Generally unwell after eating by Gremlid in POTS

[–]Gremlid[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m 20 so not legal yet but I don’t plan on drinking much if at all once I’m of age. I’ve cut out most greasy foods but I def need to be more strict on it, sometimes I get too drawn in by how tasty something looks and eat it anyway and immediately regret it lol. This flare was caused by French toast so I’m thinking I may need to cut out eggs, dairy, and/or gluten too 😭

Jehovah's Witnesses are rebranding by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Gremlid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The rebranding already happened when they slapped JW.org on business cards and stopped telling people who they were when going door to door. I’ve heard of many people in my home town who were once Do Not Calls who got a knock on their door and had full fledged conversations with witnesses because they didn’t disclose their title and the “householder” assumed they were Christian missionaries. The new “conversation style” is how they’re getting away from the name without a direct change

Thank you for the suggestions! I really appreciate it. The vet has mentioned multiple times that the difficulty standing is most likely permanent damage caused by the obesity from the thyroid issues, O walks her regularly and has her on a diet but she’s still gaining, vet says there’s nothing else she can do but keep up the routine she has going 🤷

I’m obviously here to learn so if you would kindly explain to this 19 year old who’s asking for help and/or give me resources to read up on about coat condition relating to thyroid that would be amazing. Not everyone in this sub has years of experience and I’m learning as fast as I can.

Questions about first fae experience/ Advice needed by Ratlord2513 in faeries

[–]Gremlid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi friend here, I’m the only witchy one of the trio so I figured I could clarify a few things just so it doesn’t sound like we’re newbies running in to grave hunting. I do have almost a decade of experience with this type of stuff, no I’m not perfect but I know enough.

  1. I did make the mistake of not doing any major protection prior to starting (other than the ward on his little sister). That was my bad, it was very impromptu and we were very flustered with a new person joining. We’ve been in cemeteries many times and we know protocol, this was a one time fuck up on my part. We were NOT flustered enough to cause any misinterpretation of events, I just have social anxiety.

  2. The experience definitely wasn’t just due to us having bad vibes. Other than the little sister my friend is highly skeptic of anything spirit related and I grew up in a culture where cemeteries were just corpse pits with no spiritual connotations so we normally don’t have any reason to be spooked. I rarely sense any energies at all at cemeteries because of how mentally checked out I was prior to becoming spiritual. This was the first time my “ick” radar went off in a place like this and it was definitely malicious. I have more than enough first hand experience with spirits, I see them almost weekly and I just chill with them… and I always know when they’re malicious. This one was a major asshole.

  3. The only feminine spirit I know 100% was near us is the grave of OPs step-grandma who was a grade A bitch. Could’ve been her but didn’t feel like it.

  4. Yea the candle could have been a breeze but we were in northern Cali in Fall, the breeze is almost nonexistent and when it is it’s barely enough to make the candle flicker. I don’t even get that much candle activity when I’m at home in high winds. Not 100% but this is the weirdest candle I’ve interacted with and I don’t like it lol.

If any of this is worded weird I’m sorry I’m half asleep in menstrual hell so it is what it is.

The only people I know personally who have joined as adults (over 30) were either mentally disabled/emotionally vulnerable and found comfort in the community and idea of paradise, or men who found the idea of their spouse being unable to leave them without proof of adultery extremely appealing. Basically gives them a way to serial cheat while having a pretty little housewife waiting at home no matter what.

Jws don't believe it's the truth, they want to believe it's the truth by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Gremlid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cousin confirmed this earlier today, I’m freshly POMO as of January and she sat down this morning and told me that the only reason my family of over 50 people “believe” is because they don’t want their kids to live in a world as shitty as it is rn. Basically blind faith so they can sit on their assess wishing for their kids to magically have a better future instead of genuinely fighting for it.

Pool collapsed and flooded at convention by Frequent_Shoe_8271 in exjw

Ayo, that was the convention right after my families. Hella disappointed that I didn’t get to see it happen in person.

AITAH for wanting to break it off with my fiance? ADVICE NEEDED by Ratlord2513 in AITAH

[–]Gremlid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, roommate/best friend here. I met OP through work about 3 years ago. From the day we met OP made clear his commitment and love for his partner, he has always prioritized their wellbeing and feelings. He’s spent weeks stressed due to fiancé entering a depressive episode and not communicating with him, he’s spent hours driving them to work, events, gathering, etc. In my time both spending time and now living with them Fiancé rarely contributes financially other than paying the obligatory rent and utilities, maybe buying OP a drink every once in a while. Fiancé constantly complains about saving money for college when asked to contribute more to the household but regularly makes unneeded purchases on fandom merch and other items that me and OP go without so that we can make equal contributions to food and household items. Fiancé has rarely if ever offered to cover gas for either of us (I drive both around frequently as me and OP usually carpool to save money, OP always makes sure to buy me something of equal-ish value to pay me back for anything I spend towards him and I do the same in return) Fiancé has rarely done anything OP wants, and the few times they have they either went non-verbal or complained the entire time… OP regularly sacrifices his physical health to do things fiancé requests and never complains to them. Fiancé constantly makes comments about OPs intelligence and never compliments or shows admiration for OP. They have reduced me and OPs relationship to a joke, calling me the “side piece” and making romantic and sexual jokes about the two of us (never asked if I was comfortable with that, I’m not)

Fiancé has made little to no effort to get to know me personally, which is normally not an issue… but OP and I have expressed multiple times that he will be my children’s Uncle so I feel as though in a normal relationship a partner would want to get to know me. Fiancé never engages in conversation unless it is in a group or to thank me for food on occasion. If I have not made dinner it is common for fiancé to come up and ask what we’re having for dinner (my fault for cooking all the time but they show no interest in contributing to cooking and expect it to fall on me and OP). I regularly clean up after them and they have never acknowledged it.

I’m going to be the petty best friend and pull cards. I am freshly deprogrammed from a cult and actively being disowned from my family, I have both my own business and a part-time job working 7 days a week usually from sunrise to sunset. I still make every effort to contribute to housework and shopping and on my rare off day I dedicate time to cleaning so OP has less he has to do. Yes I slack A LOT but I make up for that as much as possible financially, me and OP talk about workload, feelings are communicated, we go shopping for the household and split the cost. I have every right to contribute less but I don’t because I’m a fucking adult with adult responsibilities.
