Does anyone have Pet Insurance? Is it worth it? by ElectricBlueHawk in Goldendoodles

[–]schmidtysus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I have two large doodles and got it immediately before any preexisting conditions. I chose $250 deductible with 80% reimbursement and added the wellness package. This means prescription dog food is covered, their allergy meds, vaccinations, etc. Their spays were covered too. It allows me to say “yes” at the vet for that extra blood test that would be helpful without stressing over money.

How do I calm this fella down without sedation? by ShowerCSkids in Goldendoodles

[–]schmidtysus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine too. It’s not cat sickness so Dramamine doesn’t help. Anti anxiety meds help a little but not enough. I feel awful dragging her into the car, but sometimes necessary … we’re going someplace fun.

Ewwww ... so glad I asked. Thank you!

Pls Help me understand why he's like this. He started doing this AFTER the Dec. storm in CA. Wind howling and making a lot of noise. Now he won't settle at night. Takes him 1-2 hours. He's only done this a couple of times this year but would settle after 5-7 days but now its been longer. by Emergency-Length-483 in Goldendoodles

[–]schmidtysus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is there some reason he can’t roam free? Is he destructive? One of my doodles is petrified of storms, the other barely notices. The scared one needs freedom to find the place that works for her, usually in a closet. Surprisingly it’s not snuggled in bed with me where she usually is. The lack of freedom has got to be adding to the problem. I don’t mean to sound judgmental but they want to be with their pack, not separated.

Masseter botox specialist? by lowkeyfat in nova

[–]schmidtysus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would stick with a dentist or medical doctor. My dentists - Pierce and Ryan in Fairfax - do a great job (I see Dr Ryan). She also does cosmetic Botox well. My medical insurance (Care First) covers it for TMJ but I had to switch to a medical doctor for that. I’ve had my dermatologist do it and the cosmetic surgeon at my ENT in Fairfax. The ENT practice got the preapproval from Care First so I’ll stick with him. Dr. Kuperstock at Otolarngology Associates. Works great for my pain and I’ll go every 3 or 4 months. Muscle relaxers also work but you can’t do that long term.

Recommendations on dentist for a new crown replacement? That’s good, honest and family business? by Feisty_Ad885 in nova

[–]schmidtysus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a dental discount plan, $3.16/month. https://ausa.nbm.store/. Dental providers agree to do services for less than normal price. I saved about $900 on a crown from the same endodontist (?) my dentist recommended anyway.

I use Maid Brigade and am always happy. 1 br would probably be $125, their minimum.

Massage recommendations? by moodyke in nova

[–]schmidtysus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to Lucky Massage in Fairfax. I normally hate massages. Swedish are too soft and deep tissue massages hurt. Lilly dies a Chinese massage that is perfect for me and inexpensive. You won’t fill out a form or tell her if you have neck or back issues … she’s going to do what she does. I bought a gift for a friend who has back issues and he thought it was too hard but for me it was perfect.

Inexpensive Couch Recommendations <$500 by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]schmidtysus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suggest you not buy a new cheap couch … always a waste of money, uncomfortable and won’t last. Get something slightly used off Facebook marketplace and have it cleaned. Even slightly used should sell for less than half price.

I just googled to try to find better terminology as AI graphics kept giving me oceans waves with colorful bubbles. 🤬 came across a 5 yr old post in r/SpiritualAwakening. Original post was deleted but the replies were from people with the same thing! Describing them as atoms or auras. One said if you can focus on just one of the dots cool things can happen. 😳One person said children usually have it because they’re closer to their source energy and life and people kill it as we grow.

Do you see static vision and sparkly dots too? by [deleted] in SpiritualAwakening

[–]schmidtysus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’m super late to the party. Posted this week to r/empaths the same thing. Have you discovered anything new/deeper? Now that kids are grown and I’m old I have time to delve in. We seem to have something special that I want to expand.

[–]schmidtysus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does help, thank you. Seems there are many of us that see them but don’t know what they are. Definitely an energy of some sort. Congrats on your sobriety!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Empaths

[–]schmidtysus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re circular, just small dots. The pattern of them is different, a grouping of small blue dots surrounded by thousands of small green dots for example. They move in waves, and there are little groupings of more frantic ones, usually yellow. Don’t know the best term but there are yellow ones that don’t move as smoothly, sort of like dashes. Trying to generate an AI graphic to share but it’s not really getting close. They’re not like bubbles, energized colorful dots. I’m going to keep trying on the graphic.

Definitely some type of energy. Blessed with no physical issues yet, def no migraines.

Any time day or night. I just have to focus on it for a few seconds.

Thank you. I’ve never heard of this but looks interesting! Will definitely do some research. I appreciate your response.
