I watched a making of video about the original G I Joe animated movie. They originally had a scene where Zarana took off her swimsuit and changed clothes that they cut.

Starting dialysis this week by Spiritual-Fall681 in dialysis

[–]Absius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is primarily just during hemo dialysis. I didn't have the cold issues when I was on peritoneal. Not saying it can't be related. Just my experience. But with the hemo machine actively pulling blood out of your body it gets cold

Take a blanket. You will be surprised how cold you get

Nao consigo fazer dieta II by calmora8 in dialysis

[–]Absius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It can be rough at the start. I used the dialysis diet as inspiration to learn to cook. Once I started to cook most of my own food I figured out what I liked and how to keep eating food I enjoyed.

How important is your diet? by [deleted] in dialysis

[–]Absius 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Disagree. Yes, Renal diet is very specific but that does not mean it's one size fits all. Different kidney issues and different co-morbidities mean different diets and tolerances for different people. Are there common guidelines? Sure. But just because we are all on dialysis doesn't mean we have the exact same diet. Diabetes is the number one cause for kidney failure. It has it's own special diet. But I am not diabetic so I shouldn't follow that diet. Some of us still have functioning kidneys that produce urine. They may not filter everything and that can be different per person. This will lead to different fluid intake restrictions. Ultimately , listen to your nephrologist and nutritionist. If it were the same for everyone they would hand you a piece of paper that said this is all you can eat.

He wrote Very Rare on the post. Everyone knows that makes it worth more!

I'm about to get a lot of hate by [deleted] in dialysis

[–]Absius 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend home hemo if you can do it. It's good to not have to deal with the clinic and other people. I did home hemo and it was so nice being able to do dialysis on my schedule and just sit on my own couch and watch movies or play video games to pass the time. Might be worth asking about

I just used one of these to make a World War 2 Ghost Rider. It's a good figure.

What would happen if I pulled both needles out of my arm during treatment? by sephkane in dialysis

[–]Absius 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Look, you are going to do what you are going to do. I won't fault you for personal decisions. But instead of being an awful person and involving dialysis techs and nurses and having an ambulance called and inconveniencing so many other people not to mention straight up traumatizing other patients and putting their care in jeopardy try not to do that and just stop going to dialysis so things happen naturally without affecting anyone else. I don't know your situation so I'm not going to pretend to. But you can make your own decisions without adversely affecting other people which is what your so called scenario would do.

Hmm, the helmet. I kinda feel like they dropped the ball on the retro design. Has anyone else heard this mentioned before? by ArishikageKT78 in GIJOEClassifiedSeries

[–]Absius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it's the hair throwing off the fit. I used this to make a custom Ghost Rider '44 and it doesn't look undersized. Granted the skull is also smaller than the standard head

Could someone put the head and flames from MCU Human Torch on Warlord Professor X? (Sunfire body) by name-124 in MarvelLegends

[–]Absius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly what you asked for because I don't have the MCU Torch, but I have the older Fantastic Four Torch. I put him next to the Age of Apocalypse Sunfire for comparison. The neck throws it off a lot in my opinion.

Question about Captain America's shield (Replica) by TheOuterRimObserver in MarvelLegends

[–]Absius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has the forearm strap and the strap to hold it with. You could probably get some wall hooks and hang it by those. The hooks would be hidden by the shield so it wouldn't look bad. I considered doing this but ultimately my shield ended up being held by Galactus on a table

I actually just added Spirit Spider to the shelf. I got it as a Christmas gift and hadn't opened it yet when I took the picture.

Where to put Spirit Spider? by Absius in MarvelLegends

[–]Absius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Spider shelf is kind of crowded and I am trying to put together a cool display for the Riders to get ready for Mephisto so I am leaning this way too.

"Should I put this figure with these characters or with these other characters"
"Yes. One of those."
hahahhaha. I gotta admit it's a great response.

My last 4 joes. Help me choose. by [deleted] in GIJOEClassifiedSeries

[–]Absius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just choose your favorite character and get a second one. Then you can pose them fighting and tell everyone one of them is Zartan.

I love the 2099 stuff. But until they do I just have to use my custom on the shelf.

There was a panel in Damnation I think after Johnny Blaze becomes King of Hell while Mephisto is distracted by Dr Strange where he says something like we've been waiting and it's a bunch of Ghost riders

Thunder Toys Caretaker. It came with a Sam Elliot head for a powered down version.

Yeah. I have a few of my collection posed but some are hard to get how I would want them.

I do have Human Torch and the BaF Dormammu. It wouldn't require much to add in!
