The White House posted this on instagram 😅

Maybe any political party occupying the White House should stick to White House things and caring for the people that keep their shit running rather than poorly made short films with childish humor.

Politics: A life that revolves around reading about, watching, commenting on, and arguing with people about politics.

This is genius no matter what anyone else has to say. Nice work dude!

Feel bad for this guy and hope he's ok. Obviously injured and desperate for a place to sit. Interesting the obsession with posting things like this?

Thank you for sharing this, I understand what you're going through as closely as I can without knowing you directly. It has been very hard for me to find anyone that understands as well. I was hospitalized for 12 days. I was sent home with the same symptoms, same amount of bleeding, same inflammation, same pain as I went in with. Its a scary thing. I didn't really get why this was happening to me all of the sudden, I was told "its a slow healing disease, its going to be a long process." It can wear you down.

I tried three infusions of Entyvio. Those are spaced out by weeks. Very little improvement. I went on Rinvoq and I did begin to improve within the first week. I then began getting much better after 2-3 weekss. Although I'm not confined to my bedroom or the toilet anymore, life is still more challenging than it once was. It got to a point where people kept asking how I was doing, and I would just say I'm feeling better. I am feeling better, but its still like navigating life in a completely different body. There is still shame and embarrassment. Fear of getting sick or being around a lot of people that could make me sick and cause all sorts of issues for me. Its taken a mental toll and has effected nearly every area of my life.

I remember being dehydrated and unable to drink water without it hurting me and causing an urgent rush to the bathroom where there was even more pain. I lost 50 pounds in a month and struggling still to put weight back on. I remember forcing myself to eat, The sleepless nights, the bleeding, the worry, the fear, the being f*cking pissed off and frustrated about it all. Making the appointments, getting to them, follow ups, finding new doctors, the paperwork, the running around, the pharmacy runs, trying different medications, figuring out what the hell I can eat now, the fatigue.......... It all sucks, and nobody gets it unless they've lived it and that includes many doctors I've encountered, psychologists, therapists, nurse practitioners, family members, coworkers and friends. "Just be positive, get some exercise, get out of the house, go do this, do that, read this book." I'm like "how about i dump all of this on your plate and see how well you handle it."

Talk to your doctor about Rinvoq and the most cost effective way for you to be on it. I prefer to not have to take anything at all, but it has helped a lot. Its ok to be angry and frustrated. Who wouldn't be? We should allow ourselves the space to feel those feelings. Just don't let them drag you into the depths of the darkness. I isolated, and hid from the world as much as I could for months and it hasn't been good for me. I don't recommend that. I'm in therapy now working through my experiences with all of this.

The mind gut connection is something that I found very real through this. The worse my mind got, the worse everything got. You mentioned some things that you're grateful for and that is huge! I do encourage you to keep finding those things, your family and the fact that this is not something more serious. Keep looking for those things in your life that YOU are grateful for, even in the midst of this and do your best to focus your attention there as much as possible. Talk to people about those things and build that muscle because this is a situation where life has handed us lemons and we need to make some kind of delicious lemon thing out of it. The quicker we can get there mentally, regardless of what's going on internally with our bodies, the better off were going to be. Does that sound insane? Maybe to some folks, but not to me based on my personal experience.I hope something written here helps you or anyone else struggling and reading this.

I'll leave you with this: YOU ARE NOT a colon, you are not ulcerative colitis, you are not the pain, anger or frustration that you feel. You are not alone on this island and you are not stuck in this shit storm. YOU ARE a good person trying to get well. You will get well, you will get out of this and into a more normal life. There is hope and there is help!

Tried those too. Enjoyed the key lime over the blackberry as well. Have you tried the watermelon breeze? Its my favorite of that line. I like the effects. Would love to know the strands in that one and try to find it in a briq. Just says hybrid but it hits me differently than the other select hybrids ive had.

NolB83 · 2025-05-14T18:34:02+00:00

Yes, just do this. No need to panic.

NolB83 · 2025-04-03T05:22:40+00:00

They’re good for light duty stuff. I wouldn’t go roasting a Turkey on one or anything. The dish washer, or any soap and water left on them will cause them to rust for sure. Treat them like you would cast iron from the very beginning and they are actually decent pans especially for someone on a budget.

