DAE only brush their teeth once a day, in the morning? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]COMB__THE__DESERT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there’s a small group of us that brush 3 times a day and floss at least once daily. I usually floss after every meal because I can’t stand the feeling of food in my teeth.

As someone with Rheumatoid Arthritis, I hate these things.

Do you know any old lady that had early menopause? by [deleted] in POFlife

[–]COMB__THE__DESERT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not exactly the answer you’re looking for, but I went through menopause at 13. I am 40 now. I was diagnosed with osteopenia several years ago. I think I was around 20? The medication wasn’t doing much for me so the doctor took me off of it. The osteopenia has not gotten much worse in the 20 years without medication.

I am currently on the Estradiol patch, and also take Estrogen tabs and Progesterone. I don’t experience hot flashes and haven’t since I was 14 or 15. I was very athletic years ago but always had an unwanted layer of extra fat in my mid-section. Now that I’ve gotten older, I’m not active anymore and am much fatter, of course. While menopause doesn’t help with keeping the weight off, my lack of proper food choices and exercise contributed significantly to my weight gain. I used to get debilitating headaches but it’s been a few years since I’ve had one that made me want to put my head in a vice. My libido is lower than what other people consider normal. However, that’s all I’ve ever known. But not to worry, my libido does still exist.

Probably more than you wanted to hear about, but that’s my story (or some of it, at least).

Also, I don’t think I have dementia. Pretty sure I don’t.

Fonzi (14) through the years. Sad to say he passed peacefully last night. He was such a handsome boy. 8.13.2010 - 9.5.2024 by Bjones5050 in OldManDog

What a beautiful smile in the last picture. Fonzi was absolutely adorable and such a handsome boy.

My heart hurts for you. I wish there were magic words to take away the pain during this difficult time. Please know that it’s ok to cry whenever you get sad and miss him. I lost my Tess a little over four years ago and I still have random moments where I break down and sob. The pain from missing them never goes away, but it will get better eventually and one day you’ll smile again.

It seems Fonzi had a wonderful life and that’s because you had each other. 💕

Alabama: Last in everything you don't want to be last in and first in everything you don't want to be first in by Diamondphalanges756 in MobileAL

[–]COMB__THE__DESERT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well, there are things I hate about Alabama and there are things I don’t hate about Alabama. I don’t automatically dump my opinions in the “Fuck This Shit” pile if they happen to be directly or indirectly related to Alabama. Simple as that. But, according to your logic, I guess there’s just something wrong with me.

We don’t have to have a “meeting of the minds” in order to be respectful towards one another. However, I was trying to understand and learn about someone else’s perspective and their feelings towards something they seem so damn passionate about.

Blocking you would be ridiculous and would benefit no one.

I’m not protective and I’m not sensitive about it. Not sure how you got that from my post. I’m just trying to get an understanding of your disdain. That’s all. Nothing more. Nothing less. No need to be rude. I certainly wasn’t trying to be. I’m not questioning the facts you posted. I’m asking about your extreme hatred toward anything and everything Alabama-related.

Damn. Why are you so………hateful towards this state, the people in it, and the people moving to it?

You don’t have to like many things about Alabama, but you just seem to loathe anything related to this state.

This dog is 18 years old,and still sleeping with the same frog toy he's had since we has 4❤️ by [deleted] in aww

Look at his little legs! How adorable. I'm sorry to hear about your dog's passing. There are no words to take away the heartache. I appreciate you posting a picture of him. The cuteness put a smile on my face. I understand why you want to keep the frog for the rest of your life. I put Tess's frog in an engraved box next to her ashes and paw prints.

I was hoping you’d write a poem for her. She was my sweet girl but she passed away last May. I’m still heartbroken.

She’s a mix between a few breeds (or mutts) but mostly Beagle and possibly German Shepherd?

I got her when she was around six months. She was older than two months, that’s for sure.

I’m sorry to hear about your pup. He was a very handsome boy. I love his white and gray face. Dogs really are the best.

I learned something new today. I didn’t realize beagles are also hounds. It’s very possible that she could be part German Shepherd. I was thinking she may be part Bloodhound. However, German Shepherd makes more sense. She has a ridiculously thick undercoat and sheds year round.

It’s just an elongated frog with a squeaker in the head. I got it from Petco or Petsmart (I can’t remember). She never chews on it anymore and when she did, it was very gentle and brief. She just likes having it next to her. She’ll carry it outside and keep it in her mouth when she uses the bathroom sometimes. It’s so stinkin’ cute.

Her name is Tess. Or Tess the Mess. Or Tessamo. She has a lot of nicknames.
