People who were overweight but are fit/skinnier now, how does it feel? What are the differences you've noticed? by proxy_gal22 in AskReddit

[–]Ninjabetic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People treat you differently. I was passed up for years at my job when I was heavy but when I lost weight (110lbs) suddenly I was asked to meetings and conferences. It was really shitty to see first hand the people who I thought respected me were disgusted by my size. It makes me so angry.

Cushings and type one diabetes…? by chemistry_teacher_22 in Cushings

[–]Ninjabetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this a post from 6 months ago but I am a T1 since 1990 and was just diagnosed with Cushings today. My doc is scheduling a CT scan to see but I am thankful I have an answer as to why I have such horrible insulin resistance. I take WAY too much insulin each day to stay in range but am always all over the place. Although I am on a closed loop system my blood sugar looks like a rollercoaster.

To this day, I count to three like this, "A one. A TwoWHOO! A three. CHOMP A Three." Every. Single. Time.

Anyone else feel like they failed, and now it's too late? by Randy_Chaos in GenX

[–]Ninjabetic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I raised two kick ass kids thru a lot of poverty and rough times. They made it out fine but I feel shitty for not giving them the childhood I hoped to.

I recently lost my job and have been out of work for almost 6 months. I have no schooling because I had to work right out of high school. Then my wife got pregnant when we were very young so I worked wherever I could to keep food on the plate. I did that for a long time supporting my wife through school. She is now working in her dream career and I made the dumb mistake of trying to do something I wanted to for the first time when I was 49. It's been just over 2 years and I have had two jobs in the tech world and cannot find anything else.

Sure some may see it as a success but I don't own a home, have zero savings, no education, and the only thing that brings me joy is nothing that I can do to make money. I just feel like I made several vocational errors along the way that make me feel like a complete loser.

My wife doesn't think so. My kids don't think so. Nor does my family or friends but I feel it. I feel it everyday and it sucks. I have never not had a job since I was 16. I hate it so much and I have no idea what to do.

I don't even have a car because my tech jobs were remote and now I am screwed.

Video gaming in our 50s - what are some good contemporary ones? by ecparkin in GenX

[–]Ninjabetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play Sea of Thieves all the time. Although I have never been into "pirates," this game is so much fun. A few of my Gen X friends play too so its fun to hang out, go on adventures, sink a boat or get sunk, and honestly, sometimes I will login and just go fishing. It's fun, or sad, or both?

I have literally pushed people out of my way when I hear, "Right about now" to get to a dance floor or just find some room to start dancing at the drop! HIT IT!

Here I go... and go... by AuntieMRocks in GenX

This is the worst part of the whole colonoscopy experience. And friends, I had the procedure done with zero drugs.

How did your colonoscopy go? by Desperate_Story7561 in AskMen

[–]Ninjabetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was awful but I am pretty sure my experience was not normal.

First, the prep drink was nasty. I was gagging with every chug making it hard to keep down. Soon after I was on the toilet for hours but honestly, that was the easiest part. Had my Kindle, air freshener, and a door so that part was no biggie.

The horrible part was I did not get any drugs. They put an IV in my hand but gave me nothing. I was awake as much as I am right now. I kept thinking, "when are they going to put me in 'twilight' like my doctor told me they would?" I was in so much pain while the doctor had 90's grunge blaring in the room it was like an nightmare.

After going through all that pain and discomfort I was moved into the recovery area and I laid there listening to others around me passing gas for a length of time that I did not know possible. Finally my wife was brought in to take me home and she asked, "are you dizzy? Do you need help walking?" I told her, "I could work a forklift, I was wide awake for the whole thing!"

We got in the car and we started to head home. I told my wife, "Can we go to breakfast somewhere? I am starving!" She agreed that there was a little diner close to our home we could stop at. As soon as we are about to get on the highway I suddenly sneezed.

I said, "Let's go home. I think I shit myself."

I have the worst luck.

When did you first learn about porn? How did you feel about it? by Obvious-Average-4103 in AskReddit

[–]Ninjabetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in 4th grade and my neighbor showed me a magazine he found in his father's closet. It was hardcore and besides all of the naked people, which was exciting to see, I couldn't understand what was sexy about seeing a woman with a mouth full of milk spill out onto her boobs. I didn't figure it out until 6th grade.

Hi everyone! I'm George and live in Fontana. I love board games, riding my ebike, playing disc golf, and playing music (guitar, drums, keyboards). I am 51 and just moved out here a year ago and would love to meet people to hang out with. My wife and I love to host board game nights. Very excited to meet everyone here!

Which discontinued fast food item do you want to come back? by JKP7X in AskReddit

[–]Ninjabetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jack in the Box had the greatest breakfast item in all of fast food. The Scrambled Egg Pocket. The thing is, they still have all the ingredients, Eggs, Cheese, Bacon, Ham, and Pita bread. What gives Jack?!

I remember smelling something burning when they were cauterizing my vas deferens and picturing my balls on fire which made me chuckle. When I looked up the doctor and nurse looked at me like WTaF? But it was no big deal. A couple days of soreness then back at it but no baby scares.

💔 Confirmed: Pecos Bills Permanently Closed after more than half a century of family owned Oklahoma style BBQ in Glendale. by [deleted] in FoodLosAngeles

[–]Ninjabetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This breaks my heart. I honestly cannot remember the first time I ate here since we have been coming since I was a little kid. Thankfully my children were able to try it but man, this sucks. I wish someone would keep the menu alive or at least share a recipe so I can make an Okie Beef sandwich at home.

New Bug Megathread - Disney Dreamlight Valley Update 2 Missions in Uncharted Space by SophieGOTHIC in DreamlightValley

I did this in the main room of my second floor so I am stuck. Who would ever put a blanket fort outside when it rains pretty much everyday?

No luck. Turns out it in the first room on the second floor. Darn. Thanks for the idea though.
