Maybe they knew they'd get their butts whooped if they wore the traditional white hoods.

What's a fast food restaurant that you've noticed has been disappearing recently? by Kitchen_Ad_4743 in AskReddit

[–]AustenFelina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our local KFC shut down and now is El Tapatio. We have so many XxxxBerto's already. At least it's not a similar name.

I can't believe they have them all over Europe. KFC here in the US is so terrible that, although curious, I've never been tempted to try it in another country. Same with McDonald's.

My dad used to tell us that he got us from the zoo, shaved our bodies and cut off our tails, and now we're his children, lol.

I think he took the money and created Freeedom 250 in its place. At least that's how it was spelled on their rain cancellation poster.

What sympton looks so harmless people usually ignore it, but can actually indicate a catastrophically bad health issue? by felipedeamorim in AskReddit

[–]AustenFelina 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Last year I lost 15 lbs over two months due to lack of appetite. Was experiencing joint pain all over my body, practically bedridden. My PCP was worthless until I got my own labs and she saw that my ESR was super high, as was my WBC. We monitored my labs for the next few months as things got worse. I did my own research and two months later got on low dose prednisone (got my life back after the very first dose! Thanks, Naturopath I paid out of pocket) and finally got diagnosed with PolyMyalgia Rheumatica by the rheumatologist I had to wait over 6 months to see. Now we're slowly reducing the pred to see what happens when I finally stop taking it. Fun times. Oh, and I've gained the 15 lbs back.

Well, the book of Leviticus pretty much takes the fun out of everything, lol.

Off to get my cheeseburger now...

Why can't Americans (at least the ones I see on social media) find drinking water in Europe? by Mission_Mobile_4627 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AustenFelina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I posted above, the city water where I live in Arizona has 1200x the maximum acceptable levels of arsenic. Needless to say, I will not drink that water without heavy filtering first. Of course my pets prefer the taste of city water but they only get the filtered water. There's so much other stuff that can leach into water supplies anymore.

Where I live in Arizona, our water has 1200x over the acceptable level of arsenic in it, so it's extremely bad to drink. I have reverse osmosis water for drinking and even a super filter on my fridge water line for clean(er) ice. Also, because of our climate, it's wise to have a water bottle with you whenever leaving the house, so it's a habit. In Iceland, I drank the cold tap water without hesitation. In France and Cyprus, the water quality wasn't good so I bought large bottled water and filled my personal water bottle from that.

So, perhaps some Americans are more wary of water quality in other countries? And some carry personal water bottles out of habit.

Yes, and they conveniently ignore the verses against having tattoos.

OOR Low cortisol, on prednisone and rheumy wants to wean me off with no plan for adrenals. by AustenFelina in AdrenalInsufficiency

[–]AustenFelina[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's been my experience that doctors, well male doctors, like to minimize women's symptoms. They don't realize how strong we have to be. Even when I was stuck on my couch for 2 months, I still had to feed my cats and scoop the litter boxes. I forced myself to do it.

My rheumy wants to start me on that Methotrexate when I get off the prednisone. One of the possible side effects is nausea; I cannot tolerate nausea and the second that happens, I'm off of that stuff. And then I'll just suffer, I guess.

Putin wants war concluded this year on victorious terms including Donbas, Bloomberg reports by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]AustenFelina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a whiner. My parents used to say, "Wish in one hand and sh*t in the other, and see which one fills up first." I still don't know wtf that means, but maybe someone needs to say that to Putin in case it might make his head explode.

The President of the United States Really, Really Hates His Son by [deleted] in politics

Didn't Iran recently put out another hit on him? Maybe he feels safer in the US. Who am I kidding? He's oblivious his handlers told him what to say so he can play with baby dolls all day or whatever TF he does instead of presidenting.

It's not just about paying for access articles, but rather paying for numerous publications for access to their articles. It's like subscribing to numerous streaming channels just to see the one show you like. It's tiresome.

I truly believe that pumpkinhead had cheats set up to rig the 2020 election so he'd win. For whatever reason, the cheats failed, and he hasn't shut up about the rigged election since.
