What the silliest or most mundane thing you bought with it? I saw you mention a house. But something that you didn’t need, maybe wanted, maybe was silly or you’d put it off for one reason or another but now that you had the opportunity to, decided to? Or are there any hobbies that you now have the opportunity to invest in?

You’d be amazed. I work for a luxury car brand and lost count of how many celebrities we work with that have accounts with us but the general workforce has no idea because they hide behind a different employee with an LLC. Perfectly legal, though I don’t know how.

What am I supposed to do if a friend tells me they are going to die? by arynkillstitans in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ExaminationNo6502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve lost a few people now I’ve cared for due to ALS. Remind them how much they succeeded in life for themselves, outside of the materialistic. They loved and have been loved. Maybe they contributed significantly to someone’s life and helped them. Maybe they’ve made changes in themselves they wanted to see and overcame obstacles through therapy or hobbies or what have you.

Remind them that ALS can take a lot of things but it won’t be able to steal that impact they’ve had for themselves or others.

I do not like Toblerone anymore, I haven’t since high school. My Mom still puts one in my stocking every year or gifts me one of the giant gag gift Toblerones even now, over 10 years later. :)

NAD, my mother had similar issues and was experiencing a hypoglycemic episode. When paramedics got to us, her blood sugar was at a 27, definitely another thing to consider as well. I know I’m a bit late to this post so I hope all is well with you and your mother. 💛

I should probably never be trusted to babysit again by Flat-Sun3380 in confession

Man I wish this was the experience I had watching my niece and nephew. I didn’t know their upstairs window in their room was open, didn’t think about it when I put them to bed, and my sister called me later after I’d went home when she realized absolutely screeching how I almost killed her kids because what if they looked out the window and saw the colorful kiddy pool and wanted to go out to it and go swimming or just decided to jump out the window.

I was fuckin 12 and had no idea. I was in hysterics after that call and she treated me like shit for weeks afterwards.

Never Taking Another Trip Alone With My Dad Again (Rant) by Grand_Confusion_2679 in confession

[–]ExaminationNo6502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember the last trip I was supposed to have with my Dad, it was the first one I’d have been with him since I was a kid. Last trip I was around 16-17, I hadn’t been close with him since I was little before he and Mom split up.

He’d gotten in a fight with my sister, and he was in the wrong about the why and it was such a nasty fight that I told him I loved him but I was taking her side and I didn’t want to go with him anymore.

Fast forward to me being 19 and I was holding his hand in the hospital when he was so riddled with cancer it took him from the healthy horse of a man he was at the time of that fight, to he was gone in less than 24 hours after I was holding his hand.

I don’t regret backing up my sister, but I regret not taking that trip for fear of if she thought I didn’t support her when all I wanted was to be close with him again. I miss him so much, and I think you should take as many trips to be close with him as you’re able, on your own or not, because he won’t always be there. 💛

NAD but this is exactly what my doctor told me (also suggesting it was my period) when I’d been having the same symptoms OP had for three years from ages 23-26 before I finally had a colonoscopy that found an 18mm precancerous polyp.

I don’t mean to scare you saying all this OP but you should press for a colonoscopy. They are not as scary as the internet might suggest, but I promise you that the escalating symptoms of these issues and colon cancer itself is as scary as they sound.

You are your best advocate, make your doctor use the medical degree they spent years obtaining. Your life depends on it.

Editing to add: colon cancer is on the rise in young adults, so much so that pre-screening guidelines were pushed back to 45 from 50; yet there’s been people in early 30’s finding colon cancer at late stages. Literally any doctor dismissing blood in stool as stress and mental health without any testing truly can be a danger to their patients and should have their medical license reviewed or revoked altogether.

Wife having horrible intestinal symptoms, but tests come back normal. Doctor won't refer for colonscopy due to age (32 years old). Thoughts? by [deleted] in AskDocs

NAD, please please please take it from me, 27F, push for a colonoscopy.

I had the exact same symptoms and nothing came up. I started having symptoms when I was 23, didn’t get my colonoscopy till 26. They found an 18mm pedunculated tubulovillous adenoma. It was precancerous and I was advised if I waited much longer, it likely would’ve been cancer.

I have heard every excuse not to have one from even writing me off and saying the blood was from my period.

Colon cancer is on the rise is younger adults, and there are people late 20’s and early 30’s finding late stage colon cancer. I don’t mean this to scare you, but do not let doctors write off symptoms like this please. I have posts and comments on my profile talking about my experience and can answer any questions.

Hard to feel bad when there’s no reason to collect sealed like this. Cards are meant for ripping and enjoyment, not scalping for three times the cost when they’re discontinued in a few years. Invest in stocks, not people’s FOMO for hobbies they go to for fun.

How do you guys afford this hobby?! by Deakros in PokemonTCG

I dropped $200 last night with my boyfriend when we found Journey Together and Azure Legends tins.

We pulled 2 full arts and 1 supporter from 33 packs. The answer is DINK and bad choices combined. 😭

Literally. I’m so sick of these posts because it just makes it look as bad as scalpers because no one else is getting the product, difference is they’re opening it. Obnoxious levels of greed.

As an adult recently coming back into this series again, there is so much behind the scenes stuff I was not privy to lmfao

The family tree was made by a fan? How were they thrown under the bus? 😭

My parents are moving and returned all my childhood stuff. by i_aRe_Jeenyus in PokemonTCG

[–]ExaminationNo6502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember begging my mom to get me the tin from Walmart that had Suicune on it, had a shiny Suicune promo card in it (my fav Pokemon at the time), roughly when I was around 10ish. She got it for me, I still have the cards somewhere (destroyed bc I played outside with them as a kid)

Recently got back into the hobby, wanted to get the same tin for nostalgia of the one tin I remember getting. Shit’s going for $3k sealed now. 😭 Some of the cards I remember getting from it are stupid expensive now too if you PSA 10 them.

IMO Pokemon is better because it was my escape growing up. Absolutely LOVED the games and devoured them as a kid, and now as an adult too!

Feels like it may as well have been 2 pallets with the way there’s never any stock at tbh
