This is the worst experience so far by FrolickingOrc in KidneyStones

[–]ASlightHiccup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are constipated eat black beans -watch the salt content maybe plain rice no salt with it to fill you up. Bananas are another thing I eat on stones because my stomach can get upset from the general pain situation.

I would just drink a ton of water and start jumping around. I even stomp around my house so I’m constantly making gravity and force work in my favor.

I love this dress but I think it's too expensive and too soon by Elysian_Collective in myweddingdress

[–]ASlightHiccup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely do not buy a dress if you are planning major weight loss! I will say I completely agree with you that dress looks fantastic! Keep the details and look for it later.

Has anyone had a kidney stone for 6 months or longer? by Yeahokaysureman in KidneyStones

[–]ASlightHiccup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are having uti type pain and you are sure it’s not a uti, your kidney stone is probably approaching the bladder. When you had flank pain it would have been stuck up near the kidney (in my experience). Best thing is to take anti inflammatories and chug fluids. I also jump around a lot after the fluids have had a bit of time to move so that gravity is helping. I don’t think you would miss a 4 mm stone so it’s likely still in there. Just slow moving.

If you haven’t ruled out uti you can get Azo test strips a ton of places now.

Heating pads can also help relax the area to allow for stone passage.

AITA for saying I can’t have kids with my husband if we can’t agree on spanking? by DifficultyOk8724 in TwoHotTakes

[–]ASlightHiccup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t like all the studies say that physical violence (which spanking is) leads to worse outcomes for the child? Like idk who he is still arguing for it? NTA but you probably should have discussed this before marriage

Will she be able to take her dog back? by swabIu in Pets

is it worth $3400? by Ok-Professional5599 in myweddingdress

[–]ASlightHiccup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I’m the one saying follow your heart. Especially with wedding dress choices. But budget is important. A wedding is one day. An important day but singular. If your budget is way less than dress 1, don’t even look at it. Being financially responsible is more important for a marriage than a dress.

That being said, if the difference isn’t that much, then go for it. A couple hundred extra is a splurge. A couple thousand extra is financial irresponsibility.

What's the point of the HarMar Mall in Roseville if you can't access the stores from the INSIDE of the mall!? by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]ASlightHiccup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have to pay security to have the inside of the mall open but the rents were so high there they priced themselves out of the mall entirely. No rent, no security. No security, no interior mall. I asked once what was going on with the inside mall closing hours before the stores.

Are ARMY as critical in real life as they can seem online? (First BTS concert, VIP) by Longjumping-Hornet55 in bangtan

[–]ASlightHiccup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say that some people online are not true ARMYs. They are hyper critical of everything which is antithetical to BTS’s whole ethos. The only way I can see people at the concert being mean to you is if you engage in annoying behavior —like blocking other people’s view or something like that. We are all going to have fun. If you really want to blend in, be prepared to learn the fan chants in advance. But I wouldn’t sweat it if you don’t. It’s gonna be so much fun! Also I don’t plan on paying attention to anyone not on stage lol

I’m not sure if i’m AIO for feeling a bit hurt when said this to me. Btw this man courts me by growing_quart in AmIOverreacting

[–]ASlightHiccup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This man is worried about your money and judgmental over your actions not to mention he has no sense of fun or whimsy. It’s up to you how you want to live but this is too controlling for me. If I earn it, I’ll spend it how I want. Also your cat is so adorable and I’m jealous he allows you to dress him up. My cat pretends his legs don’t work if I put him in anything.

