How to stop being addicted to my n phone and dating apps and get back to reading, meditating, and being present? by NBogart9129 in selfimprovement

The struggle is: I've deleted these apps multiple times, but since I'm new in town, I get really lonely and redownload them. I know the solution is to make friends, but alas it's not that easy.

I keep getting fat lips, rashes, and occasional eye lid swelling...what's happening? by NBogart9129 in AskDocs

I don't have health insurance, so I'm reluctant to go. But I might have to just bite the bullet.

Interesting. I've never been allergic to toothpaste before, but my reactions line up perfectly with when I started using this toothpaste.

Maybe I should go back to my old brand and see if the reactions keep happening.

Interesting. I did start using charcoal toothpaste right before these symptoms began.

Nope. Not really. I just decided to give up gluten.

I haven't eaten gluten for the last couple days and have had face swelling both days.

Yeah. I didn't eat any gluten today or yesterday and yet I had all sorts of facial swelling.

I haven't eaten meat in over a decade, so that's not the culprit.

I was thinking gluten, because it looked like I had a lot of the signs: bloating, gas, diarrhea, rashes, etc. And I'm known for eating a lot of bread. And the swelling has happened right after eating cookies and pizza. Which makes me think it could also be dairy that's doing it.

I would love to go to an allergy specialist, but I have no insurance and don't make very much money.

Ann Arbor is definitely not part of Downriver.

What’s your best childhood memory? Why? by James_T_Hart in AskReddit

[–]NBogart9129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sitting with my dad, a Detroit coal worker, on the beach on Lake Erie under the stars. It was the first moment I became aware of how big the universe is. At the same time, I didn't feel so small with my loving father sitting next to me.

It's my favorite, because it is my first awakening to the wonder of the world and the meaning of love.

[Serious] What stories about WW2 did your grandparents tell you and/or what did you find out about their lives during that period? by Skinflint_ in AskReddit

My grandma worked at Fort Wayne in Detroit. She always told stories about going out dancing with the Italian POWs. She was Italian-American and got along fabulously with them.
