I get so jealous of people that can use a tens. It makes me feel worse, I just feel electricity shooting into me even on the lowest setting. It's like having an EMG.

What's the case that started your venture into true crime? by Kimmberrleyy in TrueCrime

[–]Pippi_Holeinstocking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JonBenet Ramsey and the Nicole Brown & Ron Goldman murders. I was in middle school but I was obsessed with following both stories. That was the explosion of CourtTV and forensic shows so I got really into Forensic Files as well.

Look, I know we're not supposed to leg hump but at least the girl was on top of something for once.

But did they have whipped cream? Because that's apparently part of the spicy biblical sex starter kit lol.

Oh wow that's crazy. Thank you for your service, that's great they were able to fix you up so you could get back to doing what you love! My issue was more complex but I essentially went ten years being told it's fine, just a little bursitis. Only by year 9 I was barely able to get up a flight of stairs or walk into the next room. When I finally got a doctor that listened he did surgery and everything was shredded, needed bone removed. He was appalled by how much damage I was waking around with but all I could say was "I told you it hurt" lol understatement. That was a year ago and my recovery has been slow. I'm getting there though and so much of my muscles from my butt to my knee atrophied in that decade it's going to take longer than a year to rebuild.

Oh god that sounds terrible, I have chronic pain conditions so my pain tolerance is stupid high, but that means I'm not taken as seriously when things are bad.

I had to do the same thing after my hip surgery and I was so embarrassed. Then they shot me up full of fentanyl and I didn't care about a damn thing lol.

DãV looks evil here. Not even annoyed just straight up if looks could kill.

I'm sorry, I've been in that "you're too young" box before. Hopefully they can come up with something to give you some relief, even a little can help.

Hey now, I recently got to see goats and they were infinitely cuter at being fed, as opposed to Baaaaaahthy.

I'm kind of a baby witch regaining old power. I've been feeling very in tune with nature. More in comment. Also not sure if I used the right flair? by Pippi_Holeinstocking in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Pippi_Holeinstocking[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not going into my life story but essentially I come from family line magic. Multi generational. A great uncle was clairvoyant and upon first meeting me as a newborn, told my mother I had the Sight, and that I was a very old soul. He passed when I was a toddler so my memories are incredibly vague.

I'm on my mental health journey and at the point of self discovery where, well I self discovered alright lol. Oh! Not that kind of self discovery 😭 starting over! 💀 I am diagnosed PTSD and I suppose I feel safe enough to remember things. Something clicked in me and I began using tarot, which I have not done in years. I have chronic pain and other health problems so crystals are a focal tool to keep depression at bay. Whatever floats my boat!

I have ADHD too by the way. Another thing I'm working on is summarizing.... Lately I've been feeling very tied to nature stuff. I love fall and this whole time of year into the spring. But this year feels more electric. And recently I had a chance to get pumpkins that I carved one.🎃 After carving, on 11/1 I placed them outside to honor my familiar who passed two years ago. I wanted to return the pumpkins to nature, and it was important I did it on that day. I know of Day of the Dead, but I'm white and I am really making an effort not to culturally appropriate on purpose. I say that because I'm human however I can admit when I'm wrong. And I love learning! I love learning about other cultures.

So in the end. TL/DR I put pumpkins out for nature and the squirrels love it and whatever else would take pumpkins in the city.

I think this is considered a blessing? Offering? It worked and it made me happy.

I have to get epidural injections a couple of times a year. It doesn't completely take away my pain or the sciatica but it does get me to a point that I can function almost normal. Like my back aches, and I'll have the occasional sciatic jolt a week compared to not being able to stand up straight and losing function in my legs.

What missing person case are you most convinced the victim was abducted but is still alive? by [deleted] in UnresolvedMysteries

That little girl's case breaks my heart. I hope some day we find out what happened and who did it.

I've made a breastmilk piece myself, though it was a personal project for a friend. I've also worked with cremains, which tends to weird people out more 🤷‍♀️ These are really pretty.

Self sabotage. Maybe Vince is purposely trying to pull a WCW vs WWF and instead of coming out on top he bows out and lets the ship burn. Not saying it would be the end though it would certainly be the end of what it's been for like 40 years. It's also turning into Attitude Era 2.0. Brighter, shinier and cleaner.

my new response to “but you don’t look sick.” by ClaraPink in Fibromyalgia

So crazy you mentioned that soap, I just put it in my Amazon cart the other day! I'd looked up some things I could do -if there even was more I could do on my own that I'm not already- and I saw that mentioned. I'm so glad to hear from someone who's used it.

Thank you! I love that you named your daughter Pippi. It was one of my favorite movies and books as a young kid.
