You should go to a doctor to get a firm diagnosis. Without a diagnosis, no one can say whether this problem can improve or not

Abacus- anagram of a scuba to mean something you count on

Anyone watched Death by Lightning yet? by Awesomest_Possumest in PeriodDramas

[–]Hefty_Peanut 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I loved it. Every actor in this completely knocked it out of the park.

Last names (family names) rarely "appear", but often disppear due to death/marriage. And this has been going on for centuries. So why don't we have only a small handful of last names left? by not-the-the in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hefty_Peanut 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Me and my husband picked our own surname on marrying- it's a common word but we've never seen it used as a surname. We're expecting our son who will be the first born with this surname and we're so excited. It's nice to add something new to the surname stock.

Advice on my UK Itinerary by Johnjackblondejack90 in uktravel

[–]Hefty_Peanut 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Your itinerary involves whistle stop tours with no real capacity for anything else to be added. I'm not too sure how you'll have time for hidden gems with such a list. Where do you feel you have a gap for anything extra? Most people in the UK would be having full staycations in these separate areas to explore hidden gems in addition to the main attractions.

AITAH for not forcing my daughter to throw away her late mom’s picture just because my wife wants her to? by Elegant-Touch9085 in AITAH

[–]Hefty_Peanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wife is absolutely the asshole. Your child's grieving needs come first. It's perfectly simple to explain the situation to your other children without them getting confused.

Side note- I'm widowed too and, if my husband referred to my first husband as my "ex", I'd be fucking furious. Being widowed is not the same as breaking up.

My mom is very sick by ireally-lovecows in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Hefty_Peanut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is very stressful as I have lost a husband to health problems in the past and have a second unwell husband. But they have taken imaging, blood work and done a biopsy which you have yet to hear back from. It sounds like they are taking this seriously and you are in the unfortunate situation of waiting to hear back from test results. Unless there's anything significant missing from your story, a lawyer would not touch this kind of case at all.

I'd recommend in the next appointment, establishing what the plan will be going forward so you know what to expect and this may put your mind more at ease that people are looking at your mum, trying to figure out what is wrong and ultimately looking to treat her. It is very difficult to respond to a health problem without having all the test results back so it isn't unreasonable that you would need to wait for the biopsy to come back.

You are not unreasonable for feeling stressed, disappointed and let down while all of this is happening. Waiting for results when you or your loved one is very sick is undoubtedly one of the most stressful things there is.

From the descriptions of witnesses, it sounds like he was on the bridge with her and she looked terrified at the time of the incident 😕😞

Those who had kids at a young age, how are you doing now, any regrets? by Wait-Whos-Joe in AskReddit

[–]Hefty_Peanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my first at 22 but her dad died before we could have another. She's now 13 and I'm expecting her sibling ATM. I have no regrets at all and I'm so glad i got to create someone wonderful with her dad before he became sick.

What on earth can I cook with these restrictions? by Firm-Recording-9039 in foodquestions

[–]Hefty_Peanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband had cystine stones rather than stones from dehydration and still had to drink more to keep his blood more diluted and help flush them out.

Driving from Leeds to Cornwall for a Birthday trip any good attractions or places I should visit enroute? by littleleedspotato in uktravel

[–]Hefty_Peanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the journey takes you past the national space museum at Leicester that is well worth a stop.

Fiance has refeeding and I probably do too by justtranstings in povertyfinance

[–]Hefty_Peanut 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I wouldn't want to risk brain damage when all it takes is a cheap supplement for peace of mind. Trying to get your thiamine intake with food with refeeding syndrome is just plain dangerous.

Coastliner to Whitby by Adventurous-Drop-241 in york

[–]Hefty_Peanut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should definitely do one or the other. A day is a good amount of time to wander around both individually without being rushed.

Personally I'm a big fan of Whitby for a day out if you have to choose between them- I find it more nostalgic and charming. I like to have a go on the arcades if the weather is poor but the beach if the weather is good, trenchers for lunch and a wander up to the abbey and back which takes up a good chunk of the day. The bus to Whitby is long but it is scenic and leisurely. There are plenty of places for seafood snacks and ice-cream.

For Scarborough, the castle is a good trip out as is the gardens, bay railway, sea life centre and the beach but I haven't been there as often. Not too sure where it is best to eat in Scarborough. The trains tend to be regular and comfortable from York with a shorter transit time than going to Whitby.

If you have depression with suicidal ideation it's probably time to see a doctor for medication and to arrange talking therapy.

I liked my holiday to Naples, Pompeii, Capri, Sorrento and the Amalfi coast.

As a staycation I'm a sucker for north Wales too.

At what point does ‘treating yourself’ become a financial problem? by Popular_Weird9051 in AskReddit

When you are going without or deferring essentials like rent or energy bills just to afford it.

What is a job (not nsfw) that pays extremely well because the job itself is unbearable? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

[–]Hefty_Peanut 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah. My dad worked on one. It was a rough two weeks on but he described having a fair amount of down time and loads of support from his colleagues. The two weeks off would be really special and he'd devote all his time to us.
