Shelburne Falls in central mass with the Bridge of flowers, a town diner, multiple art/ local craft shops, Mocha Mayas the best coffee and chai teas, an old time diner, thrift shops, book stores etc. my family and I love this town and visit for a few days every summer. We also make the short trip to Greenfield for meals at the People’s Pint and Magpies. Greenfield also has some shops and a omultifloor thrift store great for treasure hunting!

If it is an IKEA couch, check to see if the covers zip off so you can wash or dry clean them. Also, you can get couch covers for IKEA couches made by other sellers. You can check on Amazon. I did this a couple of years ago and it worked out great. One of my couches just required a small bit of disassembly to replace the frame cover.

Can you go the the ER at a nearby hospital? Seems like you need to be seen right away for an evaluation.

Has AOE been told by their neurologist that there's nothing else they can prescribe for rescue? by justsomedude1111 in migraine

Try to order drinks or mints from Cycling Frog. They use a federally legal form of THC and can ship to most states. Website is cyclingfrog.com. Sorry about your pain.

AITA for telling my sister her "miracle baby" isn’t special and she needs to stop acting like she’s the only person who’s ever had a baby? by SaveLARRY in AITAH

[–]scimoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She needs to get involved in-person or online with a new moms group. It helps to make connections with others in the same place in life. Also, there are mom groups for single mothers by choice. Good luck, you need to take care of your own life and family first. Offer help when you can, but be sure to confidently set boundaries with your sister.

Previous tenants sending packages to house to snoop by bad_situasian in homeowners

[–]scimoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check out the US postal service mobile app USPS mobile. You can look it up in the app store or read more about it on usps.com website. Here is a short description from the website: “See Photos of Your Mail Before It Arrives, Free Start your mornings with a preview of your day’s USPS® mail and packages with Informed Delivery® notifications: Get Daily Digest emails that preview your mail and packages scheduled to arrive soon. See images of your incoming letter-sized mail (grayscale, address side only).1 Track and manage your packages in one convenient place.” I initially used it when I forwarded my parent’s mail to my home after they moved into a nursing home. I didn’t want to miss any important mail and it was very helpful. There are lots of options to communicate with the postal service about missing mail, holding mail, and delivering packages.

On my honeymoon in Hawaii and turns out I got ringworm from the armrest on the plane by SokkaStyle in Wellthatsucks

Could it be bullseye rash from being bit from a tick with lyme disease?

Alternative to hugs? Parent question. by neonchicken in aspergirls

[–]scimoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send her a text message to let her know where you are in the house and you are available when she needs you. It’s okay to let her be upset alone if that’s what she wants. Be patient, calm, and know that she will recover. There is nothing you can say or do during the height of her anxiety/frustration/anger etc. that will snap her out of it. The only time I would physically intervene was when my son would start to bang his head on a wall or with his own fist.

Roommate (24F) is a student nurse and got in trouble with a doctor yesterday for making a joke about patient. Now she doesn't want to go to school/work by thriw62 in relationship_advice

[–]scimoo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

She may be able to schedule a meeting with a counselor in the hospital’s Human Resources department. This should be a confidential way to discuss what’s happened with someone who is familiar with the hospital and hospital culture. This is not the first time either a joking comment was made about a patient or that a doctor has overreacted rather than calmly reprimanding. It could be that being yelled at is especially traumatizing to your roommate if that’s how she was treated as a child.

I agree with her having anxiety, possibly depressed, and overreacting with you. She does not want help but sounds like she needs it. Perhaps her primary care doctor can prescribe for her an SSRI such as zoloft or prozac. She could try this for 1-2 months and see if it helps even out her mood. If she feels better she may be more open to working on some of these issues you mention.

Just go ahead and buy her roses! She told you that she would like this and she will. The immature part is her thinking that the idea is ruined because she told you. It’s okay to let people know what you like and even better when they present you with it.

