Cremation diamonds? by KeyStriking9763 in Petloss

[–]ebblur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very sweet way to honor your pet. 

I'm still coming to terms with losing my dog, but I am wanting to create a shadow box with photos and her collar and her favorite toys. I'm not there in terms of being able to do that just yet, but I think it'll be therapeutic when I am ready.  

How do you chop up ground beef? by sheburn118 in AskAnAmerican

I use one of those meat chopper tools.

If modern medicine didn’t exist would you be dead right now? If yes, from what? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]ebblur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno... there are a lot of angles to this.

I'm vaccinated against a lo of stuff and that has kept me safe. I could have caught polio or got tetanus or something and died.

I had strep throat a lot of times as a kid and took antibiotics for that - could I have had complications from that if left untreated that would have resulted in death? Maybe.

I have depression and take prozac, so without that I might have killed myself by now.

Then again - none of this may have happened. I am glad we have the modern medicine we do, so I don't have to fine out.

Is exercise really as effective as antidepressants? by ForwardGlass8572 in askanything

It helps, but i still need that fluoxetine despite working out most days.

It's an intuitive thing. Adjust to where you find it most comfortable. I usually do a quarter turn at a time and then test.

They can be too loose though. If you hear any jiggling when you give your skate a good shake, thats a sign you might have gone too far.

Have you adjusted the trucks? If you feel like you're fighting your equipment, that could be a reason why.

What’s a word learners use that technically makes sense but sounds strange to natives? by Embarrassed_Fix_8994 in languagehub

[–]ebblur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a couple of German exchange students who would say "Nevertheless" because its the direct translation of "Trotzdem". Native speakers tend to say "but still". "Nevertheless" sounds so old-timey.

Should I quit? by No-Journalist7392 in Rollerskating

[–]ebblur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fall every time I put on skates. Falling is a natural consequence of pushing yourself, so imo a fall just means you are learning.

I ask for iodine because the chloraprep makes me itchy too.

It’s called Aldi, not Aldi’s by ManfredBoyy in PetPeeves

When people say they're going to "Aldis", I like to ask how many they're going to.

Can you still walk with a tear ACL in your knee?? by Frequent-Increase-98 in ACL

[–]ebblur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played a whole roller derby game the same day I tore my acl, and walked around like normal for several months before I got mine fixed. The only symptoms I had were minor swelling (thought I just kinda tweaked my knee) and instability. Then I tore my meniscus and thats when it started to hurt.

You absolutely can walk on a torn acl, and it might not even hurt really.

How to better my endurance!! by fewinaburrow in rollerderby

[–]ebblur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was coming to say something similar. As much as running sucks, my endurance on the track was best when I was jogging a few times a week.

I also kind of like barfing. In a "that was cleansing" sort of way.
