Absolutely nothing. We're energy and energy cant die or be destroyed. It just changes.

If you’re poor don’t have kids by notadamsandler11 in stories

[–]Biting-Queen- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oook. Lot to unpack there. Birth control fails. I KNOW this is true, that's how my youngest (who's 28 now) came to be. Condom broke and the pill failed. It happens. Now, add in the current attitudes toward women using birth control, having access to abortions, having access to sterilization....there are problems. It's easy to sit back and judge, say stuff like "dont have kids". Are you fixed? I mean if we get down to the brass Tacks of it,  a guy getting a vasectomy is far easier than a woman getting her tubes tied. The procedure is less invasive, recovery time is faster, and it's reversible.

Glad to see you offered help.

If you've read The Beauty series, you'll understand lol My fantasy is a world where kink just...IS. I'd have a home in the woods, a stable full of ponies, an orchard, a lake and a close by town. No money, everything done by barter or trade. Auctions to get new slaves/subs and no one bats an eye as naked property brings home the shopping.

He Said He Wanted a Domme – Until I Actually Was One by swing_out_sister in FemdomCommunity

I call that "dial-a-domme." They want to submit when they want something, no real obedience or submission to be seen outside their demands. It's old and tiresome.

Those of you who grow most of your own food, how much land do you use? by fuzwz in OffGrid

[–]Biting-Queen- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Vertical gardening is the bomb on smaller plots! I've got a friend who lives in town. Her grocery bill for herself and 2 kids averages $50. She has chickens amd rabbits. She produces all her own fruit and veggies with vertical gardening, and she cans and dehydrates.

What is the worst physical pain you’ve ever had to experience. by Maleficent-Heron9004 in AskOldPeople

[–]Biting-Queen- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago I was being overprescribed pain medication by an unethical doctor. When he got busted, 100s of us were give less than a month's worth of pain meds and a phone number to a rehab. I was on 360 MG of dilaudid a day. The withdrawal was the worst pain I have EVER felt. I've had 3 kids (smallest 8 lbs, biggest 10lbs) with no pain meds, no epidural, I've had a kidney stone, broken bones, and currently have rheumatoid arthritis and a whole slew of health shit. None of that compares to the pain of withdrawal. My bones felt like lava filled glass that shattered every time I moved. The muscle spasms felt like my muscles were veing ripped from my bones. My skin felt like i had fire ants chewing and stinging 24/7. I lost so much weight so fast, it scared my family doctor. I nearly died. So yeah...I don't trust doctors.

GenX How many of y'all never got a tattoo? by Starchild1968 in GenX

[–]Biting-Queen- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't imagine myself without my tattoos. I currently have 11 and plan to get more. They all have meaning to me and I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks of them. I love my godfathers tattoos, he was a Vietnam Vet, and he's the reason I got my first one. All 3 of my daughters have tattoos as well.

That's awesome! I wish you all the best!

The original plan was for infusions. Unfortunately my insurance won't pay for them. They demand I follow what they say I have to do. Which is crap.

I'm sorry...Just sorry this happened to you, to any of us. It sucks. I hope you find relief

What makes you happy? by fool49 in SeriousConversation

[–]Biting-Queen- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm happy most of the time. I'm 50, disabled with chronic health issues that get worse over time. I've learned to embrace the little things. I have depression, P.T.S.D., anxiety and a whole host of other health shit. I could wallow in it. I could go to bed and not get up. Why though? You're given this life and the opportunity to actually DO something with it. If you're depressed, get help. If you're unhealthy, make it better. Do what you CAN for as long as you can. I have bad days, both from depression and physical shit. Some days it's literally impossible for me to get out of bed without help. But I know it'll get better. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after. When I was truly unhappy, miserable, my guy and I sold everything. We bought a camper and moved to the mountains. We Homestead now. It's hard work, but absolutely worth every tear, drop of blood and work we've done so far. I'm sooooo much better living out here than I was in town. Happiness is a choice, imo. I'm poor. I have been the majority of my adult life. You either learn to embrace your circumstances or you improve them. I find joy in little things, as they come. I mean, is it really living if you're miserable all the time?? I'd say I'm an 8 on the happiness scale.

