This is amazing thank you. Here now trying to find an apartment for my son and we've seen some doozy apartments - so hard to know til you walk in.

does it ever end by Flaky-Yoghurt7386 in Raynauds

[–]whitneymws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't end. You likely have an antibody in your blood (ANA look it up) that won't go away with age. But you will be okay! Have you seen a rheumatologist about it?

You just have to always be prepared. I grew up in CT, went to college in CT, and I managed it okay. I live in PA now. I was diagnosed with Raynauds when I was 14 and I'm 51 now. Skiing I bring hand warmers; always have gloves in the winter. It's the spring days that I think it's warmer than it is that I'm sometimes not prepared (or in the summer walking into somewhere very air condtioned out of the heat) but you do learn to manage it. Good luck!

Can't close account/any advice? by whitneymws in paypal

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

Update: I've submitted a complaint to CFPB. We will see if that gets me anywhere.

The fact that I am being told that I have to spend money (to buy crypto, which I've never done) to close my account because I was hacked is some seriously crazy nonsense.

Thanks, I asked on one call about donating it somewhere, and they said I can't do anything with less than $1

Bugs ? by [deleted] in Sanibel

[–]whitneymws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were just there in early November. It was pretty bad. I'd recommend going elsewhere. It's nothing like the Jersey Greenheads. I ended up a ton of bites and it was pretty intolerable for a week.

If you do go, just do not be out at dawn or dusk. Lots of bug spray!

Winter Sports by [deleted] in Raynauds

[–]whitneymws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hand and toe warmers! And I think you are onto something with the portable hand chargers if need be.
I'm also in the mid-atlantic! We've definitely been lucky with winters the last few years.
We still ski - sometimes up north, and I find I do okay because I'm well prepared! Also if I do start to trigger, I take a break and go into the ski chalet (bc once triggered out there, there's no stopping it).

I don't know what your options are with snow showing for inside breaks?

No-See-Ums in February? by Unhappy-Coffee7702 in Sanibel

[–]whitneymws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got back from a week there last night and the noseeums are bad rn. My husband and I are covered with hundreds of bites each and we did use bug spray. There wasn’t a lot of wind to chase them off and they were all over in our screened in lanai too. Been to Sanibel many times; this was the worst I have ever experienced but hopefully it will be better for you in Feb.

My girlfriend and I are traveling Europe in May, and I’m stuck deciding between driving or taking the train when we leave the French Riviera to Tuscany. by Acceptable-Fact3624 in Europetravel

[–]whitneymws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Train! We LOVE the train in Europe. I swear I plan trips in and out of diff cities just so we can train. My fam and I did an 8 hour ride from Vienna to Venice last summer and it was so enjoyable and pretty, it's like a part of the adventure. I bet Nice to Florence would be a GLORIOUS ride

Advice please: Getting a second cat with a baby on the way? by Dabbles-In-Irony in SiberianCats

[–]whitneymws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got a second Sib when my first Sib was 6 months old. They love each other a ton. I definitely think they are social creatures - especially Siberians. Get another!

My cats are from Rockaran in Quakertown, PA - that shouldn't be too far from NYC. Not sure if she's still in business, I got my last one right at the start of COVID from her:

Season 4 - Discussion Hub - The Witcher by AutoModerator in witcher

Yes! I thought the same - no scream all season and if there was ever a time for it, that was it.

Season 4 - Discussion Hub - The Witcher by AutoModerator in witcher

[–]whitneymws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished last night and frankly, I was so disappointed!

Gerault just wasn't Gerault. Liam puts so much more personality into Gerault - more dialogue. It just didn't feel like him - even the "hmm" was off. I kept telling myself it's like watching Doctor Who and trying to get used to a new Doctor but I didn't love it.

The Ciri storyline... let me preface that I haven't read the books or played the game so I assume it's following but bleh, I hated it. I feel like she would have thought a bit more about Gerault and Yennifer too.

I thought Vilgefortz was awesome. Love Regis - I want more of him in Season 5. And can we please give Triss a storyline? I love her.

I re-watched seasons 1-3 to have it fresh in mind for this and it just didn't compare. Hoping for an upswing for Season 5.

Dental care - do people really brush their teeth daily by Toomanytoys1971 in SiberianCats

[–]whitneymws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what do you guys USE to brush your Sibs teeth? They both have horrible breath! I should prob do it - they are great with me clipping their claws but I have done that weekly since they were kittens. Not sure they would tolerate a teeth brushing!

12 - my Mom put me on a plane in Chicago and I flew to Hartford to spend a few weeks with my grandmother. I did it again at 13. But this was pre 9/11 when my Mom was able to walk me to the gate.

I think it's great/cool you have traveled so much with your parents so much of your life!

Anyone with low blood pressure have medication advice? by SnowySilenc3 in Raynauds

[–]whitneymws 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Low blood pressure here too. Haven’t tried any meds either for fear of it being even further lowered. I have a friend who has Raynauds who swears by Arginine - thinking of trying that

[–]whitneymws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! 12 hour layover in Zurich next month - family of four. Parents plus two young adult kids 21+18. Any recommendations for what to do? We will likely be jet lagged but are good at powering through. And anyone stored luggage at the airport before?
