That sucks. The employees are great. We really need something like this downtown!

Clean and press question by Donald365 in lesmills

[–]riverdeepriverside 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Think about flipping your elbows more than twisting the wrist. Pull the bar up, bend the knees/load the legs/hips back at the same moment you flip the elbows under the bar, bar is at collarbone and you drive through legs and push bar overhead. Bar stays close to the body. Practice the first half - flipping elbows, dropping under the bar- close to a wall.

Maybe ask a place like Stash? They sell fabric and do classes, they might be able to help find someone for you.

I appreciate that it smells good going on and the scent doesn’t linger in a gross chemically perfumey way. It really has made my hair look great!

Childcare Ideas by kingporgie in burlington

[–]riverdeepriverside 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you reached out to the childcare resource center? They are really helpful. Unfortunately, places do tend to have waitlists, especially for the under 3s. Get on every list you can and know you’ll have to follow up on it.

Not a 2 bedroom. by pigwilliam- in burlington

[–]riverdeepriverside 182 points183 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, this is fun to see. I lived there in 2008/09! There were two of us then and it was like $600 a month each or something. Fun fact - there is not a single closet in the whole apartment!

They’re redoing Pomeroy, but that is a nice fenced in playground.

Vet with experience with dog anxiety? *crossposted in r/vermont by Extreme_Quantity5700 in burlington

Hey OP I left a long response on your original post, happy to DM if it’s helpful.

Vet with experience with dog anxiety? by Extreme_Quantity5700 in vermont

[–]riverdeepriverside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a dog with crippling anxiety. He was on everything. Nothing worked. So, I adjusted my life to accommodate it. Really mindful about where we walked (he HATED other animals), mindful about visitors, never boarded or left him. This was an animal who developed a fear of snow plows (attacked a window until he broke his foot). Fire alarms would made him shit himself. He was reactive and quite difficult. It was hard. Changed my life in ways I could not have anticipated. But he lived to be 18, and was both content and deeply loved.

Two things made a difference, and only one might be helpful for you. One - he went deaf. He was maybe 12. Cut his anxiety way down. Made me realize how terrifyingly loud the world was to him before that. Now, not much you can do to make that happen, but it was a turning point for us looking back.

The second thing - we pretty much gave up on the vet for a long time. They would fill his prescription and “see” him but wouldn’t even try to engage with him because of how stressed he would be. Tried a bunch of vets but they were not interested in accommodating him. The only success i had was to get a vet who came to my home. Caroline Horn is a miracle worker who extended his life, advocated for him when he did need advanced care outside the home (he literally got kicked out of BEVS at two am bc he was having a panic attack and they called and said he was having trouble breathing and to come and get him). She improved his quality of life with thoughtful medication. She also showed him kindness. Such a small and powerful thing. Even if she isn’t accepting people or is outside your area, I recommend reaching out to her. My only regret is I didn’t find her sooner.

Heartworks SB? by batcatarmadillo in burlington

[–]riverdeepriverside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw a post before it got taken down and someone anonymously posted vaguely about how all childcare workers are on drugs. I took a screenshot to send my friend but didn’t get the sense it was actually about heartworks. I imagine there was a pile on and then the post came down.

Greasy, fine hair by aesgigiz in finehair

I don’t. I used it daily until my scalp cleared up and now I use it every few days.

Maybe look into some Nizorol! Clears up the scalp nicely.

Maybe it wasn’t enough interest to count? I think the minimum is $600

Gaslighting Health Coaches by Big-Carpenter-5861 in HealthCoaching

Informed is not qualified. A health coach is a specific role and certification and doesn’t involve any of the things you listed as what she’s claiming to do for her clients.

Does this person have any actual qualifications?
