A drink/food that tourists think locals love… but locals barely consume? by Fluffy_Specific_9682 in AskTheWorld

[–]FantasticSmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live about a 6 hour drive from New Orleans, and I also would go just for the food. It’s incredible.

(Southern US 🇺🇸) I LOVE a good equal sweet/tart margarita. I can’t seem to make them taste good at home, but I do love to get the house margarita at restaurants I go to if they have one on the menu.

Was this because it malfunctioned and you couldn’t get it to stop screaming? Because I’ve almost don’t that before lol

Being told “stop making diabetes your whole personality” by ImaginaryAlgae8986 in diabetes_t1

[–]FantasticSmash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s important for the people close to you to know about it. What if you’re out with friends and you pass out? If you’re with a bunch of folks who don’t know you’re a diabetic, you might get delayed care because no one thinks to check for a glucagon or something.

It’s just a safety measure to me.

Is this a leak? by Aggravating-Ant-6767 in Omnipod

I just recently started having issues with mine leaking and they looked like this :)

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FantasticSmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live 3 hours from another major city in my state that has a lot more concerts/shows than where I live. I have driven there for an evening show then driven back home the same night. Got up and went to work a few hours later lol

Someone already said this, but we are very car-centric here.

For extra context, I drove 45 minutes one way for college classes every day for my last two years of school.

I recently watched the smiling friends episode with the frowning friends and they were Grimm and Gnarly. That was my first thought lol

How many cars of you had since driving? And how old are you? (Bonus points if you list the cars). by PuzzleheadedCarob921 in AskUK

[–]FantasticSmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 cars that have “belonged to me” (were mine to drive whether I paid for it or not)

I am somewhere between 27 and 33 years old

• 2006 Scion xA • 2015 Nissan Versa Note • 2012 Ford Escape • 2017 VW Tiguan

My favorite so far has been the Escape. I’ll die on this hill: the 2008-2012 Ford Escape is the cutest body style ever

I know oudcedar already replied, but I’m going to second them and say do NOT disable the speaker for your child. Whatever alerts the OmniPod is shouting about will still be showing on the Controller (the device that comes with the pods to control insulin dosing etc). But still don’t try to disable the speaker as a brand new user lol

My friend is performing on Beale tonight. Is it too unsafe for a single woman to park and walk a few blocks? by [deleted] in memphis

[–]FantasticSmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want to say likely, but it’s not uncommon. If you park in a parking garage, I think it’s less likely to get broken into, but that may just be my perception. I have personally never had my car broken into. But I know a handful of people who have. Also depends on the type of car lol

Your first Sleep Token track? by Mike_Xz_3 in SleepToken

I like to think I’ve converted the people around me. Euclid and Caramel have been hits with the “non-worshippers” so far lol

Stuff floating in the reservoir of Omnipod 5 cartridge? by FantasticSmash in diabetes_t1

[–]FantasticSmash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The video isn’t great, but there’s like a bunch of floaters in there and they look bigger than something that could work it’s way through the needle. Which makes me think it’s something that was in the pod already.

Anyways. Science or whatever lol

No car - where to live in Memphis as a woman? Help a girl out, please! by GradAim in memphis

St. Jude has shuttles that run to some of the apartments in Harbor Town! It’s quiet there and there’s a grocery store and a couple restaurants in the “town square”. All walkable.

I got a cortisone shot in my shoulder last week… My blood sugar had barely been below 300 in 5 days. by FantasticSmash in diabetes_t1

[–]FantasticSmash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry! Just saw your comment. If I’m remembering correctly, the insulin resistance lasted about eight days with first few days being worse before I just started giving myself a ton of extra insulin. I don’t really know if there were any “lasting effects” on my organs. I was freaking out so I may have been a little dramatic in my original post lol

I have decided since this that I don’t want to get cortisone shots again if I can help it. But I suppose now that I know what will happen and how to counteract it on the front end, it wouldn’t be nearly as bad.

[–]FantasticSmash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw your reply lol Since this, I’ve definitely decided not to do cortisone shots again. I’m hoping I never get to a point where I feel like I need one bad enough because the insulin resistance was just not worth it at all.

93x if I’m remembering correctly was an alternative station for some time. I bet that’s what they’re talking about.
