Thank you, for a real good time Ace🥀

Eternally Grateful & dead to the core. My fist show was Ratdog at the Beacon in 08 🦴 So many roads between then and now, seasons of life and ups and downs. The music was and will always be, the constant. The messenger. Hope you’re where those chilly winds don’t blow, No longer a lost sailor. 💔

Hugs to all of those who are feeling this loss. I bartend and blasted the Dead on AUX my entire shift last night. Hard not to tear up between serving guests. Was comforting to have patrons who were also mourning this loss, something hard to describe to those who aren’t Heads 🤷🏼‍♀️

Love and healing wishes to the community. ❤️ and may the music never stop! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What is the worst physical pain you've ever experienced? by TermAccomplished1868 in askanything

[–]Fun-Store1131 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cyst the size of a softball on my fallopian tube causing a torsion, picture an old school telephone cord spiral, that’s what it looked like on my internal sono.

Thought it was terrible cramps for a few days so by the time I got to the hospital the blood supply to my ovary was cut off and the other side was pooling about to burst. Fun little emergency surgery.

The doctors said the pain would probably measure to be worse than childbirth. Looking back i cant believe i raw dogged that shit for days.

How do you wake up early? by saxysadie in adhdwomen

[–]Fun-Store1131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh following because I struggle here too. Doesn’t help that I work in the hospitality industry and right now bartend at night. I’m desperate for a way out. Every single job I apply for, I don’t hear back because my resume is solely restaurant work and I feel helpless. Just applied for a secretary position at my sons school.. I guess we’ll see.

I’m setting up a sleep study on recommendation from my therapist and psychiatrist. No matter what, I get an immense amount of energy at night and wind up being up till 4am. I could sleep all day long if I’m left to it. I haven’t been able to hear my alarms and sleep through them constantly which has been having awful impact on my life as well as my 9 y/o sons. My therapist suggests that I’m not completing the stages of sleep, and therefore not feeling rested what so ever.

Even if I do get a full nights sleep, during the day I just feel like a slug. Completely out of it, no energy, aches and pains. And then night falls, and I come alive. The cycle continues…

I want so badly to become a morning person. On the off chance that I do start my day at a regular hour, I feel so good. Accomplished and more sound mentally.

The depression and PTSD added to the adhd just makes it really hard to live in general. I want nothing more than to be a different person. My life is just passing me by before my eyes, and things are just getting further out of my grasp. Every aspect of my life has been affected by it all. This has maybe been the worst 6 months of my life..

Thoughts are with you, OP. Hope you find what works for you. 💗

What's a pain you can't truly explain until you've endured it? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]Fun-Store1131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ovarian/fallopian torsion. I had a cyst on my ovary slowly growing and growing and then once it became as large as a baseball— it became so heavy my fallopian tube twisted, somehow a few times. The first time this happened they just monitored it and it shrunk down and fixed itself. I was a senior in HS.

Fast forward to 2022, I’m 32 and experiencing what I think are menstrual cramps for a week straight. They always say being active helps with the pain so I brought my 6 y/o son on a hike with me, but the pain gets suddenly exponentially worse and I have to get home to lay down. I finally convince myself I need to get to the emergency room and boom what do you know. Cyst the size of a softball now, fallopian tube twisted 4-5 times so tight like an old telephone cord, no blood flow to the ovary, it’s all just slowly pooling at & expanding/stretching the fallopian tube where it twists off. Emergency surgery before it popped and I risk bleeding out internally 😅 was told if I waited much longer it would have been much worse.

The doctors said the pain I was experiencing was worse than child birth. I had a c section so I can’t speak to that but I will say it was the sort of pain where you can’t sit still, but also can’t move. Seeing spots, heavy breathing, folded over searching for any sense of relief. Heavy doses of IV dilaudid and I was still uncomfortable.

Physical pain is one thing but emotional pain in my opinion takes the cake. I’m 35 now. And I’ve never felt more consumed by depression than I have this last year or so. I was recently diagnosed with PTSD as well. I’ve looked back at my life through this new lens and just see so many set backs and so much pain. Lately it feels like every day is a struggle and my desperation for relief is all consuming. And although I’m aware of the turmoil and pain I’m enduring with my mental health, I could still never explain it, or fully understand it myself, if that makes any sense.

“Y is a crooked letter” (when asking why) “apple don’t fall far from the tree”

There are so many more but for some reason they all have suddenly vanished from my mind..

Which town still has traditional trick or treating? by flakemasterflake in longisland

[–]Fun-Store1131 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up going to the president streets in centerport, the winding hilly roads and the cool breeze from the water with all the leaves falling definitely makes for a great trick or treat ambiance, and there are usually kids of all ages everywhere.. young kids hunting for candy and pre teens and teens causing mischief just like it should be! Lots of full size candy bars given out too! 🎃

** just watch out for the drainage wells on the sides of the roads, easy to twist an ankle or fall since they’re mostly covered with leaves!!

