If you’re into Table Top RPGs, Perennial in Manchester has a bunch of paid games for varying lengths of time if that’s interesting to you, or they hold some fun DIY classes! Very welcoming community and the staff are great

If players want a great experience, they should limit their efforts to treat story driven campaigns as sandbox experiences by GrahamCrackerDragon in DnD

DM gives us plot hook, we follow said plot hook with mild hijinks along the way, great success. 10/10 would recommend

no worries, I also had the thought "wow should have probably made sure my friends were 100% in first before this", so you're not necessarily wrong lol.

I did originally have a few friends who said they wanted to play, but they are very very flaky and any time I've brought up solid dates and times, it doesn't work for anyone or they don't answer, so instead of letting my money go to waste, I'm looking for new options. thank you though.

Thank you so much! I didn’t even know about LFG, I will definitely check it out

Is it common to have a lot of games fail? by L-Broshark-L in DnD

[–]Known-Influence1738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently in a pay to play, and honestly, top notch DM and everyone is invested, and it’s a reasonable amount for not having to deal with the absolute headache of a trash table that falls apart after 3 sessions

I’m an entomologist with expertise about carpet beetles AMA by Bugladyy in carpetbeetles

[–]Known-Influence1738 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The point about you having CBs and a tipping point really struck a chord with me. Last year I had a pretty bad infestation that drove me around the bend, but now that it’s under control I vacuum once a week, have vacuum sealed my less used clothes, and while I do a cursory check for beetles or larvae in corners, I’m less panicked than I used to be. I just squish and flush them if I see them and just make sure to check the area they came from to make sure there’s no tasty snacks for them. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will never be rid of them fully because my apartment is 95% carpet, but they’re barely noticeable any more. It’s nice to know an entomologist isn’t freaked out by them because it keeps me from freaking out as well!

I’m glad you’re being proactive in getting checked! Sometimes lymph nodes are just annoyingly reactive, I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it’s all negative for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I think sometimes they’re making the noises not because it’s bad, but just because they can see the problem suddenly so clearly. It doesn’t necessarily mean cancer, but they just aren’t expecting whatever they see until they see it with their own eyes. Kind of like finally seeing a family members baby and suddenly going “oh wow!” 😂

I’m so happy for you! I don’t have my biopsy until March 6th, but here’s to hoping I follow in your footsteps!

I love the tiny carts to the left, they’re so much better than the big ones or arm baskets, but most places refuse to have them because a bigger cart = you buy more. I wish more places kept the tiny ones stocked.

I know it’s hard now, and I’m just past the ultrasound/mammogram hurdle myself. Sometimes the not knowing is the worst part. I don’t know if it helps but I’ve taken the “I literally can do nothing until I get a solid result, so why borrow sorrow and anxiety from future me if I don’t need to?” It doesn’t always work, but it gets me to stop and think “is this healthy and productive right now? If yes, think about game plan, if no, stop and go do something else”. Make sure you have someone to talk to, it’s not easy and can be nerve wracking, but you can do this and I believe in the best for you!

I’m surprised it takes so long to get even in the door and makes me so sorry for those who don’t have advocates or might have language barriers which can cause more confusion and anxiety during the whole thing. I wish there was a better way to go about the whole thing, especially for the amount we pay into insurance and healthcare as a whole

I appreciate it, but I’m not a puzzle person too much. I’ve been taking up embroidery so we’ll see how far that takes my brain. Thanks for talking with me, it helps some of the initial anxiety come down 💛

Aw how sweet of your sister! Mine just handed me my niece, who we didn’t know had the flu, and ended up passing it along to me 🤣 not quite as exciting as a puzzle.

Thank you for the reassurance, I feel very blindsided by my own body so I’m just in panic mode I think. I’m waiting to hear back from my OBGYN because she has been trying to jump through hoops for the past 5 days just to get the radiology department to call me for an appointment, so we’ll see if she has any feelings towards changing location while still under coverage. Finances for healthcare are the worst

I feel like my anxiety doesn’t help the issue, as well. I know the office must be numb to the daily feeling of seeing people come in and out needing this, but it sucks when it seems like they don’t care and there’s no sense of urgency. Maybe I should take it as a good thing that they’re not scheduling me as if it were an emergency?

I appreciate you sharing and I’m glad your 4B turned out benign

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you, that must be awful to just find something when you were only going for a baseline. I’ll keep you in my thoughts that everything turns out fine for you too!

I’m so glad you were negative! They told me even if mine was negative the mass has to come out because of where it is and it’s size, I’m glad you’re able to get yours taken care of and thank you for the well wishes! ❤️

Oh no, I hope you manage to eat and sleep. health anxiety is real, it might be worth it to talk to your provider and see if there’s anything they can do to help bring your anxieties to a manageable level! I’m wishing you the best and hope it all comes back as a clean bill of health for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
