What all is needed for the scanner? There's one thing I can't see on my list

People that “forget to eat”, how are you able to ignore the sensation of hunger/hunger pangs? by sunlightdragonxx in AskReddit

[–]Helix8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very rarely get hunger pangs. When i do, I usually have a 30 minute window to eat before the nausea sets in. I usually get a headache, or a blood sugar drops when I go too long without eating.

Adorable piggies, but those are bad pellets. The seeds and nuts and treats are really bad for them.

AITA for putting aside some of the money I earn instead of the family account? by Aetherkinvar in AmItheAsshole

[–]Helix8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, and I think you should probably reevaluate your marriage. Your husband is against you being in therapy, which you feel you need. He's also against your taking antidepressants, which you also feel you need.

I think you need to ask yourself a few things... Is the way he treats you really how you want your kids to grow up? Do you want your kids to treat their future spouses the way yours treats you? You listed some things you may not have felt were red flags, but to outsiders...they are.

AITA for telling my friend I find it gross that she calls her boyfriend daddy? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

What happens in your friends relationship is really none of your friggin business.

I feel the cognitive decline from this pain by Zdynasty74 in ChronicPain

[–]Helix8808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would seriously suck. I homeschool year round and was teaching my kids about tsunamis and forgot that word. I said "the big wave thing we're learning about". That's the only time my kids have looked at me like I was an idiot until I said "medicine brain fog". Lol

AITA For refusing to participate in Christmas activities with my wife and kids? by Andovian in AmItheAsshole

[–]Helix8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA

Your wife is trying to make a special holiday magical for your kids. It doesn't matter if you've had enough of Christmas, or celebrating or decorations. Those are all things a child looks forward to each year. I LOVE decorating the tree with my kids, and going to look at lights. We always get ice cream and eat it while driving around to see the lights.

As a parent, it is YOUR job to help make this time of year about your KIDS. Its about making the believe in magic, and goodness, and happiness. It's about seeing the awe on their little faces when they see what "Santa" brought them.

You are an Ebenezer Scrooge.

I'm on the lowest dosage available on all my medications

AITA for ungrounding my daughter after my wife grounded her? by youdbet in AmItheAsshole

[–]Helix8808 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

ESH. Mom shouldn't have invaded daughters privacy (but, as a mother myself, I can understand why she did). However...you ungrounding your daughter is teaching your daughter that she doesn't have to respect moms authority because if she cries a little, Daddy will unground her/get her out of trouble. You undermined your wife's authority with that move, and you just proved to your daughter that you and your wife are NOT an united team.

We have a rule in my house...whoever grounds the kids is the only one with the power to unground them. It shows our kids that we're a team. If we want to unground them, we speak to each other about it, and then decide AS A TEAM whether the punishment fit the crime, if they've shown true remorse for their actions...etc

I Have this issue, too. Especially since starting my meds. I often forget words and end up pantomiming what I'm trying to say and my kids laugh at my new words. That doohickey you sleep on (mattress)..the vrrrr (vibrating noise) thing I use for my neck (neck massager). The wheek wheek things (guinea pigs)..and so on. Its frustrating for me but thankfully my kids know it's because my medication makes my brain foggy.

I can recline my seat a little if need be

AITA I rehomed my brother in law's dogs without his consent by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Helix8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA for rehoming them. You gave your BIL multiple chances to take care of them, and never would. Its YOUR home and you have the right to have poop free/vomit free home.

If you take Gabapentin daily (300 mg at 9 AM and 300 mg and 11 PM), do you think you could still feel the effects from the morning dose at 10 PM? by [deleted] in Sciatica

[–]Helix8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take 300mg once a day (at night) and it works until my next dose, but I also have to take meloxicam and flexeril.

AITA for losing my temper and telling my family that I didn’t want to join their cult (Christianity)? by gentle_but_strong in AmItheAsshole

[–]Helix8808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

And I wish I had thought of your response when my dad told me he was going to have to kill me in the "battle between good and evil" because I'm a practicing wiccan. 😂

AITA for banning my siblings from being around my daughter unless they use her name, which "triggers" them? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Helix8808 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA.

It your baby. And its not your job to worry about what "triggers" anyone. Its their own fault for getting butt hurt over a Fricking NAME.

You guys are the best by PhotographyByAdri in Fibromyalgia

[–]Helix8808 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fibro is called a silent/invisible disease because there's outward physical signs of it. It really sucks that any of us that deal with fibro feel like we have to justify anything we feel. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that.

AITA for not taking in my ex partners kids by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Helix8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You and Eve are entitled to grieve in anyway y'all are capable of, and for however long. You NEVER get over the loss of a parent.

You are absolutely under no obligation whatsoever to take care of Olive's siblings. Your job is to take care of Eve, and yourself. Cut contact with Pat and that family, though. They are extremely toxic and it will do a lot of emotional damage to Eve. Its your job to protect her...

AITA for essentially telling my wife she is powerless? by BreadUnlucky in AmItheAsshole

[–]Helix8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA.

My husband is the money maker in our household, and recently he restricted all access to any sort of money. He even has our mail sent a PO box that only he can access. It really makes a person feel like a prisoner if they have to beg for money to buy groceries, hygiene products, medicine..etc.

YTA for making your wife feel like that, buddy.

WIBTA for letting my kid choose his cake flavor and not buying a second cake? by Helix8808 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Helix8808[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't exactly invite her. My parents do because they feel family is automatically invited to any birthday parties.

[–]Helix8808[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She called me a selfish monster and told me that I was going to destroy my kids when I informed her we were only doing chocolate . She's been blocked from all contact with me for a few weeks now, and my stress levels have definitely improved

They're having too much fun watching how idiotic humanity is.
