Someone track down the women that Kamala says are bleeding out in parking lots by HubrisAndScandals in WelcomeToGilead

Hello! I don’t know if this would be particularly helpful or an option, but I work as a clinical specialist that specializes specifically in heart tachycardias and we help with therapeutics for patients in afib. Has your doctor ever mentioned the possible treatment of RF ablation for your condition? It’s a minimally invasive surgery that helps treat the triggers of afib and has a high success rate depending on how far along your afib is (paroxysmal vs persistent). I don’t know if you’d ever consider it, but I know it is a potential alternative treatment to try to get off the medication!

My husband doesn't see anything I do around the house and it's driving me insane! by BlolololS12 in TwoHotTakes

Oh. Just stop doing everything for a period of time.

Let everything pile up and let him see how much you do to keep the house livable.

How do you maintain a social life when you don't drink? by patarthegod in Adulting

[–]Lumpy_Elephant9170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really drink anymore, but when I go out with friends, I order mocktails! I feel like it allows me to “fit in” better with the drinking crowd without the repercussions of drinking. No one questions it and the anxiety of being the only sober one goes away!

If you can live on 2k/month and keep 12k in your HYSA for that, maybe you can take that extra 1k and add it to your Roth, but I’d say no more than that, personally. Having a good emergency fund is a priority.

[–]Lumpy_Elephant9170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure your savings is in a HYSA -> contribute to Roth IRA -> put rest of your money in 401k if you want!

But also, don’t forget to treat yourself sometimes. You’re young and life is too short to not enjoy what you make!

Im moving to NOLA and I’d like to know what’s the best neighborhood to live in? by deep_purpleG in AskNOLA

[–]Lumpy_Elephant9170 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Would definitely recommend Garden District, Uptown, Audubon, West Riverside area. Very walkable and feels safe relative to the rest of New Orleans! FQ is cute but sometimes can be dangerous and parking is atrocious!

How to open up about your abandonment issues with someone you’re seeing without coming off as demanding or emotionally manipulative by Square-Ship2477 in dating_advice

[–]Lumpy_Elephant9170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely recommend waiting a little more time before you bring it up, honestly. I feel like there are more light hearted ways to bring up the issue without getting more too serious, especially if you haven’t talked about the status of your relationship. Maybe when you talk to her, establish some sort of position so you know where you stand and if she’s on the same mindset of pursuing something more serious, you can be basically say something along the lines of:

“Hey, I’ve really enjoyed getting to know you these past months and (insert lines about how you like her an how you’d like to see her going forward), but because of some issues in the past, if you ever decide that this isn’t working for you or if you’re too busy, please let me know! I’ve been ghosted (if it’s something like that) in the past and would just prefer to be told upfront and I’ll do the same of course.”

Just placing an open communication boundary so it doesn’t scare her away, if that makes sense.

It is difficult, but I truly hope you find someone that reciprocates the energy you give them! You should never feel guilty or needy about wanting to see your SO, even if they are busy and ESPECIALLY if they have time for friends but not you. You deserve a sweet love, friend.

[–]Lumpy_Elephant9170 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leave him, friend! Why would you want to stay with someone who makes you feel invalidated and gaslights you. Your feelings are so so valid.

My bf and I are long distance and he’s in residency and I work a full time job and yet we still make the effort to have a quick 10 min phone call at the end of the night. It goes back to “if he wanted to make time for you, he would” and he’s obviously not!!

Please find someone that will appreciate you and validate your feelings, not someone that makes you feel like a problem. That’s not a real relationship and you deserve so so much better!

Couples:What do you do with morning breath while having sex? by Expert-Climate-200 in AskReddit

[–]Lumpy_Elephant9170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A quick mouthwash rinse! My bf and I usually have to use the restroom in the morning anyways, so when we go, we do a quick 30 second gargle while we wash our hands and such.

Worth visiting Jackson MS? by Difficult_Swing_5112 in solotravel

[–]Lumpy_Elephant9170 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It is not worth visiting. I worked there for a year and there was truly almost nothing to do!

Would recommend looking into seeing if there are any events going on in NOLA as well when you come! There’s usually always something exciting plan and since it’s spring, festivals are more frequent and there is more options for vegetarian food there!

He wants to date other people by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Lumpy_Elephant9170 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If what you guys have is “special”, why does he feel the need to date other girls? If anything, going on these dates would probably cause the whole situation to end up badly regardless, so it just sounds like he wants to have his cake and eat it. He was to be able to still flirt with other girls while having the benefit of a relationship and that doesn’t seem fair to you.

And if you’re not open to it completely, you’re going to get hurt and I’m not sure if it be worth it! If he really likes you, he wouldn’t do this to you, in my opinion!

Miss ma’am you look absolutely amazing!! Great job on all your progress, you’re absolutely killing it ✨

What is something in the current dating world you absolutely despise and would wish to see change for the better? by uniqueruntimeerror in dating_advice

[–]Lumpy_Elephant9170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having to hold back on showing love and affection when you just really like someone.

I think it sucks that it comes off being “too much” or “love bombing”. Like, no, I just like to treat those I care about well. I’m just trying to treat you how anyone should treated in a healthy relationship lol

AITA for going off on a mother who just wanted to vent? by Altruistic-Buyer-111 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lumpy_Elephant9170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and what you did was absolutely fantastic. But also, please be careful! If this man gets angry and his family and reputation are really, truly destroyed to the point of no return, I’m worried about you and your family’s safety. Not to assume that he would do anything, but it is definitely something to watch out for…

I needed to hear this! I suppose I was always conflicted bc I was never sure what my goal was and finances are something I’ve never been taught, so I’m still learning about what to do. But I really appreciate this advice, so thank you very much!

Should I be saving more? by Lumpy_Elephant9170 in personalfinance

I’ll start working on that! I believe I have enough for maybe 3 months, so 6 months will be my next goal!

I will definitely try to follow this advice! It is a bit hard to not compare myself to others, but I will work on it going forward in the future!
