Just here to third Dr Lamb and the whole practice. I haven’t seen Erica, but I’ve seen Dr Lamb and his PA Chris (who is also a gem of a human). I have T1 diabetes and they’re the right amount of hands on/off with that. They take a LOT of time talking and listening, and Chris was the only medical professional who ever took a second to go “heyyyy you sound like you’re having a tough time, would you like to talk about ways we might help?” (Yes, my dude. Big yes).

Honestly, as a person who has had some pretty fucked up medical experiences, it’s really refreshing to have a primary practice that…practices? And doesn’t just fob you off on a specialist all the time (they do refer, but they handle a lot of stuff in office too!)

I’ve been wanting to get a small gun for home defense. I live near the house that was broken into two times in two days in Bloomfield recently. When someone’s in your house what are you gonna do if you’re not armed.

They seem to do what so many small businesses start doing. Make their money sure, but eventually it slows down the earnings potential and leads to a spiral that leads to just downing tools. I hope they don’t because they seem passionate about what it is they do (they are extremely unique I’ve spoken to vegan Poles in Europe who were blown away this exists)

If a democrat tries to implement annual assessments it will be committing career suicide and hand the county to republicans. Democrats could fix the clr with less bad publicity and spend political capital on more important issues. Let a Republican figure out the shitty property tax system because they refuse to raise income taxes

I've unfortunately had the opposite experience. Inevitably, when I enter a shop, some asshole is crowing about "his freedums!" and generally being belligerent.

I'm sure a lot of shop owners don't want that rep, but they also don't want to tell some guy who drops a lot of money to feed his prepper fantasy to shut the fuck up, either.
