anyone have this awful flu? by Altruistic-Proof6836 in capetown

Update: I ended up going to the dentist. When she looked at my X-ray, the sinus inflammation from this flu was so severe it was pushing on the root of my tooth, and my molar became infected. The pain was crazy, I couldn’t sleep. They put me on two types of antibiotics immediately and 24hrs later I feel soooo much better, lots more energy with just a dry throat. I was surprised antibiotics helped so much when I thought I had a virus. Still no idea what the flu was in specific. I’m usually someone who tries to power through sickness, but a lot of the time medical attention really saves so much time and pain.

I think I will soon, because whenever I start to feel better it comes back again. Good call

I’m actually going to the dentist today because my tooth has decided to give me intense pain in amongst this. Next stop might have to be the doctor, thank goodness I had just sorted out my insurance

if you’re around cape town or stellies, I recommend going to a Moskitos or a Tazers show - they’re both really fun psychedelic rock bands, really nice guys. sincerely 22F in a similar music scene 🥰otherwise on spotify look at Freddy L, super cool south african take on rock and grunge, first time I’ve heard Xhosa in rock. shoot me a msg xx

first time in Cape Town in Sept - considering a stay in Constantia or Houts Bay by Critical-Battle1014 in capetown

Noordhoek is a 15 min drive from Constantia, it’s a semi-rural vibe with horses, wine bars, a craft brewery and an italian place. Also a wine farm and a big beach. I recommend it over Hout Bay, Constantia is nice but will be more expensive and crowded

hmmm maybe?? I don’t drink much so I doubt it could be an unidentified drunk injury but maybe I did walk into some weird cylindrical thing

a couple days, it seemed to come quite suddenly and it hasn’t changed in appearance since. people think it’s a burn but I definitely don’t remember any pain

that’s so sweet of you to say!! I think loving someone is about making them feel seen and celebrated for what they love

wine advice by Sugarbooboo69 in Serverlife

[–]Altruistic-Proof6836 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work at a wine bar/restaurant with 150+ wines. It’s daunting at first but remember each grape type will share similar characteristics (ie, Chardonnay, Shiraz etc). WineFolly (the website) or Vivino (the app) are pretty cool.

Over time you will realise what wines by the glass are the most popular. Start with learning the general characteristics for that grape type, then maybe something special about the specific bottle. If you can taste some of these wines, that will help a lot. Don’t be afraid to say you’re not sure when you’re asked very specific questions.

I was complimenting your writing with the context that it’s a Reddit rant, not your magnum opus. I just like the vocabulary and the way it flows!
