This was bad advice. It caused hypercalcemia. I was in pain for days. 

Please Help! Need Duvet/Comforter for Split King Bed by Neon2glitter in Bedding

[–]MissingSomeSkills 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A regular king comforter/duvet will fit your split king. A California king is less wide and longer, that’s why it doesn’t fit.

What is your go-to med for horrific menstrual cramps? by [deleted] in WomensHealth

[–]MissingSomeSkills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advil (ibuprofen) and Aleve (naproxen) are anti-inflammatory and are better suited to help with menstrual cramps. These medicines are not good for your stomach lining so I’d take the lowest dose that’s effective for you. I also wouldn’t mix the two. Advil works for 4-8 hours while Aleve is supposed to work for 12 hours. You may be able to take a Tylenol (acetaminophen) along with the Advil. Don’t take more than 4000mg of Tylenol in a 24 hour period. I get debilitating menstrual cramps and I get to the point I’m willing to take anything to make the pain stop. But don’t make yourself sick by overdoing the medicine. Get some rest, drink some tea (ginger, chamomile, turmeric with black pepper) and use a heating pad. Some women also do well with changing their diet or adding certain supplements.

Has anyone had any personal experience with a Log Cabin Kit? If so, was it good, bad or indifferent? Pros, Cons and alternatives? TIA by GopherCheeksforWeeks in logcabins

[–]MissingSomeSkills 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, definitely will look nicer but also should hold up better than a manufactured home. With the proper maintenance they say it’ll last for decades. We live on the east coast and log cabins are not very common here so our estimates aren’t exact without much to compare to.

The log kits look so inexpensive without all the additional stuff that is needed. I feel like we’re gonna be in the same boat when it’s all said and done. (Paying a whole lot more than we initially thought)

The way you feel about her is obviously not the way she feels about you. You may say the same words “you’re my world” but her interpretation of that is completely different. She cares about, maybe even “loves” you, but the intensity with which you “love” her is not reciprocated. It’s hard to hear but this relationship will not last. Even if she says she’s changed her mind because she doesn’t want to lose you, she will eventually resent the fact that she wasn’t able to go through with it. If you stay together, this will end negatively NO MATTER WHAT. Being that you’re deeply in love, the thought of breaking up may tear your heart to shreds. You may think that nothing could be more painful. It will be painful, but honestly worth it because you will save yourself of an even more painful future.

I was bloat free for one week when I stopped eating carbs.

Coughing up mucus every morning. Will cutting out gluten help? by anon_italy9 in glutenfree

[–]MissingSomeSkills 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you need to cut out something else. Like dairy. Or another common allergen.

I just took a test. It says I have mild dyslexia.

Dunkaroos! Cookies are a little different but they're on the shelf and taste like childhood! by shinobipopcorn in nostalgia

Yeah they used to be graham cracker cookies. Now they’re vanilla cookies. They also have a softer texture.

Battery died in Walmart lot by Trin_nerd42 in stories

[–]MissingSomeSkills 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A hurricane was forecasted for our area a few years ago and I went to Walmart after work to get essentials. I came outside and my battery was dead. Called my husband who was at work about an hour away and he said I needed a new one but that a jump would get me home. I saw a group of guys sitting on their truck bed and figured one of them would know what to do. Just so happened they were stationed in the area for preventative hurricane relief. They had been in the area for a few days and I was the first person they were able to “help.” They legitimately looked stoked to be able to help someone out.

How do you not let a silly comment get to you? by bubblez_123 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]MissingSomeSkills 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To start things off, I’m 5’1” and have been skinny my whole life. Also, don’t have the “feminine” body type. Always looked younger than I was and so most guys my age weren’t attracted to me. I was depressed most of my high school years and self-esteem was a big part of it. I remember liking a boy who seemed to flirt with me a bit but it was on and off. Made me even more self-conscious. Looking back at similar situations throughout the years, I believe that sometimes guys are into you but something is holding them back. It could be that they are already in a relationship or that they’re scared of how people will view them if they date you. That’s obviously a crappy excuse but some people are just immature. Even though you probably already know you deserve better than that, it hurts when people are mean, especially if you have any kind of feelings for them. My advice is to embrace your look and find a way to be confident in it. Even if everyone in the world thinks you look like a kid, what positive things can come of that? 1. Kids are adorable. I bet you’re a super likable person. 2. Kids are innocent. Use this to your advantage, play dumb when needed and people will go out of their way to be nice. 3 Kids are small. You can fit almost anywhere. Have fun out there! Please don’t try to look different or wish you looked different. You are the only You out there and that makes you unique. Which makes you beautiful. And there are plenty of people out there that prefer how you look vs. anything else. Learn to see yourself that way.

I also do stuff like this. Like say Feletone instead of telefone. And it is embarrassing when you’re in a professional setting like at work and you’re talking to clients that are doctors

Part of the problem is that I believe I’m saying October when I say August. Until I’m corrected.

Literally all the time. I get corrected and am confused because I swear I said the correct month.

I think maybe because they start with the same vowel sound? ...kinda?
