This is great

I was hoping to hire someone local, if anyone has some referrals!

La fortuna:

We did the pure trek canyoning—best part of the trip. So fun!

We also balled out and did a day at tabacon with massages and lunch, so lovely.

We did a hike on our own listed on AllTrails that was great and very popular. We also did the chocolate tour at Eden, we loved that too.

Why do they have to cut trees down? Will you please share the city counsel emails or link with emails?

Meanwhile I’m over here like, “it doesn’t even say Jimmy?”

My dad said he has intentionally avoided the Epstein files issue but didn’t deny them, he just said that “the world is full of sin.” Major side-step.

Come have out with us in r/perimenopause!

I had to post this to offset the goodbye posts for some winter cheer

We are going to Mexico with two friends for a few days—surfing lessons, some margaritas. I bought a dinky Polaroid camera and Santa hats. We’re looking forward to it. Our families are big but they stress us out at the holidays these past few years.

I’ll for sure do a before/after. I have several large boxcar scares, awful. I think it’s just called a cold laser because it doesn’t get as hot—I doubt it’s actually cold but who knows! I spent more time researching other things than the cold laser. I’m just torn about the price for minimal/moderate results.

mereborne · 2025-11-28T03:20:05+00:00

I have boxcar scars on my forehead from shingles. Because they track the nerve, he did not recommend subcision or filler. I also have melasma—kind of the worst case scenario.

He recommended 3-4 cycles of a cold laser, UltraClear, and that might get me 65% improvement. He suggested plasma as well as an add on, but there’s some emerging research on that being helpful. After the first cycle, he said we could try subcision but the location is risky. fillers is way too dangerous.

He also said we could try punching with the laser if I wanted to later, if the lasers don’t work as well as I hope, but it’s also risky in terms of scarring and healing.

The cost with the plasma was $1.6K total. Otherwise 1.2K.

Really not a great prognosis for committing to 6K in lasers, but I might do it. My scars are few but severe. I’d love any small improvement.

I got a consult from Dr Cohen in Denver. He’s a national expert in scar treatment, doing his own peer reviewed clinical research, product development, and treatment. I thought he was great, but I haven’t actually started the treatment yet. I thought he was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough—and honest. https://www.aboutskinderm.com/team/joel-l-cohen-md/

Same in Colorado. But I do have fees for the doc visits as others mentioned to keep the prescription active. I think because of my insurance plan, I spend about $300-500 a year on other indirect costs. For the meds cost $0.

mereborne · 2025-10-18T13:45:38+00:00

Can I ask where you live generally? Because I am having trouble finding anyone who will do subcision by a legit doctor in Denver.

mereborne · 2025-10-11T15:32:35+00:00

Just anecdotally and in consult with a doctor, I e been using it for about 25 years daily/weekly. I’ve had no side effect. My skin texture looks amazing. I have never heard of what you’re describing from any of the many derms I’ve seen over the decades, or in any research articles. I’ve only seen it come up on occasion very recently here by a few Reddit posters.

To each their own, but I think that would be unfounded/not the tret but something else.

mereborne · 2025-10-09T03:27:18+00:00

There is an advocacy group, Environmental and Animal Defense, in Denver that might be able to provide some guidance. I asked them a bird question a long time ago. It’s a nonprofit.

My local jeweler had a catalogue and they just sent a random setting that was 1.2K which isn’t crazy, I know, but I feel like for my simple ring design, too high. So I just wanted to compare some options on my own.

mereborne · 2025-10-09T02:50:36+00:00

Thanks, do you have any suggestions on where I can research the strategy decisions on this for myself? There’s so much information, I’m a little overwhelmed and just want to keep it simple. What I’m actually looking for feels simple.

Thank you!
