HIV-Positive Friend Ghosted By ADAP

I have a friend who is a new resident of Arizona. He's also an HIV positive Ryan White patient, and has been undetectable for the entire time I've known him. Currently he's on Dovato, and thanks to insufficient health coverage, he can't get Dovato unless he is able to tap into his Ryan White benefits.

He's submitted the application and has called the Arizona ADAP office numerous times over the past week, and has gone straight to voicemail each time. He runs out of medication on Thursday, and is not recommended to switch medications due to concerns over development of drug resistance. What more can he do to make the progress he needs to make?

I've called and left voicemails with all three District 6 representatives asking them to call either me or him, but I don't expect to hear back until at least tomorrow.

Where can I fish for koi fish in northern Phoenix

I’m new to fishing, and I’m gonna go to bass pro shop and buy a pole next week. I’m mainly interested in Bass fish and Koi fish. Is there anywhere where I can catch Koi fish?

Valentines day dinner in Phoenix

Hello! I'm new to the area and I'm looking for a nice place somewhere in Phoenix to take my girlfriend to dinner for Valentines Day that's not too expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hiking trip with kids

Thinking about a trip to Arizona in April. 2 kids 8 and 11. I'm thinking to stay mostly in Flagstaff with day trips to Sedona, South rim (via GC Railway), petrified Forest, hanging garden trail and monument valley.

Would really appreciate advice; is that too much, are there other sites I should see, is Flagstaff a good place to situate ourselves? Is that a good time of year? Going during spring break, will it be super packed?

Thank you!

Hiking/Activities in Sedona

Hey Yall! My boyfriend and I are planning to be in Sedona for Valentines Day weekend and are in desperate need of some fun hikes and activities to enjoy during our time there. We know its way too cold to do Slide Rock and are anticipating the cooler weather. (Hopefully it will be less crowded in the cooler months.) We like to hike and are really looking forward to look at all the red rock formations and explore some new landscapes with some cool photo ops. Also looking for fun food spots to try and places to shop as well. If you have any suggestions for hiking/food/shops/activities it'd be greatly appreciated :)

Ficus Advice - can I get them back to be shrubby again?

So these were super full bodied with multiple stems coming from underground and giving it more of a wider bigger look, I cut them all and removed the bottom foot worth of branches. Well I think they are too skinny now, as they look more like small trees but I want the bush look, and I am wondering if they will grow back? I am wondering if I should notch them at the bottom? Just want to know if I’m cooked or not. Also, worst case scenario, I have anxiety about them being too close to the wall anyways so I wouldn’t mind just taking them out. Thank you!

What is this? Noticed it coming out of my attic

Going into my attic I noticed this coming into my laundry room. What the hell is it? There seems to be more in the attic as well.

Sunset at Yarnell Hill

Hard to beat a scenic January motorcycle ride in Arizona. This is from the main viewpoint looking southwest across the valley towards Congress on SR 89.

What is this Sticker???

I've been seeing this on car windows lately... (Mesa/Gilbert specifically) It's always on the driver-side passenger window and it's on cars who's drivers are of all ages (so prolly nothing to do with schooling). I've already googled "flags" or "toll stickers" but to no avail. Reverse image search was bad too.... (Sorry for the bad drawing) The green on the side is supposed to be a bar-code... and the circle has a "V" in it

Paid sick leaves in AZ

My company gives PTOs based on number of years of service, but they do not give sick leaves separately. A friend told me that as per AZ laws, company with 15+ employees must give sick leaves. My company is global company with thousads of employees in US with a offices in each state.

Is it necessary for my company to give sick days? Shall I approach HR? How? Please suggest.

Organic or all natural donut shops in AZ?

Hi all, I was curious if anyone knew of any in-person organic or all natural donuts shops in AZ, that are not Yo! Donut, Knead Luv Bakery, or Sprouts/Natural Grocers/Whole Foods. And yes Reddit, I know that donuts are not healthy for you lol :)

Driving in maricopa County these days is hell

Especially mesa and Gilbert. All the roads are closed for construction, people are becoming even less patient and very aggressive drivers. I have been seeing at least 2-3 accidents a day for the past couple of weeks. It’s not even worth it go out and go get something to eat or anything because of the unnecessary stress of driving.

After 47 years in AZ I saw my first Coati today.

Recently moved to Sonoita and I am amazed by the wildlife. Had some cats in the barn in the past, so when I heard a noise I was pleasantly surprised to find this little fellow.
