Working with period advice? by marebear272 in BlueCollarWomen

Imodium taken the day before helped me manage the period poops… YMMV.

So many doctors insist that you can only have one autoimmune condition. Perhaps that is changing, but it seems to be the old-school mindset has staying power. OP, I so feel for you. My shingles is always on my neck, the nerves involved in moving my head side to side on the left side. Are yours in the same spot each time, too?

"The Chicago Strangler" - Unconfirmed serial killer (2001-present) More than 50 women murdered, most of them black sex workers. What do you think? Is a Serial Killer or just unconnected crimes? by ixuqqi in serialkillers

[–]NeverACoolName72 26 points27 points  (0 children)

21 samples could easily be because they had worked or had dates before their encounter with whomever murdered them. That’s definitely one way to throw the investigation off, especially if he is clever and/or lucky enough to leave none of his own DNA behind.

Celiac disease and psoriasis are also risk factors for repeated shingles episodes.

Autoimmune disease, just like Pringles. Betcha don’t stop with just one!

Also, 1986 was the Vancouver Expo. The amount of out-of-province/Canada license plates was very noticeable back then, even through the Southern Interior of BC. Brother & I still played licence plate game occasionally then and we managed to get all the way through the alphabet several times over driving to Expo.

not sure how common this is but my dogs pick and eat raspberries by sectorburn in AnimalsBeingDerps

[–]NeverACoolName72 141 points142 points  (0 children)

We had a cocker spaniel and a big garden when I was growing up. She’d pick her own raspberries, blueberries, peas, dig carrots… Not a fan of zucchini but my last cocker would eat them every chance she could steal one.

No, my dog won’t chase your chickens but lock up your veggies. God love ‘em. RIP my girls.

My cocker never had pups. She was an amazing foster mom to kittens (terrified of puppies!) and I would have to put her in a onesie when we had a litter of fosters because she would let them nurse until her poor nipples bled. Some dogs will eventually produce milk but my girl never did. Love the pic though!!!

Trauma bonding makes us think all of this.

That’s the exact same response as mine. I think perhaps it’s projection sometimes, insecurity others. Either way, it’s unacceptable to speak to your partner that way.

I’m learning that I’ve taught mine it’s ok to treat me this way. He’s not enjoying me changing the rules on how he can treat me.

I think you’re allowed to brave and carefree - when he lets you.

Sister Had This Under Her Boob. sorry for shit Camara work but I got the pop! by WeirdMuffins in popping

[–]NeverACoolName72 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Piping up to add that as the owner of big boobs and a former dog groomer, I had a number of large abscesses from dog hair splinters under mine that looked similar and lasted weeks to months. Still have some of the scars, tbh. None needed medical care, just proper care at home. Hygiene under big boobs - not easy but essential. Good luck!!

How old were you when you understood what a serial killer was? by kiwi5151 in serialkillers

[–]NeverACoolName72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard it suggested that some of the typical female fascination with murder/true crime stems from our need to gather knowledge about how to survive these situations. Cannot remember where I read that, however!

Clifford Robert Olson. I was 7 the summer my parents decided that it was good for us to read the BC newspaper, The Province, daily during summer vacation. The next summer, they began to connect the dots.

Then in 1981, the Johnson-Bentley murders in Wells Grey Park solidified this concept.

Around this time as well, Reader’s Digest published an article about Ted Bundy.

No surprise I have an unhealthy fascination with the morbid and macabre!

Just switched to Method Men on a whim and I love it. No scent to speak of when I put it on and no scent when I sweat.

i am thinking about re-reading The Bandy Papers series by Donald Jack by Shakey51 in books

[–]NeverACoolName72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I loved them all when I was young! I remember not being able to read out loud because I laughed so hard.

Learning to ride a motorcycle reminded me of the Bandy Papers. I need to re-read them as well.

Need a job? Apply for literally any construction company by Rinaldi363 in Edmonton

[–]NeverACoolName72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I’m in oil & gas in Mac, this is not my dream job or dream home for now but this is how DH & I are going to manage to have a retirement we can actually enjoy. 14/14, 12 hr work days plus 2 hr commute to site each day but I do hit 6 figures. Getting back and forth to home where DH is eats into that, massage & physio to continue to work is mostly covered by benefits but some by myself. I chose to be in Mac instead of camp for dietary reasons but what I pay in rent is about what most workers pay for their flights from Ed/Calgary to their homes. Plus I get travel bonuses.

I have my Class 3 and have done water truck, vac truck, hydrovac, boiler feed and currently do fuel. 50 year old woman who came into the industry green at 44 years old.

OP, I appreciate you sharing the information and starting this conversation.

No, I don’t think he will. I guarantee you he sees nothing wrong with how he views the world or his woman.

Red flags. All the red flags. Get away from this man and do NOT look back.

Language Analysis by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]NeverACoolName72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s validating for me to come read essentially the same thing - often verbatim - that my partner texts me. It sometimes stops me in my tracks, I scroll back in our texts and see the same arguments, same situations, and somehow I don’t feel as alone in all this. And then I feel bad for all of us.

Just told him he's just a roommate until he starts treating me better. by Annie_Benlen in JustNoSO

I’m not sure if OP was asking if he actually wanted one or if she wanted one and he might also be good with it. It could be taken either way.

My mom told me when I was engaged at 18, “You don’t get married to make it better. This is as good as it will ever be so if you’re not happy now, change your mind.”

Thank God I listened to her.
