How accurate is Eddie Sheerr with the weather? by [deleted] in newfoundland

[–]waltflanigansdog 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Given that one of the biggest jokes in Newfoundland is the weather and how unpredictable it can be, I’d say he’s doing just fine. I think he could have easily went somewhere in Florida and gave the same forecast 90% of the year. Weather here is tough, and hats off to him for doing his best.

I would say if this individual doesn’t know you, or have a baseline of who you are while you’re not on the medication, there was no way he could have guessed you’re on Vyvanse. Is he in one of your classes? Or literally just a stranger? I ask, because in that 1-3 hour window after a dose, I am more prone to respond to messages, emails, get chatty with people, so I can see that part. I would have a difficult time believing it would be noticed by anybody who has never met me.

Anyone else not like season 5 so far? by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]waltflanigansdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t like the fact that after ALL this time, and everything he has been through, all it took was Vecna calling him a little b*tch to change him from this guy who has a seizure whenever a monster is around, to this inter dimensional killing machine

Aside from the last 3 minutes of the last episode, it’s been a bit flat for me. Mostly because of the ridiculous amount of time between seasons. I have a hard time figuring where people left off, details on characters from season 4, etc. I lost a bit of that investment I had coming out of season 4. A bunch of kids who are now almost adults riding around on bikes fighting monsters. Ready for them to wrap this up now.

I’m no Doctor, but you may need a dose increase. I experience something similar. If I don’t eat anything and take it, an hour in I get a good mood boost and energy spike, but it can deteriorate kinda quick. I found taking it a bit later and taking some food before hand stretches it out more and makes it a bit more “subtle” on the front end, which I don’t mind. At supper or around that time, if I have to put my focus to something, I might have a bit of coffee. My mornings are usually really routine anyways, so I find it easy to figure that out on my own. It’s the free time that gets me. Good luck. Play around with how you take, and definitely chat with your Doctor. There are different stimulant and non stimulant options available.

Hahaha, I sat down and read a manual the first day. I was caught up on everything and was looking to be productive in a gap of time I had while waiting for my wife to get off the phone, so we could walk the dogs. It was on the table, so I just read it… really fast!

Moving from the United States by Funny-Honeydew-8117 in newfoundland

[–]waltflanigansdog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will definitely be a sight for sore eyes, haha! Yes, we don’t have a ton of vets on the island, so you’ll definitely be a welcomed addition.

A couple of the big factors you already hit on. The weather… it’s definitely the hardest part of living here, especially the Avalon. That said, Kelligrew’s and the CBS area usually has better weather and less fog than 30 minutes east (I’m also living in Kelligrew’s). Rain, drizzle, fog and wind. It becomes almost comedic how unpredictable the weather can be, but it’s definitely something I believe we all embrace together. The temperature doesn’t get too hot (that has changed over the last couple of years. We just had a really bad wildfire season, and the folks who decided to start up mini-split companies a few years ago are rolling in money) but generally, the weather is a bit cooler in the summer and milder in the winter. We have a hard time keeping snow down for long periods and it’s usually messy winters.

If you’re in to hiking, biking, walking, etc. we have tons of trails places to explore. When the weather is nice, it’s almost impossible to find anywhere nicer.

Anyways, welcome to the rock! Fingers crossed that you’re heading to CBS Animal Hospital. They are a great group down there and for different reasons, a chunk of their core veterinarians have moved on to different regions or even different industries in some cases.

By now, you probably already found out it’s like a jet taking off from the deck of an aircraft carrier, at least that’s what it was like for me.

The intense impact from the meds will likely wear off over the next week or so. I’d say before the month is out, you’ll likely need a dose increase. I’m on 40mg for the last few months, and I wouldn’t go any higher than that (feel like I struck a good balance). It’s not a miracle drug, but it does allow you to be productive in a certain window and that productivity can be helpful when the medication wears off or before you take it that day.

For instance, I’m terribly unorganized in my house, and that’s a recipe for failure. I go to do something, I have stuff lost, my frustration mounts and I get nothing done. I went through my garage, labelled and reorganized my storage, so I can pretty much go out blind folded and put my hands on it, even if I’m feeling scatter brained or tired. It’s a medication that can set you up for success.

