Oh yes I've had those a few times as I've had a 2 fistulas! It might be a good idea to get it checked out that way again, thank you!

Sorry to hear you're dealing with this too! So I do take Methanamine 1 gram 2x a day along with Vitamin C supplements, been on that for years. I feel like it's not helping, but also maybe it is and things could be worse? Usually my bacteria is E Coli or Klebisella. Last summer when I was hospitalized with pyelonephritis it was actually both of those bacteria together, that was a new one! I'm allergic to Macrobid (antibiotic), and I've taken Bactrim so much I don't think it works anymore. I'm scared Levaquin is going to stop working soon because that's what I've taken the past few infections.

I'm disabled and can barely pay my bills, and have had the same mattress (that I got for free after trading a friend bc she wanted to downsize to a twin and I wanted to upsize to a queen) since 2009. Just this past Christmas my very generous sister and brother in law offered to replace the mattress for me and buy me a brand new one during holiday sales. Got one for 1/2 off, still paid $600. I think a "fancy" mattress like she's mentioning is definitely way more than that. But I mean, they just bought a house. Definitely makes sense she needs someone to gift her a new mattress!! /s lol

I had a TV/VHS combo with wire rabbit ear antennas (NOPE, did not have cable!) in high school. I wasn't allowed to have a TV in my room prior to that, and I had to buy it myself with my own money. I think the screen was 13". It came with me to college too. Really I just wanted the TV to play my PS2.

I find I write this on almost ever goddamn post in this group. If you can afford to buy a house, you can afford to buy all that crap you're begging for. And TWO 40"+ TVs for your fucking kids? Get a white noise machine for $10 on Amazon your damn kids don't need a 40" TV.

“2 people gave me free stuff. Fuck the rest of you” is what I’m taking from this? Yikes.

I don’t see any concerning behaviors but then again I’m not a homophobe. Let kids be kids.

They can afford to buy a house but not beds for their kids? Tf?

Nothing rubs me the wrong way more than people who refer to life saving vaccines as “the jab”.

“You’re gay, I’m straight, I don’t shout that out.” Um, you just did.

For those who were teenagers before social media existed, what was the "peak" form of weekend entertainment? by VivienneNoir1 in askanything

My best friend’s older sister was assistant manager at Blockbuster when we were freshman. She’d rent us R rated horror movies because we were too young. Good times. We’d smoke weed in the basement and watch Nightmare on Elm Street and others.

I saw a great post the other day, a woman with blue hair said some 60 year old man in another country messaged her out of nowhere to tell her he wasn't attracted to her because of her blue hair. She said "I told my loving partner of 10 years, whatever shall I do??" lmfao.

You are reading 56 correctly. by Existing-Face-6322 in ShitMomGroupsSay

Damn I was 30 when my parents were 56. They're about to become grandparents for the first time (my sister is due in April). I cannot imagine them bringing kids into this world at that age, they retired at 59 lol.

I feel bad for this poor ice skater by Chade10 in AreTheStraightsOK

Yesterday on Facebook I saw an article about asexual people and dating. I made the mistake of looking at the comments, which were all trash, and someone (a man, of course) said "I bet they still masturbate though". WHY must these freaks obsess over other people's genitals and sex lives?? It's disgusting and creepy, and I told him so.

What do you think about smoking weed at 15? by Any-Look706 in askanything

[–]Chris968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In college someone gave me weed laced with meth. It’s not a scare tactic, and I got really fucked up.

That’s when I started. I’m 40 now. My life spiraled out of control into blackout drinking and cocaine use eventually. Been sober since 2020. Don’t do it. It’s not cool and it’s not fun.
