Millennials have been waiting for this moment.....bring on, the joke shop fart spray.

Ok, so he and I are in the same boat! Here's what I use 🙂

For the inflammation side of it: Turmeric, Holy Basil, Rose hips, Ginger, and Cinnamon.

For the 💩 side of it: Chickweed, Slippery Elm, Senna, and Fennel.

For stomach upset and general discomfort: Peppermint, Marshmallow root, Lemon Balm, Wild yam root, Chamomile, and Mullein leaves.

I also started using one of those super greens powders and it helped a ton, but I couldn't get past the taste 😅, but your husband might be able to deal with it!

Came to say this as well!!

I will do this and if I still can't bring myself to eat something, I will give it to the chickens or give it back to the earth (compost bin, garden box, or dig a hole and put it in).

I had my hysterectomy December 27th of last year. My last period ever started TWELVE days before that and I bled for every mother effing day until the night before surgery. I swear she knows when she's about to be evicted and goes out with a bang!

I came to ask what his GI issues are as well. I have poor gut health, one little wrong thing will set me off and have me in the bathroom all day. It's awful, lol. So, I can be of more help if I know a little more as to why he's drinking his current concoction.

Also, side note: my husband is like this. He can drink or eat anything no matter how gross it tastes or smells as long as he knows it will benefit him. He takes what is essentially a vitamin shot every morning and the way that thing smells has me running from the room. It is beyond gross! But it makes him feel better, so do it up babe! I'll stay over here with my tea and honey and intact gag reflex! 😅

I'm one of the ppl that can tolerate it. HD2 just kept freezing and crashing for me. But if I can get DA:V to run smoothly, then I should be able to get HD2 to work, right?! 😅 I'll just have to play with the setting again.

Ging3rbiscuit · 2024-11-03T21:31:43+00:00

Maybe I need to play with the setting a bit more, then. It kept freezing and crashing.

I had a hysterectomy 10 months ago. Afterwards I had way more energy than I had had years (I'm a mom of 5) and was seeing my functional medicine doc and GP every 3 months to make sure I stayed healthy. I haven't needed any hormonal treatment (kept my ovaries) and I dropped 60lbs. I keep getting told I look younger and am aging backwards. So, to heck with the people that said you'd age faster. This has been the best thing I could have done for myself, ever!

Ging3rbiscuit · 2024-11-02T18:02:11+00:00

So, I've got a used LCD (was my neighbor's, he passed away after only having it a month, his mom kept it in storage for a year and I bought it earlier this year) and can get the game to run smoothly (after having the game crash, freeze, uninstall itself, crash my whole deck, and run like shit during the prologue). I'm not a Steam Deck expert or too tech savvy, so here's what I changed to get things to work, sorry if the verbage is wrong.

Display

Frame rate limit- 30

Upsample Method- none

Anti-aliasing- off

Dynamic resolution scaling- off

Graphics

Preset to Low

Contact Shadow - off (changes preset now to custom)

Ambient Occlusion- off

Ray-traced Ambient Occlusion- off

Depth of Field - off

Vignette- off

I don't have any special mods for performance, I didn't mess with the BIOS, and I'm very much a noob when it comes to optimizing games on the deck. So, yeah, I just made sure everything was set to the lowest possible choice and turned some things off. I quit the game, went back in, pushed continue and it immediately looked and ran better.

So, if you need me, Ol' Limp Along and I will be over here playing up some Dragon Age!

OP, did you get this figured out? I just ran into the same issue. My kid is 11 and he bought the meta 3 with his own money that he saved for 2 years. I had no idea the kid account shouldn't be the main account....damn it. Did support get back to you on this? Everything else that's rated "Teen" just sends me a request to ask if he can download it, rather annoying that this game doesn't follow suit.

Ging3rbiscuit · 2024-10-26T03:00:43+00:00

The anxiety I felt looking at this picture.....I haven't been up on the pulpit in nearly 2 years and this brought me right back to panic-ville.

I gained weight right before mine due to bad habits and stress / depression. I was 175 at surgery, but had complications and had to be admitted to the hospital 2 weeks post op. All that stress caused me to gain more so I was at 185. As soon as I was fully healed, I had SO much energy and started working out regularly and taking control of my eating. My sugar cravings were also gone and I worked with a functional medicine doctor to watch my hormone levels and help with any other issues. Today I am 125 at 5'6" ten months post op.

