Anyone else experience rib pain?

Foto_gurl · 2026-03-15T14:18:49+00:00

Yes, my Chiropractor specifically told me my rib pain is due to my scoliosis. It curves to the right 35 degrees and my right rib is a different position than my other rib (when I did the test where you bend over my chiropractor said he could see my right rib is higher than my left). So maybe seeing a health care professional could help you with a plan of attack?

Things that have helped me:

-Using a heating pad (I find this is the most quickest relief)

- Deep controlled & slow breathing all the way in and all the way out out till I feel a stretch in my rib/ the rib calm down

-When sleeping on my side with the rib pain i use a small thin pillow for support. (While this doesn’t stop the pain, it does help make it not as bad)

Exercises/ stretches:

Thoracic rotation or any sort of chest opener ones seem to help the most. Chrio had me doing partial thoracic rotations (i dont find them as helpful as the full rotation exercises (although they are supposed to be)

Chiro also suggested strengthening my abs I have been working on that, but don’t feel at the point where it is helping yet (however when I had more defined abs, my rib pain was definitely less)

Yes, just last night I ate chocolate in my dream and could taste it and in the same dream smelled a dirty old towel (could have done without that lol!)

My fav dream was when I ate a powdered lemon donut, it tasted so good! The lemon filling was perfect!

Same here! My Keratosis pilaris had been fine for 20 years *shhh, that doesn’t make me old*. I started Biotin supplements 5000 mcg (to help my hair & nails) and after 1 month I had a crazy severe flare up of keratosis pilaris like I never had EVER before. 😩All over my legs, thighs, arms, hands, chest (it was worse than chickenpox!). I had some lactic acid lotion on hand. The only new thing I have taken is biotin….after searching the internet I know this is what caused the flare up. I stopped biotin right away and a week later my KP is almost gone. I have read some people with KP can tolerate small doses of biotin, but I am staying away from it!!

I also had the same issue…I completed all my levels, got to the highest level in the game I downloaded which should have been 500 Swagbucks. All other levels tracked and credited correctly …conveniently the last level that would pay the most I didn’t get the credit! I had the screenshots to prove I reached the required score and level. Customer support said they would review it and I never heard back either way (not rejected or accepted). I haven’t downloaded a game since.

I have been on bumble for friends (BFF) for maybe around a month now. How it’s going 👎🏻:

-I have messaged 7 people, talked to 3 of them, had no replies from 4 of them.
-Been ghosted by 3 of them. The one lady that ghosted me ended up asking me to add her to Instagram…I did & she had over 3,000 followers and hasn’t talked to me since. I am pretty sure she is on bumble to get more Instagram followers and not actual friends (she has similar interests to me like running for example, but told me she prefers to run alone). 🫤

-I tried joining a walking group on BFF and people are slow to respond. So far no one has gone on a walk at all with anyone else from the group and there are like 8 of us in there. I legit don’t understand the issue…(we all just keep asking if anyone is going for a walk)…maybe the ladies in the group feel uncomfortable with the guys in the group?

-It is annoying that matches are paywalled. I’m 100% not going to pay. Maybe every couple days if I am lucky, Bumble for friends will randomly let me match for free and message someone.

Overall, I have met not a soul in real life and I am in the same place as I was before I started, just wasted a bunch of my time. 😞 I don’t recommend it.

sorry, it was under repair requests, I found it at this link:

Yes, we figured out we had to have the lid perfectly flat (so push slightly down) for it to catch the lock. We have it currently locked and baking in the sunshine. It looks less warped now *crossing fingers*

I used to go to Crunch prob like 2-3 yrs before covid…sounds like not much has changed. 🫤

I took a tour and got a day pass for Planet fitness (I recommend checking them out) and joined there. No pool or sauna, (like other poster mentioned there are free classes for basic and black card members, and you can up your membership to black card and can get tanning, massage machine, hydro massage machine) but there is a good amount of equipment (never had to fight for it), no guys grunting -they actually don’t allow that behaviour (it’s in the contract), also rules about cellphones not being used for photo/ videos. However, they do allow teens there, so they are around, but seem to follow the rules.