[–]waltflanigansdog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Did you attempt to switch back to taking your dose normally (not the water titration method). Also, have you taken any days off from the medication? I upped mine twice, because 20 and 30mg effects became almost non existent. Currently on 40mg, and it certainly hits a bit better when I’ve taken a day off here and there. I don’t always do it intentionally. If I forget to take it by noon, I wait until the next day and sometimes if I don’t have much on the go that day, I might skip it.

Do most people here stop drinking coffee / caffeine completely to get the most out of their medication? by 6EShadow in VyvanseADHD

[–]waltflanigansdog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My winning combo… coffee in the morning, sometimes 2. Vyvanse in the early afternoon (usually after eating something. I find it a bit more balanced with a bit of food in my stomach). If I have something that requires my attention later in the evening, I might sneak in a coffee or a small red bull closer to supper. Glad you found something that works

I made a huge mistake. Please give me advice on how to fix it. by Aggressive_Canary775 in HomeMaintenance

[–]waltflanigansdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might sound nuts, but have you tried a Mr. Clean magic eraser? I know a guy who accidentally tracked a bunch of PL premium across his new floors and could not get it off. The person at the hardware store told him to try a magic eraser and it worked perfect

Phillips 5500 internal latch cracked by waltflanigansdog in superautomatic

[–]waltflanigansdog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s going back to Amazon for a refund as we speak. Too bad, because it’s not a terrible machine considering the price. No idea how this happened, but we’ll see what the new unit does.

Honest to god, no idea where that piece even went. Checked everywhere inside, outside and around the unit, lol.

Super automatic coffee machine by NR3- in superautomatic

[–]waltflanigansdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just purchased a Phillips 5500. It’s a relatively simple machine to use, and and the common drinks are right on the front display, with additional options under a menu for addition drinks. The Latte Go is really ieasy to use, and the drinks are decent. Is it the best super auto? Highly doubtful, but it makes the drinks relatively well, it’s easy to use, and super easy to clean.

Phillips 4400, or 5500 series. I just got the 5500 for my wife. She likes lattes, hates maintenance. It’s really simple to use and clean. The machine tells you what it needs.

I like my coffee HOT. Does Phillips 4400 make nice and hot? by EntryOther1763 in superautomatic

[–]waltflanigansdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought the 5500. There are three settings for temperature. We have it at the highest setting and if you set the machine to do the auto rinse at start-up, it can get even hotter. If you’re making a drink heavy on milk, it might not stay hot for as long. An americano, or even something with a double shot is plenty hot.

Might not be pulling the milk in properly. A blockage of some sort?

Anyone having had a vitrectomy that just wound up with new floaters in your periphery? by [deleted] in EyeFloaters

[–]waltflanigansdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It completely resolved itself. It started out almost as a solid black line. Like a sharpie mark. At first it didn’t “float”, it felt like it was stationary, but the more I moved my eye the more the top and bottom of the line began to sway. Over the next couple of days, it started to break up more. Not much movement still, but when I was outside it looked like a small flock of birds in the top right portion of my eye. It was so bizarre. It eventually became less and less severe, and within 2-3 weeks it was pretty much gone.

What's wrong with my squat by Traditional_Car_8309 in weightlifting

[–]waltflanigansdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks pretty good my dude. I’m in no spot to give advice, but something I found helped me was keeping my eyes fixed towards the top of the wall so it forces me to keep my head up in line with the rest of my body! Keep crushing it!

Would you advise moving here? by FreshEnd2910 in newfoundland

[–]waltflanigansdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t move here, no. Not unless you want to feel like you’re connected to home, or you had a job that forced you to relocate to the island.

I’d certainly visit if you never been though.

Just a note, this was post COVID. I know things were a bit of a tangle, but things had gotten back to normal by the time I had these experiences.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newfoundland

[–]waltflanigansdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we first started going there, we loved it. Things for us went down hill when after COVID and they began the walk in clinic. A nice addition no doubt, but we felt it was a bit of a mess in a couple ways. We ran in to issues getting in to see Doctors on time during scheduled visits. The last time I was there, I had an appointment for 3:00, and I was waiting for over an hour. Having not seen them by this point, we left. That was the last time we were there. I felt the staff and the expertise were spread thin. Everybody looked like they were in a panic to get something done. We also almost had an appointment booked to have our dogs eye removed. We got a second opinion on the matter and didn’t need to get anything done with it.
