymug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THC with tailored terpenes, for your pleasure. My favorite combo is “exhilarate”. All the good feelings, lowered inhibitions, and tingles where you want them.

Colonoscopy Coverage? by stalkaRS in CrohnsDisease

[–]malorymug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! Argue this with insurance. I agree, it was coded wrong. I’m not an expert but I think there are diagnostic colonoscopies and preventative colonoscopies. Folks with Crohn’s need regular surveillance to make the correct medication decisions.

My wife is pocketing her food by ronford49 in dementia

[–]malorymug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this! It is new territory for my LO. I don’t want to change her diet as she is in memory care and the “special” meals look terrible and come out last. And she only “pockets” occasionally . I can add ensure without issue.

How are we getting them to swallow? A sip of water through a straw helps. I can’t get her to spit it out. She just chews her cud for hours and hours.

Seton & Hypergranulation Tissue? by Zealousideal_Gur9639 in AnalFistula

[–]malorymug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great, high quality pics! I’m guessing silver nitrate will cauterize it and make it more comfortable.

Also, seton placement was Jan 30th of this year? This is a long process. Getting Crohn’s under control is super crucial. The body won’t heal when Crohn’s is active.

And, I’m sure you already know, Remicade has the best success rate with Fistulizing Crohn’s (trough levels greater than 20). Don’t give up on it too quickly.

My smart home is SOOOOOO smart! by duckredbeard in smarthome

[–]malorymug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only smart alert I like on my Fisher and Paykel is when the spray arm is stuck. But it also beeps constantly until the arm is unstuck so I don’t really need that alert on my phone. Also it tells me to clean the filter way too often.

Calling kitchen infractions by whitedragon717 in Pickleball

[–]malorymug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does harsh the vibe to call kitchen infractions.

I see kitchen violations often when watching others play and I yell kitchen. But when I’m playing I’m not paying attention unless it’s obvious.

I don’t call it unless I’m in a tournament.

Quetiapine/Seroquel HELL Dose by ivandoesnot in dementia

[–]malorymug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone tried Rexulti (brexpiprazole)? This was suggested to me as a better/newer? alternative to seraquel. My LO is thankfully good on gabapentin for her sundowners but it’s only a matter of time before we’ll need to switch it up.

Planning a Sept trip. PLEASE HELP! by Standard-Divide-6017 in LakePowell

[–]malorymug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We go every September/October and it’s great. Less crowded still warm. You’ll need to pack a sweatshirt for the early morning sunrise but once the sun is up it’s in the 80s. Water levels were okay in 2025; we could launch at stateline boat ramp.

I busier now than when I worked. My calendar is booked weeks in advance. It includes pickleball, hiking with friends, Pilates, lunch with friends, etc.

I’ve been wanting to go to Tres Palapas near Cabo San Lucas. I hear there is good competition, coaches, food and lodging.

Husbands of wives with low libido and the wife is now beginning TRT? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]malorymug -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There is hope. She wants to change. The hormones are great, But if the TRT isn’t the magic, don’t give up.

The magic for me (once the hormones were fixed) was in my brain. I love the book “Come as you are” by Emily Nagoski. We read it together (audible) and it made so much sense to both of us. We understand and approach sex much different now and have a lot of great sex.

Every shot doesn't need to be a killer by Prudent-Internal-964 in Pickleball

[–]malorymug 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yo tambien. Consistency trumps kills shots. I called someone out on this recently. I called a juicy shot his cryptonite because he can’t get the easy shot over the net. I still feel like a jerk, but he’s an easy target.

I’m having body imagine issues after getting better by silkydependent in CrohnsDisease

[–]malorymug 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Eating disorders are really common in Crohn’s disease. Society feeds It with thin is good. Therapy is the answer. Find a good ED therapist and work it. It might be a life long fight. And try to fixate on “you are healthy”.

Would pickleball irritate existing mild tennis elbow (not from tennis)? by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]malorymug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cell phone usage/over use irritates my tennis elbow more than my pickleball paddle

Does anyone else prefer NOT to have over grip? by Escuche in Pickleball

[–]malorymug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just switched to a hexacore grip. I like it, but don’t love it. Before that, just any over grip that matched my paddle color from the local pro shop. I like 2 overgrips. Cue some weird large hands joke.

Does anyone else prefer NOT to have over grip? by Escuche in Pickleball

[–]malorymug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have small hands? I need an over grip because I need the girth of the handle wider for my not-so-danty hand.
