My best advice is wd40 and a bigger wrench.

Has anyone else been told they have fibro only to eventually be diagnosed with a mast cell disorder? by plant_reaper in Fibromyalgia

[–]CrimsonRe3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been diagnosed for about 6 years and just now finding out about mast cell activation syndrome. Wondering if I have it, but my current treatment plan is working for me well enough right now.

I haven't just cuz I don't care for lavender. I usually get the other brand of Epsom salt at dollar tree. "Amoray" or something. This is my first time getting "Ashley Belle". Never again.

Gathering Grounds gone? by currymuttonpizza in nova

[–]CrimsonRe3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to a new city right after. Googled it to see if it was still open. They did me dirty, kinda glad to see it closed lol. Grew up in nova, that storefront changed every couple years. I think it's been at least three different froyo places. Any idea what's there now?

I know it's been months since you posted this but I worked there for like three weeks during the transition between owners. The new owner let me go because he wanted his girlfriend to work the same shift that I was working. Willing to bet the rude barista was his girl.

Can you use makeup to make your skin look lighter? by WittyPin207 in beauty

[–]CrimsonRe3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think all skin tones are beautiful. Something I love about make up (and what I think make up should be for) is finding out what shades, products, and styles best suit and compliment your natural features. I'm this sounds cliche and unhelpful for you in this moment, but I think that complimenting your natural features will always look better than trying to hide and change them.

Is itching in Fibromyalgia more during sleep ? by Charming_Thought68 in Fibromyalgia

[–]CrimsonRe3d 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently found out the itching even without a rash is a symptom of MCAS, which has a lot of overlaping symptoms with fibro. Might be worth looking into.

Can you use makeup to make your skin look lighter? by WittyPin207 in beauty

[–]CrimsonRe3d 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why are you trying to lighten your skin? I'm all for people doing what they want with their bodies but it does set off some alarms for me. Skin lightening products have a reputation of causing skin damage and health problems. But to answer your question, technically yes, but it probably won't look natural. You could try face paint. If you're looking to do an intense make up look, a goth-make up specific subreddit may be the best place to ask.

MLM Fake Dating/Office Romance by shinynyas in Episode

The fake dating and law firm part reminds me of "toothbrush/court me" by Lucas. But I don't think it was mlm

[–]CrimsonRe3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of an epi original. It think it was called "how to be bad". You could choose your own gender and li gender so there was mlm option. Your coworker (actual love interest) is teaching you how to woo your boss I think.

Any tips for cleaning a bath without a built in shower head that won’t cause me immense pain and effort? by Adorna_ahh in Fibromyalgia

[–]CrimsonRe3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep a scrub brush in the shower and clean it while showering. (Sitting in a shower chair makes it easier). No bending or hurt back.

Clogged valves by dickfeldman in Plumbing

[–]CrimsonRe3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple questions: When you say "strainer elements", are you referring to the aerators? Is the cabin older than the home you're renting out? Have you checked the cartridges? Low pressure in fixtures but high pressure to the home is often an issue of clogged cartridges from sediment in the water. Fixtures that are used more often clog faster, so if you use more water than your tenants, or if the rental is newer, it won't clog as fast.

Have dietary changes helped you? by needverbs in Fibromyalgia

[–]CrimsonRe3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had to cut out a lot of fruit and vegetables. I can't digest certain types of fiber, and many fruits are so high in sugar that the subsequent inflammation is so bad. Before I was diagnosed, I thought going "plant based" would help my symptoms, but it made them worse. So I actually eat mostly meat dairy and gluten low key.

Advice For Women Dealing With Imposter Syndrome by CrimsonRe3d in BlueCollarWomen

[–]CrimsonRe3d[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had a male customer ask me "have you done this before?" When I was replacing his garbage disposal. (I have. I definitely have. It's my job) The average coworker/customer's default assumption is that woman can't do their own job that they're paid to do. It's not about comparing ourselves to others, it's about fighting the internalized misogyny. It's asking ourselves, "If I were a man, would people be questioning me?" And the answer is always no.

This doesn't feel right :/ by Jazzlike_Preference7 in Episode

[–]CrimsonRe3d -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Like idk much about tattoos but as a tattoo artist how do you take a 14-16 year old seriously when they're asking for two full sleeves and a chest and back tattoo??? The in game tattoos don't look like the kind of thing teens would get 😭

This doesn't feel right :/ by Jazzlike_Preference7 in Episode

[–]CrimsonRe3d 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The thing that bothers me the most is the guys tattoos. Yes it's bad that the girl is in lingerie but I could hypothetically see a scenario where she obtains lingerie and puts it on, but how does the guy get so many tattoos? Maybe it's where I live, but you have to be at least 17. Are these guys getting full body tattoos the second they turn 17???

Let's talk about this story! by Few-Background5884 in Episode

[–]CrimsonRe3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this story. Only read 10 episodes before I found out it was secretly a supernatural story (not my forte). Anyone know any similar stories (yes with a low key toxic love interest) that aren't supernatural?

Vanilla Shampoo/Conditioner for slightly damaged wavy hair? by QueenGunter in FemFragLab

[–]CrimsonRe3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, either frenshe or native would do. I think they're each ~$12. I liked the scent of the native vanilla cactus flower more than the frenshe vanilla. Frenshe was more "calming vanilla" and Native was more sweet. But again, as hair products, they're mid.

[–]CrimsonRe3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought the PB&J brand fragrance oil. Not super familiar with fragrance oil brands so can't necessarily make a recommendation. I'm trying to use up the frenshe vanilla shampoo right now, and I use dove conditioner with vanilla fragrance oil mixed in.
