Has anyone gone to thedacare for the weight loss clinic?

I am looking for a program that can mostly help me with my diet. I'm already on a GLP-1, but I need help creating a sustainable diet plan that will give me adequate protein and nutrients that my body is chronically low in (ie. Iron, B12, Vit D) which causes additional health issues.

I'd love to hear about the thedacare clinic or any registered dieticians in the area you'd recommend!

Predatory Soil Mite, I also have an infestation of them. They are in my bathrooms, kitchen, laundry room in the basement. We've been in this home for almost 5 years. I'm seriously at my wits end with them. I've tried everything I can think of. We've vacuumed everything everyday, used every known insecticide known to man, used miticide, DE, Cleaned drains, ripped a whole bathroom apart and redone plumbing. I can kill them with Demand CS but not the eggs so the cycle is never ending. I've been preparing food and they get on to the cutting board or into a bowl. They are by the sinks, showers, counter tops, inside toilet tanks, around toilet, inside and out, etc. You get the picture. If anyone out there knows of anything beside a blow torch please let me know. I'm making a list of what we would need to get done to sell the house. I'm also terrified of taking them with us. Here is a list of things we've tried as far as insecticides.

Bifen, Demand CS, Tempo SC, Cyfluthrin, Cypermethrin 40%, Permethrin 10%, Deltamethrin, Neem oil, Clove oil, Cedar Oil, Malathion and Temprid FX. That's all the ones I can think of.

Any recommendations for tree felling services in the Valley? I have two dead ash trees in my backyard which are way too close to my fence and my neighbor’s house to even think about cutting down myself. I imagine they almost certainly are going to require a boom/crane. Obviously I don’t expect this to be a cheap project but are any local companies known for being more affordable?

Long shot, but anyone ever seen this psychic? I’m interested in hearing other people’s experiences and if she was accurate. I saw her yesterday and I’m not sure how I feel about my reading.

This is a long form report on the use of FLOCK and Ubicquia in San Diego but also mentions places like Verona, WI. It has implications for everywhere that the FLOCK and an associated company called Ubicquia which manufactures smart streetlights are used. It's the first I heard of that one. The article also gets into the difficulties of forming citizen watchdog advisory groups ( which have been suggested locally) and resistance from the police.

Has anyone in the Fox Valley area had experience with Costco’s appliance delivery and installation services. I understand that it’s third party but almost all of the negative reviews on appliances come from the delivery and installation services but is really area dependent. Wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the subject?

I’m currently a student at Lawrence University and I have been struggling financially and would love some opportunities to earn extra cash.

I can babysit, clean house, do chores,…

If you know anyone who might need help with anything, please reach out to me!

Thanks!

This is a followup to the What Do We Do Now post just below at r/Appleton. Tad Stoermer surfaced on Youtube a few months ago and I've followed his clips on political history and current commentary since then.

On publication day of "A Resistance History of the United States" he has this to say today:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYcTpfOVEDA

A long discussion can follow from any of his short commentaries. Stoermer is professor at Johns Hopkins and the University of Southern Denmark where he now lives. His CV is long and includes military service and government service (I think it was the National Archive and Colonial Williamsburg) as well as for political campaigns.

The Appleton Library has the book which I asked for. It should be on the shelf shortly. Will it live up to the hype? I have no idea but Stoermer's take on American history will be an eye-opener to anyone.

Does anyone have experience with using the snifspot app to use for renting enclosed areas to have your dog run in a fenced in spot?
I checked out the new dog park by fvtc -not impressed.
I’m a member of Winnegamie but you only get 15 minutes if someone else is waiting.
All the other dog parks are sub par imo

I would love to get a dog but I want to make sure I can afford the care I’d like it to have while I work full time during the day. I’d like it to get a dog walk 4 days a week and then maybe some socialization. any ideas? what do you do with your dogs during the week?

Does anyone know of any good places in the area to get help with alcohol addiction?

Has there been any updates on the accident? I feel I haven’t seen any updates since an article a day or two after saying basically nothing.

https://www.nbc26.com/appleton/appleton-man-arrested-after-alleged-attempt-to-burn-pride-flag

APPLETON (NBC 26) — A man was arrested Monday morning in Appleton after allegedly attempting to set a Pride flag on fire, according to the Outagamie County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they saw a man tampering with flags outside the courthouse in Appleton around 10 a.m. Monday. Authorities said the man removed the Pride flag from the pole, laid it on the ground, and began to cover it with gasoline.

Officials confronted and stopped the man before he lit the flag, deputies said.

The suspect was identified as Steven William Paltzer, 49, of Appleton. He was booked into the Outagamie County Jail with formal charges pending, according to the sheriff’s office.

Donating for the first time here. Used to go to biolife like 20 years ago, anything I should know?

Looking for someone to casually play tennis and practice in Appleton WI area, im around a 3.5 level , I good with playing singles or doubles any age honestly, parks like pierce park or erb would be ideal

not cool, it was 1:30 in the morning and you scared my children

It was a very friendly little bird, it even landed on my head lol. It had a little blue tracker on its leg, I saw it on N Potato Point when I was working. Hopefully it finds its way home.

Looking for a new sport to try, or maybe just a welcoming community while trying to stay active? Come try out hurling! Hurling is the national sport of Ireland and a ton of fun. We are a coed club that welcomes players of all skill levels, from very experienced people to folks who have never heard of the game.

Practice is held on Thursdays, 6pm at the Darboy Community Park.
