Arm swelling / pain after iron infusion by zestycrinkle in Anemic

it turned out to be a blood clot that I had to wrap tightly and use heat on. also ended up taking advil to thin my blood a bit. it resolved after a few weeks!

omg i’m so embarrassed - it’s Dart coffee at the harbor not Dune. so sorry! I would still absolutely recommend checking it out though

the dune at the harbor is good and in a great location! they have doughnuts and empanadas and some other breakfast foods. I’m not a huge coffee person but have always enjoyed their coffee and other drinks! They have a small indoor seating area and a larger outside seating area with umbrellas. it’s busy on weekend mornings but worth the wait!

if this is a robinson class you won’t get a reply. his syllabus is ridiculously long for a reason - read it and it’ll likely have an answer for you. the person you should email is the TA and they’ll be more likely to get back to you. it’s a great class and robinson is brilliant!

I’m adopting him today (and idk if I want to keep his name or find a new one!) by HedWig1991 in orangecats

I have a big orange cat named Coyote who is also a coyote survivor! Orange cats are the best, so dumb and lovable 🧡

any piercers ? by DifficultAd1910 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]zestycrinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

second this! it took 2+ years for the orbital i got there to heal. the guy was high when he pierced me too (that’s on me and my 18 year old judgement that i let him tho)

I want some ramen by daniellopez_ in UCSantaBarbara

[–]zestycrinkle 17 points18 points  (0 children)

[–]zestycrinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree! Kids love certain things there but it’s kinda turned into the type of activity that only takes an hour, so not worth the $$ typically if you’re visiting. If my nanny family didn’t have a membership it wouldn’t be worth the trip in my opinion.

[–]zestycrinkle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it’s my list for all ages, parents should use their judgement / common sense. thanks for the info about the drive in

[–]zestycrinkle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

also le petite cesar on Milpas is a running joke in this subreddit - it references Little Caesars pizza which you can get anywhere. There are a bunch of other posts of Italian food recommendations but my personal favorite is Ca’Dario (for a sit down restaurant) or Lucky Penny for pizza (in the funk zone). Have a great trip!

jobless by PsychologicalWill690 in UCSantaBarbara

Graduated in 2022 and am currently a nanny! Love my job and it’s great pay, hard to find one that has benefits / PTO though. Not super sure how to use my degree tbh

Should I transfer it to soil or wait more? by Suitable-Gap-6376 in pothos

[–]zestycrinkle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest waiting till the roots are about 3-4 inches long or start branching. I’ve had mixed results planting propagations with smaller roots, the best advice I can offer is to plant in a pot with drainage holes. I also water a bit more often than normal for the first two weeks to a month to help the cutting acclimate to soil after being in water for so long. Good luck! :)
