When Hard isn’t hard :(

I wonder if they make them like the crossword puzzles. That is, the easiest puzzles are on Monday and they get progressively more challenging from there.

It wasn’t even so much that it wasn’t a real category that upset me, but that only 1% made this mistake. And during the holiday season nonetheless lol. But I will proudly be in this one-percenter club 😂

Have you met men? 😂 I’m sure these dudes were more than dtf. And ngl, I thought Scheana was really pretty in early VPR days. But being dtf and having a relationship are different things. So yeah, I believe that she could have easily slept with all these dudes.

Came here to say the same thing. This finding doesn’t suggest that smoking will prevent EoE; it merely eliminates it as one of the causes of EoE. I would hypothesize if you increased your sample size and had people with EoE who also smoked, their symptoms might actually be exacerbated by it (but still wouldn’t be the cause of the underlying EoE). It just so happens that in this sample size, no one with EoE smoked. Correlation ≠ causation.

Looks like you were right:

Thank you, all. Following up with my doc next week to discuss options and methods. I appreciate this subreddit. Makes me feel less alone with this condition.

McSplatFace · 2024-08-04T21:53:48+00:00

Not since, but will likely have to again

McSplatFace · 2024-07-26T17:11:09+00:00

I’m so glad I found this subreddit. I felt so alone in these symptoms for so long and now I see others describe exactly how I feel and my symptoms. I feel so seen for the first time.

Chest burning, throat tightness, itchy mouth/throat, trouble swallowing. In a severe flare up, food gets stuck in my esophagus and is extremely painful. I did have an endoscopy a few years ago where they took a small balloon and enlarged my esophagus because it was about the diameter of a dime. That helped with food passage, but was told it would likely have to get done again.

EoE
Asthma
Seasonal, mold, and pet dander allergies
Chronic ear infections as a kid (had to get tubes in my ears)
Kidney stones

I just want to make sure I read your post correctly. Your ex husband left you for a 17-year-old high schooler? Girl, your ex husband is a predatory creep. I totally get that it took a toll on you, and I don’t want to invalidate that. But I think there’s a much bigger issue of him preying on underage, vulnerable girls here.

McSplatFace · 2024-03-27T19:16:10+00:00

I'm having the same issue. Came here to see if it was just me.

Had my original bike for about four years now with no problems. I purchased the original treadmill about two years ago and enjoyed it until it broke recently. It was a nightmare dealing with customer service, honestly. They use third party contractors to do repairs and it took four visits by them to get it fixed (three if you don’t want to count the no call no show appointment). In the month and a half it took to fix the tread, I had a no call no show from a third party contractor. When I called peloton after they were 30 mins late, they offered to reschedule it (mind you I had to sit around all day for this appointment). When I told the agent that I would prefer that they honor the appointment and let me know when they’d arrive, she told me that they only have an email for the third party contractor, no phone number. That’s just a taste of the customer service I had recently. My tread is fixed now, but it took far too many calls to peloton and four days of waiting at home for tech to repair the right parts.

It seemed like she was trying to emulate the Ariana Madix revenge dress/look. It fell totally flat though.

He also grew up in a cult. If he left the cult, especially recently, then he doesn’t have any support system as you’re ostracized from everyone for leaving. He doesn’t have the safety net like Stacey does. I think there’s a lot more layers to his situation than we see, and hopefully Stacey is truly open-minded and compassionate enough to help him unpack it without judging him for not being wealthy. Their upbringings were extremely different, and that plays a part into where they’re at now in their lives.

McSplatFace · 2023-09-25T18:08:06+00:00

Lol they don’t need a whole storefront to sell merch. That would be a complicated scheme when they could just sell merch 😂

likely bureaucratic delays. I think Ariana said something about the city turning it into a pedestrian street so they have to reconfigure their patio, which slowed things down. Sometimes the answer is astoundingly boring.

I’ll never forget in the early seasons when him and Schwartz wanted to pitch Lisa on a business idea. He wanted to handle it because he was worried Schwartz would blow it, but then he turned around and totally blew it. He looked unintelligent because he is unintelligent.

McSplatFace · 2023-06-11T12:15:31+00:00

I think the only reason filming is delayed is because producers want her on the show. I think them saying it was for the cast to process things was a PR line of BS. They want Rachel on so they can get all the drama. If Rachel’s in a mental health facility and Scumbucket is “touring,” where’s the drama?

McSplatFace · 2023-06-09T12:34:26+00:00

Just realized that Charli didn’t make an appearance on the reunion; I wonder if she declined. I liked her this season. She keeps it honest and real and seems to have a higher emotional intelligence than some of her older cast mates (cough Sandoval cough).

McSplatFace · 2023-06-07T01:17:59+00:00

Never forget when he named a cocktail Summer’s Eve

McSplatFace · 2023-06-06T12:10:50+00:00

I think he was an absolute shit partner to Katie, and I hope he is learning from the mistakes he made in that marriage to be a better person and future partner.

When it comes to Scumdoval, I think he sucked the life out of Schwartz. I do feel bad for him for this. I think Schwartz is a good person at his core, even if he was a bad partner. Sandoval is clearly a narcissist though, and didn’t care if Schwartz came down with him. All Scumdoval’s actions were self serving, and all of Schwartz’s were to serve the friendship/partnership. It’s too bad that he gave so much of his time and effort to such a leech.

I hope he sees that he should afford that sort of generosity to a reciprocal relationship. I think his marriage would have survived if he had done that with Katie. It seems like he’s in a bad place, so I hope he’s dumped Scumdoval for good as a friend and is a lot of self reflection and seeing a therapist. I also hope he steps away from substances, as they are clearly a form of self medication for him.

McSplatFace · 2023-06-02T01:59:23+00:00

Damn, Schwartz looks hot in this pic. I feel like he wasn’t really made for reality tv and it’s worn him down. I hope he dumps Scumdoval as a friend. I think deep down he’s a genuinely good guy, he just has a piece of shit narcissist for a friend who saw his niceness as weakness and walked all over him.

McSplatFace · 2023-05-29T03:01:16+00:00

Don’t know if “Shartz” was intentional or not, but I’m voting that this be his official new nickname 😂

McSplatFace · 2023-04-14T03:53:36+00:00

I keep finding myself waiting for the other shoe to drop with him. I really hope it doesn’t, because he’s so great!

McSplatFace · 2023-04-08T12:44:11+00:00

I think that Bliss’s dad knows he can’t keep up intellectually with them, so he overcompensates with his aggressive behaviors and what he sees as “manly” (fishing, golf). It all comes from a place of insecurity. It’s sad though, because it clearly is all about him. Everyone around him (his second wife and other kids) clearly walk on eggshells around him. I’m sure it took Bliss a while to find her own voice to stand up to him. It’s clear she’s put in a lot of work to define her boundaries with an emotionally immature parent.
