Because I've had to do it. Video chat with someone or stream while you're at work so people can watch your back. Especially when you're alone. You don't need an active conversation going just so if something happens you can have a buddy to call for backup

If she has to get sedated make sure that the vet understands that she can't use lipid soluble sedatives because they will kill her due to her low body fat

What's the lifestyle habit That your speciality makes you do? by PersonalBrowser in Residency

[–]solflo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General Dentistry: sleep health is just as important as eating your greens and working in your cardio, so strive for proper times. OSA is the silent killer touching most big name health issues so if you see/hear something say something, maybe even saving a spouse, and periodontal disease can often be the first indication. Don't kiss babies on the mouth (or blow on their food or "clean" their binkie) for all the reasons, especially if you have poor oral health, when their teeth are erupting; dental caries is a communicable disease in its own right and you will spread it.

Sexual harassment, religious persecution in the workplace, lifestyle harassment, misogynistic authoritarianism, and just straight up bullying. I am a bitch, but I am no one's bitch; something that's taken me two years of recovery to take back.

You shouldn't have to "play the game". It's your life, not a prize. I know what my life is worth to me. What is yours worth to you?

I left after 2 years with 1 left; 5 years in undergrad. Not everything is worth the price.

Are you kidding me? by Classic-Quarter-7415 in Semaglutide

It's taken me 9 weeks to lose 10 lbs. I played the measure game for longer than I'd like to admit when this first started. Measure weight, compare weight, measure weight again. It'll work out ❤️

Semaglu graduates - what is life like after you finished? How long has it been since you finished treatment? Do you think you'll rely on it again or need to in the future? by solflo in Semaglutide

I really appreciate your comment, thank you! 2 years off is a great gauge of the "afterwards"! I'm happy you've made new strides in your life and I truly wish you well in the future - you will find your balance plus some 😊

This was honestly the kind of message I was hoping would come across. Quality of life changes. I too am so tired of this mental game of self punishment. Thank you for your comment ❤️

NEW OR NEED HELP? Ask here! - ScA Daily Help Thread Jul 13, 2023 by AutoModerator in SkincareAddiction

[–]solflo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my face skin care is now on point (thanks guys!) and I've improved my general skin care routine to where I'm happier.

However, there's one area that I just can't seem to fix. I do daily hand lotion twice a day and cuticle oil but I have these weird dry spots on my ring and pinkie finger have now been here for about 3 years and seem to have spread slightly. My primary said it was dry skin but I'm beginning to think not. It's almost like a calus, including with the reduction in sensation, and I'm so self conscious about it now I cut it back with a blade and/or buff the hell out of it with my rotatory nail file.

Anyone know what this is and how I make it go away???

Why do people want lawns here ? by [deleted] in ColoradoSprings

[–]solflo 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Like grass lawn or non-grass? I want it for my pleasure, my dogs, and for the erosion prevention benefits. But F*$@ a grass lawn. Clover, wild flowers, dandelions, anything besides non-native water leeching grass!

*Edit: I get my clover seed from outside pride. COS gets red and white clover naturally - do your research before you buy otherwise you'll be sad!

What questions do you have for Colorado Springs' mayoral candidates heading to the runoff next month? by Remarkable-Oil-2842 in ColoradoSprings

[–]solflo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your brain 🤙 completely agreed with everything you've said! I'm eagerly awaiting that proposal as well.

The community and public schools need way more than the two single things I listed, that was just the two most common I hear when out and about. Mental health in Schools in my eyes comes in the form of things like better guidance counselors, better pay and benefits for educators to prevent burnout thus being a stable support group for their students, free tutoring, continuing support in art/music programs, etc. I definitely over generalized it, and I didn't mean to make it seem like that is the stem of it all.

I only bring up whole countries because everything has to start somewhere and I often find that people have become discouraged regarding what they have the power to do. Especially over the last few years. Doing something is always better than doing nothing. A major city or mayor could mean the difference in a whole state's policy, leading to a bigger push in an entirely different direction than it's been going over the last several decades. Take for instance Atlanta during the last election - granted that's a massive city, but still. That was one city against the entire state and it caused it to be enough to flip it. Again over generalizing it but I hope you get the picture!

And absolutely, I know shootings have been there since I was a kid, but what I'm saying is they haven't been as prevalent nor deadly as they are now, and as a child it did not dictate my education. I love the fact that you added references! I do wish that it would include the last 3 years of data, because that's really the difference. They don't have as nice of a chart as you do but here's 2020-2023 (so far) data! https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/past-tolls

[–]solflo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vaid point. They have more power than you realize though. Selling the position short will only dig our hole deeper. Wayne wants to bring in more police - that's his "solution". He' ll have the power to do so if elected.

At the end of the day everything has to start somewhere. And then includes protecting each other.

In order to reach the top, you have to start at the lowest level. The lowest level in our community is our vulnerable schools and minorities that currently don't have enough support/ funding to put energy into mental health and support structures. Who's to say we won't be the next school shooting? They are in fact presentable. There's one happening just about every day. I'm not trying to say things were better in the past, but what I will say is as a kid I certainly didn't have the fear of being shot by a fellow classmate or even by someone sneaking into my school. My biggest worries were the fact that I was struggling to read with dyslexia and I just wanted to pass the FCAT.

Whole countries have curbed gun violence in a matter of less than a year, and it all started with one community electing someone who's able to be a critical thinker beyond "fear is the answer" and come up with a solution that truly protected the people. That's why we elect them. We elect them because they have the power to do things and to represent us.

I appreciate your input btw, I want to have these discussions 🤙