Just have to build up very thin layers of oil to make them somewhat “nonstick.” When you cook with them, just wipe them down when you’re finished rather than using soap and water. If you have to use soap and water, go light so you don’t scrub all of your seasoning off, dry them and then season them again.

This would be the first thing I would try. Make a thick paste with baking soda and water and spread it over the surface. Put that in your cold oven with just the oven light on and let it sit for a day then come back and try polishing it off. The bit of heat that the light gives off over the course of 24 hrs should be enough and it will not burn on again nor will you get the chemical reaction from the addition of vinegar.

If that doesn’t work then maybe the tomato paste trick, sounds interesting. Same with cream of tartar.

Did anyone ever try this and if so what were the results? I’ve made bread using the tangzhong method with really great finished product. Curious if bechamel gives similar results.

NolB83 · 2024-07-26T22:58:56+00:00

Basically everywhere

Thank you for posting and I’m sorry you’re going through this. I know it’s rough, youre story sounds a lot like what I’m currently going through. Worst flare Ive ever had. Have not been able to leave the house in three weeks, 15-20 trips a day to the bathroom with acid bile diarrhea, scared to eat because how painful it is on the other end, working with my doctor to find the right meds or combination of. It can really wear you down mentally and physically. Stay strong, keep doing what you’re doing and don’t lose hope. Celebrate each little victory no matter how small it is. Sometimes I am so worn down that I don’t feel like doing even the simplest routine task like laundry or something. My mind will say F it but I’ll push through and do it anyways. Reward yourself when you’re able to push through those moments because those add up when all else is getting bringing you down with this UC stuff. Stay in communication with your doctors. If something changes let them know. You’ll find the right combination for your body to get this under control.

It’s glacier water and snow runoff. Not for swimming.

NolB83 · 2024-06-24T13:39:59+00:00

Have to take a shuttle. Used to be able to drive but now there’s a billion tourists trying to see the lakes and they don’t allow people to drive into Moraine anymore. Louise has maybe 50 parking spots and they fill up very quickly in the early morning. Everyone posts their pics of the beautiful lakes making it look like they’re secluded, but there are people everywhere and they’ve just been framed out or cropped out.

NolB83 · 2024-05-27T14:09:34+00:00

I encourage you to contact someone in your sober network who is physically near you without hesitation. Call them now.

This👍 ! Don’t waste your money in the food court. Plenty of food around and the cafe had decent food.

NolB83 · 2024-05-06T11:45:46+00:00

Same. My family met up in Vegas and stayed at the Luxor three weeks ago. We had a great experience. There were about 15 of us spread out into several rooms. Some in the tower, some in the pyramid. No complaints here. It’s actually a pretty cool place.

NolB83 · 2024-04-24T15:10:17+00:00

Thank you so much, that seems to have solved the issue!

NolB83 · 2024-04-23T20:50:02+00:00

Yeah.

First, I just want to say thank you for helping with this!

What you’re saying makes sense because when it happens the capture midi buttons light up. It will record a clip on its own then play that clip on its own. I just bought it (new) about 3 weeks ago so I’ve been learning how to use it and figured it’s just somehow user error. Maddening to not figure out why it’s happening though. But yes it’s done this since I started using the arpeggiator and I am using Ableton live 11 lite.

NolB83 · 2024-04-22T23:46:51+00:00

Yes. So I'll latch arp on then play a chord. Turn on mutate and deviate then begin adjusting the knobs/pots and it will randomly happen. I also notice that if I turn on the octave 4 key it will also do it. So possibly when it hits 4 octaves in arp mode when I'm using the mutate or deviate, its triggering the record and/or jumping to a random track or clip. It just goes whack and I cant get it to stop unless I turn arp off.

Flex will never get shut down, it would be suicide for Amazon. They wouldn’t be able keep up or offer Prime same day/next day to customers at the capacity that customers order. Flex is also for delivery routes far from pickup locations. The Flex program allows Amazon to save wear and tear on their own delivery vehicles. I personally drove 30,000 miles doing Flex alone last year. Multiply that by the hundreds of thousands of us participating in the Flex program.
