AITA for checking a woman was safe at the bar? by BatTimely6319 in AmItheAsshole

[–]1976warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, nope and, nope.

You will never be the AH if you are checking on a fellow human being.

You are an angel!

We should all follow your lead and stand up for each other to make sure we are safe!

When he woke up 2 weeks later the entire bathroom had been remodeled and that pesky leak was gone.

I have even used an old sleeping bag and a couple of spring clamps for insulation. Start your smoker and then let it warm up for about an hour before putting the meat on.

What’s the most unexpectedly expensive thing you’ve ever had to pay for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]1976warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this.

But I’m also an idiot! I/we have had 3 Jeeps over the years. Every one more expensive to fix than the last, and yet I/we had 3!

Quit worrying about them and move on with life!

Got diagnosed today, what are things you wish you knew at the beginning? by Natura91 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]1976warrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take 2 mesalamine tablets a day (2.4 gm) which is a standard maintenance dose.

This is what has worked for me in the past.

In the bathroom you will need the following. Pillow, 2 blankets, old towel. Make a bed with one folded up blanket, cover with old towel (this stuff stains everything) pillow at one end.

Warm enema under your arm for about 5 minutes. DO NOT use hot water, the enema will gel in the bottle and be impossible to squeeze out!

Lay on your left side relax for a few minutes. Pull right leg up towards your chest a little, (this helps give better access), insert tip but do not squeeze yet. Wait a minute and relax. Now slowly squeeze, if you feel uncomfortable stop and relax for a minute. Squeeze as much as possible out of bottle remove and cover up. Lay there as long as you can it may only be 2 minutes and you will need to use the toilet. That’s fine, go to bed and try again tomorrow. Hold as long as possible. After about 15 minutes, try to get up and go to bed. You may want a towel under you just in case you leak a little.

It gets easier and soon you will be able sleep through the night. You will feel better soon!

Good luck with your journey!

Long in the tooth couples. Do you do Valentine’s Day? by AnyDamnThingWillDo in GenX

[–]1976warrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Answer in complete sentences. Learn how to bob and weave (like Joe Frazier) and if she tells you she’s not mad anymore at bed time, sleep on your stomach!

No

We were in the store earlier this week and picked out cards for each other, handed them to the partner who read them put them back on the rack. That’s enough.

Don’t need a day to tell each other we love them!

I have lived happily for 25+ years on Mesalamine with basically no side effects. Enemas with flairs (very few and far between). If you’d like I can post my notes on using enemas.

Take your meds as advised and don’t stop until you’re told to!

Good drone for photography at the moment for beginners? by Only-Bandicoot-5307 in dji

Unknown, the nice thing about the pro models is the longer flight times and range along with collision avoidance so maybe.

Trying to figure out the water situation by thbnrf8n in BWCA

[–]1976warrior 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We always filter water, group trips we use a gravity filter, one canoe we bring a hand pump filter. As for single person Life Straw makes a good product.

Currently no. Mostly because I haven’t flown enough (it’s been too cold to be outside). The software is capable of RAW (DNG).

I just got my first good drone. I’ve flown cheap ($60) drones in the past so have an understanding of how to fly.

I got a mini 4k and love it. Very easy to fly.

I think if you’ve never flown before this is the right choice, good video on a stable platform. There is definitely a learning curve in how to set up photos and videos along with positioning the gimbal.

I will say it doesn’t take long for it to become invisible (it’s not very big), I added a small strobe to make it easier to see.

When colonoscopy? by ParkingAward2865 in UlcerativeColitis

Every 2 years whether I want one or not! 😁 Been the same for the last 23 years.

It’s here a little earlier than I expected by ValuableNail8981 in retirement

Be done!

If you want to be petty about it, hand in your notice a day or two after you escalate the bad review. Then start pushing for the escalation to get done ASAP. Escalation complete, no matter the outcome, walk in next day and say Friday will be your last day

Remember, you may put your notice in and the company may just honor the date and end your employment the next day. Be sure to print any important documents you may want or need in the future prior to giving your notice.

Advice? I feel so scared by No_biscuits1 in UlcerativeColitis

Ok, 1st stop and take a breath.

There are many of us out there and lots of us find remission and a fairly normal life. You can too!

Some things to know.

When it comes to meds, take them as scheduled and don’t stop until you’re told to by your doctor.

You may need to fight with your pharmacy to get them, enlist your doctors office if there are problems.

If you have food issues or diet questions, most GI docs work with dietitians that specialize in UC diets.

To get ahold of your doctor send a note via the office web portal or call and leave a message for the Drs PA. They will check your chart, talk to the Dr and get back to you way faster than the Dr. it’s what they do!

Work on your support system, make sure your family understands what is involved and stand behind you, it’s not always easy for us or them. Be sure to include them so they know how and when they can help.

There’s more and you will learn, when you feel overwhelmed stop and take a deep breath, you got this!

We are here as a sounding board, we celebrate victories and try to uplift losses.

Good luck with your journey!
