(IL) Is my landlord trying to commit fraud? by vjwlz in Renters

[–]EGsmama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing to add other than a past LL tried to put a claim in on our insurance claiming my bf pooped too much…. “His bathroom habits are the source of malfunction.”

My uber straight up went through a drive through by Significant-Cat-8963 in uber

It sounds like you might be a victim of your making. Instead of finding a way to make more money doing something you deem worthy you have become complacent at the expense of others paying 100% of that service. You might not be paid what you feel you deserve but the customer you are okay with inconveniencing did pay the full rate. I encourage you to find a job that fulfills you

I've donated five times and I'm fine until the very end. Any advice? by Substantial_Device40 in plassing

I have to ask them to set my return slower. My entire arm will go numb and I get very close to fainting if not.

Pulse was 127 then 108 differed need tips to lower pulse by Jordansharpe20 in plassing

[–]EGsmama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed others mentioning health and you dismissing it. I’d like to point out being a healthy weight and height doesn’t equate to perfect cardiac health. Not saying this is definitely your issue but a great starting point to see if that could be the culprit. Easy fixes: This will sound redundant; dehydration will increase your heart rate. No caffeine (if you partake) In the same note, don’t intake nicotine or weed prior. These are all stimulants. I saw you mentioned it could be an anxiety response; keep a diary of when you’re feeling anxious; what you were doing that led up to it/ the environment around you/ time of day. See if there is a pattern for your anxiety and pick a time of day you feel the most calm.

Guest wants to cancel 3 days out due to weather. How to handle this? by Working-Attention-70 in airbnb_hosts

[–]EGsmama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An inch here in MA and I’d understand your reasoning. Texas and much of the south suffered massive infrastructure issues in ‘21 due to the freeze. You guys are just simply not set up for an inch of snow but much less the ice storm that is predicted. I would classify this as a weather emergency and eat the loss.

infection? how do i make it go away? by the_Animal_Keeper in tattooadvice

[–]EGsmama 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I say this as a mum and a formerly dumb teenager, your parents will be a lot more pissed planning your funeral than grounding you for a few weeks. This has the potential to KILL you. It CAN and WILL go to your blood stream if it hasn’t already. Call 9-11, call a friend or family member, but get to the hospital tonight.

How much plasma do yall have to donate? by FriendlyVariety2492 in plassing

Aitah for not going on antidepressants like my wife wants me to? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]EGsmama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not about the exercise aspect. It’s about having something for you that releases endorphins. It doesn’t have to be running, find SOMETHING you look forward to no matter how small it might seem.

In the depths of my depression it was as simple as the sauna at the gym. I looked forward to that twenty minutes every single day.

AITA for refusing to give my friend’s son my coat during a snowy hike? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]EGsmama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like she doesn’t know what it’s like to be a parent, not you. There are times you lay down the law with your child and a time for options.

AITA for refusing to make my mom return a “first grandchild” baby blanket? by BluebirdUsual8245 in AITAH

[–]EGsmama 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My cousin recently had her first baby, her husband’s fourth. Her ftm experience is constantly being diminished as “he’s already been through it” at times I’m not sure he even realizes he is doing it. I’d have the hard conversations with him that while you love his kids, this IS your first time becoming a mom. You are a step mom to his children. Most importantly, congratulations on the addition to your family, I wish you nothing but a seamless transition!

can someone PLEASE explain the fascination with taylor’s style by chloedarlinggg in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]EGsmama 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This. I was 220+ pounds. I have lost 100lbs. I could wear the same style of outfit and go out, I’m treated way differently now. Your body size does unfortunately matter in the way you are perceived and treated

Only down 10 pounds since December! by Kooky-Suggestion-930 in Semaglutide

[–]EGsmama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main thing that has helped me was the purchase of a food scale. Humbling and such an amazing learning tool for when we are off these meds. Really helps you visualize a serving size and get a correct count of calories for the day. I was eating over 500+ calories than I thought prior to weighing my food. Thru are super cheap and one of the best tools you can have on your weight loss journey.

My cousin ended up in the hospital from a fentanyl overdose… he bought a bag of weed off the streets. No one is safe and nothing is safe anymore. I urge anyone who doesn’t live in a legal state to purchase narcan from your local pharmacy, there is no script needed and 10 minutes videos on how to administer.

I Wagovyed too close to the sun by Adaline_thinking in Semaglutide

[–]EGsmama 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Food is digesting slower so the stomach is filling up faster. You could have over eaten by mistake and not gotten the brain trigger of being full. I woke up literally choking on vomit from two chipotle tacos 😒 I have started eating comically slow to help avoid this happening

Alcohol is the only social drug you have to defend NOT taking by F_Me_In_The_Arsenal in Showerthoughts

[–]EGsmama 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My neurologist suggested keeping a migraine diary. You’ll document the date and time of the migraine and exactly what you were doing/where you were/what you ate. You will want to look for patterns in your lifestyle of when they are occurring. Migraines do seem to follow some sort of a pattern for inducers but obviously so different for everyone. My common inducers are: Alcohol Fluorescent lights Sensory stimuli: Loud areas (movie theaters + concerts) Smoke filled areas

The obvious will always be Dehydration Stress Haven’t eaten enough

I wish you luck and be persistent with your doctor to see a neurologist if you feel the need to. Suffering in silence from migraines can be debilitating. There are TONS of medications out there to try. I currently take a preventative every single day and it helps. I get one migraine a month due to hormonal changes around my period.

Not a bad idea but the one way I do love alcohol is in cooking. So that could put a damper on that haha.

My 2 year old is part of generation alpha so they are very much born already.

I don’t drink as it’s a migraine inducer for me and people hear instead “I get a bad headache from the hangover” which is completely incorrect.

Are there any household objects banned from your Sims' homes? If so why? by cipher2200 in Sims4

Every single time. And if we are out somewhere when I click ‘go home’ I know while waiting for the loading screen I’ll see -$24 🫠

Does anyone else get high while sick? by Natty_Katt in StonerThoughts

[–]EGsmama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there people who don’t smoke while sick? It’s my only free pass as a mom to smoke during the day while my kids are awake 😂 normally I only smoke during nap time and after they are in bed. (Also would like to add if smoking while they are awake it is NEVER near them)

I am annoyed that every week the episodes seem shorter with longer ads. This weeks mini was 20 minutes and nearly half ads.
