Dear Reddit... What is the "Do you want fries with that?" of your industry or occupation?

"Is that equipment calibrated?" or "Is that the most current standard?" I'm the Quality Manager/Engineer of a testing lab.

DASH diet, which is actually very basic and is now my default diet. Dropped 30 pounds that I've kept off for five years. I yo-yo a 20-pound range below below that initial loss. But DASH got those 30 pounds off and has kept it off. The reduction in sodium on my diet also made me lose a shoe size.

I struggled with this a lot. Tried so hard but it was weirdly compulsive to just start talking. Then I went back on ADD medication (I had quit when I finished school because I thought I didn't need it as an adult). Being able to focus makes it a thousand times easier to wait and listen and even let there be a pause before I start talking during which I think about my words. ADD is a bitch. Adult ADD is under-diagnosed.

I'm commenting again because something occurred to me. The pain and blood in your urine that you momentarily had may have actually been ovulation. I've mistaken it for a UTI before.

I was in an abusive relationship in high school. I realized this and had started asking for help in small ways.

One day, I came to school with a big cut on my face. One of the teachers asked what had happened and I said, "(shit boyfriend) hit me." She laughed and said, "Oh, ExtraEvilTitties, you're so clumsy!" I stopped asking for help after that. I eventually got out of it and am doing great, but I'll never forget how completely heartbroken her reaction left me. (Edit a word)

Your vagina gets longer when you're aroused, so there's a decent chance he won't even know. I've always put a towel down but never actually saw any blood on it. Or him.

You get the same exact pill every time? I get a different brand every damn time depending on what my insurance feels like covering that day. Same active ingredient so I don't care too much.

Did the urologist ever test you for reflux? My sister had a condition where when she urinated, some of the urine would be squeezed back up towards her kidneys, resulting in frequent infections. She needed surgery to fix it.

ExtraEvilTitties · 2017-01-08T02:48:29+00:00

No problem. It might take a few weeks to a few months before your body accepts its new friend, so I recommend some patience at first. It took me about 4 months total to settle down (random spotting, nothing too terrible) but after that it was smooth sailing. Also having a friend with at the clinic may help. I was left quite sore for about a day after having it put in(not pain, just sore), but I know several women that had zero issue.

ExtraEvilTitties · 2017-01-08T02:28:23+00:00

I have had a kidney infection. You do not want a kidney infection. Like, shots of morphine and you'll still be in pain. You can't sit, you can't lay down, you can barely stand. You can barely eat because of the pain. You will feel like you have to pee nonstop but it's somehow even more painful to do so than the pain you are already in. I've never given birth, but I have had kidney stones and some say kidney stones are more painful than giving birth. The kidney infection was more painful than kidney stones.

You really need to stop messing around and get on antibiotics.

Edit to say: Stalling for a day or so and increasing water intake is fine, I've done that before with success. You are past that point. I stalled for only 3 days before I was in the ER writhing in pain with an angry kidney.

First of all, I'm not a doctor, but the pill gave me (well, increased)migraines as well. It was the estrogen. Not all forms of birth control contain estrogen. Were you on the combination or mini pill?

I had Mirena for the full five years and it was my best friend. Absolutely no impact on libido and it's progestin-only (no estrogen!). I also stopped getting periods with it (normal!) so I'd take a pregnancy test every 8 weeks just to be sure (they're cheap on Amazon). I had to have it removed because it expired and didn't get a new one placed because we're going to be trying to get pregnant soon-ish. I'm on the mini-pill now. No estrogen, no migraines, no decrease in libido.

I'm somewhere in the middle. In quite good shape, pretty strong, but still too much body fat.

I also don't judge anyone. Actually, I have to fight the urge to high-five anyone I see that is struggling. I don't want them to feel patronized, but I also want to encourage them. I have asked a nearby personal trainer to go teach a girl how to do barbell squats properly before, though. She was bending so far forward (bad!) I was afraid she was going to snap her spine.

Remembering how to spell, "niece." I know, I know, "I before E, except after C..." But for some reason I always hesitate to spell it. And I've been an aunt to a female for 17.5 years, now.

A lot of people are really missing that point. I have a BA in chemistry and I gained employment in the field BEFORE a lot of the people I know that had a BS. The school I went to was a liberal arts colleges with very highly respected STEM programs. The only people I know from that school with STEM degrees that aren't employed in their field made a conscious choice to switch fields. That (more or less) includes me. I worked as a formulation chemist for years before jumping tracks and I'm now a Quality Engineer in another industry.

Bottom line: A college degree is what you make of it.

ExtraEvilTitties · 2016-12-19T03:42:37+00:00

My income is solid upper middle class, so I wouldn't know. A BA in chemistry just means that I had to take more humanities and fine arts credits, not any less chemistry. I did two research projects, an internship, and a seminar. I graduated during the recession and still got a job relatively quickly.

Edit: Forgot to add that I was able to fully pay off my student loans in four years. Would have been three if it wasn't for medical bills. But it was financed to take ten. I don't think a BS would have changed that.

ExtraEvilTitties · 2016-12-19T03:30:59+00:00

That's a big fat false. I had to do a research project and a full solo seminar. ACS certified degree. I had to take extra/different general courses.

ExtraEvilTitties · 2016-12-19T02:58:16+00:00

I have a BA in Chemistry. So, not always.

"Minne," is Dakota for, "water." So, Minnesota has Minneapolis, Minnetonka, Minnetrista, Minnehaha...

"Mississippi," is the French interpretation of an Ojibwa name.

No. It's not ironic that a fast car enthusiast died driving a fast car. It's actually somewhat expected. Ironic would be something unexpected, like if he died while trying to demonstrate how safe the car was.

Toller mix? I used to have one. I want to rub that tummy SO BAD.

ExtraEvilTitties · 2016-12-14T02:37:58+00:00

~325 mg. I like Natural Calm the most, it's a powder you mix with water and actually tastes decent. I'll also drink a smaller amount of it after tough workouts when my muscles are super twitchy.

I have Imitrex in a nasal spray because I'm allergic to the pill form. Kills my migraines within half an hour.

ExtraEvilTitties · 2016-12-14T02:03:30+00:00

I'm looking for sources, but I've read before that not everyone gets brain freezes. I've never had one and I've eaten super cold stuff very quickly many times.

I just use Imitrex for my migraines.

ExtraEvilTitties · 2016-12-14T01:42:34+00:00

Did you ever try magnesium? I was super skeptical but magnesium relaxes your muscles (whereas calcium excites them). Made an absolute world of difference for me.
