I have previously mainly had our vet trim the nails, or the groomer. However, I'm considering trying to do it myself mainly due to costs and convenience (groomer is far away).

I used to trim my cockatiel's nails (years and years ago, he's since passed) but they seemed much larger footed and easier to work with for some reason.

• Curious if other linnie parents trim their birb's nails, or if you have a groomer/vet do it?
• And, if you have the groomer do it, about how much do you pay per trim?

Given that Google Drive is sadly phasing out its Google Photos backup (damn you Google! why the hell would you do this?!) on August 10th....

I need to know - if I have a folder that's been backed up by Google Drive desktop app to Google Photos, and then I add MORE photos to the folder after August 10th - if I do the new "Folder backup" option on the Google Photos website, will it only upload the NEW pics?

Struggling to find common ground and a healthy adult relationship with them. I think I would look forward to having an adult child. But every time I have a horribly toxic interaction with my own parents, it makes me reconsider the value of this. Does every generation feel this way about their parents? Even if I’m the best parent, would this still be the future outcome, especially with the way the world is going?

I would really love to start hunting for some secondhand charms. I buy mostly new from
Website, sometimes used online if it looks real, but I would like to browse secondhand in person.

Anyone have any good recs for specific stores in Bay Area that carry used Pandora?

Thanks in advance 😘💫

My husband and I are both ER doctors. We are exposed to lots of germs and sick people and dirty conditions all day.

During Covid, my husband would give me the hardest time if I did not immediately strip out my scrubs the second I walked thru the door. We developed a habit where we would change out of our contaminated scrubs and shower as soon as we got home.

Fast forward a few years to present day, where Covid isn’t such a big deal anymore. My husband has gotten into the habit of coming home and just lying all over the couch, using the kitchen, sitting on dining table, etc all in his scrubs for an hour or two after work. I still change and shower right away. It grosses me out that his scrubs- which he wore and touched all manner of people and bodily fluids with - are all over our furniture and cooking area every day.

I mentioned it to him gently tonight and suggested that he might feel more refreshed if he showered and that his scrubs were dirty. Cue yelling about how I’m a bossy bitch, and now he’s not talking to me.

Is it me?! Other healthcare folks pls chime in….

My partner is taking a new job at the FDA and we are relocating to be closer to family. Looking for other ED docs' experiences working for USACS in the DMV. Currently work at a democratic group in the Midwest.

I watched it livestreamed on Apple Music and it was amazing! I really hope she drops something.

Not an STR as they are not allowed in my area for my type of building/unit.

Ideally, plan to rent for 30-60-90 day stays. I'd like to reserve use of the condo for a few blocks of weeks (maybe a total of 6-8 weeks per year) when we have family events in the area or when using it for personal vacation.

If I am still using the condo for personal use some of the time, do I need to a regular homeowner's policy with some sort of landlord coverage? Or do I need to switch to something like Proper Insurance?

Had an abortion a few months ago due to being unsure. I am 37 and married, no kids, husband also a fencesitter. Many emotions since then both including regret, relief, continued questioning, etc.

However I think having an abortion and the subsequent emotional rollercoaster helped me to see that perhaps I DO want to have a child in the near future. I had been fencesitting hard before this and I am grateful for this tiny bit of partial clarity.

Wondering if anyone else had a similar experience, and how to deal with the absolute potpourri of anxieties that comes along with it :(

I’m looking into installing a Navien tankless Combi-Boiler in my old walk-up condo. The existing unit is extremely old and must go.

I was quoted about $12k for everything including the unit, vent work, etc.

seems a bit high to me but not sure what the going rate is. willing to pay a bit more for quality service and installation though.
