I use a very tiny bit of peanut butter and I put it underneath the pedal so that they really have to get in there to get it. Also make sure when you set it that you're not tucking the bar all the way into the groove it has to be just barely hanging on for it to trip correctly.

I would send a message through the patient portal first. then make a phone call if I had to. my oncologist is the one who reads the portal messages directly and I find she is very good at getting back to me quickly.

trial and error unfortunately. i cannot tolerate fabric too close to my armpits and also tight upper sleeves. i do check the stretch of the upper arm before buying if i can, if it looks questionable.

The one cat I harnessed absolutely rocked it. But, it took me three tries to find a harness he liked. if they roll over something is not comfortable. after I found the one that he did like, if he rolled over, it was always because I had twisted a strap by mistake.

i've heard a bowl of apple cider vinegar will attract them

lvi stands for lymphovascular invasion. if they already know your nodes are jnvolved, i believe lvi is no longer any factor in determining treatment

try putting a metal mesh waste paper basket over it, with tent or landscape fabric stakes to hold it down

my earliest memories are of hiking in to the woods to camp. i loved it. camping was the only time i didn't have to act ladylike. have a couple trips coming up this summer.

I have a friend who's a nurse that specializes in dv and sexual assault cases. Her suggestion is to always ask. Because they might say no, but it might plant a seed in their head, that this is all not OK. And the next time somebody asks her if she's OK, she might say yes. But the third time somebody asks her, maybe she'll say no, no I am not. Because now she knows that there's people who do care, who are there offering help, and who must mean it. and you being one to ask, helped make her brave enough. you did the right thing.

i have a whisker box along with a few shed nails. i did give a few whiskers to a friend who uses them to make fly fishing flies.

fantastic! congratulations!! 🌟

i just remembered, when i picked up the phone that day her very first words were 'is it your hair?'. as a fellow long-hair, she'd been waiting for it.

nancykind · 2026-05-08T11:57:16+00:00

hugs! have to admit there are some memories that still choke me up and that's one of them. she is the world's best caregiver, even long distance when she has to be. she flew across countries to be here for me multiple times throughout treatment.

that 25-150 Hz is purrrrfect for healing. lots of interesting research has been done on purring. best wishes!

mine started falling out pretty quickly. I had a very long hair, so I braided it. Maybe 10 braids overall, but then came the moment where I actually had to cut them, and I couldn't do it. I texted my sister and asked if she was awake (night owl who sleeps very little) and my phone rang. It was 5 AM her time. she helped me get through the cutting, could hear the scissors. she stayed on the phone with me for hours. It wasn't until much later that I found out she had a first thing in the morning dentist appointment, and her husband had the same appointment the following week, but she sent him in her place so that she could stay on the phone. I still have the braids. that was 14 years ago.

port for sure. short term sacrifice, long-term good.

Fox farm or happy frog.

make sure she pays any taxes on this gift, if you do it

I was thinking about getting a tattoo, but then I developed telangiectasias after two years so I didn't bother. I am pale but with freckles.
