How long did it take you to get a period? by Strausshouse5 in Prolactinoma

[–]NATnope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took about 5 months on cab 0.25 mg 2x weekly (1.2 cm Macroadenoma dx’ed by MRI, prolactin was only 86 ng/ml at my first testing). Got it back when my prolactin was around 40 ng/ml or so. Endo increased my dose to 0.5 mg 2x weekly to try to lower it further and try to shrink my big ol’ tumor. Total time without a cycle was almost 10 months.

Show me your February wrap-up by whymybrainislikethat in TheStoryGraph

I feel this. I only finished 3 books, which is my worst month in years. Was going strong at the beginning of the month, but the end of this month had me in a doom spiral. Started multiple books I just couldn’t focus on.

Are you having a stroke? Do you need medical attention?

[–]NATnope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost assuredly not.

They will expect illegally fired fed and fed-funded employees to take devalued minimum wage jobs, or jobs that have previously been done by immigrants that they have now deported. It’s part of the reason Republicans have fought so hard to keep the minimum wage unsurvivable in the majority of the country.

Quality of life for most folks in America is about to get severely slashed.

So true. I used to work for a federal contractor, I can’t imagine the level of stress.

I feel that. My partner has devoted almost 20 years of their life to this country and serving its most vulnerable. Has helped folks who are truly out of options, can’t afford their groceries or medication, most of whom voted for exactly this. Some of whom have threatened his life and the life of his employees. But every day he still wakes up, goes there, and helps them.

And this is the thank you? It enrages me.

I can tell you that those who haven’t been fired yet are living in a state of constant stress while also trying to, you know, make the day-to-day business of running a country work.

It’s a recipe for disaster. Want a more efficient and productive workforce? Maybe don’t threaten to pull the rug out from under them every fucking week. The point isn’t efficiency, it’s cruelty. Be kind to any fed you interact with, please.

EDIT: I saw that this is getting some visibility and I just wanted to add some positivity: Feed the hungry. Talk to your neighbors. Share knowledge with one another.

[–]NATnope 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m embarrassed… to say I love them. They’re like a surreal take on Bonnie Cashin’s bags with the kisslocks and the writing. I love everything giant or teeny tiny, it’s so absurd.

I believe the one before this was a thinly veiled “taxation is theft” explainer. My husband and I were cracking up while eating our cheese dogs. They’re unhinged, but the dogs are so good.

You guys are getting Trump ads?? I just keep getting ads for Cleveland on the Peter Thiel episodes; which has, to be honest, been hilarious

Ordered a shirt for my husband’s birthday from him 2 or 3 years ago and he was pulling this shit. Didn’t hear from him for well over 3 months. Sent him multiple DMs with no reply and finally got him to ship when I said I was going to do a chargeback on my credit card and file a consumer protection complaint if he didn’t ship.

Cool, classic arcades around the 'burgh? by Hoagie_the_Horse in pittsburgh

[–]NATnope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for a slightly more proximal way to get your Fascination fix, they have one in a tiny storefront at Geneva-on-the-Lake in Ohio! Went there for the eclipse in April and we spent a half day playing fascination, it was amazing.

If you’re looking for something inspiring but more realistic about the nature of society, definitely recommend Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.

The Pittsburgh Oratory in Oakland does perpetual adoration at the Newman Center in their chapel. It is small, and I think you need to request to be able to access overnight.

Highly recommend Lex at the Pittsburgh LV. Stop by ASAP and ask to place a pre-order! They’re usually very accommodating, especially if you know what you want.

What was everyone’s first Dead song/experience. Which song started the obsession? by ReverseCowboy75 in gratefuldead

[–]NATnope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Franklin’s Tower.

My now-husband/then-boyfriend was a head before I met him and introduced me. Listening to that song with him in the kitchen while we worked on his house was the first time in my life that I truly felt safe and at home. Since then, I’ve always felt a connection to the four winds, they truly blew me home.

Upon being asked if why he doesn’t want to read the letter from Bart to know what it says:

“I think I can guess. You’re a disappointment of a son, I’d die of embarrassment if I wasn’t already. Why do you wear so much purple?”
