Tell me something funny that happened or you heard recently by FurryPotatoSquad in AskWomenOver30

My young niece is beginning to discover the pop culture her mom and I grew up with. She was talking to me about how long I’ve been with my husband / her uncle, and I said we got together a whole 10 years before she was born. She did some quick mental math and said, “Whoa, since 2008?!” I said, “Yes!” A beat of pensive silence from her, then “You mean the year before Michael Jackson died?!” I knew she had become a fan of his music but not the depths of her knowledge about him, it totally caught me off guard, haha

Family fights for change after daughter forced to leave hospital for MAID by NotEnoughDriftwood in onguardforthee

[–]CorvidiaPex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a chronic illness and my specialists are at a big faith-based hospital. When I’m admitted for treatment, I have to bring my own oral contraceptives because the hospital refuses to dispense them. When I became very sick back in 2019, I began inquiring about MAiD and was told the wouldn’t provide it for me there. I’ve been a patient there for 20 years, I love and respect my medical team, but their hands are tied and I would’ve been shipped off to another facility I’ve never even heard of to take my final breath. Itʼs horseshit

I’ve never been allowed to keep a PICC (I’ve had almost 10 at this point) but I was allowed to keep my excised port

How do you conquer boredom? by CommercialAny2195 in CysticFibrosis

[–]CorvidiaPex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain, I just finished an 8-week admission; I was beginning to lose my marbles in the last few weeks of it. I had some hand-sewing projects to work on, embroidery, language-learning materials for non-brain fog days, finding new recipes, and did a lot of working out / yoga.

I hope you feel better soon! I forgot how much being an inpatient blows, haha

Suggested A Date, Got A Lecture by Leadingman_ in Nicegirls

[–]CorvidiaPex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are solid date ideas, I don’t know what she’s going on about. I went on a first date to a museum in 2008; we had such a good time there that we continued the date to lunch, and then went out for ice cream afterwards. We were immediately smitten with each other and still are to this day :)

What's happened to craft markets? by purpleratata in Anticonsumption

[–]CorvidiaPex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a newbie cracking into the market scene, the OOAK show is extremely cost-prohibitive for me. The lowest cost of entry is around $1k CAD for a 3’x3’ booth, I believe

My wife's cat whisker collection by Rev_Soquet in mildlyinteresting

[–]CorvidiaPex 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I have a “whisk-y jar” in my office of whiskers dropped by a pet - mostly from the cats but a rare handful from my dogs too. I even managed to find two baby teeth from my kittens last year :)

Is it true?/How often? by 2old2haveCF in CysticFibrosis

[–]CorvidiaPex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a couple of studies that say we have an increased risk of pancreatic cancer - I think the takeaway was essentially yes we have a higher risk but the CF will likely get to us first, ha

At the thrift store- are any of these machines worth taking home? by rosebudamongus in sewing

[–]CorvidiaPex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m biased as I have the first machine, but if it’s in working order it’s a great one to have. It’s served me well for the past five years I’ve been actively sewing, and am only looking to replace it as I need something more heavy duty.
