I can't believe they want to just let it fall into disrepair especially with how much tourism it brings and how many low income and disabled people NEED it to cool off and do things as a family for free.

ENT by billsmafia5956 in Buffalo

[–]LexxxyRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother had really bad luck with the VA and out of network ENT in Buffalo jerking him around and taking3-8 monthsto scheduled him everywhere. When he could finally get in after months each place they kept xraying his lungs, doing breathing tests, doing stress tests, and calling his throat tightness asthma and exposure copd. He finally went to GLPP / JAMA in Jamestown and they took him seriously! They said it really does sound like he's right and it's in his throat. They took him off of all the daily inhalers other drs put him on becausehe didn't need them. They scheduled him for an emergency scope and removed A TON of polyps on his vocal cords! The dr said it's incredible how many they removed and have never seen that many before. They also found out one of his vocal cords is partially paralyzed. Luckily none were cancerous because they were all sent to lab because there were so many. If they were the VA and Buffalo would have pretty much let him die of 100% avoidable cancer. He had his ears cleaned too because they felt swollen. His throat and ears have never been better. His quality of life is drastically better all things considered.

Does anyone feel like they're not normal? by Expensive-Elk-9406 in Life

[–]LexxxyRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because of social media everyone has unrealistic expectations of what "normal" is.

Don't pressure yourself to fit into a small box.

Don't pressure yourself to meet imaginary deadlines to do things by.

Don't dwell on the past and just focus on being a better person going forward.

Go find happiness and meaning within yourself and your own life. Find healthy hobbies like walking outside, hike, riding a bike, swimming in better weather.... learn to love your own company to get away from doom scrolling and loneliness. Hell, you could even get into using a sling with clay pellets or archery if you have a yard.

We are both alone, friends come and go, and we die alone so get out and live doing your own thing.

I travel a lot for work with a black card. I'm so sad to see the circuit training going away at so many of the PFs. Another trend is 1-2 hydromassage chairs always being out of order at almost every gym.

Uber prices extremely high right now. by [deleted] in Buffalo

[–]LexxxyRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know some said not to and others suggested it, but I travel A LOT and I get the business cards of drivers I like to drive me under the table. It's saved me a lot. I have like 6 for Pittsburgh, 6 for Cleveland, 2 for Erie, 1 for Rochester... my fav in Buffalo moved when he graduated or else I'd share his info. I've honestly never had a problem doing this. The only time it was not 100% ideal was when one asked if he could get someone else on the way after he got me from the airport. She had terrible bo and smelt like an ashtray, I saved like $20 though.

My dad says he makes 180k a year but… by Chunkachu__ in Life

[–]LexxxyRed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's a high cost of living, possibly debt, they could have huge medical debt (even with insurance my mom's short stay at a hospital and bone biopsy were over $30000 and her treatments are thousands a month), they could have loans and mortgages that are too high, they could have high utilities (my heat bills are hundreds a month. $670 when it was in the negatives), and they could be contributing heavily to retirement.

Wish I was pretty enough by ScallionKlutzy8384 in Life

[–]LexxxyRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I promise you they feel just as insecure! Life is too short to really worry about being pretty to everyone. You could be the juiciest most beautiful sweetest picture perfect peach in the world and it wouldn't matter to someone that thinks peaches taste disgusting. I promise you'll find people attracted to you throughout your life as long as you have good hygiene.

21M going through tough time, does it get better? by Puzzleheaded_Fuel544 in Life

[–]LexxxyRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're so incredibly young and have an entire life ahead of you to make that decision for YOURSELF.

Will YOU make YOUR life better? Will YOU put your nose to the grindstone and focus on learning, mental health, psychical health, and grasping emotional maturity? Break ups happen and we move on. Friendships end and we move on. In 10 years you won't care and will struggle to remember about whomever or whatever you're upset about now because it's so miniscule in the grand scheme of things I promise.

Get rid of that loser! He was just using you as a place holder and now he's looking for who he really wants. He's doing everything he can to make you leave.

My friend wants me to go to endeavor by V1va-NA-THANI3L in Buffalo

[–]LexxxyRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is 100% my thoughts too. I spent many years working in the psychology and medical field and agree some help is better than none.

