Our kid will need one. Anyone been suggested the best time? I’ve seen some young while faces are still developing, and some after 6 year molars come in. I’m worried even at 5 we missed the boat!

When do you open birthday presents? Kids birthday is during the week. Morning sounds like a bad idea. But we are going out to eat so won’t be home until close to bed time. Neither time leaves enough for him to explore the toys. Is doing it on the weekend a bad idea? Or maybe some of them?

Deep conditioner for fine hair?

My hair has been super dry lately and extra frizzy and brittle. I use keto shampoo for scalp health and it makes my hair crazy dry. Today I left on my conditioner for an hour and it really helped. Can anyone recommend a deep treatment conditioner for fine thin hair?

Current routine is Trader Joe’s tea tree conditioner and shampoo, it’s a 10 leave in, and LA looks gel.

I need a recommendation for a derm

I really love corporate wellness but the jobs are far and few between. I don’t see myself ever going back to 1:1 patient care. I see a lot of jobs for health companies like project managers, etc at healthcare companies. Looking for advice on how to gain skills and a resume that would land me a role on product side or managing systems for a healthcare company.

I haven’t applied for a job for about 4 years and a lot has changed in that time ie AI and a lot of job search engines going to shit. I’m currently underpaid, or at least getting paid less than I’d like. I like my job, but I need to make more money. My job is extremely niche and I can’t just google or even research salaries because most jobs today give such huge ranges.

My plan was to hopefully acquire another job, then come back to my boss and say hey, I don’t wanna leave but financially I need more and see if they can match. I do realize I would need to be willing to walk away. And also if I stay that I’ll have a red flag on me possibly. Can anyone give any guidance on this subject, concerns, how to do this gracefully, etc?

I notice I’m Very sensitive to meds in relation to my hair loss, or at least it seems to coincide (maybe it’s random). I’ve noticed I’ve hair hair loss to month long ibuprofen, as well as lexapro and birth control. Is there a running list of meds known to do this, as well as a safe list? I’d love to start an anti anxiety med but I preference hair.

Hi! We tried apoquel for our dogs very crusty nose. He honestly does not bite/itch a ton, and it didn’t help the crusty nose so we stopped after a week or so. However, he rugs his nose a lot, to where he rubs the skin off and it slightly bleeds. We are thinking of trying again. How many does does it take to see if it’s working?

I’m a chronic toe hider. Never ever show my toes except at the beach or pool. They are good feet/toes even, but it just feels like armpits to me where I tend to hide those parts of myself. Weird modesty issues- idk. I almost always wear new balance or converse. Idk like a pair of slip on thong sandals. Super basic but some comfort. I already have birks and chavos. I want something more lightweight that seems to be trending. Nothing too girly, I’m more sporty/unisex look.

I signed my kid up for the summer reading program at the library. He’s 4. We already read 45-60 minutes a day. My worry is he will now see reading as a chore and something to check off instead of actually choosing it? Like when it’s over, he will lose the motivation because the incentive is gone?

For those of you that have moved to chapter books with your children, tell me more. Are there ones with pictures. Are they truly just sitting there patiently and quietly listening to the words? I truly cannot fathom that. I myself struggle with audiobooks, have adhd. Are many kids able to just sit and listen quietly? Beyond that, playing or a puzzle or drawing would make listening way harder for me. And as a parent, is there something wrong with me if I struggle to read a chapter book allowed? A few pages okay but a whole chapter at 8pm is a struggle… dry mouth, tired… 🥱 help!

I selected the target date 2055 fund. Am 37. Apparently this means 69% stock, 7% bonds, and 24% reserves. Should I switch this?

Ahh! I’m going crazy trying to find a proper humidifier. My research has led me to evaporative as the boiling ones/warm are obviously a risk and the ultrasonic ones seem to eventually get mold and leave a white dust.

We aren’t a chicken family. We like beef, tofu, eggs. However my toddler likes chicken so we must figure out how to cook it. We’ve done panko breaded tenders a few times. We did buttermilk once. In general, if I’m making breaded or panko chicken tenders, oven cooked, do I marinate them as well? Always in buttermilk?

Would be happy to get a recipe. It seems hard to find one that isn’t fried.

I’ve been on meloxicam (an NSAID) for about a month and having a massive shed, mino oral 2 years. Like hair falling all day on my arms. My pharmacist had mentioned something about mixing it with mino and concern of interaction with hearts. I didn’t think anything of it. Then I was searching hair loss on Instagram and came upon a doctor warning about mixing aspirin type meds with mino and it blocking the mino?!

I don’t mean to scare anyone, but is this correct and is this known? I’m going to stop my meloxicam (for hip inflammation) and see if it subsides.

I’ve been on minoxidil just over 2 years. I take 1.25 oral. However, each spring/summer I have a huge shed. I wonder if the mino stops working at some point? I’m only 40. This is the thing I dislike most in my life. I get so painfully jealous of people with thick hair. My own mother had almost unmanageably thick hair. Vitamin d is okay I supplement, ferritin is great. Any hair vitamins or any other suggestions? I couldn’t tolerate spiro.

We just started our kid on big kid Legos. Am I meant to keep the ‘kits’ together forever? How are we storing them? How are we storing the extra pieces?

I friend shared that there are some studies if you start a child on adhd meds very young it can make their adhd essentially go away- like rewire them? Has anyone else heard about this or can share more? Our kid is almost 5. No diagnosis but pretty sure and looking at future options.
