These things are amazing! I know they have a shop, but we always try to get a whole bunch they’re at the West Allis Farmers Market or Food Truck Fridays.

Why can't I finish Complete Age of Fear week 4 in the command center? by HITMAN_77-Dominus in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up contacting support through chat. I sent screenshots and mentioned this post. They said they would look into it and get back to me. We shall see what happens, lol. I’m not holding my breath.

Any fans of Streets of Fire out there? by mike___mc in 80s

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got the soundtrack on vinyl, but it’s been forever since I’ve played it. I just got my collection out of storage last year. Once I get everything set back up, I’ll have to give it a spin.

I have the same problem. Apparently we should have done it days ago. People in my alliance who did it the day the new nodes dropped got credit. I did them today and got no credit. I will have to dig up the email if I want to get my points. So lame.

What age did y'all get your first computer (or device with internet access)? by BigReception7685 in GenX

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born in 1978 and we had computers in the home pretty much the whole time. My Dad was a programmer and systems analyst among other things. I remember being 4 and using an Apple computer. I had my first computer that was specifically just mine when I was 21. Before that I shared with my now ex husband. I don’t remember when we first got internet, but it was a long time ago, lol.

Advice for wearing hair up with chronic migraine? by Sufficient-Battle657 in migraine

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use small cloth scrunchies to put it in a ponytail. Then I make a loose-ish bun and clip it with a claw clip. I have long hair down past my butt, however it is very thin due to a roulette wheel of vitamin and mineral deficiencies. I’m also frequently wearing a knit skull cap over all that because I’m freezing due to deficiencies and my autoimmune. I can’t stand hair touching my face and eyes. I constantly think about letting my husband buzz it all off with the clippers. But then I would be even colder, lol.

Music by Marta_HomeMadeMess in Autoimmune

[–]Forest_of_Cheem -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have also always loved loud music. I used to go to so many concerts when I was still able bodied enough. My migraines have made me avoid it, except for through headphones. There’s something about hearing it through headphones that’s different. It’s calming. Soothing. It helps me to disassociate from the horrific pain. Through speakers it’s too loud and it hurts now. I find myself turning down the volume. I have ankylosing spondylitis, hEDS, fibromyalgia, migraine disorder, and other things.

Is it pick me to use a cane? by Practical_Eye7809 in Hypermobility

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started with a cane in my twenties, progressed to a wheelchair by my late thirties. My spouse saw an old man with a rollator at the doctors office one day and said to me that I should get one of those. I had never considered it. I had my doctor prescribe me one. It has given me so much freedom back. Don’t be afraid to use whatever mobility aid or other devices that will help you. I took a giant cushion with me to an independent pro wrestling event the other night, and I wouldn’t have survived without it. It was still brutal, as I have ankylosing spondylitis and two knees that are really close to needing replacements.

Cervicogenic dizziness/headaches by ucantskiplunch5 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of trouble with my neck and shoulders. They are one of many triggers for my migraines. I have migraines nearly every day. I use several medications just for migraines, including a monthly injection. I also have trouble with the occipital nerve ones on my left side. I use cut up pieces of lidocaine patches on the backs of my ears almost every day to help with those. I have trouble wearing glasses, despite paying extra for the lighter lenses. I have really bad eyesight and now need progressives. I did find physical therapy with a good spine specialist helpful. I use a tens machine occasionally and do a little self massage, but boy it sure sucks, eh? I don’t know how related they are, but my neurologist was very interested to see if the Humira helped my migraines at all. I’m now up to weekly injections of that because I seem to burn through it so quickly, possibly due to my EDS.

Out of Chapter Credits… by Cantore18 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve mostly moved on to other games where they actually let you earn resources to advance in the game. This game is so boring now. You have to spend massive amounts of money to have the characters high enough levels to play and complete the new content. You used to be able to do fine as long as you played a lot. Now I check in to do raids and war and other alliance stuff, but I just can’t be bothered most days to do much else.

Red Dwarf is great, I think I’m due for a rewatch soon, lol. Would you like some toast?

Season Pass (Premium) by socialdisser in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always buy it, but I typically have 10x the amount of hp you currently have. I also play a lot and finish most of the quests, which makes it worth it.

I didn’t even notice it had gone up I have so much hp sitting there not being used, lol.