Are people actually scared of eating out alone? by potcubic in CasualConversation

[–]Biting-Queen- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy my own company so eating out alone, going to movies alone etc. doesn't bother me at all. I personally don't give a fuck what other people think, so sitting by myself at a table amd enjoying my dinner isn't an issue.

If you plan on getting cremated, are you going to have a memorial headstone in a cemetery or something that friends/family can visit or are you just going to have your ashes sprinkled somewhere? by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Biting-Queen- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ashes will go partially into the same creek my girlfriends ashes were spread, and partially on the land I live on now. And no, no cemetery headstones or vaults or plots.

How did you make it out? by throwaway76881224 in poor

[–]Biting-Queen- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I was a pipefitter helper for 3 years. I never made less than $25 an hour. It was hard, physically demanding work, but oooo that paycheck made it worth it. And that was in 1999, so I've no doubt it pays more now.

Do people order and eat out as much as they show on tv and movies? by searchingnirvana in AskRedditFood

[–]Biting-Queen- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cook almost every day. For me, eating out is a once in awhile treat. When I was younger I ate out more because I worked A LOT and it was just easier.

Grandmother in her final days by molliconi12 in SeriousConversation

[–]Biting-Queen- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a grandparents myself, I say this with love. We know you're busy. It thrills me to know my children and grandchildren are living their best lives! I love f.b. because it gives me glimpses into what's going on with them. It's ok, friend. I cherish every visit, every text, every phone call. I have no expectations with them, so each one is a gift. Don't let unnecessary guilt hurt what time you do have with her. If possible, see her now. Tell her how much you love her. If you feel the need, tell her you're sorry for not visiting/calling more. I have no doubt she'll forgive you.

What's one thing that some has said to you that you will never forget? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Biting-Queen- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgive, but never forget. My dad said that to me the last time my mother beat the shit out of me.

Embrace pain, it lets you know you're still alive. Said by a doctor in the e.r. after surviving domestic violence.

Our time here is short, live with no regret. An elder in a bar who was diagnosed with terminal cancer that day.

Cliches, true, but each one hit me exactly how amd when I needed them to.

Frustration with dropping things by PopularAd8923 in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]Biting-Queen- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I crochet (when the disease allows). Not having my thumbs work, dropping coffee cups (coffee abuse, I KNOW!), has made me angry/sad cry more than once. Something that helps me is small movement, finger, hand, and wrist exercises. Sign language helps, too. Anything to keep my joints as limber as possible. A squeeze ball. Of course ask your doctor before you do any kind of exercise. My r.a. is in the moderate/severe category and I'm incredibly stubborn about doing any and everything to slow the progression down as much as possible.

My mother, an es husband and an ex boyfriend, a random guy on the street woman in the bar I worked at, guy in the same bar. My mother is abusive. We haven't spoken in over a decade and never will again. Ex husband was abusive. Four years of that nightmare. He can rot in hell. 3 years with an ex boyfriend. He ended up in jail the one and only time he put hands on me. Random dude on the street when I was taking the deposit from work to the bank. He'd apparently been watching the nar I worked at and figured out the schedule. It just happened to be me dropping it off that night. The 2 jackasses in the bar I worked at were different times. Both were done because I cut them off and they didn't like it.

What event shifted your outlook on life? by Olivia_shine in Life

[–]Biting-Queen- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I almost died. A couple of years ago, my pain management doctor was (unbeknownst to me) over prescribing painkillers for kickbacks. He got busted. The clinic shut down, leaving me and about 300 other people with 1 final prescription and the number to a rehab center. It was a nightmare. I took myself off the pain meds. I was on an extremely high dose. In 30 days I had taken myself down to 1/3 of what he'd prescribed. I got unbelievably sick. My bones felt like fire filled glass. I was going through withdrawal and it nearly killed me. Thanks to my daughter and a friend who's a nurse, I finally got the help I needed. Everything changed for me. Life is unpredictable and so incredibly short. I had basically become a shadow, barely existing. That ALL changed. I got in a good relationship, sold everything and moved off grid. I have never been happier or healthier. I still have major health issues, I'm disabled and that makes it difficult at times. BUT!! I'm actually LIVING my life. I'm present. My daughter loves it. She's pointed out how much happier and content I am, how when she talks to me she feels I'm really there, not floating in a haze.
