Hi, I’m 40 and two weeks into my first Testosterone pellet, and also some new supplements (B12, Liver for iron, D + K, and DIM). Hoping for mood, brain fog, and libido improvements, energy would be a bonus.

I want to ask the question “What is the general timeline for improvements and side effects?”, but I am suspecting the answer varies widely enough that it’s not worth asking?

For example, unwanted chin hair growth… is it possible I’m seeing an update 2 weeks into the pellet? Or most people see it around month X?

The clinic I’m working with told me girls usually feel good improvements within a couple of weeks, and then might feel it taper off and wonder to themselves “did it stop working?” But not to fret because the body is adjusting to the first pellet, and by the second pellet (around 4 months for me) things are usually back to feeling good more consistently.

I guess I want to learn what is to be expected and what can’t be* *expected because it varies too widely.

We don’t know if our 8 year old is ADHD, but we have her scheduled next month for testing. She’s an angel at school, with no issues there. But at home we have lots of behavior issues. She just finished a year of play therapy to “help her learn how to handle her emotions better”. And now I’m worried we might be giving her a complex that something’s wrong with her, if we frame this ADHD testing the wrong way.

How would you tell your kid that they’re going to be talk to someone for a few appointments… without them feeling shame about it?

My dog is allergic to storage mites, among other things, and we’re doing allergy shots for him. Meanwhile, the Vet says we should manage storage mites by freezing his kibble. I have only my one freezer which doesn’t have much extra room for dog food. It’s not like we can put a whole bag of dog food in there and scoop from it.

Is this system good enough?

-Clean air tight container food container with soap and water and air dry, do this every 3 weeks or so when dog food depletes.
- open new bag of dog kibble into the container
- scoop one days worth of kibble into a freezer ziplock bag, including dedicated scoop. Put into freezer.
- Next day, use scoop/kibble from freezer for breakfast, and keep in fridge for dinner time later
- Use rest of kibble from freezer bag for dinner and refill same ziplock with tomorrows kibble and dedicated scoop and put into freezer

Is reusing the same ziplock bag bad? If I can avoid wasting a new bag every day, that would be nice.

Is reusing the same scoop in the ziplock bag a problem?

Note: my airtight container is the vittles vault with the screw on lid, I think it’s as about airtight as they make them.

I'm planning a gulf shores area vacation, and I'm all confused on which Phoenix condo is which, there's like 8 or something? Do I have it correct that that "Phoenix II West" is the old name for the new name The Oasis at Orange Beach? Which is a completely different building than "Phoenix II" which is still named that?

I would love to see all the Phoenix condos on a map so I can tell them apart, does anyone have that?

My dog tested positive to allergies for dust mites (among other things) and we’re 5 months into allergy shots. I remember the doctor telling us to use Dust Mite spray, but I stalled on that I’ve since lost the paperwork on the details. But I’ve bought some and I’m now ready to start spraying it.

1. How often am I spraying things? The bottle says no more than once every 8 weeks? Because it would make the dog sick or just unnecessary? Also, what if I wash his bed more often than that, does it mean I need to spray again?

2. It says to vacuum the bed before spraying, is that important to do right before spraying? Or if I’ve done it a few days prior I’m ok?

3. How damp am I spraying the fabric? Is there a way to quantify that so I’m not under or over spraying?

Comfort Colors and Bella + Canvas always have a higher neckline than I’m looking for. But I don’t want v-neck. Is there another brand that is known to ride lower on the neck?

I have never understood how long to press reset button vs power button. The manual doesn’t explain well, and internet says different things from 1 second to 3 seconds to wait a a couple of minutes, etc.

Can someone please be very specific and walk me through the steps? I just tried 2 second reboot button, wait a few minutes and 3 second power buttons…. And now it’s powered off I guess. But I have active nest so I want to minimize interacting with the nest.
