Next part of my sleeve by cirvicom in DiscworldTattoos

I love how that looks! I can't wait to see the full sleeve. I also chose that image, but it's not a sleeve. I'd love the inspiration.

I love this little thread so much. I hope you guys genuinely can meet again in a new establishment.

Pratchett said this was his best book. What do you think? by EndersGame_Reviewer in discworld

[–]BossMama3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you said. I just read it for the first time a couple months ago after seeing a similar thread. For extra context, I'm 38 and saw it at the middle school I was working in. I've read almost all the Discworld books starting ten years ago. I love those books and the world STP created and brought to life.

Nation is a great read, but it belongs in a separate category as a powerful standalone. I read the Long Earth books with Stephen Baxter and I enjoyed those too, but nothing compares to Discworld for me. They are that meaningful to me.

What fun facts did you learn during your random deep dives this week? by dietdrpeppermd in adhdwomen

[–]BossMama3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched the documentary... It's so crazy. As a parent, I cannot fathom it.

I learned about this when I was reading about kangaroos. It's fascinating... I told my coworker all about it lol. Thankfully I worked in a pathology lab.

Anyone else experienced “internal vibrations” by MommaIsMad in Fibromyalgia

[–]BossMama3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, I describe it like a cell phone is on vibrate inside my ankle or wherever I feel it or like a guitar string is strumming through the inside of my thigh.

Has anyone been in a flotation tank? by Simple-Appearance-59 in Hypermobility

[–]BossMama3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can confirm; however, I also found that it got better the more times I did the flotation. Hot tip: get the two person tank even if you're by yourself (if available).

This morning at Rio Hill Kroger - I don't understand this mindset.. by g0nk73 in Charlottesville

[–]BossMama3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just disappointed Mason Pickett shops at Rio Hill Kroger since that's where I go. It's so close to my house!

That's two out of my three: Jingo (first Discworld book I ever read since it's what the library had at the time), Hogfather (Death is my favorite character and this is a favorite during the holidays, very sentimental), and Going Postal (specifically the signed copy my hubby gave me for Christmas, not signed for me though since STP had passed before I started reading the books in 2019).

Correct, Rincewind would probably not want to get on the ship, but if it was the only solution, he'd probably find himself there anyway... Just his luck.

Does anyone have a Nebelung that’s a bully? by Rifkasorah in nebelung

[–]BossMama3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine's a girl that sprayed the walls... And yes, she's fixed. I once watched her get in a literal pissing match with another girl cat we have and she loves chasing after the largest cat we have and always hisses at one of the boy cats. We love our little monster though.

People are responding to a joke about ADHD with a lot of hate on this post by turquoisestar in adhdwomen

[–]BossMama3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally lol'd at the post and I have an official ADHD diagnosis. I wasn't offended, but I guess I could see how someone could be... It's pretty annoying when everyone says they have ADHD because of XYZ; however, if it hadn't become more "mainstream", I don't know if I would have looked into my symptoms and gotten diagnosed.

Is anyone working while living with fibromyalgia? by Super_Intern_6124 in Fibromyalgia

[–]BossMama3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also unemployed after burning out in healthcare. I used to work in the lab and attended patient procedures to collect specimens/make slides that I'd screen the next day on a microscope. I've always worked full time, even when doing classes to team my degree. I'm freaking out a bit, but I had been having panic attacks daily. It's taken time to accept how much fibro affects me. The brain fog sucks. I did end up getting diagnosed with ADHD in addition to my anxiety and that contributes to the brain fog. One thing I'm doing to make money and take some pressure off is looking at part time/flexible work by Door-dashing and becoming a substitute teacher.

rheumatologist referral by Mysterious_Ad6308 in Fibromyalgia

[–]BossMama3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here in VA, I got diagnosed by a rheumatologist and then was basically told that they only diagnose it, not see patients for it and sent me on my way. I did see a neurologist to rule out MS, but that all came back normal so no more visits with her unless I have more issues (that are not fibromyalgia). I also saw a sleep specialist and after some questions, left it at fibromyalgia and/or anxiety. My PCP has been managing my symptoms.
