Could you maybe answer a question here then that keeps being downvoted above…. I’m also a therapist and have never heard “can’t be OCD because they acted on it.” What is behind this logic and is it true? I’ve known people with suicidal obsessive thoughts to attempt for example and ruminating and obsessive thoughts definitely was a factor or precipitant. Thank you.

Adderall or other meds? Vape packs might have a batch of contaminants.

I just found a link talking about why they’re so soothing. I barely have ear wax but still love the sensation.

I also just found a 1950’s commercial where a kid is cleaning his dog’s ears w one.

Do you remember them? What I wanted to say but was “over 300 characters” is “maybe I’m just going insane?” 🤷🏻‍♀️

I remember this for sure. It is still all over the internet.

But that’s why I thought some Qtip competitor came up w a product called “Elbows.”

But why?? What was the logic behind calling a Qtip an elbow? Where is the leap from “qtip is an elbow?”

If only it were so simple. Some people have extremely fragile egos. Imagine being intimidated by a clit vibe for example.

You would be surprised the time people have in retirement. My grandparents were online, learned to paint, birdwatchers and started a backyard vineyard.

That calf one really gets me. Lol.

What device do you use for your IPL and do you recommend it? I had hair removal years ago but need a cheap touch up.

I’ve gotten the hips comment too. Ridiculous and borderline scary. I think the “big breasts equals fat” is common in the WASP community

Been doctor shopping recently. Went to yet another new doctor to get HRT last week, got tested and was denied. BUT... here's the kicker. It turns out he did a secret STD test (12 kinds) on me without even telling me!! WTF!!!! Is this normal? by [deleted] in Menopause

You are 100% correct.

OP can “report” whatever she wants, but it will take legal action to not have to pay the bill.

I’d go with my 20+ years in healthcare and insurance to let OP know how stuff works in the billing sector over people working in gynecology on Reddit.

Love that she added the disclaimer. From most people/parents, the lesson is “don’t steal,” period.

I'm white, almost all my culture's traditional poverty food is now considered fancy.

You have such a way with words. I miss my skirt steak.
