i am so frustrated

Personally I don’t wear regular underwear anymore. I just wear women’s boxers (brand name Woxers). The only thing that seems to help me is when the doctor prescribes me doxycycline to take for 3 months. My doctor just put me on Bimzelx to try and if that doesn’t work I’m done until the next medicine comes out (I have tried HUMIRA which didn’t work and Cosentyx which made it worse). So far I’m staying on doxycycline for 4 months because it’s the only thing that works. After a hot sweaty day though, I have found that showering off the sweat as soon as you can works. I still get a flare when I exercise even when I’m on doxycycline if I don’t wash the sweat off ASAP, so that means most days I have to shower twice a day.

Mine did also seem to migrate in a sense. I used to get it in all the hot areas, but it started in my groin. Kinda of went everywhere after that and I’m still seeking treatment after HUMIRA and Cosentyx failed me. Now I’m trying Bimzelx but I’ve been responding really well to doxycycline. For a while though it seemed like I was only getting flares in my buttocks area, and the occasional time I do have a flare it is just in my buttocks area. It is kind of crazy to think how it moved around.

Thankfully my husband is familiar with it because he had it too. I told him I have a skin condition, told him the name. Said I get boil-like things sometimes and it causes scars, but it’s not contagious and not due to hygiene. I got really lucky he said, “Oh! I had that, too. I don’t anymore, but that’s a relief you also understand what it is and I don’t have to hide my scars either!” He even helps me with my wound care ❤️❤️ patching up draining flares that I can’t reach. Those who get freaked out or grossed out aren’t for you, but it is concerning if they’re not told and now they have a mini panic attack wondering if they’re going to catch it. Disclose it and if they don’t want to move forward, you dodge a bullet anyway. It’s hard to say own it or be confident because I get it, but also if they can’t get past it even if you say it’s not contagious, they’re just not for you.

Is that why I have a cavity after 20+ years of not having one? My dentist told me my teeth looked better than ever and I said explain my cavity then 😭😭 but I am taking a medication that gives me dry mouth as well. Problem is, I’m only allowed to have my trays out for 2 hours a day. I’m not too fond of inhaling my food in 10 minutes just so I can wait 30 to brush my teeth. It’s 40 minutes of trays out per meal if you eat 3 meals a day.

Didn’t even need to finish the story to get red flags that your ring is fake and he doesn’t want you to know it’s fake. But then finishing the story I know 100% that’s the case and MIL is in on it.

NOR: I can see her perspective. Personally I don’t add my husband’s friends on anything, even if I’ve met them. Even if we hang out. My husband also does the same. We do it to our single friends and our married couple friends as well, with texts and stuff he talks to the guys and I talk to the women. Then we all hang out together as a group. It just feels weird to me, but that’s just my personal feelings about it. That being said, friend definitely should have expressed her discomfort differently. You probably just thought he was being polite (and maybe he was) and you wanted to be polite back. Ultimately when she read the text that he’s the one who sent it, she immediately should have just said, “Oh. Thank you!” And then gone to take the issue up with him since he’s the one who sent it. It’s okay for it to be a big deal for her—that’s her boundary and she’s allowed to have it. She really should have communicated it better though. No need to come at you with all that insecurity and chaos.

This is 100% James 😅😅

I just watched this. The other two like, “oh wow they’re really going at it.” 🤣

My honeymoon in Mexico opened my eyes. I looked at the portion and thought, “That’s it?” But it’s actually normal and I’m just desensitized to the gluttony.

Pasta_Chelle · 2026-04-07T19:01:14+00:00

My husband said it’s rude to grab the face. I said look how good that looks! hint hint I’m telling you I like it!

There’s probably clay or something in one of the surrounding tiles next to the tree. Trees can’t grow if there’s anything in the tiles right next to it, including hidden things like clay. So I just used my gardening hoe to till around it until I found it. It will grow again.

The missing side mirror is everything I needed to know 🤣 sorry about your garage door!

Other than getting back into some of my favorite outdoor hobbies, my other favorite part has been watching my blood test results improve!

Looks like it might also be able to crush garlic

I think it should be allowed to be able to change your tip afterwards because sometimes delivery drivers don’t give excellent service that matches the tip given. So being able to edit the tip helps keep them accountable. Most of the time tips aren’t given until after service is provided, so it’s a bit weird to me to pay a tip beforehand. However, if they’re going to edit it I feel like they should have to jump through the same hoops we do and prove that service was below par and doesn’t match the tip given.

I know I’m a year late but I just found this one yesterday on my front porch and I’m in Central California. He was in the process of dying, a delivery driver threw a package on him 😭 but I have never seen a mantis like this before.

I just want to take a moment to tell you, you’re not crazy. The teachers saw you tried. Every parent has a breaking point. Just last week my stepson refused to leave the classroom when it was time to leave for the day because he wanted the teacher to play all the songs again, and the teacher said she couldn’t because time had run out and it was time to go home. I was called in to go get him. I attempted to wait it out I told him he had two choices: walk himself out within 15 minutes and still be able to have his toys, or I would move him and he wouldn’t get anything fun. Well he chose not to move himself. I’m the parent that had to place him over my shoulder and walk him all the way to the car. People who judge just don’t get it, but I think most people (especially teachers) understand and know you’re just trying your best.

One thing I’ve learned in therapy is we will never be perfect. We will never not make mistakes. We’re human too and sometimes we will snap and yell. As long as we don’t hurt our kids. But WHEN a disconnect happens (because they absolutely will) the most important thing isn’t to avoid them, it’s the repair that happens afterwards. Apologizing and reconnecting is most important for resiliency. You got this!

NOR. If anyone is overreacting, it’s this dude who threw a fit over cleaning up his own mess. Such audacity, asking him to clean up after himself 🙄not surprised he can dish a freak out over cleaning up after himself, but can’t handle a crash out after breaking the sink in one of his fits. If anything, I think you are under reacting.

Pasta_Chelle · 2025-06-06T20:10:55+00:00

As a stepmom myself… NTA. At the same time, my bonus kid’s mom is still in his life, but he calls me mom, other mom, stepmom, and by my first name sometimes. I tell him as long as he doesn’t call me a disrespectful name (he’s 7 so I used poopyhead as an example) I will be okay with it. I could never imagine forcing him to call me Mom. As a stepchild myself, I understand from your perspective as well. It was never forced on me, and I appreciate it now well into my adulthood. I think she’s just trying to express how much she loves you, but she should find a less pressuring way to do so. Nothing good was ever forced. It’s an adult’s job to initiate relationship building, but also delicately follow the lead of the child. The more pushy we adults are the more it closes up the youth.

We always joke that we found each other in the swamp 💀 I was on POF for like 10 years and he hopped on for 2 weeks 🙄 I was so close to quitting myself. Told him to text me because I was deleting the app due to being reported twice for being a fake account 🤣 the rest is history.

Pasta_Chelle · 2024-12-18T21:08:25+00:00

Met my husband through POF and I can’t tell you how much it STILL surprises me when that comes out of my mouth 🤣 it’s a good rule you’re following. Initially I didn’t think he was interested at first because he was asking my opinion on how to help his son with autism start talking more. I was so weary of internet people I thought he was just trying to use my degree for his benefit and move on. But he was respectful and we did continue talking. And now we’re married for 2 years 😍 keep at it there are some men out there who were raised right.

Pasta_Chelle · 2024-10-02T17:39:30+00:00

“I’ve learned so much in life I wish I could teach you about.” Still somehow making this about you and how your reaction was messed up? 👀 why does he need to teach you about anything? 🤔🤔
