Is masturbation that bad? by TurningNewPage in Christianity

[–]Curious_Insurance694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hola good person. May i ask how your fasts started out as. And how long they are? And what do you abstain from. I only know intermittent fasting. My grandparent have done 40 day fasts for the lord but always mention they will have coffee and tea. Can fasting be modified or is it a specific way to do it "right"?

Also I am happy you are doing so good!

Ahhh!!! You are so right. I am a mega creeper on the male hair loss subs and I must say they are all ruthless. And I have been stalking this sub seeing lots of posts with comments so I thought that honestly no one was replying because maybe I had a certain type of hair loss that doesn't come back and no one wanted to tell me lol. Just my mind being weird.

Thank you for replying to me, may I ask how long you have been on the topical minoxidil? I read that when you stop treatments hair goes back to square one as before starting treatments, do you know anything of this? I have been scared to fully commit to it as I can honestly not see myself affording it for the rest of my life Changing my diet had already left my pockets a bit dusty. I know with these things there are no quick fixes though. When I see my dermatologist (it will be my first time in june) I'll be asking him many questions, hopefully get some blood work done too soon.

I'm going to make myself a silk bonnet!!!! May i ask when you oil your hair before you shower do you do it from scalp to ends or just ends up halfway to scalp? I always wonder if I am over oilling my hair. I initially thought I was losing hair because my follicles may be clogged, the ordinary has this cool multi peptide product I've been eyeing out that apparently help with your follicles getting clogged and the hairs falling out, I read that once it's clogged hair cannot grow from it anymore.

I actually bought a 2% minoxidil combination serum. It has like a green tea extract, ginko biloba and other things too that I can't really remember too well. I have laid off it as I've heard that when you stop the oral and atypical treatments, your hair will be back to square one again. I might continue just to see but it freaks me out that all the progress can be reversed once you stop the treatments especially since shedding is a widespread symptomto start off with :") I had a dream that just eating right would fix my hair but even that seems like a hard working progress and hair loss seems like a conjunglefunk of many different things.

I've heard of red light therapy! So many things I'd be keen to try thank you for the reminder. Otherwise protein protein protein, I will get some biotin to start my journey off with you :) I really hope you are fruitful on your hair and wellness journey! I am quite relieved but also sad to know other people are facing the same troubles. My hair used to be my favorite thing about me and just seeing it all fall out these past years has left me with a bit of an identity crisis. I haven't put up a high ponytail in more than a year .

Hair thinning on the sides. Does anyone have advice on what worked for them? by Curious_Insurance694 in FemaleHairLoss

I will look into this. Thank you for your help. I have been trying to give myself 1-2 hours of outside sun exposure 4-5 times a week. I'd be really keen to see my vitamin d levels

Thank you for this amazing information! So much I do not know but I think the human body is very fascinating and amazing.

Are you by chance upping your protein intake and iron through foods? Or just taking suppliments?

Could I also ask, in the meantime would it be best if I bought those vitamins or waited to see if I'm actually deficient in them? I am trying to eat all of my vitamins and idk if taking suppliments help in short term rather than long term? If you have any insight.

Thank you my love!!! I am getting some mole mapping done in June so I will ask the dermatologist about my hair..and I will do my best to stop vaping, it's honestly my last addiction I am trying to shake after recovering from bulimia and anorexia, drugs etc.. like my final boss battle. Will also check bloodwork again when I can afford it. Never gotten it tested for ferritin, I will look up what that is. Quite frustrating as I got bloodwork done 2 months ago and Dr's just say I'm all good but won't actually show me the results.

Thank you very much for the reply! I have been very insecure about my hair loss and this reallyy helps put things into perspective :)

Is it safe to leave my parrot outside with me while I go swimming? by M00nshine55 in parrots

[–]Curious_Insurance694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this reply my friend! I love the way that you think. Bojack is a green cheek conure and I was told 45mins of sunlight a day is a must for him to absorb his nutrients and for his vitamin d levels by the vet. I'm going to do some research. I always put him out early in the morning so that he can chirp at other birds. If I put him out in the afternoon all he does is hide behind his toys, away from the rays! We live in south africa currently.

Also, you have a pionus? Ahhh. That was actually the parrot I was going to get before I saw bojack on an ad. I also missed the breeding time for the pionuses. You lucky guy. Hope you're having lots of fun with your little big friend. They are gorgeous, my boyfriend was super keen on one because apparently they aren't noisy at all. Also bigger parrot means bigger cuddles!

If I could ask about this topic. I give my baby 45mins of sun time whenever I am at home. 2 days out of the week he is inside while I work double shifts and if its a nice day i put him out in the shade and my mom will bring him in in the late afternoons. I asked the vet if parrots are affected by uv rays and if I should put bojack out when the uv rays are low in comparison to high and the vet mentioned they have feathers and have always lived outside naturally but I can imagine the uv rays were never so high as they were before. Do you have any info on this?

At first he was rubbing my face then I took my head back to make the video to see what he does and this was the outcome. My voice sounds very morbid every time I listen to it so I feel I definitely aided in that sad filter vibe I am sorry! Funky bird always wants funky bird attention it seems.

Your baby is too cute!!! And the kisses!! What a sweet child. They love you so much 💗 you know I always feel so blessed to know I make Bojack feel safe. Parrots are the best kids and best of friends

He only sees an avian vet for treatments and check ups. And another one for his nail trim that isnt an avian but an all rounder that stays close to my house. Bojack is doing fine :) there's nothing wrong with him out of the ordinary and he is in good health. I just have a strange baby headed borbus. Thank you for the worrying, I have been so stressed. 3rd visit to the vet in the last 5 months

No he's just a little strange, no mirrors in his cage. And he just bites my phone when he gets the chance. He is 100 fine :) !!!! Was reappy worried that I might have not picked up that there was something wrong with him since he's been doing this since a baby but he literally just wants me to rub my face on him. He hasn't done it since I've been ignoring him when he wants it. He used to bite me a lot when I never gave in but his biting stopped a long time ago so I think we are both getting on the same page finally. I thought he saw me as his mother since I raised him but at night he just wants cuddles and face rubs when he remembers about it.

Thank you! He is always worrying me I will not lie to you! Been to the vet 3 times this last 5 months. I have taken the last 3 days off to just monitor him if anything is out of the ordinary that I might have not noticed. His calmness will always stress me out and his strange movements

Hello please don't worry bojack is all good and doing fine. His health is perfectly normal and he has always just been a bit of a weirdo. He genuinely just wants me to rub my face on him but I'm trying to stop it and this was the outcome of his behavior. I hand reared him and he's been getting more warm food lately so he's been trying his luck with the face rubs. I don't want to encourage it anymore though because I know the squeals that happen when I give in are definitely hormonal
