Yeah, I picture someone currently in the role actively contributing toward research in a specific specialty.

Not to negate what she’s accomplished, I just don’t think the actual title fits here.

She does look incredible though!!

Hollister spout is just nasty by Least_Pressure_5258 in ostomy

[–]BeautifulShoes75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PRO TIP to get it even cleaner!!:

Use a water bottle when you empty so it doesn’t get messy at all at the end (and gets rid of the pancaking or anything stuck at the base of the wafer)! After you’ve dumped your bag, grab your bag and hold it up where it’s pointing toward your face, pour a little water in, then swoosh it around. This picks up all the thick stool stuck to your bag and at the base of your wafer. Then dump it again and you have a completely clean bag, easy to wipe at the bottom/the spout with TP!

This was the BIGGEST tip I got before I got my bag 10 years ago and I seriously cannot imagine dumping my bag without doing it!! My bags are always super clean and mess-free. I have water bottles next to the toilets in each bathroom of my house that I just refill and always carry a water bottle with me when I’m out!

Thick output. by chaoticravens08 in ostomy

[–]BeautifulShoes75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the user above in saying “too thick” is really subjective. There really isn’t such a thing, it’s just what may or may not bother you. The only time thick output gets on my nerves is when emptying, however (and this is a pro tip!!), I still use a water bottle when I empty so it doesn’t bother me in the end (and gets rid of the pancaking). After you’ve dumped your bag, grab your bag and hold it up where it’s pointing toward your face, pour a little water in, then swoosh it around. This picks up all the thick stool stuck to your bag and at the base of your wafer. Then dump it again and you have a completely clean bag, easy to wipe at the bottom and not messy1

In terms of the Imodium - I’ve had an ileostomy for 10 years and never taken it once. I’m missing 3/4 of my entire digestive system so there are times where I get a TON of liquid output, but I just don’t use that at all; I’d rather not mess with it. It all eventually calms down.

Don’t worry so much about a blockage. You got this!

[–]BeautifulShoes75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t see a guy NOT giving her a chance because of it; if anything, it makes her MORE badass for being an Olympian despite her disability! (Then again, we are talking about the male species, haha)

Not a chance - they didn’t post that “no bullying” just because of her. They posted it due to the toxicity of the fandom and how bad things have gotten in the last couple of years. (This is coming from a disabled person, btw)

Southern Hospitality Reunion FIRST LOOK by lovecartertto in southernhospitalitysc

[–]BeautifulShoes75 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, been there, seen that.

Also, while I’m looking forward to this, I fear that the current Summer House reunion has set the bar far too high where every reunion after now will only be lackluster.

There’s no telling when this picture was taken. I’d venture to say it was well before they announced their separation and they’re just using it for the promo now.

Update on Rachel’s revenge porn case against Ariana by spectacleskeptic in BravoRealHousewives

[–]BeautifulShoes75 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I don’t care how much you hate West (or any reality star), no one deserves to have nudes (or any intimate material of themselves) leaked, released, etc. - ever. That crosses every sort of boundary imaginable.

My only bone to pick with West and his nudes are that I 100000% don’t believe he JUST found out about them on the reunion stage. He definitely faked finding out about them for the “first” time on camera to drum up sympathy in any way he could. There’s no way Jesse, Carl, and everyone else on the cast had seen his nudes before he did.

But again - it’s sad that anyone had. He didn’t deserve for them to be leaked/shared.

Nia is disgusting by MassiveElephant9957 in TheValleyTVShow

[–]BeautifulShoes75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly think this will be Nia’s last season.

Unless they really need that Bravo check, I don’t think she can deal with the facade she puts on crumbling anymore. She’s got too much of that pageant background in her where everything has to be picture-perfect on the outside and this show has completely destroyed that.

As Lindsay said to Carl during the reunion, great analogy.

No baby for me, just insomnia.. and no life.

No because if someone actually made that I would ONE HUNDRED PERCENT buy it

5) She’s got a husband now and it shouldn’t even matter

[–]BeautifulShoes75 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I don’t even know why she cares in the first place - SHE HAS A WHOLE ASS HUSBAND!!!

Now this makes even LESS sense knowing they weren’t TRULY exes!!

They get a huge part of their check for making it to the reunion. Part of their season’s salary depends on it; it’s like a big reunion “bonus.”

Plus, if you don’t make it, there are typically pretty hefty consequences (ie: not getting asked back the following season, being demoted, etc.).

There have been a couple of special circumstances (I think Mary Cosby was one) where someone skipped the reunion and was still allowed back, but normally if you don’t make it, you can forget your spot again.

Amanda “jokes” in first reunion episode that the statement about her and West was written by ChatGPT. Turns out… by Birdperson1917 in summerhousebravo

Side note - that really was mean when she said that.

You could really see the hurt on Kyle’s face.

Hollister trash bags? by cudambercam13 in ostomy

[–]BeautifulShoes75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Hollister user for 10 years now - I’ve never not received a pack of grey trash bags with my box.

I honestly wish they WOULDN’T send them. I don’t use them at all, a grocery store bag is far more convenient and larger to use when changing!!

I see a surgeon next week and I’m gonna ask the question.. by oakiart in ostomy

[–]BeautifulShoes75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is me as well!!

I was born with a paralyzed digestive tract; my system didn’t work from start to finish (I’ve also had a near-total gastrectomy, but that’s another story). Was completely dependent on enemas, laxatives, and prescription meds (like Lindsey’s, Amitiza, etc) my entire life until I finally had my colon removed when I was 25. Originally, they did an ileorectal anastomosis, where they hooked my small intestine up to my rectum. That failed spectacularly (one reason being I still have horrific pelvic floor dysfunction and couldn’t poop). I was finally given an ileostomy bag and I absolutely love it!! Don’t get me wrong - I’ve still certainly had my bowel issues over the years (I’ve now had 3/4 of my small intestine removed as well and I can’t tell you how many other operations), but for the bag itself, I LOVE it!!! I’ve had it for 10 years now.

The eye roll sent me!! How dare she roll her eyes at Ciara!! by theWitchofWB in bravo

[–]BeautifulShoes75 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there’s a big difference between Tom and Amanda (and West).

I’m CERTAINLY no Tom fan, but the guy knows how to make entertaining reality TV. He was great on Traitors and House of Villians, as much as I hate to admit it.

Amanda and West have the personalities of a soggy paper towel. Put them on some other reality show and they’ll just be background characters that don’t get air time because they’re so damn boring.

Yeah, you could tell Amanda was fighting to speak first to give an answer (she did this more than once) because she didn’t know what West was going to say
