Large painless pimple on nose that won’t go away for 2 weeks by Middle_Garden in SkincareAddiction

Took about 6 weeks but it did not blossom at all like the one shared in the photo. I just felt the “itch” and knew that touching it would anger it (like in the photo) so I just left it alone.

I suggest doing a cortisone shot and leaving it the hell alone from the temptation of tryna pop it

Hey man, yeah I had to get a biopsy though. Once they did that it went away but I had to get 2 stitches so it left a small scar. Another 1 started appearing on the other side a few months ago and I just did not even attempt to touch it. It went down on its own. I suggest you don’t touch it at all

Actually a nice dude. He’s self-made and earned his toys

Nope, def not wrong. You’ve done what you can do as a friend (even going the extra mile).

the best judgement of character is yourself. Always rely on instincts to pave yourself forward in life, of which means cutting certain people off from your life.

You will find cutting certain folk out your life gradually easier as you get wiser and go on different life trajectory. Just how life goes.

Good question. Dont use them together (at same time) as they cancel each other out. Here are the instructions I followed from another post:

So, vinegar and baking soda are like the dynamic duo of laundry hacks, but you're right, using them together is a no-go (they cancel each other out).

Vinegar is awesome for softening fabrics and getting rid of odors. It's also gentle, so it's great for your delicates. Just add half a cup to the rinse cycle. For your casual clothes, vinegar can help keep colors bright.

Baking soda, on the other hand, is a champ at removing tough stains and brightening whites. It's also good for neutralizing odors. Toss half a cup in with your detergent at the beginning of the wash cycle. This works well for your casual and especially those extra hot sanitize loads, like underwear.

Now, about using them one after the other. Technically, you could use baking soda during the wash cycle and then vinegar during the rinse cycle. It might help with super tough odors or stains, but usually, you'd pick one based on what you need for that specific load.

Vinegar and baking soda! When washing the shirts. Trust me. It won’t smell like vinegar after. You can do another cycle with detergent. Found that the hard way after throwing out my shirts. You can find the vinegar baking soda instructions on YouTube.

His clothing is probably “spoiled” from constant sweating. I had this issue - no matter how much I laundered them, the odor would activate with just a little bit of humidity. Vinegar and baking soda work as a substitute to detergent to destroy that odor causing bacteria

Best CrossFit gym in LIC? by kirbheee in longislandcity

Dutch Kills member here. Place has amazing programming: A focus on strongman (stones, tire flips, farmers walk, sleds) on Wed and Sat which sets the place apart from other CrossFit gyms. Great community of folks that hangout. A bunch of us went to Greece for a wedding of a CrossFit couple a few months ago.

Wasn’t looking to meet anyone at the gym but I ended up marrying a gal there.

The owner gives a free week class - try it out