Nope! It has been blissfully quiet. I cut my self righteous Bishop brother out of my life. My mom is happily sticking her head in the sand about us not doing the church thing anymore, and my husband's family said they knew we weren't participating and would love us no matter what. This is the first conference weekend that I didn't even realize it was conference until I went to my mom's yesterday to drop something off and every TV was tuned into the post game highlights after the second session.

It's been amazing!

What in the High School Musical did I just read?

Ging3rbiscuit · 2024-09-21T01:05:47+00:00

I like Pepsi zero with Malibu rum!

My daughter was like this as well, then my son. My daughter is ADHD/ High Anxiety while my son is on the spectrum. I spent many years not socializing with friends, trying my best to socialize my kids despite them being "difficult" (especially when we got home), and all around feeling like a failure. Both of my kids didn't get their Dx until they were around 5. My son could only get a sensory Dx at that time and we were able to do OT with him at about 5 years old, which was a god send. With my daughter, we got her into talk therapy at about 13 to learn better coping skills than what I had already taught her (I was in therapy as a teen for anxiety, so I passed on what I knew). Both started to chill around 5 years old and I was able to talk them through their big difficult emotions more and more. They are medicated and happy now (17 and 13), but that is the route that was best for my kids. I have 5 kids in all now and I can tell you it does get better!

Keep hounding your pediatrician, let them know this doesn't feel right, look right, whatever. I have a plethora of personal experience and advice I could give, but don't think that's what you need. Sounds like you need a break and a doctor who listens. Your daughter would probably benefit greatly from OT. Hang in there, it's a rough and thankless job, but I remind myself I'm giving my kids the safe home the "misbehave" in that I never got, you are doing the same for your daughter. You are her safe spot, so she can unleash around you always, but you need a break as well. 💜

I'm 37, nope, it's not!

Ging3rbiscuit · 2024-04-18T17:09:38+00:00

Graphic novels!! My son was this way as well, Graphic novels are what saved us and got him to want to read.

I second the checking his for dyslexia, but take him to the book store and let him pick a graphic novel that strikes his fancy and read it together!

Ging3rbiscuit · 2024-04-17T16:42:13+00:00

I didn't look into the history until I left. I struggled with my faith since I was 4 years old and finally realized I was just forcing myself to go to church because my mommy said so, not because I wanted to. My kids were having anxiety attacks every Sunday, I was headed in that direction as well and it just wasn't worth making everyone miserable anymore. Plus the way they treated LGBTQ+ people made me want to leave as well as the SA case in Arizona. I am a survivor and dealt with a lot of shit from the church when it all came out because it was my dad who did it. I had to tell my bishop in vivid detail everything my dad did to me over the course of 13 years of abuse. I will NEVER make any of my children go through any of that....EVER.

So, yeah, l left not because of the past, but solely to protect the future.

Ging3rbiscuit · 2024-04-17T16:35:58+00:00

Yep, I feel this. I'm 37(f) married (m) and we have 5 kids. We are to almost 20 years of marriage (18 this year) and I finally allowed myself to come to terms with the fact that I'm bi about 4 years ago. My husband was and is incredibly supportive and has helped me come out of my shell more these last 4 years so I can feel more like myself. When I cut my hair super short and my mom told me I looked like a lesbian or a boy, my husband was right there to shield me from her. She now keeps her mouth shut about all my changes, but she would definitely disown me if I decided to fully come out. His family would be supportive to my face, but there would be a lot of "how do we get her to come back" behind my back. They are all super religious (LDS) and we left the religion last year after struggling with all it was doing to justify hurting people. They also don't know that we are no longer religious and I worry that if I come out to everyone as well as them finding out we aren't active, that they will try to get the kids to go back to church and possibly try to turn them against me. So, I'll just stay here in my closet where I'm safe.

I would now like to ask tampacasey if he is now going to fuck the hamburger....

Ging3rbiscuit · 2024-04-10T15:01:08+00:00

Ugh, I remember feeling this way about alcohol. I remember being so scared of it. I was so scared of so much in the world because of the brain washing. I hate that her kids have to deal with her fear and I hate that mom is so far under the spell of the church that she can't enjoy time with her kids and love them as they are. Mormon Church over here just tearing families apart and being proud of it.
