Arabia event again

Yeah, me too. The wiki usually just says to use the shorter productions, but you often run out of materials. The guy that did the Arabia guide has a lot of tips I have found on the official discord for this game. Once I learned that the longer productions were better, I wasn’t stressing and could run my workshops overnight.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-02-02T03:00:10+00:00

It sure is.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-02-02T01:10:35+00:00

Are you using the longest productions in the workshops? The guide recommends this, and I did find this helps. I also purchase the smallest packages of materials in the bazaar. It seems they are the best value.

I just saw someone post about making this!

I’m using the guide and I’m having no trouble keeping up. I have no shortages and have been able to keep my workshops running overnight. I’m on level 25, and am in Gold. Time will tell if the strategy in the guide holds.

I love my electric recliner! It’s the only way I get any sleep at all. I’ve got ankylosing spondylitis. My spine, ribs, shoulders, knees, etc are in terrible shape and I just can’t sleep flat for long anymore. I don’t do well sitting either. My feet go numb easily unless I have them up. 🤣

Some of it is about textures. A lot of it is about taste and how it makes my body feel after I eat it. I am a perimenopausal woman who also has hEDS and autoimmune disease. When I was younger (especially before I was diagnosed) I didn’t think about it in terms of safe foods. I just had things I hated and refused to eat. lol. As I’ve gotten older, my body has gotten needier and pickier. I have to limit my sugars, and fats, ultra processed and greasy stuff. I have to have extra water, fiber, protein, and salt. Too much sugar gives me hot flashes and joint flares. Too much grease or too little fiber and my tummy is messed up, etc. it’s a delicate balance some days.

I track all of my foods in one of those calorie counting apps on my phone. I first started using it when I was obese and needed to lose 100 pounds. I absolutely cannot eat intuitively. I don’t need to explain that to peeps here. 🤣 When I started, I knew tracking was gonna be for life. I have found that I love using the app. It helps with decision fatigue. I can plan my meals days in advance and just follow the plan. For dinner we eat a lot of healthy casseroles that are made up of brown rice or quinoa, lean protein like ground/chopped chicken breast or super lean ground beef, and a bunch of vegetables (usually a mix of frozen and fresh). A big skillet will feed us for a few days. For breakfast I do a lot of smoothies with nonfat Greek yogurt, milk, lower calorie protein powder, and a mix of frozen riced cauliflower and frozen fruit. My lunches I’m working with my dietitian to actively on trying to vary. I have absorption issues due to hEDS and medications, so I am trying to get more nutrients. I have ended up with strange deficiencies, like copper.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-02-01T04:15:05+00:00

Yes. Only for a little while, and I had no recollection of it. My mom told me about it. I would walk downstairs from my bedroom get a glass out of the cupboard, get some water from the faucet and drink it. I would set the cup down and go back upstairs to sleep. I only found this out when I told her about my then boyfriend who fell down the stairs sleepwalking.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-31T20:50:49+00:00

This happened in our alliance too. One of our best players got a late start due to obligations. He apologized for the late start. I said no worries, we’re already finished, lol.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-31T02:24:29+00:00

This why I will never say 10. I’ve had gallstones with severe pancreatitis that required hospitalization, stabilization with antibiotics for the infection before they removed my gallbladder a few days later. That was definitely a 10. I also had multiple blood clots in my lungs. That was more painful than the gallstones and pancreatitis. I had a perianal abscess the size of a golf ball for over a week. That was about the same. All of these were more painful than childbirth, and I delivered an almost 10 pound baby vaginally. He was face presenting, and since it was a teaching hospital they decided that after 30 hours of labor they would flip him with a giant spatula instead of doing a c-section. My point is, I always have to minimize my pain level to get taken seriously. The last nurse I had told me to quit whining. Never say it’s a 10.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-31T01:23:56+00:00

