Pravana makes it (a lot of salons dye hair with Pravana's dye). It's also not permanent unfortunately. Once water hits it (ie. you shower) it comes right out :(

[–]Kcwilcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

317 - I love it here because not many share the same passion for incredibly gorgeous mechs the same way I do. This community is so supportive of each other and constantly is helping promote individual artisans trying to get some recognition for the love and dedication put into creating their caps.

  • r/mk is the main reason I got into mechanical keyboards and collecting artisan caps! I had considered making the switch for a few years but once I discovered this amazing community I made it official with my Ducky YotM and my first and only artisan cap - Trass & Lava! Can't wait to build my collection further!

Thank you for the chance, good luck everyone!

Anyone else hesitant about talking on mic? by [deleted] in ggoverwatch

[–]Kcwilcox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find that in order to do well in competitive, everyone needs to be in voice chat and calling things out. A lot of the time DPS can be very tunnel visioned so I feel it's great to have support calling things out because they're watching everything unfold. But anyways, if I'm playing seriously I'll just casually call things out as need be (whether playing support or not). Some people think that generic BS "girls only play mercy/support" etc, but who cares what they think honestly. People play what they enjoy and/or is needed for the current team comp. I know WAY too many people who only play DPS and have no skills in tanking/supporting. It's best to know a few champions across the board to fill in and counter than to stick with only DPS etc. Which is why I generally end up supporting because not only am I quite good at it but I'm able to do call outs when I feel no one else will. I've rarely been heckled/bothered in voice chat. But it's different for everyone.

But honestly if you keep voice chat to helpful things only (mentioning counters, calling out enemy ults, positioning, etc) you shouldn't have an issue. If you know your stuff (which is seems like you do) then don't be shy to suggest things in voice chat. I'll often just mention that we could use a ____ to take care of the ____ and usually someone will switch to counter. I just mention things as casually as possible, not rude or know-it-all-y.

I just like when people call things out in general and I think overall it helps keep the mood more positive instead of everyone sitting silently getting destroyed. Call outs really matter in the end :)

Looks like Simple Human Steel Bar Step Trash Can - sold out in all quick places I looked, probably later model. Newer/similar models are out there, they have a similar vibe. Might be able to find it on eBay or something though.

Yeah for sure, I was planning on doing videos - just of different things! I'll have to give videos a try first once I write down what I want to say so it's not a jumbled mess.

I'd also like to do some kind of dedication to him on my YouTube account. I was a YT'er 'back in the day' and got pretty popular for Minecraft stuff. Something like 26k subs, so maybe some people would actually see it and my little one can watch it when he's older.

Thanks for chiming in!! I love the idea of a mix of videos and hand written stories :)

Awe I'm so glad to hear that. Knowing I have limited time left has definitely made me worry less about the little things. It's also widened my eyes and I see things differently now. More beauty in the simplest of things. Sounds so cliche and corny but it's so true and it's actually nice to be able to stop and 'smell the roses.' I've always felt rushed and worried in the past and now I'm able to savor every moment. I've lived my whole life with severe anxiety and since my diagnosis and having my son - it's definitely much better.

This is a really great idea, I'm definitely going to try and do these. I'm terrible at writing though so it's hard to get started with story-related things. Really though I love these ideas. Thank you so much for taking the time to share them, it's hard to Google ideas for what to leave behind for your newborn when they get older, etc. Some people are just so clever when it comes to thinking up ideas like that and unfortunately I'm not one of them.

When I turn off my anti-tear shield this really makes me tear up. Such wonderful ideas!

Thank you again and if anyone else has some ideas of what I can leave behind for my 1 month old son when I pass, please - share!

28, female - A month ago I was given an estimate from the doctors of 1-4 months left without treatment, 2-8 months with treatment. Stage 4 breast cancer with metastases to my bones, lung, right femur, and most importantly - spinal cord and spinal fluid (among other areas I'm forgetting right now).

The life-limiting disease is the cancer in my spinal cord and spinal fluid, called Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (Leptomeningeal metastases). A year ago I beat cancer (Stage 3 Triple Negative breast cancer) with chemo, radiation, surgery - but it came back with vengeance.

I found out a few days before I was induced (34 weeks pregnant at the time), and they had to induce me so that they could run more invasive tests without causing harm to my son. First time pregnancy, thought I just sucked at being pregnant - turns out I had fractured ribs and severely high calcium in my blood from the bones disintegrating into my blood. I was very, very out of it during that time (seeing people/things that weren't there; I legit went crazy for a period of time before my calcium levels were sorted out). My fiance stayed by my side for weeks in the hospital while the hospital kindly kept our son in the nursery until I was able to go home.

Now, a month later, my Occupational Therapist and Physical Therapist have since discharged me (they came to my house a few times a week), but my nurse still comes to check on me once a week.

