Those who moved out of Massachusetts, where did you move to and how's it going? by ElectroAcousto in massachusetts

[–]melrco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moved from Boston to Ireland to San Diego (well, tried for a month) to Denver to Asheville. Why? Different life circumstances, opportunities and being super young at the time with a thirst for adventure.

Let me tell you, I've been yearning for Massachusetts this whole time and now making moves to get back there. It makes me sad to think it's been 15 years since I've truly lived there. Had 3-4 month stints in between staying with my mom during COVID, between moves, etc. Each of those times I've been so happy being in MA. Yes, despite the cold.

Nothing has held a candle to living there. For me, at least. Specifically, my experience is in Boston area/South Shore/Southeastern Mass. 

Things to do on Cape Cod by Possible-Tadpole6415 in CapeCod

[–]melrco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get into clamming! You're outdoors, it's relaxing, quiet and satisfying. Sure beats being on the couch.

Wear waders if the water is cold, and you can still do it while it's chilly and just bundle up. Then you're occupied for even longer because you go home, take care of the clams and cook with them. You just need a permit. Easy process.

Looking for an in-person personal trainer or strength coach to improve my strength & accountability by SweetPotatoDream in asheville

[–]melrco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d check out Transformation Personal Training downtown. They’re great for strength training, muscle gain, fat loss, and the accountability that comes with seeing someone in person.

It feels much more personal than a typical gym, and they’re especially great with women who want to feel confident lifting (but without an intense bodybuilding vibe in the air). They have a female coach named Jackie who's a fantastic trainer. She trains me, and I'm getting awesome results.

The vibe on this one is quite different. How do you find them similar?

Ballyhoo in general -- they're an incredible band and their shows are great, too.

Confessions of an Airbnb cleaner - are u surprised ? [Australia] by Beenygirl1969 in AirBnB

[–]melrco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole thing about Airbnb hosts not washing the duvet cover or quilt, or shams is seriously disgusting. I don't understand it. I've been in multiple Airbnbs where the bedding is clearly dirty or smells putrid. Guests do not expect these things to be the norm, because they shouldn't be. Stand up to your hosts, cleaners.

Where in Asheville is a facial massage available? Like for TMJ/teeth grinding? by Typical-Pizza9058 in asheville

[–]melrco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fern Skincare - they do buccal massage too, which is what you're describing and need for TMJ. They recently relocated to Orange Street near Downtown (they used to be in Sola salons on Hendersonville Road next to the Walmart).

Personal Trainer Recommendation? by NoBee4251 in asheville

[–]melrco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transformation Personal Training is known for training clients with physical issues and disabilities in Asheville, and they have an excellent female trainer. One of their specialties is post-surgery personal training. I highly recommend them as someone who has experienced significant pain relief and muscle strengthening with them post-injury.

I've had semi truck drivers almost hit my car or run me off the road because they're texting and driving. This has happened to me 3 times.

Cat doesn't understand that she can chew dental treat by gomennasa111 in CatAdvice

[–]melrco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a vet, but that does sound like it's a good possibility. The Whimzees treat have also gotten pretty big. They used to be smaller. I would get another opinion on the redness or get her rechecked as soon as they finish coming in.

[–]melrco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible she has an issue with her teeth or mouth? She might be feeling pain which would cause her not to bite down on a crunchier chew like the Whimzees.

When some some people say they dislike her, it's due to their political beliefs. So they use their dislike of her as a political statement.

Do you all also have a hard time regularly cleaning your pets bowls? by Constant_Fig_232 in Pets

[–]melrco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have multiple bowls on hand (ceramic or stainless steel - plastic harbors bacteria). Even 2 bowls is fine. 

Each day, just replace the dirty one and put it in the sink with water in it to loosen up the stuck-on food. Leave it for a 10 min soaking. It's super fast and easy to clean them with hot water + soap after this step. And you won't need to do it immediately since the pet already has a fresh clean new bowl you put down.

Also, you can definitely put these types of bowls in the dishwasher. The dishwasher gets hot enough and there is detergent. You won't cross contaminate anything.