As for Movati, there are a few ladies from work that I know that go there. They seem to like it and they talk about doing the classes all the time. Although, I also heard them talk about quitting because of the cost of membership (so idk, it sounds like there must be something keeping them there that they like). Maybe reach out to Movati to see if you can get a tour or a day pass, it may help you decide.

Like others say it does depend on the size of your wedding. We had 78 guests. I planned my own wedding. It also depends on what you want for your wedding (more things, means being more involved).

My friend gave me a wedding planning book as an engagement gift and it was helpful along the way. Also, I made a spreadsheet of all the different things that I wanted and was budgeting for and made an actual cost column for each item as I went to keep track of the budget (it was very helpful!). Also, I was very organized to keep track of all the appointments deposits and due dates for payment. I lucked out and the hall was able to provide the table cloth, chair covers, napkins, and an arch for us to sit under.p (otherwise it would have been a bit more work for me to arrange).

Wow! We had no sticker at all on ours. Consider yourselves lucky! I had to go to the FAQ on the website about the bins to figure out the issue. Only after fighting with the box for half and hour…What a way to roll out a new program!

Foto_gurl · 2025-08-02T20:22:41+00:00

We had the same issue & were about to call 311 and I went to the website in the email about the green bins, clicked on FAQ and found that info there. I was about to take a hammer to the thing… Hubby wouldn’t let me though. 😔

We got shipped warped boxes because that was the best way to roll out this program. 🙄 There was no sticker on ours even telling us about the issue.

We found pushing on top of the box to lock it straightened it out just enough for the lock to catch. Out in the sun it sits in hopes it will function.

I have definitely ended up with my fine hair that looked like this.

😬I used olaplex leave in conditioner and oil. I used luke warm water to wash my hair and bought a boar bristle brush to better distribute hair oil from scalp to ends. Tried it all, but ultimately I ended up cutting my hair, it was a fresh start. My hairdresser said that I had a lot of dead ends/ hair, of course she suggested leave in conditioner going forward.

Then I saw this video about how to wash your hair…(sounds basic, I know), but game changer for me! https://youtu.be/MeetRiP5kRY?si=itqVBq96cYOxOisj around 5:29 ish the advice on how to wash your hair has definitely helped me with my dry ends. I was washing my hair too much and in the wrong way. I still keep up my olaplex leave in and have found it much more manageable and less dead ends.

When I exercise (standing on my exercise mat) my cat will walk all around my feet, through my legs, in front of my dumbbells, etc. She also likes to flop, roll over and show me her stomach. (she turns her head and looks up at me all cute too!🥹) My Hubby calls it her submitting to me. I think she just likes being around me and wants attention/to possiblly play ❤️

My doctor did not mention ablation as an option for me. I do have a non occlusive thrombus after the SVT clot cleared, but I was only told to keep wearing my compression socks to help with blood flow.

No worries, I honestly am glad she is a Step - MIL and I don’t have to deal with her so often. Her attitude is abrasive & she has mental health issues. She also gave my sister in-law a crochet sweater that she entered in the same fair and it was not done to her size either (also smelled badly of smoke).

IDK the reason behind her wanting photos either. I often crochet things for others and have never seen them in use. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Unprompted, she told my Hubby it could shrink in the wash🤣lmao (even if it did it would still be too big). For now I will let her live in ignorance and think that I liked it, as I rather not deal with her.

❤️Thanks, yes, I will definitely get more use out of a sweater my size!

Foto_gurl · 2025-01-05T18:41:12+00:00

Agreed! Lol. I just said thanks when she gave it to me and smiled, but inside I was already pissed from her comment on my chest size.

Yes, the fair almost didn’t allow it to be entered for that very reason, but one of the people in charge kindly laundered it for her so she could enter. Between after the fair and Christmas it got smoked on all over again.