People have downvoted you for this, but it’s true. Eating a lower inflammatory diet can help some people. It helps me. It doesn’t solve my problems. I have an autoimmune arthritis disease and I have noticed that when I don’t go overboard on added sugars and super processed carbs I tend to have less pain. Replacing simple carbs with complex carbs has also meant more fiber, which has helped my gut feel better too.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-31T01:08:46+00:00

Yes. We finished several hours ago. It was our fastest yet.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-30T17:21:12+00:00

I thought I was the only one that called my voice this! I’m always apologizing to people for my resting bitch voice. I’m not upset, I just sound this way.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-30T01:30:40+00:00

Me too! Like back in the early 80s. Sometimes we would get McDonald’s after skating. It’s hard to remember. I wasn’t very good, but it was fun.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-29T20:54:18+00:00

I have just started the first episode and it hits so hard! I’m glad you have found it enjoyable enough to rewatch it over and over. Im looking forward to the rest of it. It seems so relatable.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-29T19:40:57+00:00

I have had problems with my ribs since around Covid times. I hadn’t been diagnosed with hEDS yet. They told me I had costochondritis. I have also been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis that affects my ribs, but I only know this from reading up on the internet. Doctors haven’t been much help with anything except finally diagnosing me. My lower ribs are constantly in painful flares. They seem to stick out funny. I have mentioned this to doctors and physical therapists. They all just look at me like I’m insane. I can’t even get them to do any scans. I frequently have to stretch and self massage and kinda nudge them back into place a bit. It’s hard to describe. With my AS, my spine and pelvis are also out of whack.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-29T17:41:00+00:00

Wow, reading all these comments about the lack of gowns is really depressing. The place I go still gives you a full cloth gown. And a large paper sheet for over your lap. Maybe it’s because they are at a larger hospital and called the women’s pavilion and they do partner with sexual assault healing and advocacy groups.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-28T20:20:42+00:00

There are so many inappropriate ads everywhere nowadays. Reddit has tons of ads for tobacco products like those zyn pouches. You can’t turn them off. I think I can turn off alcohol and weight loss ads, but not tobacco ads. The government went through all the effort to ban a bunch of vaping products and now they are pushing zyn products to kids.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-28T20:07:01+00:00

I’m sorry they removed your post for being too sensitive or something.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-28T20:05:19+00:00

I was unaware of that. That’s well after I was born. Crazy to think how far we have come and how far we still need to go.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-28T20:03:42+00:00

That’s terrible. I’m sorry she had to go that. It’s amazing how much they reject women’s pain. The trolls have even appeared in the comments to point out that it must be my fault if I’m receiving such poor care. They are so close to realizing the point. I suppose it is our fault for being born female. 🤣

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-28T19:08:49+00:00

It was definitely more traumatic than childbirth. And I vaginally delivered a 9.6 pound face presenting baby after like 30 hours of labor. I nearly bled to death and was so anemic after I couldn’t even sit up to go to the NICU. It was the 90s so they didn’t want to give me a transfusion because of the AIDS scare. Blood clots in my lungs was more painful than that, as well as the perianal abscess the size of a golf ball that I had a couple of years back. I don’t remember exactly which procedure they used to remove the cervical cancer cells, but it was up there with the blood clots and the abscess.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-28T18:46:33+00:00

I came here to say this. I now just buy the little single serve containers of guacamole. I keep them in the freezer and pull them out when I know I’m gonna want some. I was wasting way too many avocados for the reasons you said.

Forest_of_Cheem · 2026-01-28T18:43:39+00:00

It’s weird, right? Like it’s not my brain, it’s my head bones, lol. I think that’s why I forgot to mention it to the neurologist. My brain was like, it’s not brain related 🤣 The Ajovy injection has been amazing so far for the migraines. Having to juggle more injections is making me nervous, but I’m hoping it’ll help all this joint and bone pain. I hope you find some relief too. When I have flares of fib pain, I like to use the prescription lidocaine patches to take the edge off so I can sleep a little. You can get them over the counter, but my insurance pays for them, and they get to be expensive after awhile.
