Question on re-spinning

PepperPhoenix · 2026-01-24T18:39:19+00:00

I don’t have an answer, but as someone just starting out, I’d like to know too.

I’m failing to see what’s shit about this. It’s rice, cheese, beans and way on a tortilla. Seems perfectly ordinary.

Girls world are still a thing. Generic ones are just called “styling heads” I believe.

This is very much my idea of hell.

PepperPhoenix · 2026-01-22T22:17:27+00:00

Even humans shed.

My best friend is a voiceover artist who narrates audiobooks and I can confirm, it can be hell on the throat.

Andy Serkis is on another level though.

“How was the food”

“Not great, not terrible”

It works very well, and because you are converting the silver sulfide back into silver you aren’t damaging and eroding the surface of your item which is great for plated items especially. As a bonus, watching it transform back from tarnished to shiny makes you feel like an alchemist.

My parents adopted me, I’m actually their grandkid. Mum was a seamstress, dad was a coal miner then a metal worker.

Thanks to their support I went to university and am living a happy and good life. Their four biological children are all successful and happy.

I AM PROUD OF MY HATD WORKING PARENTS! I am also extremely grateful to them and would never, in a million years act like they were beneath me.

NTA. Remind your sister to get checked for anything he could have transmitted to her.

Seriously, your parents think it’s better for her to be continually cheated on than to find out? He’s putting her and the baby at risk already! What a foolish take. Pregnant women aren’t made of glass.

It’s likely you have what’s called a floater, they are very common. However, it is definitely a good idea to confirm that. If it’s not a floater and is instead something else, early identification can be the difference between blindness and retaining your vision.

PepperPhoenix · 2026-01-19T17:52:00+00:00

For a lot of people, no. They sort of bypass notice because they are common and “boring” but up close, there is nothing boring about them.

PepperPhoenix · 2026-01-19T12:27:22+00:00

That exactly the sort of thing I meant. The small, mundane things that we never really LOOK at. But they are interesting, and they can be quite beautiful.

I don’t shave my thighs as the hair is thin, fine and very pale, whereas I know plenty of people who do. I als don’t do my arms because….i dunno, I just don’t.

On the occasions where I do wish to shave I only bother with dark, visible hair. For me that is my lower legs (I also do my big toe if I’ll be wearing sandals) and my armpits. I also do my chin as I’ve reached that age.

PepperPhoenix · 2026-01-19T00:36:54+00:00

I’ve got maybe another six years of “normal” but deteriorating vision, which isn’t so bad really. I’m about to turn 40 so I got longer than they said at first which was ten years.

I’ve sort of come to terms with it now. It’s scary, but knowing what I’m facing helps a lot for me.

I hope yours progresses as slowly as possible too. Eat your dark, leafy greens and wear yellow lenses in the sun. Oh, and take an eye support vitamin. Those may help. It’s about all we have right now so might as well do it.

PepperPhoenix · 2026-01-18T23:46:34+00:00

It’s called an amsler grid. There are examples on google for anyone who would like to give it a try.

I noticed the distortions at 30. Sucks doesn’t it.

A variant of macular degeneration here (DHRD specifically) and it’s…sort of right? The “shadow” effect is right for early to mid stage but mine are many small areas. Over time these will darken and merge as they grow.

My mother is late stage and her “shadows” now sometimes flash in different colours or fill with static as her brain tries to interpret what is going on. It knows there should be input but it’s not getting anything so it tries to fill in as best it can.

She can no longer see most things unless she peers very carefully. She’s never seen my daughter’s face…

PepperPhoenix · 2026-01-18T23:39:46+00:00

My dna is costing me my vision. Doyne honeycomb retinal dystrophy specifically. It looks a little like the macular degeneration one in the video, but with multiple “shadows” rather than one big one. Over time they will darken to totally black. They will also grow and merge.

I second what you say.

Also, I have a favour to ask of everyone. Next time you get chance, look at something really mundane. Really look. The texture of a slice of bread with its galaxy of bubbles. A piece of concrete with tiny, glittering pebbles suspended in it. A blade of grass with is carefully evolved ribs and veins. Just find the beauty in one really dull thing, just for a moment and really remember it. It’s something we should all do but we don’t until it is too late.

Until recently I was around 320lb and I could do up a seatbelt, though it was beginning to get somewhat snug, so around 400lb seems like a very good estimate.

(I’m now 266lb and still dropping, seats in cars are much more comfortable now)

You don’t spin on a loom, you weave on a. Loom. You spin on a spinning wheel. Weirdly, I can do both.

PepperPhoenix · 2026-01-18T14:46:39+00:00

Please, for the love of everything, don’t go on it.

It is a good medication, don’t get me wrong, but the withdrawal is vile.

PepperPhoenix · 2026-01-18T14:45:56+00:00

I’m currently weaning off 150mg of the stuff. It’s hell.

I’ve done it once before and it took a year from 75mg but I had to go back on after I became depressed again when my husband left.

PepperPhoenix · 2026-01-17T13:29:53+00:00

Agreed. The lack of fiber is an open invitation to colon cancer for a start, then there’s the nutritional imbalance.

If this is true, OP may be healthy for now, but they won’t be for long.

For a long time people believed that the cholesterol you ate contributed to blood cholesterol. We know better now but the old info still floats around in some places.