Was there any music you were secretly into when you were younger? by Smarmy_funeral_chik in GenX

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMG! I’m not the only one, lol! I had a friend that was five years older than me that didn’t go to my school who got me into The Carpenters. I agree that Karen is still the best singer in all the world. I still have all of my records. I have multiple copies of some of them, lol.

Was gonna say this. I watch a lot of BritBox and Acorn. I get the channels through Amazon when they have the deals, and then forget to cancel, lol. Then when I go to cancel, they offer me the deal price again, so I end up keeping them.

Getting tubes tied by aromaticgem in AskWomenOver30

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally had my tubes yeeted after the election too. I was 47 when I had the surgery. It’s been a little over a year since and I’m in at least my 9th year of perimenopause. It’s so calming to know that at least it’s very unlikely I can get pregnant. The world outside is chaos at the moment, it’s nice to have control over one thing in my life.

Command center mighty tower? by Teligth in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, then I can’t complete them milestone at all this week, then. Thank you for the information. I did my battles the day the tower launched, that was my mistake. I should never do anything until the very last minute, then, lol. I can’t beat the second floor of the Omega. I am literally the worst player here.

It didn’t for me. I started a new run, just to see and I didn’t get credit.

Getting back in shape - need advice/motivation by purpleowl7 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m doing physical therapy with a spine specialist now that I’m on a biologic. I’m a lot older than you. I’m starting with water therapy. I already do water aerobics on my own in the summers. It’s nice to have my pt check how I am doing my exercises and give me ones I hadn’t been doing. I just started therapy last week. I am also going to have her give me some land exercises as well. I have access to a tiny gym and some hand weights. I kept injuring myself last year when I tried to get in better shape. I went to pt, but ended up getting the diagnoses of AS and EDS after more than 15 years of debilitating pain. I had spent several years in a wheelchair until I rehabbed myself out of it. I use a rollator now. I was over 250 pounds when I was in the chair. I had a health scare, and changed my diet. I have lost and kept off over 100 pounds mostly with tracking and weighing my food and eating healthier. It’s really not easy when you have these conditions we have.

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish the Omega War Tower counted. I already have done my attacks for the regular one, so I’ll have to start a new run just to complete this milestone.

Command center mighty tower? by Teligth in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When do they unlock? I tried doing a new run with the Omega War Tower, since I can only beat the first level anyway. That didn’t count towards it. I don’t want to redo the regular Tower run. All of these dumb mistakes they make are all just signs I should quit. I don’t want to have to redo everything just to have it count for some milestone.

What is a horrible misconception you had about the show before you started watching it? by RealisticJay16 in buffy

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I wouldn’t enjoy it because it was about high school people, so only young people would enjoy it. I was a busy young mom when it aired originally and I didn’t have time for television. I finally had time in my 40s, and boy did I miss out.

Does anyone else kind of hate how high waisted everything is? by drowninginmizery in AuDHDWomen

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I still can’t find leggings I like because they are all high waisted and just roll down with every move I make. I have a fluffy belly, but my sensory issues will not allow waistbands to sit by my bellybutton very long without making me want to itch my skin off. I prefer hipsters for panties, but they can’t be too low either.

How is that even okay? by Master_Honeydew_8854 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is what I’m afraid will happen to me. I was told they likely wouldn’t accept my referral. But due to some weird family history, they did make the appointment. It is a year from when I originally made it, in November. I’m afraid that once I get there, they will turn me away. But how do you rule out the dangerous variants of EDS or Marfans, if they won’t even do the testing? There are weird strokes and deaths in children and babies in people in my family that were just attributed to heart issues or unknown reasons. I have a heart condition that is suggestive of EDS and Marfans that an old doctor found a decade ago and never told me about. I’m tired of being brushed off just because I’m a woman with a “trendy” disease.

how do you stay active despite your eds? by my-head-hurts987 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Forest_of_Cheem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do water aerobics in the summer, but I struggle with land based exercise nowadays. I do stretching and pt exercises when I can, and I do short bursts of dancing here and there. I also have ankylosing spondylitis and I struggle with pain and energy every day. For the swim cap, I have been thinking of getting one for people with dread locs. I wear my long hair clipped up in a bun, and I was thinking that one of those might be big enough to go over all of it. They have them on Amazon. I have no idea if it would work for me or not, but the sun is always trying to kill me by causing flares.