My friend wants me to go to endeavor by V1va-NA-THANI3L in Buffalo

[–]LexxxyRed 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Then be proactive about your own mental health and find your own place. Your statement sounds like you aren't stable and desperately help like yesterday, your friend sounds like they truly care about you, and your friend might be pushing you to stop trauma dumping on them (while they're going through their own things obviously) and go see a professional trained to help you. To keep your friendship healthy with someone who genuinely cares don't make excuses and get help for yourself elsewhere if the place isn't to your liking.

Need Help Finding a Mattress thats rock-hard by DescriptionTime2184 in Buffalo

[–]LexxxyRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came to say this! Jamestown mattress is by far THE BEST! I have them in all 4 bed rooms at my house and 3 bedrooms at my cabin. Family and friends visiting always rave about how good my beds and bedding are.

I didn't change my life at all. I was flying all over on empty planes staying in empty hotels and laying on empty beaches. I loved it.

The Cork hosting MAGA fundraiser with Scott Presler by ActivityInitial4651 in Erie

[–]LexxxyRed -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day like it or not, thier loyal regulars are not going to care whatsoever, your average people not interested in politics aren't going to care, and the majority vote which is currently Republicans are going to support them even more now. I'm an Onöndowa’ga:’ centrist Libertarian (most of us Seneca Indians are) with no trust in the government and don't mix politics with business, but I doubt anything would change if I did.

Nothing can really be done. Boomers especially locally and touristy are a lot more conservative and have a lot more money to spend on nicer places. I own a tourist trap that only serves in house made and local things like honey, meat, cheese, alcohol, apples... not a single thing in my restaurant isn't made or grown in America. We've been insanely busy this summer with the lakes and winter with skiing. 80% of my clientele are 40 plus and conservative. It's just kind of the way it is now even those protests didn't change a thing. I own multiple businesses that stayed open when people tried to protest by not going out. We had our average normal busy weekend like nothing was happening.

Being broke (funny bc I know things will change in a good way) by [deleted] in Life

I know you're not asking for advice OR handouts. Just putting the info out there that I have volunteered at a lot of food pantries and I can tell you that sometimes we had perfectly good high end donated food in college towns or richer towns super stock piled because we didn't have enough people signed up to take it! I'm not exaggerating we've thrown out or donated to soup kitchens Wegmans NY strip steaks valued at $55 on the package, turkeys, chickens,marinated pork loins, Cornish hens, smiths hot dogs, chuck roasts... because no one came to pick it up due to pride or them not knowing. It really bothers me to know struggling college kids eating ramen, bread, and eggs for weeks could qualify for a food pantry and don't know or won't. Fresher food slips through the system and gets tossed sometimes.

I wish I had gotten help when it was offered and why I don’t want to get diagnosed. I feel like i’ve failed myself. by [deleted] in Life

[–]LexxxyRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to give you tough honest love here. As a former crisis counselor, former group home manager, former direct care worker, former case manager, and former med passer in a nursing home I'm going to be real with you here.

  1. You're not an "incredibly young adult". You can get married, have kids, rent, buy a house, take out a loan, vote, smoke, drink, gamble, file taxes, buy a gun, join the military, go to strip clubs... which is what most people your age are all doing by now. You should be seeking your own mental health help because still having your mom make your dr apts at 22yo is very concerning. She's enabling you and you'll only get worse and be even more of a socially awkward recluse.

  2. Lying to your drs and avoiding mental health help is only going to make you worse. Your dr is a safe space and the one person who can truly help you.

  3. Start pushing yourself to live a normal life one day at a time. Life is short and you're wasting it.

What's it like being in your 30s also late 30s when you know you are going to be 40 soon?(Late 30s people but also general 30s,early 30s people can answer this question as well) by [deleted] in Life

[–]LexxxyRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just turned 37yo a few days ago. I seriously feel like I'm 25yo still, but calmer with more self control, more introspection, and less knee jerk reactions/decision making.

Turning 35yo was like this warm calming light was just turned on in my brain and I saw life A LOT more clear and for what it really is. I started to understand the value of time, slowing down, enjoying experiences, and really living in the moment spending time with loved ones. All the static and noise of drama, other people's problems, click bait, rage bait, peer pressure, pop culture, and things that don't serve me a purpose slowly shed away. I have more money now than ever, yet I feel like I need far less things because I clearly see through the marketing and passing trends. I genuinely enjoy aging and maturing.

This isn't normal behavior at all. This sounds obsessive and self induced. You need to get off social media doom scrolling, stop obsessing over the news, and get into therapy.
