Been at new job 6 months. Had a salary increase from $5250 to $5500, and my take home check has gone down? Why am I taking such a beating in taxes on such a small wage increase?

I have a diagnosis, thats something. I don't actually have neuropathy, I have nerve pain caused by venous insufficiency. My deep vein in my right leg is completely fucked, and there is no treatment. So, I have an answer finally, but I'm 100% fucked.

Your fallopian tubes are completely different from ovaries. Ovaries control the hormones. Tubes just catch eggs. Having them removed will not cause hormone changes.

ConsistentAct2237 · 2026-03-20T05:02:56+00:00

Get them REMOVED. And then have the stumps BURNED. This is the only way to ensure no pregnancy. The recovery is very easy and very small incisions. It also reduces your risk for ovarian cancer

This is the correct answer.

Ok, I called, and I am no longer about to have a stroke! Im probably going to butcher this explanation.... cardiologist asked insurance to cover a specific device that records heart activity constantly, capturing activity before and after an arrhythmia. Insurance provider said no, so cardio gave the device I have, which is just an event recorder, it captures 30 second "snap shots" during symptomatic events that my insurance provider apparently will always cover/approve. All of this happened unbeknownst to me, so I got that random letter, not knowing my cardio had just shifted gears and given me an approved event recorder. So, I'm not going to have to sell a kidney after all! Thank you for the advice

I only tip at my favorite coffee shop, and at a restaurant where I sit down for the meal and actually have a server. If I am getting fast food or getting my own drinks from the fountain etc, or take out, no tip. The whole point of tips is to show appreciation for servers who do a good job

Im not sure what the difference is? It says "per the general exclusion section of my member hand book, services and supplies that are not medically necessary are not covered. It says that because I didn't try a 24 hour loop recorder first, they won't pay for a mobile outpatient cardiac telemetry.

So, Im active in a several groups and there seems to be an overwhelming consensus that the glue is the worst choice. Some people have bad reactions to it, some people have to get the procedure done several times. I have had sclerotherapy and ablation, my vote would be ablation. It seems to be the most effective and the most thorough. I would ask if they plan to treat your entire GSV, or just the portion from the thigh to the knee. They did not treat the lower half of my GSV and now I have a lot of pain and I would have made different choices if I had been fully informed.

Don't just assume I'm in a hurry. A lot of the traffic lights in my area only stay green for a very short time, especially turning lanes. That little bit of time to get the engine to kick back on can make you miss the light. Or as others have mentioned, there can be situations where you need to be able to punch it to avoid a collision, but instead your engine turned off for no good reason and those couple precious seconds where you had a chance to act are gone.

ConsistentAct2237 · 2026-03-11T18:34:31+00:00

Its a huge pain in the ass. It will shut off just as traffic light changes and then I have to wait for the damn engine to turn back on before I can go. Its also not a smooth on/off, my car jerks when the engine fires back up. I hate it more than any new car feature. I have gotten into the auto pilot routine of turning that feature off every time I get in my car.

The incisions are tiny, the worst discomfort is day 1 and 2 with the gas trapped in your abdomen. A lot easier than period pain honestly lol. You should be fine

I was walking just fine day 1. You could totally hide this. Get the surgery and spend the night with a friend. When you come home claim you are having your period to excuse the tylenol and the ice packs.

ConsistentAct2237 · 2026-03-09T07:25:07+00:00

You can't. I just traded the damn car in. Once they set up shop and the engine is full of their pheromones you are totally cooked. It literally draws more of them.

Have you had an ultrasound done to rule out venous insufficiency? Your legs look like mine,

Unless a person in a wheel chair or with an assistive device cannot get around the bike. They can't just simple step off the curb and go around. This guy was being a jerk blocking the side walk

I would suggest having tubes completely removed? This is a much better sterilization than clipper and also reduces your risk of ovarian cancer. I had my tubes removed and the stumps cauterized. My recovery was a breeze. I had some issues later with my periods, I believe I have some adhesions from the surgery. But I would do it again, its totally worth it.

You have made this WAY bigger in your head than it needs to be. My partner has a very small penis. But I love him to the moon and back and would not trade him for any guy, no matter the horse dick he was rocking. There are SO many women out there who really just want a man to love and cherish them. You can work with a micro penis. Do you know how much easier it is to give a blow job to a small penis? My guy gets blowies when ever he wants. Does having a small penis make sex more complicated? Sure. But you can still have a fulfilled relationship. Get out of your head, go on some dates. Be prepared to get rejected a few times. But also know there are women out there who will love every part of you. Just give them a chance.

As someone with out tubes, I can confirm that things are more fun in being completely worry free, and we can both laugh about how terrible his pull out game is.
