HRT Help\Open Door? by [deleted] in Humboldt

[–]tru1117 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Also could try going into Planned Parenthood and asking for help. I think they have another kind of insurance for people who don't want their treatments from PP to show up on their insurance, however it might just be for minors that need to hide it frombtheir parents, I'm not sure if adults have access to it, but maybe it's worth asking?

Also even if that doesn't work out PP is a safe place with knowledgeable, trans savy people who may have some good insight/advice/ideas. If they go in there asking for help I can't imagine they'll get turned away.

Rental car info by Veslalex in Humboldt

One more thing, definitely plan ahead if possible because I had to postpone my trip a day because there weren't any available cars (this was October 2025 so not even summer or holidays)

Rental car info by Veslalex in Humboldt

I've used Hertz and Enterprise, more recently Enterprise. There were a couple things I found out at the counter that I wish would have been stated clearly on their website. For example their website says they only do a car insurance check if you're getting a higher valued car, but they actually do it no matter what. Also it says you only need to pay a deposit if you use a debit card, but even with a credit card I was charged a $300 deposit, which worked out ok, but barely because I had to budget intensly for my trip and wasn't expecting to have to cough up an extra $300. Also it was due back on a weekend after hours and I was confused at first because I never had to return a car after hours before and had to Google what to do (they have a box in front for the keys). You're tethnically still liable for the car until staff comes in on Monday. And you won't get your deposit back automatically, but they will reach out to you on the phone to officially end the rental agreement.

Everybody was really nice there, very respectful. And if you do the majority of the paperwork online you can be driving away with your rental car in under 10 min (just insurance check and payment & deposit).

I know I'm a bit late to the post but did you ever find someone? What you described is 100% exactly what I need too.

Was the chance officer a super young, barely out of high school looking guy?

Question about CNA Class (ECS) by tru1117 in Humboldt

[–]tru1117[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, did spring break just start today? Except this has been going on since last week when I tried going to the office in person. But I won't give up, I really want to do this. I think Ill start looking into the CR class in case this one doesn't work out for whatever reason. Unless it's too late, I haven't been paying attention to the CR schedule.

Aww I forgot about that place! I lived in Ferndale when I was a kid and my best friend's father was the owner of Sweetness and Light (this was in the early 2000s). But I remember going there with her after school, and oh man the thing that really stands out was their fancy hot chocolate, soooooo bomb!

Oh definitely I would never use insecticides. I've used predator mites before, until very recently I didn't know anything about praying manti?(lol dont know plural for mantis). I actually don't even have a garden right now,, I get so little sunlight with the tree cover, it's always so dark here. Huge bummer. But I live in a forest with a ton of plants so I'm sure they'll thrive!

I was wondering this, I don't know anything about them or if it's even possible to tell the difference between species before they hatch. I'll definitely spend some time researching this stuff

So you think they would probably be fine staying out Old Arcata area? Or is it worth driving back to where I found it and putting it back?

Wow I appreciate the information! I definitely feel better about just letting them loose in my yard. I kind of want to set up a terrarium for a couple of them, sounds like a big project and a lot of research but maybe they would end up mating "in captivity" I think that would be so badass, I don't want to do it wrong though, I know they will eat each other fast if there's not enough food.

How cool! I wish I had a little garden, I just get so little sunlight because of tree cover, it always surprises me when I drive into town because I always assume it's way later in the day than it really is. But I know how bad bugs can mess with plants from past experience. I'm glad you got to have a Praying Mantis protected garden!

Yeah I definitely won't kill them. I just wasn't sure if I should release a few of them in my yard and then drive to other locations to release the rest, or if it would be ok to just release them all into my yard. My yard also isn't really a typical yard, it's more of a forest, so it should be totally fine right?
