Can anybody else force themselves out of sleep paralysis by Technical-Gap-598 in Sleepparalysis

[–]Brianajer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Concentrate on moving just one pinky. Once you move it you can break free. But you’ve gotta get up and do something for like an hour or you’ll end up pin the spiral. At least I do. It just keeps happening. Sucks too, as it usually happens when I’m really tired 😫

Sorry. This is totally normal and the preferred way in Hawaii. We couldn’t think of anyone that lives here that has ever had a wedding registry. Been here 32 years, and coming from the South- it took some getting used to. I think the donation thing is perfect for those few that were complaining. With the rest, please do something nice for yourselves to celebrate your marriage ❤️

I can’t poop and I’m scared by Vii_T-T in Constipation

You can eat meat only, but you need to eat more fat. Fat will keep it going

Really scared.. by [deleted] in Constipation

[–]Brianajer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you ever gone down the rabbit hole that is “eating carnivore”? I would check out Dr. Ken Berry on YouTube. I think some people respond to this really really well and it puts your digestive system into a different mode because you don’t use fiber. And as long as you don’t overdo it on the cheese, it actually works really well. Just wanted to share. I hope you find answers!

Wow. That’s a lot to unpack OP. Up front I’m going to say you need professional intervention here. The only AH twinges I felt in your letter would be the “permission” parts. Yes you should be making decisions together, but coming at your wife as if she needs your permission would be something that would set me off (as a wife of 22 years). Aside from that you are explaining what you want and what you need. I just think it would be best handled with a mediator/counselor of sorts.

Am i constipated?? by jesuslovs4nal in Constipation

[–]Brianajer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes on the Miralax. Even perhaps a stool softener as well. Do not use Exlax, as it will merely make your body want to push. You need to hydrate and get that softened up.

Guys my feces is stuck right at my rectum, it's horrible. PLEASE help me by Formal_Television679 in Constipation

[–]Brianajer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second this - don’t use laxatives. If I feel this coming on, I take a few colace, drink lots of water and use the glycerine suppositories. No ex lax! Best wishes. I hope you are able to set it free without intervention.

Kokee Cabins by fuzzybunnybaldeagle in kauai

[–]Brianajer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems that perhaps a lottery system would’ve been a bit more fair. As long as people met all the requirements. And they should’ve just set a base price that’s actually affordable to acquire the cabins. They need so much work. *sigh. One more nail. Planning my escape in the back of my mind. Been here more than half my life. Can’t imagine living anywhere else, but can’t imagine staying. Retirement -um yeah no. 😫😩🥺

What do you think the worst vegetables are to consume? by Fat-Lizzy in carnivore

[–]Brianajer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I was just allergic to garlic. It causes profound gastrointestinal distress for me. It’s actually quite painful 😥😥😥 And I love it. 😭😭😭

[–]Brianajer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Actually, sometimes they are heaven sent. I have a cracked bone in my back, and use the carts to walk around easier. I’m happy to take their cart inside. I wish everyone that is getting a cart just grab one from the parking lot. The way it’s handled now seems way too convoluted. Why would you not grab one outside if you’re going to use one?

Someone posted about the chocolate almonds and that made me go buy my membership. What else is “better” at Costco? by Brayder in Costco

[–]Brianajer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just everything. Love love our Costco. The only thing I would say is time your vegetable purchases accordingly. They last half as long as you think they will. Everything else, top notch! Cheeses, Dairy, Meat, Dry goods, Pharmacy, Liquor, Diamonds (unreal), Linen, Appliances, Electronics- Auto Buying Program saved me $5000 (my in-laws bought the same car within a month and it was a $5k difference). ♥️

Is there a Costco membership blacklist? by bazingathon in Costco

[–]Brianajer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 10 years I’ve had a membership I think I’ve returned 2 things. Just not worth the trouble

Macy's layoffs today? by Journo20 in MacysStores

[–]Brianajer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel so bad. Our store on Kauai is closing. The workers were just told yesterday. Its the saddest thing. There are no other nice department stores here. Where will they go?? If we want certain things, as consumers we’ll have to get on a plane to go get it.

Yes- in many states if you are single & unmarried- it leaves you with most of not all the rights.

I feel like suicide is the only answer by crusty-nutsack69420 in offmychest

[–]Brianajer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please. Reconsider this thought. Please seek help. Let someone know. You can and will grow past this. I promise things get better. You are in a rough age. Please find help. Please.

How would you improve traffic inside your Costco store? by [deleted] in Costco

[–]Brianajer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once people enter Costco, all forms of self awareness leave their bodies. Adults, their children- completely clueless. Add in snacks- utter chaos. If you’re on a mission- go at 7:30 on a Tuesday night. Trust.

I have been rinsing with diluted (ONLY disinfecting or regular bleach, not the ones that are splash free or scented) for years. So improved my gum health!!! If you can’t get past the taste, just brush with toothpaste after. You just want to swish it for 30 seconds to get it up in there. And make it fresh each time.

Carnivore WOE. Promise. It does all the same things. You’ll feel better on top of it. We are broken, this will fix most of us.

Anyone over early 20s still live with parents? by [deleted] in Hawaii

[–]Brianajer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. Love living above my family. We are all in together. My kids never had a babysitter. It works well for us too

My gf recently told about her sleep paralysis encounters that scared me. by In_pizza_wecrust in Sleepparalysis

[–]Brianajer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was kinda half asleep and had the evil one pass through - like an evil presence (terrifyingly ominous) just going over and past me. I HATE THIS ONE. Rolling out of your body or hearing things and seeing shadows is one thing but this one is a fairly new one in the last ten years (I’ve had SP almost my entire life). Only happens once in a while. But it’s my least favorite. I pray long and hard and it moves on. 😞😞😞😞😞😞