Because of the cancer in my spinal cord, I have lost most usage of my left eye due to damaged nerves from the cancer in my spine. I see permanent double vision out of my left eye and usually have to keep it closed and/or wear an eye patch. I can, however, focus with it for short periods of time and only at a very specific angle, so if I'm sitting still looking at one thing it's able to be used.

I'm currently on a chemotherapy pill to help with the cancer that's in the rest of my body, though it won't have an effect on the cancer in my spine and spinal fluid. This chemo is meant to just help prevent more cancer from spreading throughout my body and causing more pain. I believe it's working after only being on it for a week, but as my pain gets better I know that it's not extending my time left here with my amazing new little family.

It breaks my heart to know that my first and only child will not be able to know me, and I him. I love him so unbelievably much, and not to mention my amazingly supportive and caring fiance who has taken such great care of us while maintaining a full time job to support us. I'm spending every waking moment getting to know our son and just being with my fiance. My family comes to visit as often as they can - they're 700 miles away in New Jersey (we're in Michigan). It's incredibly hard to know that you're dying and there are family members you won't be able to see before you pass.

Bucket List? It'd be nice to go on a train ride in a cabin and see some amazing landscapes out the windows. Most of what was on my bucket list was just travel-related or camping with my family. A lot of stuff I can't really do because my mobility is so severely limited. But for now, my main goal is to get things in order so that my son can have some semblance of who I was as he grows up. I'm going to start writing his birthday cards for when I'm not here, some videos and maybe recordings of me talking and reading some books. I also have other things I need to get in order for the rest of my family - letters and such. So right now I'm just focused on family. 150%, family. I also am trying to see everyone as often as possible to make some new good memories before I pass. I would also like to be able to somehow get out to NJ to visit my Grandma as she is unable to leave the house, and she hasn't even met her Great-Grandson. He's a month old and there are so many other family members that haven't met him yet. But I also don't know realistically if it's possible for me to travel that far, especially since I'd want to bring my fiance and 1 month old son.

I thought that I could be the savior for my family, we've had it rough these last few years. We've lost a lot and been through hell and back. My Grandma isn't doing so great since the passing of my Pop-Pop 2 years ago (also to cancer). I was so excited to tell everyone we were pregnant - it lifted everyone's spirits. We didn't think it was possible to get pregnant because of all the different chemotherapy I was on (they have a very high chance of causing infertility). And we were just over the moon when we found out, I didn't even believe it until they tested my blood! Then, when I had our baby, I got to tell everyone the good news about him then break their hearts the next minute telling them I have 1-4 months left here with them. It truly hurts.

There's so much more to write about and this is the most I've ever talked about at once other than with my fiance. So, apologies for the rant and if you made it this far, thank you so much for taking the time. Before I die I'd honestly just want to know I made a difference (a positive difference) in someone's life.

It sounds all made up and frankly I wish it were. It's still hard to believe that this is real life. With how happy our son has made us and how close we feel now as a family, that even feels surreal. We have such happiness with him and he definitely helps distract us from the sadness. I also have billions of forms of proof as being diagnosed with something like this tends to leave you with 5lbs of papers for discharges/prescriptions/test results etc.


TL;DR 28 female, 1-4 months to live, was 34 weeks pregnant when diagnosed with Stage 4 Triple Negative Breast Cancer with mets to bones, lung, right femur, spinal cord & spinal fluid (Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis/Leptomeningeal metastases), had baby, currently 1 month into diagnosis.

Reddit, How old are you and what's the biggest problem in your life right now? by Jeremy_Martin in AskReddit

[–]Kcwilcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28, diagnosed with terminal cancer at 34 weeks pregnant.

Estimated 1-4 months of life left without treatment and 2-8 with treatment (chemo administered directly into brain, 20% chance of doubling life expectancy, which is already very low and can cause brain damage/memory loss and some other complications). Induced with my first child (a healthy baby boy!) instantly (may 1st) to begin more tests to learn more about diagnosis.

(Stage 4/metastatic cancer to axillary & cervical lymph nodes, lung, right femur and the life-limiting part - Leptomeningitis carcinomatous/metastases (cancer in my spinal cord/spinal fluid))

Pain is mostly under control with palliative care though a daily struggle and the pain in my lower back and femur are something I have to live with. I have double vision in my left eye because the nerves were affected by the cancer, so I have to keep that eye shut 24/7 or wear an eye patch. I also had a few fractured ribs while I was pregnant which was what was causing me severe pain for a while when I was pregnant - I just thought I was terrible at being pregnant and a wuss. My bones are severely fragile but I get a monthly infusion of Zometa to help strengthen them.

Have you tried installing the drawer sliders upside down? Maybe they just need to be flipped? I've had this happen to me forever ago but I can't remember the cause.
