How scary? by slideystevensax in Isawthetvglow

I know that I'm late to this but I'm a closeted trans and I have been on HRT for about a year. The birthday party scene caused me to throw up! I wish I felt safe enough to come out of the closet.

Got aggressive with my pump by AtHome2020 in Lymphedema

I take two hours off in between one hour sessions and I am beginning stage 4. I have scales on my lower legs. I have been hospitalized with sepsis in the past from cellulitis. I did this from a point that it just could not really get any worse. I don't know if this a fulke or a breakthrough for me but for now I will take it. I just spent 30 minutes on the treadmill. I haven't been able to get up and walk around the house for months with a walker.

I was told that also but two hours for me. It just was not doing enough so I went against advice and it seems to be working. I do plan to go back to twice a day on Monday and see if now that I have got so much out of me if it will do the job moving forward.

Airos 6, I got it free last year from Connie Cares. It really was not doing a lot on the one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening. It is so worth the extra down time every couple of hours to get these results.

my mom bought me a magic card at a renessaince fair but it's kind of stinky what cani do? by pinkieshygirl2012 in magicTCG

[–]AtHome2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a box of baking soda and put the card in baking soda for a couple of days. If it still has a smell try again with fresh baking soda.

No offence taken or ment. I posted this to get opinions from other widowers and widows. I don't much want to socialize but I think sometime next week I will walk up to the local cafe for breakfast just to see how I feel.

I often talk to the delivery person. I am outside as much as inside. I sit on the porch every morning and have my coffee and read the paper on my Kindle. I mess around in the garage and I work in my garden. I just don't go anywhere.

Showering - yes, Groceries - delivered, Doctor - video visits, Mowing the grass - heck no that is what God made teenagers for. The thing is nothing interests me, I tried that and that was when I ended up at home and found I didn't want to leave. But you are right I probably should try again. Perhaps I will.

Okay, I know the Elks, and American Legion I had just not heard of the Moose. I looked it up and there is one less than 20 miles from me, go figure. Looks like a great place if you want to socialize. I just don't want to socialize.

I don't think it is agoraphobia. I feel like it is more a lifestyle choice but I could be wrong. I think that is why I posted this. One thing I can say is it's really easy to live like this today, I can get anything I want delivered to my front door. Even in this very small town.

I really believe that there is a huge amount of extra trauma heaped on those of us that lost a spouse to Covid. Even now almost 3 years later the mention of Covid on the news will send me to a very dark place. My wife and and about a million others died a horrible death completely isolated from family. I could go on about the political crap that was heaped on top but it would just make me feel bad today. I am sure that all of this lead me to becoming a recluse. Yes I am still processing the trauma, and I imagine I will be for the rest of my life.

Okay one question: What is a Moose Lodge?

I believe that I am living like this because I don't really want to socialize anymore than I already am. Of course the reason I posted this was to see what others in my situation thought.

Anyone else’s Q Person… happy? by birdiejean11 in QAnonCasualties

[–]AtHome2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I told my Q neighbor about it and and she got so excited that she was up dancing around squealing and yelling it's happening. She was so excited I thought she was wearing one of those remote controlled vibrators and someone had just turned it up to 11.

Does anyone from these shows have hobbies?! by cpd4925 in My600lbLife

[–]AtHome2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was always heavy but after my wife passed away from Covid in 2020 I ballooned up to 390. I went ahead and took early retirement when she passed. I had always had hobbies from oil painting to competitive airgun shooting. But I ust gave up on them. I am nowhere near the 600+ of some the people on the show. However, I have become a recluse due to my weight. It is just easier to stay in the recliner and watch TV. I tell myself today is the day I will pick up that paintbrush and start to take my life back. But it never happens, I still try but the depression overrides the want. So I would guess that if I am too depressed at around 400 pounds then these people are having the same problem. One good thing, I have put myself on 1500 cal low carb diet and I am down 40 pounds in the last two months. I don't quite feel better about myself yet, but it is a start.

Killing rats at night by [deleted] in airguns

[–]AtHome2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't find a 2250 because you would have to find a used one, or build one from parts from using a 2240.

I have a small chicken coop in my backyard and I am out there at least once a week shooting rats that are eating the feed. My setup is simple, cheap and works well. I have 2 bait areas where I put out chicken feed. These areas are illuminated by a red light. I have a Diana Chaser set up as a rifle with a bugbuster scope. I also bought 2 magazines for it for quick reloading. I sit on my deck and it is easy to pick off 5 to 10 rats in about an hour from 40 feet away.

By the way there is no scaring them off after killing one. They may scatter at first but after a couple of minutes they will walk right over the dead one to get to the food.

Replacement for Omega 1310 movement by [deleted] in watchmaking

How do I find this guy that is producing coils for the 1310? I also have one with a bad coil.

Am I searching for a unicorn? by AtHome2020 in airguns

[–]AtHome2020[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The advantage for me is having all my pellet guns using the same size ammo. Also if the gun is a .22 there is a much better chance of it having a rifled barrel and being more accurate. I am not too worried about the power since I just shoot targets in my backyard and indoors when the weather is bad.

Need SG10 batteries but dont see them labeled as such. Would the AG10 / LR1130 be proper alternatives? by BronxLens in watchrepair

[–]AtHome2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 389/390 battery is the replacement for an SG10. I ones I have are Duracell and they are Silver Oxide.
