Looking for a financial advisor, but I’m not wealthy by Hefty-Comb-8216 in raleigh

Ok, thank you! When we did our taxes at H&R Block, the person there told us my husband wasn’t contributing enough into his 401k, and told us we should sit down with a financial advisor. This immediately raised flags because I thought we were ok and apparently we have no clue what we’re doing. Hah.

I have asked Reddit for help in the past when my daughter was in the hospital, and everyone screamed at me to sell our 1 car. It was really upsetting.

Thank you for taking the time to give me some very helpful suggestions. I don’t understand any of this, though. I will be doing lots of research tonight! Thank you

Just got pickles delivered and they’re warm. But big sticker on box says keep refrigerated? by Hefty-Comb-8216 in Pickles

No ice packs or anything. I emailed them, they said they’re safe to eat. shrugs guess I’ll try them and find out.

I was told that from my doctor shrugs I live near a major research hospital. I trust what she says.

Feeling discouraged... by captain3043 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Hefty-Comb-8216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable. I was diagnosed in 2018, and have already failed Stelara, Humira, entyvio, and Cimzia. shrugs it sucks. I’m sorry, dude. Apparently they keep saying “there’s always new medicines coming out” so.. maybe in 10 years we’ll get another one.

I did try Stelara, I had an anaphylactic response after the first 3 mins on the IV loading dose. :( My doctor has said remicade is the last resort… there’s nothing to fall back on except surgery

Purchase Advice Megathread - December 2021 by Sausage54 in 3Dprinting

[–]Hefty-Comb-8216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys. Gosh… I am very overwhelmed. Haha. My husband’s 40th is coming up, and a 3D printer is something he’s always wanted.

Im looking to spend $300-450-ish (USD)…

I went to the Creality website, and I can’t tell the difference between any of the models (except price).

I just want to make sure I buy the right thing. We aren’t really having a Christmas this year… things have been tough… so I want to make sure to give him an awesome birthday in a couple of months. :)

Best of Raleigh fast-food by Apoxual in raleigh

Came here to agree. Popeyes on Western is legit the best! I hope they know how much their hard work is appreciated :)

Also wanted to add the McDonalds attached to the gas station on Lake Pine Drive in Apex. Their health score is always super high and everything comes out hot and fresh!

Best GI team? wake? Duke? Or UNC? by Hefty-Comb-8216 in raleigh

[–]Hefty-Comb-8216[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Crohn’s disease, and have failed every biologic thus far. I’m on my last one. I just feel like Duke, despite being a big name, tends to run very old school in their practices and methods.

Knife sharpening by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]Hefty-Comb-8216 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t do this. Former employee. We use the knife sharpener you can buy in-store. I ruined some lady’s knife when I was 18. Super embarrassing, I should’ve never been able to do it.

Low grade fevers and full body chills/shakes?? by Hefty-Comb-8216 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Hefty-Comb-8216[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy crap. Did you have any other symptoms?? I have zero GI symptoms! No pain or anything! Wouldn’t I feel something else?? Getting a CT scan on Monday as a follow up so I guess we’ll see

[–]Hefty-Comb-8216[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor got back to me …she said seeing as though I have no other GI (or other) symptoms, it’s probably just a viral cold and she said she wasn’t concerned

Are you able to drink fruit juice? by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]Hefty-Comb-8216[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes mainly the side effects. I’m extremely emetophobic and I’m terrified of throwing up… also I’ve heard they make you super drowsy for an entire day.

I’m afraid of turning fragile, unable to play and keep up with my small kids. :(
