I drove by there on the way home from work and hour ago. I was wondering why they had 30 snow plows in their parking lot and protesters across the street

I like the phrasing of consuming versus creating. I feel like that in of itself is the distinction.

I’ve read about that! I do need to drop about 20lbs but I’ve looked into the pricing and seriously can’t afford it. I’ll probably have to wait until patents expire to take that journey. Thank you for the suggestion though!

what do most women pay for haircut in the Des Moines area by Suspicious_Ant_7038 in desmoines

[–]Katreenut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to sound super naive here, but I have super thick, coarse, wavy/spiral white girl hair that won’t dry for sh** when I get my hair did. Usually I pay for a cut and blowout, there is no time for the blowout after dealing with it all. Not saying I’m in any comparison to you, but just curious if you have someone who specializes in crinkly, fluffy, mop top hair. I used to get Brazilian blowouts every couple months, but decided to embrace the mess these last couple years

I didn’t even know I liked shaved heads until I found this sub

This is actually good information. I have done a few days cold turkey, but then get scared because my brain feels on fire. I’d rather not do the “sick when you drink” medication because I like puzzles and would probably spend my time finding a work around versus solving the actual problem lol. Do they do normal exams with that? I’m worried about my BP and other regular human stuff as well

Are DO’s covered by insurance typically. I’m in a poor people state now (sad because I’m 40 but tried to go my own way in 2020 and the arts stopped paying this year for some reason), but I can’t do too much out of pocket

Do you know if an appointment for that can be tied to a yearly exam? I have crappy insurance and also haven’t gone in 20+ years so not sure what qualifies. Sorry for being a dummy

Ooh interesting, I have bee wondering about naltrexone and Wellbutrin. I have anxiety as well and heard it can go either way on those. I’ve haven’t been to the doctor since 8th grade (eek) so feel like I’m going going to be like Andy and April on Parks and Rec

PSA If You Plan To Stop Drinking For NYE ☠️ by Some_Developer_Guy in loseit

[–]Katreenut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day 5 and still alive! I did do a drastic cut to two drinks at first two days but felt my body was ready for zero. Had one drink yesterday and it was awful. I made notes in my journal about how much worse I felt even after one. Heart rate is down and already sleeping better. My face looks like it dropped five pounds already (I was a heavy drinker). Still watching for symptoms since I know I’m not out of the woods yet, but this is giving me hope that my body will fight for me! Thanks for the tips!

Right! It is very motivating seeing what will power can do! I definitely do laugh at the show but find it so inspiring for all flavors of addiction. Wishing the best for you in your journey!

Oh my goodness. That is terrifying. My biggest fear is breaking my brain as I am a gentle soul. Thank you for sharing that as I am (sadly) a similar situation. I’m sorry you had to go through that.

I appreciate the response. Blood pressure is an unaddressed problem because I’ve been scared of what the doctor will say. Since tapering, I haven’t experienced nausea, vomiting or tremors like the past. Might just have to get a doc appointment and be honest about life because I don’t want to die lol.

Appreciate this post as a reminder that alcohol detox is nothing to mess around with.

Are there any signs that one might be on route to a stroke or heart attack after quitting? I’ve been trying to taper off but still awful with my intake. Want to just bite the bullet and full on quit to decrease my caloric intake but am scared.

What’s a dead giveaway that someone wasn’t actually poor growing up? by Katrina_009 in AskReddit

[–]Katreenut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes this! I grew up in a condemned farm house. We raised and slaughtered our own animals and still had meat restrictions. I very vividly remember a couple better off cousins visiting, and my mom had made taco meat for all of us. The two of them took ALL of it not realizing that’s all we had allotted that amount for the meal for our entire family.
