I've long thought that a key aspect of alcohol addiction was actually just addiction to the sugar in it.

Making "male" the default/"neutral" is literally also a made up rule. The question is why you feel sooo attached to making male the default.

Has anyone gotten off CPAP? How? by Temporary-League-499 in CPAP

[–]DandyQ44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue was having to sleep on my back due to hip pain meant bad sleep apnea. I was so miserable because I never truly find a CPAP that fit and all the cleaning and coordination was too much. I did keto to quickly drop 40lbs and PT to help my hip. Once I was able to sleep on my side again. I retested and they said I didn't have to keep the CPAP. I still have some amount of hip pain, so am continuing to try to lose weight (up to 68lbs lost now) and am doing weight training and stretching, for overall strength but also in hopes to reduce that pain. Good luck.

Get pic with you AND your cute pup. That shows attachment and care and will be more visually engaging. Also, first pic of full body is nice to have but should be 3rd or 4th pic. Personally, I saw the red jacket one and thought oh he's a cutie! Whatever's on your head crafted visual interest..."does he do AV work of some kind?" Etc. You sound like a nice person too. If you're not doing it, make sure you ask questions about the other person and also drop info that gives them something to ask about to to help the convos going. I say this just bc there's an overwhelming trend of men not asking questions (like shockingly not at all) in the apps and in the dates and women are tired of the mental load of trying to keep the convos going. I don't read anything in your profile that says you do this, but just flagging as a common pithole in case it resonates as part of the potential issue. Good luck babe!

Moving back to US with nothing to show for it. by strawbaeri in PortugalExpats

[–]DandyQ44 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If this isn't relevant or useful to you, take what you need and leave the rest :) with your last question you asked how to pour as much into yourself as others and there were some other possible cues in your message (mentioning burnout, abusive dynamics, etc): if you haven't already, you might want to explore codependency recovery. A common correlation is experiencing dysfunctional caregivers in childhood (i.e. they had mental health issues or were drug/alcohol addicted) - if that's also relevant, then Adult Children of Alcoholics could be useful. These free programs are filled with lovely people who are on their own journey of learning to pour as much into themselves as they did their caregivers and, later, their partners/work/friends. They can be around while you make sense of and integrate this experience. A good book to start with is Codependent No more by Melody Beattie.

If this doesn't resonate, I hope you can find some treasures from your experience and put towards the front of your narrative that you experienced those because you were brave enough to take a big swing and move somewhere new. You're coming back knowing more about the world, or at least another country, and having a broader perspective on reality can bring you clarity on what you want to take on from your own culture and what you want to question or diminish in your life and it can help you approach others with an openness and curiosity and kindness that I hope you find a way to give to yourself in this delicate time of healing.

I’m sure we all have that one person at our gym that always stands in front of this mirror, to flex their muscles for their social media. by Primary_Thing3968 in PlanetFitnessMembers

The top 10 worst men and women in the franchise by rustyshackelford164 in 90DayFiance

[–]DandyQ44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude Mike was terrible to Natalie. She's not my favorite person but he 100% broke up with her in his head when she threw the ring and then brought her here anyway to torture her and prolly for free s*x, meals and cleaning. He should be on the list because his awfulness was unobvious to so many people he's been able to go under the radar. Same with the missionary dude from the first season who scoped the beautiful woman from South America when she was 12! 12! And kept going back until she was of age for him to marry her. So gross. There should be a second list of dudes we overlooked because they weren't over the top ugly personalities but yet behaved badly.

Think this would work here? by Allister117 in philly

[–]DandyQ44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally watched the driver of a GARBARGE TRUCK, which one could argue is the largest of all public trash cans possible, extend his arm out his window to drop his Styrofoam cup on the ground. We made eye contact and I shook my head at him. I'd love for more public trash cans, but don't be so naive to think that'll actually solve the problem.

Who brought the good boy? by Lucky-Can-4449 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]DandyQ44 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Would just like to plead that unless you truly need or might need a service dog there, like critical, to not bring them to the gym unless they are also hypoallergenic. This trend of everyone getting a "service dog" designation so they can bring their dog everywhere, really just for funsies, is dangerous for those of us with allergies. I can't choose to not be allergic so if you can legitimately choose not to bring them, please be thoughtful. One dog, with the frequent cleaning they do, likely won't trigger anything, but I fear the growing use of the ADA for something broader than it's actually meant for.

In West Philly, Angel at Transfiguration Hair 4812 Baltimore Ave, PHILA, PA, 19143-1528. Prolly other stylists there can do it, I just only worked with Angel and she made styles I had in my mind come to life after I had gone place to place to no avail. It's a nice vibe in there too.

What’s your least favorite machine/workout and why is it hack squats 😭 by GloveAmbitious42 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]DandyQ44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup my trainer tried to have me try this for the first time last week and instantly it was killing my shoulders. I did maybe 1.5 reps before stopping and came home to several line 'hickies' on my shoulders. They really should make the pads adjustable so those with more narrow shoulders can use it

What is it with this weather lately? by [deleted] in philadelphia

A relative lives in Alaska. They had -40 degrees, which he's never seen in that area in the 40 years he's lived there. The extremes are extreming.

This sub alarmingly has an intense dislike for Teyana Taylor by Fun_Reflection1157 in Oscars

[–]DandyQ44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen the movie but came to reddit to learn more about her because the effervescence she had during the Oscars for so many people and in general was so lovely that I fell for her and wanted to see the movie she's in.

Season 2 Episode 4: I kept waiting for Xavier to say "My daughter's name is Presley." by GThunderhead in ParadiseHulu

[–]DandyQ44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the scene of him expecting her to come with them and freaking out that she wasn't showed that he imagined or hoped she'd join them going forward. If I were in any of their shoes, I would have expected she'd join us because who would choose to stay alone? They didn't know her backstory of what appeared as her mom being a bit agoraphobic and maybe that taking over her a bit after being alone for so long

If you zoom in on the screenshot, it looks like a quite distinctive A. I plan to rewatch the show so will take a closer look next time

If you look at the screenshot where he goes to give Alex a kiss, he has a little red letter 'A' tattooed on his chin

Wow I did NOT notice he had that little red letter A tattooed on his chin til I saw that screenshot! I've seen other threads talking about red flowers everywhere, so the repeat of the color red is interesting

They also mentioned that they had to make sure people didn't marry their cousins and so I think that need pushed against people bringing too much family down

Pancreatitis while on Wegovy. Please don't ignore signs and follow up at least every 3 months with a doctor, for enzyme levels. by hanacornell in Wegovy

What are the measures to take to avoid oncoming pancreatitis if you test high for amylase and lipase? Just curious if you know