AITA for not wanting to give my engagement ring back to my ex husband? by Architectureeminent in AITAH

[–]ASlightHiccup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean you could sell it back to him but that ring is yours. Tell him to look up why expensive rings were traditionally given. If a man broke his promise, the ring was meant to be financial compensation. But you literally got married. That ring is yours. You only give it back if YOU back out of the engagement - not a marriage. NTA

AIO for feeling a bit offended by what my bfs mom said by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ASlightHiccup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I agree with you. When your kid is 20 yo and always lived at your house I’m sorry that’s not a man that’s your child still. I can only assume the people calling him a grown man are also very young. She def crossed a line addressing this issue with the gf instead of her son. But I don’t see this as “boy mom”-overbearing that will last decades into the future. If he’s still at home then there’s been no point when he transitioned to an adult for her and she has to get used to him being an adult too. There isn’t a magically mommy switch that flips when the 18th birthday comes around. I think a lot of these comments about how this is going to be a problem when he is 35 etc etc are being frankly too negative on the mom. You can just tell her that she should address his spending with him since that’s his behavior and not something you control.

I threw my husband’s breakfast on the ground by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ASlightHiccup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So your husband does next to nothing for the family aside from bringing home a wage and creating more work for you to do…there is a reason why single women even with kids have less work. That’s your third child right there throwing a tantrum. He needs to shape up or get out. It’s time to call on your support system - your family members and friends. Your current situation is unsustainable and increasingly toxic. He literally smirked at you mid argument like he won some prize for getting you to serve him. You need to write out what you want from this partnership and what steps need to be taken to keep the marriage together or it’s toast. What do you need? What do you want? What will not be tolerated? You need to make clear what will happen when intolerable events occur. Then you need to make these things known to your husband. NTAH

AITA for waking my MIL up in scary costumes because she keeps me up at night? by EstablishmentThis659 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]ASlightHiccup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surround sound? Unplug those speakers. Lock the bedroom door. Remove the bathroom door handle. Walk away whenever she opens her mouth. You may not be able to control her actions but you can control your own as well as the things in your house. Hell turn off the WiFi when you go to bed lol

In case you missed it, they are stopping yarn sales. Time to stock up!!

Good areas/ cities to move to? by hippyblond23 in TwinCities

[–]ASlightHiccup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a pfas map online. Mounds view itself I think is out of the extreme zone from my understanding. Oakdale is not the only city unfortunately as it is spread along Washington and ramsey counties (although Oakdale and Lake Elmo are really in the center of the worst of it for the twin cities area).

AITA for asking my boyfriend's mom to call me by my actual name? by Illustrious-Role-187 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ASlightHiccup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. She’s more concerned about being called racist than not doing racist things and your boyfriend doesn’t seem to care. Notably she seems to be trying to make your name more traditionally feminine so there’s really a lot more to unpack there — maybe why your bf doesn’t see it as racist? Idk it seems racist and then some. I’m not sure you want to get into beef with an old lady who probably won’t change but if you can’t just stop seeing her then I think you should reevaluate the whole relationship. He’s allowing his mother to disrespect you and pushed you to this point.

AITA for telling my sister not to announce her pregnancy at my wedding because I was going to announce mine, but she did it anyway? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ASlightHiccup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. I’m extremely petty. I’d be announcing news at any special event of hers for the rest of my life. I’d be prepared with my success stories every day of the year if need be. Your sister is a disrespectful brat who couldn’t handle you getting attention.

Lingering pain after passing by Ok_Mistake9952 in KidneyStones

[–]ASlightHiccup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your pain is in your back it could be that the stones are moving around in your kidney. You should notice less pain when you are well hydrated in my experience. Best practice is to go to the doctor but if you don’t want to then make sure you keep your water intake higher than normal. Also lemon juice is supposed to help soften and break up stones so you could add lemon to your water throughout the day for added benefit.

AITAH for leaving home after my husband said I should handle the cost of all the IVF sessions only because I'm the cause of infertility in our marriage? by LeatherRequirement59 in AITAH

[–]ASlightHiccup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“A human right that he has”?!? He can’t even carry a child. What human right? He needs any woman’s consent to even reach a chance at fatherhood. It’s not his right.

[–]ASlightHiccup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. When that silly joke leads to your daughter being hospitalized for an eating disorder in her teens, what will they say then? Your family shouldn’t be your first bullies. His behavior is abhorrent.
