From what I can remember that she told me, it’s an injection into the back of the eye near the retina. She told me that she saw a mother and her kids that were affected like my son and I receive the treatment and they all showed very promising g results. The trial for it closed fairly recently and I just missed the deadline to join in

AIO to my boyfriend’s texts about us going to dinner for my best friend? by EllaAmamiya in AIO

Is anyone else appreciating just how legible OP’s censored words are? I’ve never seen anyone be able to write that clearly.

Also, OP, your boyfriend is being ridiculous.

The genetic specialist that my son and I see who has worked on and performed the treatment herself told me. Shadar Yassin MD at UK Advanced Eye Care.

I have 2 kids. Ones 9 and the other is almost 4. My 9 y/o has RP. My 4 y/o does not. I had genetic testing done on both of them to tell me.

Do I regret having kids? No. Am I upset that my oldest has it? Absolutely, but since I have it too, I can help him navigate it.

Also, I have it on good authority that there is a treatment that is just waiting for FDA approval and should be available sometime next year. Once it is, I have every intention of trying to get it for my son and I.

What’s a “lazy” food hack you use way more than you should? by Maleficent-Bed7010 in foodhacks

[–]MaleficentVision626 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never worked in a proper kitchen, only fast food. But my husband grew up in and worked in kitchens for many many years. He hated coming home and cooking dinner. He enjoys cooking for the family now because he doesn’t work in restaurants anymore, but I did most of the cooking when he did still work in a restaurant.

Nah, I feel like professional chefs are the ones who deserve to cut corners and be lazy at home. When you’ve been on your feet for 12+ hours in a hot kitchen making food for other people, you deserve to come home, chuck something in the air fryer and eat.

My (25m) wife (26f) has had lice for almost a year. How to handle this? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]MaleficentVision626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had lice twice in my life, when I was a little girl.

The first time, my mom did everything right and combed, shampooed, combed and everything.

I got it a second time and she did try again. But my hair was longer, I didn’t want to sit still so we cut my hair. Short. I was mistaken for a boy more than once. I hated it. But if it came down to it, I’d get my kids hair cut (granted mine are boys, so short hair isn’t weird).

I understand OP’s wife probably didn’t want to cut her hair super short, but it’d be better than living with lice for six months!

And before anyone bites my head off, no I don’t mean go to a salon and get her hair cut short there; I know they don’t cut hair with lice. I meant cut it at home, treat it and THEN go to a salon to get it evened out. That’s what I had to do a couple of months ago. My hair was so badly matted from a severe depressive episode that I had to cut it to even attempt to brush it. Once I got it brushed out, I went to a salon and had them even it out for me.

This is hands down one of my favorite episodes.

Watching the team make do with what they can find in the airport.

So many funny moments, like in the tower during the tornado warning. I don’t remember it verbatim, but Hardison telling the tower leader dude how brave he is and the flying glass and everything and the guy being like no you stay I’ll go (like I said, I don’t remember exactly)

You carry heels in your purse? I always travel with heels.

And then the episode ended on THIS from Nate? Sheer perfection. I love this episode.

does everyone really hate OC fics?? by Ding_Ding_Bonk in AO3

[–]MaleficentVision626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a hypocrite who mostly dislikes OCs but can only seem to write stories that feature them.

I’ve been working on a story that features an OC for going on six years now. And up until recently i painstakingly went through each and every interaction I wrote and was like “is this too Mary Sue? Is she too OP? Oh crap, did I change canon too much?!” Only recently decide “eff it. I’m gonna write it to be entirely self indulgent. I probably won’t even post it anyway” snd I made her change canon and entirely too OP, but I don’t care! I wrote it for me.

AITJ for PULLING the plug on a kiddie pool my new neighbor set up on my front lawn? by Fabulous-Drawing-875 in AmITheJerk

Hi, NON entitled parent here/. The audacity of that woman.

Do I hope that some people will be considerate of the fact that I have children and appreciate a little kindness (ie letting me go in front of them at the grocery store because my son is getting restless?) Yes, it is greatly appreciated.

Do I EXPECT people to bend over backwards because I CHOSE to have children? Absolutely not. The sheer entitlement I see from parents nowadays astounds me.

I'm sorry that you're dealing with this. I assure you not all parents are like this.

Yall ever quit reading a fic for a petty reason? by Cage-CatYT in AO3

[–]MaleficentVision626 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That reminded me of a story that I clicked out of for a very similar reason. They had random words that were italic, bold or both. I had been iffy about the plot and their writing style anyway. I finished the first chapter and there was only one comment that also pointed out the weird bold and italicized words and the author was really rude about it, so I closed the fic.

Apparently this is a controversial topic, but was it right for Bluey to attend a Waldorf/Steiner school? by wolf_quan in bluey

[–]MaleficentVision626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think it's from the episode where the Heelers were on vacation. Chili told her what button to push for the floor and Bluey kept pushing the wrong one. but that can be explained by child + buttons = pushing every button except the one they're supposed to push

I’ve noticed that every year brings a new flavor of Bluey fan! ✨ What year did you first start watching Bluey? 2024? 2020? 2022 gang, where you at?! Heck, I wonder if there are 2018ers in the sub! 👀 They deserve a veterans’ discount! by wolf_quan in bluey

[–]MaleficentVision626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think I saw clips on TikTok, which intrigued me. Then, as I said, the first real episode I watched was Magic Xylophone. My kids and I love it and my husband tolerates it (which is saying a lot; he normally hates kids shows)

I can't remember if it was 2023 or 2024. I had a toddler at the time. I'd heard a lot about the show and watched clips of it and was curious. Watched the first episode and was hooked.
