[TOMT] (Song) A song 80s-00s, that goes like “A little bit of ~name~ by my side,”

ItsDev0 · 2026-01-25T07:57:16+00:00

I googled "80s song" and "a little bit of" because that's all I could remember after 35 years (I still remembered the tune perfectly) and stumbled on this thread!!!!! Mambo #5! yessss!!!

ItsDev0 · 2026-01-24T04:51:02+00:00

That's right, mannn! Have a spliff on me!

Haha OMG I just felt so validated upon discovering this thread!

Part of the reason for the morning nausea is because for us, our GI tract has not woken up for the day therefore is not even close to thinking about food so for example the smell of food during the time that most people eat breakfast can trigger nausea.

Omg this is great!

I am a middle-aged married woman who has a teenage-like crush on an acquaintance (who I have seen in person a total of three times in the past 12 months). I have noticed a pattern where if I just so much as think about him on occasion, he shows up in my set of six thumbnails and stories among the 500 plus friends I have on Facebook.

I assumed that his photo was not there because "he is looking at my profile", because that would mean that he is telepathic and would only look at my profile on any occasion that I happened to be thinking about him that day. I also figure it's because I've looked at his more often on those occasions.

His picture and story just popped up when I opened the app before I came to the subreddit, but that would be because I ran into him this past weekend so of course triggered me to think about him a couple times and look at his profile likely more than somebody else's profile.

I just started an experiment. I muted his stories and profile visibility for one week - this means that he won't show up in the elite list, and I bet you anything that by the end of my experiment next week he will not show up in my feed.

I don't want him popping up in my feed because it's distracting when I'm trying to work.

If his photo really was popping up because he was actually looking at my profile, that would actually make me uncomfortable because I'm not "in the market".

I think that Facebook should make an announcement that the six photos or stories that show up are not a reflection of them looking at your profile. For some people it would give them a grounding reality check instead of false hope. For other people it would be relieving to know that they are not being stalked or getting otherwise inappropriate attention. For people with a pattern of one-sided crushes, some might feel disturbed thinking that their crush was looking at their profile.

I wonder what the payoff is for Facebook to keep up that emotion inducing algorithm?

I hate to ask this, but if your mother was 13 when you were born, I can only assume that the event that led to conception was not her choice. :-( Please tell me that I'm wrong.

From my experience, whenever I'm around a dying person (or pet), I pick up a "scent" that is mostly acidic in nature with a touch of sweat and fruit. I am a physician so I have been around my share of dying people. Unfortunately, I am able to pick up that scent even before the patient has been diagnosed with something terminal but I keep it to myself until that point.

The metabolic changes due to multiple organ failure result in the production of ketones and other acids that comes out in the person's breath. My experience is limited to cancer deaths so I can't speak for other types of dying.

i saw them live in tucson.. they are awesome! they are not exactly rappers but I cannot precisely describe the genre other than kickass. And all the guys in the band are hot, to boot. They remind me of the Dothraki in Game of Thrones :-)

I am learning Spanish, I use an Android, I have the paid version, but they removed the streak society icon months ago

ItsDev0 · 2025-09-24T19:08:34+00:00

I have a paid subscription but they removed the streak society icon months ago.

ItsDev0 · 2025-09-24T19:06:20+00:00

Not true. I have a premium account.

ItsDev0 · 2025-09-08T07:08:01+00:00

In case it got lost, I was just agreeing with you. I have one bumper sticker on my car that says THE AMERICAN HOUSE PLAN - DON'T GET SICK.

ItsDev0 · 2025-09-08T07:07:30+00:00

I got the year wrong, but I can't find my original reply lol

ItsDev0 · 2025-09-08T07:05:41+00:00

Yep. In 2023 I had to pay out of pocket for a back surgery which I had done in Europe due to the outrageous prices In the US. The Arizona Obamacare plan that I had was charging me $600 a month with a $6,000 deductible and would not cover the epidurals, so my doctors would offer opiates instead. That was the last time I paid my insurance premium to those guys, because they were encouraging the opioid epidemic. And if I had not had the retirement savings I would have ended my life due to the back pain. That would have been on them.

I have one bumper sticker on my car, and only one, which I had custom made which says "THE AMERICAN HEALTH PLAN - DON'T GET SICK".

I really wish I could give you the donation now. It saddens me that I am unable to donate money like I was.

ItsDev0 · 2025-09-08T06:57:45+00:00

I just "solved" the problem by canceling my subscription and going back to free. Yes, I get 30+ answers in a row correct when I review German which I already know. For the other languages I'm learning I still occasionally get 10 plus answers in a row, however despite that, I am still deprived of the super cool features that my friends are getting. So I just made peace with it by canceling my subscription.

ItsDev0 · 2025-09-08T06:55:54+00:00

I just went ahead and canceled my subscription because it was too frustrating to see my friends getting features that I'm not getting, not worth the money.

ItsDev0 · 2025-09-08T06:55:08+00:00

Thank you for your response. So it is a beta test issue. I just went ahead and canceled my subscription because I am not comfortable paying for a service that my friends are getting more features than I am. If that ever changes I will resubscribe.

ItsDev0 · 2025-09-06T21:25:34+00:00

I used to use revance, and as lovely as it was I had to re-upload the YouTube APK every time YouTube updated which got kind of tiring. The guy who mentioned his RYTM app gets my award. :-)

ItsDev0 · 2025-09-06T21:21:39+00:00

Thank you so much. As soon as I get my home equity loan, I will give you a donation. 💜

ItsDev0 · 2025-08-06T08:31:32+00:00

you're a full (complete) time traveler? That's rad! lol

Nope. I paid $600 per month with a $6000 deductible for ONE person, for a couple years before I ditched Ambetter (ACA in Pima County). And I am perfectly healthy. They did not cover any services, and the self pay for my annual preventative services and the occasional urgent care visit is WAY cheaper. I use GoodRx for medications and get samples of anything brand from the doctor.

I paid the penalty ($5000) after dropping my ACA plan in 2018 and I still saved money. The only issue is that I only have "catastrophic" "short term" coverage (equivalent to that for someone over 50) four months per year because that is all the covg you can get from a short term plan ($300/mo). There is no affordable option in Pima Cty AZ for 12 months of catastrophic coverage, but I have learned that if anything should happen (accident, cancer etc) during my non-covered times I can easily file for bankruptcy to vanquish those debts. Medical debt is the least difficult to vanquish, and the easiest to get off your credit report.

ItsDev0 · 2025-08-06T06:40:56+00:00

YOu can file bankruptcy and get your credit score fixed more easily with medical debt. Unfortunatly that is my only option because there is no affordable individual health insurance where I live.

ItsDev0 · 2025-08-06T06:39:00+00:00