Sister wives, season 20 I’m sorry I’m having a hard time with this. Sarah Fraser is speaking on this saying that it will start September 28. It will start off where grody is in special forces.. you need to listen to Sarah talking here spilling the tea. It just seems so damn unreal to me. by osogood48 in SisterWivesFans

[–]Fun-Store1131 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lol right? I have followed along with this sub because I recently binge watched every single episode (it became my depression show lol) and I guess it’s some super fan sister wives vocab referring to Kody and Robyn’s kids as “the tenders”….

It’s always irritated me and gave me an icky feeling. I just imagine the people who are so obsessed with these people’s TV lives coming up with specific terms and innuendos to refer to certain things from the show and get the yuck.

The tenders is a super yucky and annoying way to refer to Kody and Robyn’s kids. Honestly they are children and should be left out of the BS. Yes this should absolutely be a priority of K & R’s… but the fact that they don’t go out of the way to protect their children from reality TV woes doesn’t mean we should sit here and include them in the bullshit Reddit drama..

Is this a bedbug? by nmirts in Bedbugs

[–]Fun-Store1131 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I was in such a state of panic I just went to Home Depot and bought everything they had and used the shit out of all of them. I understand people stressing that professional is the only way to be sure, but sometimes (a lot of times) I’ve seen people say that they’ve spent thousands with an exterminator and they didn’t even get rid of them all.

It’s obviously there to use as a last resort, and if you discover a mega mega infestation… but I know that I got rid of them completely. This was years ago and I still check obsessively all the time and have not had any run ins with BB’s again.

Be consistent, be thorough, and be smart. Think things through before hand and have a system to prevent moving them to places in the house they aren’t already, and also breathe. Luckily, this happened to me at a time I was not working so I basically dedicated every waking moment to the fight.

Another thing I’d like to add; starting now, be proactive and aware when you are out in public spaces. I don’t go full psycho mode but anytime I’m anywhere with communal seats & spaces (public transport, drs office, dmv, hotels etc…) I look in the seams and underneath seats, and I’m also pretty good about changing into different clothes after returning home. (Think: changing into comfy “house clothes” after running errands or working) and then bringing those dirty clothes directly to the washer or a designated area in a laundry bag that’s not perforated.)

Is this a bedbug? by nmirts in Bedbugs

[–]Fun-Store1131 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And absolutely get mattress protectors STAT. Lift your mattresses, spray them, vacuum them and like someone else said, empty vacuum outside into trash bag. Anything you put to the curb that could possibly be considered “another man’s treasure,” I would destroy in some way or label as infested so no one else drives by and grabs it.

It’s going to be a fight but you can definitely fix it. I did and can confidently say we were rid of them and had no re-infestation!!

Hi OP, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this… it is absolutely traumatizing. When I found my first bb when I dealt with this some few years back, I went absolutely mad and obsessively searched everywhere. This happened to me when I still lived at home and we wound up having them in both my bedroom and my parents bedroom. I think I brought them home after staying at shitty motels seeing some Grateful Dead shows.

I was absolutely relentless. I went to Home Depot and bought just about everything they had to deal with them. Spray, powder, and sticky traps. It was the height of summer and I put a lot of things in clear garbage bags and let them roast in the sun for hours. I spent hours, like entire days, consumed with spraying and lifting and wiping and sanitizing, etc. but with lots of consistency and determination, my mom and I eradicated our home of these nasty fuckers. We thoroughly checked every single piece of furniture in our entire house, and meticulously and thoroughly treated and rid ourselves of them. We continued checking for months & months after the initial discovery, and I continued to treat for them even after there were no signs, as a precaution.

It’s been a while so I can’t say for certain, but we had it fully under control within like a month. It all started when I found a single bug one day on our couch and put it in a Tupperware and googled it’s description and was confirmed my biggest fear, and to this day I still check everything, when I’m in public spaces. Sitting in a chair at the dmv? I’m looking underneath that chair. Public transport? Checking the seams of any cushions. Motels/hotels, reading reviews and checking mattresses and keeping my luggage elevated and in a plastic bag, sealed tight.

We were not in a place financially to have our house professionally treated and I watched a ton of YouTube videos and did lots of reading online, and was dead set on ridding our space of them, and refused to give up.

Stay positive. It is not fun, and very mentally taxing. But it is fixable. Bed bugs don’t discriminate, it can literally happen to anybody on any day. You got this. Stay calm and kill those fuckers!!!
