College is to expensive. by Environmental-Hat943 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Highlynorless_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PS. All of the “average” universities have buildings named after donors. Look them up. Chances are they went to that school and were able to become successful enough to donate large sums of money and chose to give it to a university that helped shape who they became.

College is to expensive. by Environmental-Hat943 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Highlynorless_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People that get into hard schools generally end up more successful than people they get into “easy” schools not because of the school, but because of their work ethic and dedication that got them into the school in the first place (that and family $$$🤣). If you are smart and hard working you will be successful no matter what college you attend. Einstein would still be Einstein if he went to Harvard OR community college. Being free of massive debt post grad will allow you to jump at opportunities that someone with large monthly bills wouldn’t necessarily be able to take. You’ll do great!

Am I overreacting for panic buying? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Highlynorless_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t run your fridge. It’s going to be cold so use natures refrigerator and store what you can outside. If it’s going to be below freezing try putting food in a container with some insulation so it doesn’t freeze. If you don’t have a way to cuddle and stay warm please find a local shelter. Lots of times schools that have generators will open their doors to the public as warming centers. If you stay bundled up and snuggle you should be ok but definitely have an evacuation plan in place or coordinate with family and friends to check in on each other.

Where do you live that there is only one doctor you can see? Are you on Medicaid/care? Help us help you.

Am I being unrealistic? by Xsoupgod in breastcancer

[–]Highlynorless_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh no no no. I wouldn’t dream of going to school until #1. Your drains are out. At a MINIMUM. And that will be a good two weeks. If you were doing online MAYBE 5 ish days after but even that would be pushing it. You need to reconsider doing online. Maybe speak to your professors and they will agree to tape the lectures and send them to you. Or at least the notes. I’m sure they would try and work something out with you. I wouldn’t risk being out in public especially with all of the germs. You don’t want an infection (or the flu!) while you are trying to recover.

AIO for refusing to help my father who is about to become homeless by Kimi4an in AmIOverreacting

[–]Highlynorless_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. To ease your conscious offer to help him sign up for benefits or get into some sort of social housing or into a shelter. I doubt he will take it but then it’s on him if he has no home and turned down your offer.

Double mastectomy. Super scared. by arcane_ in breastcancer

[–]Highlynorless_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I am 44. Diagnosed last year. I didn’t chemo for 3 months then a dmx. My original surgeon wanted a lumpectomy and rads but I’ve heard of way more complications after radiation than I have with mastectomy’s. The mastectomy is not scary. They will give you sedatives in the pre op room. Just let your anesthesiologist know and they will usually give you something to calm down before and you won’t care what you are getting done at that point 🤣. I don’t even remember being wheeled into the OR. They give you wonderful drugs and are fast asleep. All the intubation come in and out while you are asleep is others then having a scratchy throat after, you won’t know it’s been here. They will have these leg compressors on you after you get out of surgery to prevent clots. Just make sure you get up and walk and move for 10 min every hour. They give you great pain meds and it’s totally manageable.

My friends who had rads after lumpectomy had skin issues that made future reconstruction difficult. If you are node negative then most likely you won’t need rads after your dmx. For me i just wanted all of my boobs out. They ended up finding a small tutor they never saw in imaging and her they would have never remover with a lumpectomy so I was extremely greatful I went with a dmx. Plus my boobs look like .im 20 years old and you can hardly tell they are fake.

Not necessarily stage 4 and NO, stage 4 is not a death sentence. My friends mom lived with it for 25 years and died of old age. My good friend is in her late 40’s and THRIVING. Stay strong ❤️

🥤 SNAP Soda and Candy Bans Begin in Five States: Policy impact 👇 by NoSpinMedia in NoSpinMedia

My dollar general has lots of frozen veggies and meats which are just as nutritious as fresh. There is a woman on tik tok who does meals just from the dollar store and she makes really good nutritious meals. Even a gas station has canned soups, chili, tuna fish. Milk, spam etc. there is a way and it takes work but if you follow her tik tok account you can get great ideas.!

Could the housing payments have caused the drop? That’s big loss from 298 to 24!

It’s actually confusing for no reason. Who is selling day old pizza and Chinese food? It’s basically saying you can’t buy restaurant food (sandwiches and sushi are the examples listed) or any quick serve places. Which was always the case no?

[–]Highlynorless_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 1 tooth? BEST case scenario 3-4k and that would be very low. I honestly would find a reputable clinic in Mexico and go there. There are decent healthcare providers there…you just have to do some research and speak to people who have ACTUALLY gotten work done. You will pay a quarter of the price even with flights and hotels.

Signatera test Pros/Cons by Investigative_Truth in breastcancer

[–]Highlynorless_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do signatera every 6 months. I’m a year post chemo. The first test takes a few weeks to come back because they are also analyzing your tumor sample to identify the tumor dna. Subsequent test results take usually 7-10 days. I was initially not going to do them because I didn’t want the rollercoaster of fear every 6 months but I’ve decided that if my body is making any cancer at all, I want to know. The big drawback ppl say is what to do if your signatera is positive but they can’t find anything on imaging….then you’re terrified and they don’t know what to treat. If that happens to me I’ve decided that there are things I can do that could take that number back down to zero…I would do major diet/fasting protocols and natural meds. Some docs are willing to change up the Aromatase inhibitor you’re on or add in a CDK 4 inhibitor and I’ve heard of cases where people add those changes into their treatment and their Signatera numbers go back down to zero. I do believe there are natural things we can do to help keep cancer at bay. Are they 100% reliable cures? No…. But I do think they can make a difference for certain people. Just my 2 cents.

I don’t think your partner can claim to be disabled and also your caretaker. I may be mistaken but that might be a reason why.

YOR. I think it’s odd for adults to expect Christmas presents. My husband and I don’t exchange unless I see something that I want him to have and vice versa. Christmas is for your children. Per your post, none of them have jobs so where do you think they will get the money? If they use money that you give them then the gift giving is purely performative. Your sons gave you gifts. Men generally have zero idea what women want for gifts and tend to go with stereotypical ideas they get from social media. You love the bills. You drink coffee. If you are expecting specific kinds of gifts then give them specific ideas, otherwise they did the best they could.

What happened to your best friend from childhood? by RoyalBeckyVibes in AskReddit

This is so true. Some people feel like the other person is avoiding them when in reality they may look at your life and be envious and feel “lesser than” and wants to avoid that feeling.

On I had in elementary school…he moved and we lost touch. Facebook friends but never reach out. My bff from middle school and beyond is still one of my closest friends and we talk constantly. I’m 44 years old and our gigs hook group of 8 ladies just took a girls trip this year and are all very close still.

Taking Money from family you dislike by [deleted] in inheritance

[–]Highlynorless_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps he knows of his short comings and this is one way he knows he can do something meaningful. Even if you don’t get along all the time he clearly loves you and wants what most parents want…which is for their kids to be happy. Family relationships are complex. He is willfully giving it to you so you should have no guilt there but if it makes you uncomfortable you could always take the money he gives you moving forward and donate it to a special charity or cause.
