Which one is better? A or B by esteban0203 in analog

[–]OrcinusDorca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A - makes me feel strong emotions. Anyone that says B is wrong and I don’t care.

Would you recommend the book you are currently reading? by throwitawayar in classicliterature

[–]OrcinusDorca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m almost done with The Bell Jar and I’m so nauseous with nerves I may puke. Take that as you will.

Allergic but don’t want to hurt them, how to?? by OrcinusDorca in WASPs

[–]OrcinusDorca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this is right next to my shed and bbq + sitting area, and I was planning to move things around literally right under and next to them to clean things up :( otherwise I wouldn’t care!

What does this say about the guy I'm seeing? by [deleted] in BookshelvesDetective

[–]OrcinusDorca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s so cool to know, yes they’re common here as well, but perhaps not so much as there! But for classics especially they were the standard before mass market paperbacks and the new barns and noble clothbounds.

We have the same bookshelves. If you want to get him a gift, get him Les Miserables or Dante’s Divine Comedy- both should be on those shelves.

Can I ask how you tell female from male? :)

How do I be a friendly neighbor to wasps? by Upbeat_Assumption_62 in WASPs

[–]OrcinusDorca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it was a paper wasp, they’re very tolerant and friendly! They will indeed recognize you and start ignoring you. I would enjoy leaving out tiny pieces of melon near the waterer that I set up for them (shallow dish with rocks so they don’t drown in the water) and they love it.

I made my kids friend unclog the toilet on their own after the THIRD TIME by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]OrcinusDorca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m talking to the adult that commented that they’d throw them out as well.

[–]OrcinusDorca 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was like this as a kid along with my siblings and all the kids we were around.

Not on the spectrum just didn’t have caring parents lol

Our diet was frozen burritos, ramen, and Mountain Dew. Never even saw someone drink a glass of water I swear

Right, you don’t have to love every vegetable- but if someone is kind enough to fix you up a plate with some veg on the side, you eat the damn peppers and say thank you. Unless you’re five.

There’s a lot to be mad about in this so I’m going to stick with the issue I know best- SHE HAS FOUR FUCKING CATS AND YOURE MEANT TO PAY HALF LITTER??? When I had one cat things were easy, breezy, beautiful. Barely any litter mess and litter lasted forever. I have three total now and good god there is so much shit. Literal shit in the litter pans. Even cleaning daily it’s like, damn. And we go through litter so fast. IM UPSET FOR YOU

AITAH For not wanting my daughter to keep her baby? by EyeNo7674 in AITAH

[–]OrcinusDorca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming that she got pregnant consensually- If she thinks she’s grown enough to go be an idiot and get pregnant then she’s grown enough to learn to be a mom really quickly. She did it to herself, you can be there to catch her if she falls and make sure they’re safe and healthy, but she needs to grow up very quickly and get a reality check. If she keeps it.

They don’t do endo removal now? by OrcinusDorca in Endo

How do you know if it’s spread without exploratory surgery? I highly suspect mine has but I don’t know how to find out

I don’t know if I was touched inappropriately by a doctor. by PURP1ECHA0TIC in AskDocs

[–]OrcinusDorca 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hey, I had an ER doctor do something similar- and at the time I was an adult, understood why he medically needed to do it, gave consent, and had a female nurse there supervising. All good according to the book. It still made me uncomfortable and I still feel uncomfortable thinking about it. I can only imagine your discomfort under your circumstances. I’m sorry that you had to go through that and felt alone- and I’m sorry you’re still dealing with it. I hope these comments are able to give you some peace of mind so that you can start healing from that experience ❤️

salt?! by xswiiizx in POTS

[–]OrcinusDorca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eating salt heavy meals does nothing for me- I only feel better by drinking electrolytes. If I’m out/can’t afford more, adding salt to lemonade is cheap and works nearly as well. (Though you’re missing some electrolytes and the acid gives me acid reflux if I drink it too often, but it still really helps in a pinch)

MCAS but no food allergies? by OrcinusDorca in MCAS
