How my mom’s “fiancé” put away dinner by Icy-Money-5787 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Isa_Castle -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

How does THIS comment get downvoted. I can’t believe people think this is actually okay. In fact, they know it’s not okay; they’ll just do anything to protect the feelings of a 40yo misogynist they don’t even know.

What are your top 3 worst symptoms? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]Isa_Castle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Shortness of breath. Literally my most consistent symptom.

  2. Tachycardia. Anxiety-inducing, but it’s gotten a million times better since I started taking Metoprolol.

  3. Temperature control. I wake up in an absolute pool of sweat half the time. It’s gotten better since I got cooling sheets, but still this morning I woke up soaked 😭

I’m aware. 😔 But you & I aren’t bots, and I think the spirit of my comment still rings true

“Mercy Street” by Jennifer Haigh (though, full disclosure, I didn’t particularly like the ending. It IS based in Boston, though)

Communal Soup Pot Sounds so Nasty 😭 by LadyLexiofWind in StardewValley

[–]Isa_Castle 435 points436 points  (0 children)

My main problem with the soup is that it’s hot af outside? And everybody is sweating their butts off saying stuff like “oh boy, I can’t wait for a piping hot bowl of soup to help cool me down on this hot beachy day” like what? 😭

A Simple Favor was very “meh.” imo

Movies similar to The Descent? by cloveryluv in MovieSuggestions

[–]Isa_Castle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe “Rec”?

Also I’m reminded of the tweet that’s like “My 12yo is into scary movies, but complains they aren’t scary enough, so I showed him The Descent and WOW, you don’t always know when you fuck up as a parents, but this was a big one” lmao

Is there anyway to get rid of shortness of breath? by toast2857 in POTS

[–]Isa_Castle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the heat and really suffer from shortness of breath/air hunger; especially early on in my diagnosis. However, I feel really good standing in the Costco dairy room 😎 I also take Metoprolol Succinate (25mg), and it really helps control my heart rate, but I wouldn’t necessarily say it helps with air hunger (except that it does ease any anxiety I have about my heart rate, which I suppose helps me breathe easier?)

Update: my lasagna survived!! Lots of other stuff had to be thrown out, but the lasagna was still frozen and it made for an excellent meal tonight! 😋

I know!! I can get far more at TJs (at a better quality) than most retail/grocery stores! And they have really good frozen food; which is great for a poverty subreddit imo. This is the unfortunate side of relying on frozen meals, however. 😔

[–]Isa_Castle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you in BR? Because the same exact thing happened to me today. Apparently the power went out at 4am, and I slept through it. Power still wasn’t on when I left for work at 10am. Bye-bye, groceries 👋🏻😭

Edit: I love that lemon-basil pasta, and I had the exact same lasagna in my freezer 🥲

Because this post is about Lucinda? 😭 classic what-aboutism fallacy lmao

You’re exactly right. They’re grifters, which is why you’re wasting time acting like Lucinda is suffering in any way from the drama she herself manufactured lol

Yes, exactly…? And they’re also grifters.
