My dog really hates the heat unless she's at the beach (even then it has to be the evening). Yesterday we had a pretty cool day and she was like a different dog. Went on multiple long walks, played with her ball a lot, just so much peppier. It makes me realize how much she really dislikes the heat. I feel like she's bored a lot in the summer because she doesn't ever want to go for walks (that and she associates warm weather with fireworks at night and then is also sometimes afraid to go at night). Is anyone else's aussie like this?

I'm really boring and just like vanilla chocoalte chip, or peanut butter based flavors.

I’m finally off their waitlist as of May, and I’m wanting to get Blooms of Darkness in the scratch and dent, because I LOVE the design of the other 2 books. But I’m just concerned about what the quality will be like. Has anyone ever bought anything from a previous scratch and dent? What should I expect?

After 15 years of being on a spiritual journey and devoting most of my life to being more fulfilled spiritually, I feel like there is still something missing. I've explored various spiritual paths, meditate, yoga, gnostic christianity etc.

I bought a pint because it didnt say it was made on equipment with gluten ,but then I noticed it says that it's made in a facility that has wheat :( apparently they diligently clean everything though. does anyone eat this safely?

I hate denim shorts, and have a few pairs of like sweatpants type shorts. They're mostly fine, but the waistband can be a sensory ick at times. I am looking for something thats not super short but is above the knee, soft, stretch with not a huge waistband. wondering if anyone has found anything like that?

I have what I would say are pretty good habits. Because I am chronically ill, taking care of myself is of the upmost importance. I also am knowledgeable about doctors, reading blood/tests etc. I have a friend that has adopted many of my habits, and it's great, I have realized that I have positively impacted this persons life, but sometimes it feels one sided. I'm always the go to support person, but I tend to keep things to myself or don't harp on stuff out loud, so my support needs go forgotten. I do recognize that it's on me to share and ask for support, but sometimes it's tiring always being the person who helps, and rarely gets help. Does anyone else feel like that?

My doctor suspects I have EOE. I’m getting an endoscopy in July. However I’m already on dupixent for eczema. Would this mean the treatment doesn’t work for me? How often do you take it for EOE?

I removed the tick but part of it got stuck, so I had to go to urgent care for them to dig it out. The tick was sent for testing and found to be a lone star tick. I just want to know, how long if you get the allergy, does it actually develop? I am a vegetarian but I do consume dairy. I already have an epi pen because I have a host of other medical conditions and mast cell disorder. I just want to know if there's a timeline to be aware of?

I have been having increasing trouble swallowing food. I did a swallow study which showed some issues in my esophagus muscles (shocker). My doctor wants to do another endoscopy to do biopsies to see if it could be an auto immune disorder related to esophagus inflammation, but she also is ordering the manometry study to check the muscle function. The idea of the test sounds terrifying, she said it isn't painful though. Want to hear everyone's experiences.