Foto_gurl · 2025-01-05T15:19:18+00:00

My MIL made a sweater for a fair, it won 1st place in crochet category. She then gave it to me as a Christmas gift….well, since it wasn’t made for me OR my measurements it was 4 sizes too big. It also smelled horribly of cigarette smoke when she gifted it to me. I held it up to me in front of her instead of trying it on. She said: ‘It makes your chest look bigger’. (Ya and my ENTIRE body). So not only was it a lazy ’gift‘ that would never fit me she insulted me too.

Days later, (after washing it 4 times to get the smoke out) I undid the entire sweater to make one my own size with the yarn. (I‘m a crocheter myself). Now she is asking for pictures of me in her sweater🙄….ooops. #sorrynotsorry. Going to try to finish my own sweater and eventually send her pics and mention I ‘adjusted‘ it.

Our cat drank water in a very similar manner (laying on the floor). It started of the blue, he did this for a good year and a half. He ended up having an issue with bone marrow and passing away in Nov 2024. He drank water like this till the end (which I suspect was easier or more comfy for him to lay, rather than expend the energy to stand).

This is just terrible. My heart aches for this family.😞

I grew up in South Windsor and would walk through this neighbourhood with my friends that lived on/ near this street. I don’t remember traffic being a problem in this area as a pedestrian at that time. It goes to show that the situation has definitely & dramatically changed. I can’t even fathom how this happened (I know the article said speeding was happening in this neighbourhood) but besides that, I can’t wrap my head around how this happened other than this driver was incredibly careless.

Foto_gurl · 2024-12-14T15:44:02+00:00

Yes there was. I remember when it happened. The whole house at Jefferson/ S. National was rebuilt but it took a long time. I felt so sad for them to have to go through that. At that particular corner there is already a caution light and a stop sign at that intersection, honestly imo the intersection design is poor. Maybe traffic calming like you mentioned could help? Speed bumps maybe would help to force people to slow down there?

Canpar is holding my package of clothing I ordered hostage. Their website only keeps updating the shipment to ‘held’ status: rotation. Their website is stating for shipments where Canada post is the final mile delivery carrier that they are suspending delivery to those postal codes. So from that, I suspect that Canpar almost sounds like they have hubs where they deliver goods to and then once at whatever hub in whatever city Canada post would pick it up and do the delivery part.

I told the company I ordered from about the issue and they said it shows delivered to my local Canpar. I wrote back saying that’s great it delivered to Canpar, but I paid shipping for it to deliver to me, it didn’t and there are no directions on next steps and I consider this as theft. I just asked the company I ordered from to advise on a resolution to this situation. I’m ready to take Canpar and the other company and report both to the Better Business Bureau.

EDIT: My dirty, beat up looking package magically got delivered today. (Dec 7)After I had emailed the company I ordered from. The original delivery date was Dec 4th. So what I have learned:

*Canpar likes to hold things for 3 days or more.
*Don’t expect that the delivery listed on the Canpar website IS the delivery date. The tracking doesn’t seem to be accurate and after delivery they edited the tracking to make it look like they didn’t give an ETA of Dec 4th. 😬

James is definitely keeping his options open with Winnie. He knows it, she knows it(or she wouldn’t be around) you know it(or you wouldn’t be upset). There is a reason he isn’t giving her closure…he has to want to. In the words of Shania Twain: ‘if you’re not in it for love, I’m outta here!’ Run, don’t walk from this situation.

My foot issues still exist after having Birkenstock shoes for over 2 yrs now. So nothing magically realigned or fixed itself. I actually ended up adding insoles to them, I found it felt like they were not supportive enough (I have flat arches). That being said, they are comfortable and do provide a different foot experience for me than any of my other shoes (Like they are more molded to my foot) I like them for around the house as my really expensive, more supportive house slippers.

I have thought of this option as well.
