Pretty much the title. It took months for our daughter to even consider talking to someone and now the therapists who seem like the best fit have long waitlists.

There’s one person who can see her pretty soon but their practice is very general and I can’t tell how much they actually work with teenagers.

We’ve started looking at virtual options too like emora just so we aren’t limited to whoever happens to have an office nearby.

I’m worried that if we wait 2 months she’ll change her mind. But I’m also worried that one bad first experience will confirm everything she already thinks about therapy.

What would you prioritize?

Trying to find an experience gift in SF for my sister and I keep landing on the same boring stuff. Dinner. Tickets. Nice, but not exciting. She likes food and creative things but would not want a serious 6 week class.

More like a one-off thing where you can be bad at it and still have fun. Pottery could work. Cooking could work. Something crafty maybe, as long as it’s beginner friendly and not awkward for two people. Budget is around $150. What’s a good SF experience gift that feels low effort but still thoughtful?

I understand what an EDR download is, but what makes someone decide they actually need one? Is it something you'd request on most serious crashes or only when liability is being disputed?

Hey everyone, need some help here. Most of the Blossom Health reviews I find are about signing up or the first appointment. That’s useful, but honestly not the part I care about most. If I’m trying to decide whether Blossom is worth it, I care more about month 3 or month 6. I want consistent follow ups, easy medication management, and no issues with my insurance. Does anyone here have long term experience working with them?

What's a tool or piece of equipment that you never really thought twice about until you didn't have it? I recently lent my engine lift to a friend and then was screwed when I went to help my SIL with her mini cooper.

This is a really sad post, but I also REALLY wish I'd seen someone else post about it before this happened. My mom had a stroke a couple of weeks ago, and I got the call at 6am on a Tuesday. I rushed to the hospital, only to be stunned into silence when the nurse asked if I knew what meds she was on. I had no answer for her. Depressing af.

Mom is stable now (thank god), and my siblings and I are trying to get it together. We're looking for a way to keep track of all that information easily, ideally not just in a google doc. Since we were all missing everything, we want something to tell us what to add, if that makes sense. any ideas out there?

Im US based and trying to figure out roughly what hearing aids cost nowadays because every time someone asks, the answers are all over the place.

Some people say to go with OTC since those are cheaper and can cost between $200-1500, some people are even saying that you can use Airpods as hearing aids but not sure if that hits my needs. I have been a drummer my whole life and after drumming in a small room im starting to pay the price. It was hard to hear people in noisy environments (concerts..etc) but now its anywhere (grocery store, coffee shop). I am trying to be budget conscious but also open to options that hold up longer term, since I dont want to be paying for cheap stuff only to have to pay that price every few years. Anyone have advice on where I can start?

Looking to frame a game-worn Jagr jersey and trying to decide whether it's safer to have this job handled by a local shop or an online framing service. Any recommendations or personal experience with this?

I have a pair of 30+ year old jack stands that are starting to get rusty and I need to get a pair that aren't flaking apart. I work on my truck and my wife's sedan maybe once a month. What should I get, and is it worth spending a little more on them to get them to last at least a decade?

I own a few small businesses and every major financial decision ends up involving both business and personal accounts.

Everything is technically organized, but I still have to stitch the full picture together before deciding whether to invest, hire or take distributions.

Is there software that's actually good at showing both sides without exporting everything into Excel?

Every shop has that purchase everyone questioned until it started saving hours every week. Mine was a quality tire machine years ago. It wasn't cheap, but it reduced broken beads, damaged wheels, and technician frustration almost immediately. What's the tool you would replace tomorrow if it disappeared?

Before actually learning the math, I thought the “best” student loan was the one with the lowest monthly payment. Now I look at APR, fees, repayment term, deferment, cosigner release, and total interest. A lower monthly payment can just mean you are paying forever.

We all know data security has changed a ton over the past few years. If you were building a cloud-first security program today, where would you start? identity, data discovery, risk assessments, or somewhere else?

There are so many probiotic strains that I'm getting overwhelmed trying to compare everything. I'm less interested in marketing claims and more interested in hearing what actually helped people here. Was there one product that stood out for you?

My mattress is officially gross and it’s definitely time for a new one. Looking for somewhere near Pasadena where the staff are helpful, friendly, and not too pushy. Would be better for me to support local rather than a big chain.
Any good local recs?

Has anyone tried 3d drawing with younger kids? I was thinking it could be a cool counterpart to IRL 3d projects like clay and carboard building. If you've tried it, what apps are you using?

I spend a lot of time on desktop apps (I use a lot of Excel and Google sheets for work) between gaming sessions and still see IPS recommended for that use. Definitely don't want the OLED route with all the risks involved.

Based on budget and preference my shortlist includes MO27Q28G, MO27Q28GR and GO27Q24G with a few IPS panels. Panel type is the main decision though. Which direction makes more sense for mixed use?

I'd like to know what PLM software people are using in the aerospace industry these days. Teamcenter, Windchill, and 3DEXPERIENCE seem to dominate most discussions.

Are there any other PLM platforms aerospace teams are using that are worth considering? Has anyone looked at Duro? They were recently aquired by Altium AFAIK.
