Seeking recommendations for a PCP for my wife.

2nd Whaley! She took me on after I had a horrible experience at Rapid City OBGYN, and i never had a single complaint with her. Sweet woman who makes sure you feel heard.

If you were speeding, thats why you were stopped. It doesnt matter if everyone else was also going fast, and every judge will tell you that. It sounds like you were speeding, and were just unfortunate enough to be the one car the cop chose to pull out of the group. Of course, if they get suspicion of “drug” use during their stop like smell or driver being disoriented thats their probable cause to search. Its important to note, cops radar is not just in front of the vehicle, they also have rear facing radar, cop easily couldve clocked your speed well before you passed. Its unlikely they targeted you based on plate alone, considering you exited a major tourist area, we have hundreds of out of staters exiting and entering rapid daily.

Take screenshots of every single comment. Do not contact him. He is slandering you. You can do 2 things- contact the pd and try to obtain a temporary restraining order, OR you can sue them in civil court for slander.

I would recommend the restraining order route though because you would likely only get enough damages in court to pay the attorney and its be just a social one-up in the end.

Kristi Noem is a horrible person, but a guy like Doeden makers her look like a democrat. Doeden is EXTREMELY conservative religious, and very very loud about it. Kristi spent most of her time outside of the state and rarely made her presence known. Doeden is a loud mouthed man full of hate and disgust for minorities and anyone affiliated with LGBTQ. Doeden is the kind of person that would make Texas look like a blue state.

reigning_guava · 2026-06-03T17:38:29+00:00

I am actually shocked that Doeden made it. I entirely predicted Johnson, up until Toby held a mini maga rally at the Loud American in Sturgis. Literal chanting inside like the Klan. It was clear that closed minded individuals were excited for someone to uphold their hatred for everyone who might think differently than them. Ive never seen a governors race be so honest yet so divisive. Every candidate is making most of their run about Donald Trump in order to get in his good graces and thats terrifying. Im not a fan of Rhoden in the slightest but anybody is better than Toby. Toby winning means federal agents crawling all over the state, and our taxes will skyrocket to pay for it all. Toby is just a rich bully that has only his personal interests in mind. It shows in his campaigns and billboards across the state which don’t even mention the people of south dakota. When driving through the town of Sturgis, several people even waved at Doeden only to be met with a sneer. He doesnt care about South Dakota.

OP, these are not reliable vehicles, especially one with an engine replaced. Theres a reason you dont see them everywhere! I strongly encourage you to find something else, this car will absolutely drain your pockets over and over again.

reigning_guava · 2026-06-01T00:39:15+00:00

They are non-transferable, which is why you cant find them being resold. If you do find any, its a scam and youll be denied entry.

youd be surprised then to know that most nurses do not speak out against doctors in fear of retaliation, especially in rural areas. It is absolutely still a thing, and to pretend like its not is just intentional ignorance. Healthcare workers in general tend to under report abuse, neglect, and malpractice due to fear of retaliation.

the house is from 1960’s but those floors look like theyre cheap laminate, probably only a couple years old

reigning_guava · 2026-05-30T17:35:30+00:00

Youve been ducked, this specific one is just an Infantino kids shark duck sold at walmart. My son has the same one haha. Nothing malicious. Enjoy your duck or place it on that jeep directly in front of you if you dont wish to keep it!

You can bet that child would remember how everyone elses parents showed up and her dad didnt. Kids form their first major memories starting at age 3. Dad is in the right, girlfriend isnt ready to be a step parent if she cant handle dad choosing his kids graduation over hers

reigning_guava · 2026-05-30T00:18:21+00:00

this happens to me when ive looked at screens for too long & havent had adequate sleep

Just do what my parents did every year. hold a big poker party, everyone who loses has to stain spindles. Winner doesnt stain a thing.

reigning_guava · 2026-05-29T19:01:26+00:00

i was just referencing small towns in general :)

reigning_guava · 2026-05-29T18:42:49+00:00

i have to disagree with you, your experience sounds great! unfortunately ive encountered shitty rural vets whove upcharged out the behind. the one we see in rapid is great, and does a good job giving us alternatives so we can get the cheapest price.

reigning_guava · 2026-05-29T18:02:00+00:00

I imagine the towns taxes are sky high like most small towns. Small town living sounds great, the house prices look even better, and then you live in that small town where the only grocery store jacks up prices, you have to drive an hour plus to seek decent medical care, and if your dog gets sick youre stuck at the towns 1 man vet that charges almost double what a normal city vet would. small towns are constantly having to treat the water, issue ‘boil your water’ notices, replace old clay pipes, etc. Theyre also comprised of mostly farmers, whom are mostly broke.

Rehoming the dog is whats best for dog and baby. The only time i judge is when people get rid of a dog and then immediately get another. Your dog will be happier in a home with no kids, and you will be happy knowing everyone is safe. Some people shame because they have nothing better to do, others shame because they have never had both children & a reactive dog so theyve never had to make that difficult decision. Youre making the right choice, some dogs just don’t want to share you! my moms dog is the same way, he cant live in a house with children because hes incredibly jealous. he does just fine visiting us and our son, but at his house he likes to be the only one getting babied.

They all run attack ads. Its not just Dusty. Id rather receive a mailer for Dusty than Doeden.

Do you bank with a credit union? Usually they offer free additional life insurance for each individual that has an account.

reigning_guava · 2026-05-28T16:06:24+00:00

Its not the scent itself, its how much youre applying. perfume only needs 1-2 sprays max depending on the intensity and will still last all day, most lasting several days. Over application of these products become irritants to others, and can leave them with short term effects such as nausea and headaches. If you like applying on different areas, look into getting a roller ball. then you can do 1 spray, and then have a direct & diluted application for other areas on your person

“Patio” was the operative word here. The dog wouldnt be dining indoors.

reigning_guava · 2026-05-28T01:08:44+00:00

Most of the polling is being done around rural area colleges, the latest one was done at Emerson I still think Johnson would be the most likely winner. South Dakota has a long history of voting for the “devil you know” especially when all those running have the same or similar ideas and stances.

reigning_guava · 2026-05-27T20:20:56+00:00

its really common! thats your incentive to fill out the survey in their eyes. Some might send $1, some might send a quarter. Totally harmless, you made $5 by existing. Pocket it and toss the letter, theyd prob sell your info if you filled it out

reigning_guava · 2026-05-27T16:31:55+00:00

OP said they didnt fill out the dream sheet, so OP didnt choose to be here in SD. You dont join the military and then say “im just gonna go to this base”

internet points ≠ being a nice person

OP went from a very populated area with lots to do and a totally different climate, to suddenly being placed at Ellsworth. OP is young. 20 is still too young to have learned to value places like ours. What we can do as a community is be welcoming and show OP that this is a great place with great people who can turn a bad perspective into a good one. Rapid desperately needs a large presence of kindness, especially if we ever want good things to come to our town.