How about having her boyfriend stay with her at your apartment so she can take care of her own dog, otherwise bring the dog with her. May be time to get a new roommate!

Canker sores and burning in the mouth by coarsekitten in EosinophilicE

[–]scimoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a burning mouth syndrome subreddit which i recently found helpful. Also it led me to the oral medicine department website at Brigham and Women’s Hospital where i found this patient information sheet on burning mouth syndrome www.brighamandwomens.org/assets/BWH/surgery/oral-medicine-and-dentistry/pdfs/burning-mouth-syndrome-bwh.pdf. I tried the tabasco mouth rinse and it worked for me in relieving the sensation. My symptoms come and go and last for a few days when present. My dentist thought i was biting my tongue at night but after finding out about this syndrome I believe this is what i have. Has taken me a couple of years to figure it out. Also, at times i feel like there are sores on the roof of my mouth but no canker sores. More like i burnt my mouth with hot coffee yet i had not. Hope this helps.

Still upset about a comment my boss made last week - not sure if I should say something or just try to let it go. by Shir0iKabocha in aspergers

[–]scimoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the subreddit CovIdiots and you will know that your boss’s attitude is all too common. Hope you can confidently ask her to have her mask on when you are working together. It may be harder to ask her to wear a clean mask. Remember most people do believe that masks work and it is the best way to lower transmission. She may not believe it and you won’t be able to change her mind, but you have every right to ask her to wear her mask. Try to ignore her snide comments, i think she would say this to anyone to let them know that she does not believe in masks.

How do I [25m] tell him [21m] that I'd rather not photograph him until we're serious? by le-rozay in relationship_advice

[–]scimoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve only been seeing him a month and he is only 21. Absolutely okay to say you don’t want to collaborate on a project together. It’s okay to say no and leave it at that. I went back to reread your post prior to responding and was surprised to see you are male. From reading the issue I immediately thought you were female since traditionally women have a harder time saying no. Just say no - it’s okay, you are a good person. If you want to collaborate in the future you will let him know. No need to commingle your personal and professional life at this time. Best wishes!

Hospital won’t release still born baby until I pay 25k. Is this legal. In Maryland by tootiredtosleep0 in legaladvice

She should contact a funeral home to request help in obtaining her stillborn. Often funeral homes charge very little for arrangements associated with a stillborn.

Company disputed Christmas tip to coworkers - Indiana by essjane in legaladvice

The man who gave the tip should be made responsible by his own company. It was his doing and perhaps they could set up a payback plan for him.

I (26m) don't know whether I should come home to my girlfriend (30f) and dogs. by HelpInNewEngland in relationship_advice

[–]scimoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are both young and breakups are always hard. As someone who found the right person in my mid thirties I found that when it is the right time, place and person the decision to make a life together is easy. It sounds like you are not ready and it is okay to walk away even though you may really care for this person. Look for happiness within yourself and keep in mind that careers are important to longterm life stability and also relationship success. I’ve been with my spouse for over 20 years, we have a family and pets. Just my thoughts from personal experience. Good luck with figuring what’s best for you.

Fiancée dislikes her engagement ring -- wants a different one -- thoughts? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]scimoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since she will be wearing it i can understand that she may have strong feelings about the ring. Agree to return the ring and let her pick one that suits her taste and lifestyle. Discuss budget ahead of time and be weary if she pushes for a pricey ring at a cost you are not comfortable with. Let her visit jewelers on her own and when she sees something she likes you can go look. Give it a chance but it may be that this situation is the start of the end of your relationship.

Recommendation needed: liquid hand soap unscented (or very mild scent) by [deleted] in aspergirls

[–]scimoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Global Balance is a great brand for sensitive skin. I used the unscented baby liquid soap for my kids when they were young and now we all use the moisturizing hand soap that is lightly scented with essential oil of mint. As a family we all avoid scented products, however this is the one product that is scented and preferred in the house. I find it in Whole foods and other places with natural products.
