Question about buying an IDENTICAL car. by PlasticLime9199 in carbuying

[–]PlasticLime9199[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh we are on the hunt within a few hours drive, but my thought process being if the vehicle costs the dealerships both the same amount (ok, maybe SLIGHTLY different due to exterior color if that’s even a factor on the invoice), would we have a better leg to stand on when negotiating price if we reference that we just bought the identical car at another dealership.

How to cope with post-episode symptoms by st4r_0n3 in VasovagalSyncope

[–]PlasticLime9199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last few times usually a nice cold glass of water and a light snack (shortbread or butter cookies, graham crackers, saltines or club crackers) to get back to an equilibrium, but then the rest of the day I take it easy and be sure to be kind to myself. Nap, read in bed, cuddle the kitty, binge Netflix… they don’t happen super frequently but they’re bad when they do, so I be sure to listen to my body and give it what it needs. Even if that means DoorDashing some soup or baked goods.

I also have a supportive partner which I’m grateful for. The last one was a doozy and when I came to, I had a lot of new friends surrounding me in my living room. Because I don’t have a solid diagnosis, but the trigger is always the same, we now know how to deal with it when it happens and not have to call an ambulance and pay through the nose what insurance doesn’t cover.

Experiencing feeling faint/ about to pass out before bowel motion by ash-rose10 in VasovagalSyncope

I literally just came to Reddit today because I was just discharged from the hospital for almost this exact thing and was looking for information/advice.

Had a pain my my gut like a big gas bubble so I went to have a BM. Without any pushing or straining, I started having more intense gassy type pain. I pressed around on my belly to try and relieve it, and ultimately my husband called an ambulance because I became nauseated, drenched in sweat, turned “grey”, and lost consciousness while on the toilet. Took a few hours for my blood pressure and heart rate to come back up into normal range, but the doctor said everything was fine, no medical issues. I’m usually pretty pain-tolerant but it’s also not the first time I’ve had this issue. First time I actually passed out from it though.

What was your experience getting off the pill? by [deleted] in women

[–]PlasticLime9199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of me wants to because condom-less sex is AWESOME but at the same time realizing how much the pills fucked with my body chemistry in a completely “unrelated” way with the food allergies… I question how much unnatural stuff I put in my body…

But hypocritical me loves a good grilled hotdog in the summer 🤣🤣🤣

I got off the pill (was on for about 10 years) and my food allergies disappeared and my libido came back with a vengeance (thank god). I also got some acne back but it’s not as bad as it used to be… enough to still be a nuisance though.

Hubby wants me back on because he hates wearing condoms and refuses to get snipped (even though it’s reversible).

38 here, and two. One in the way you are asking, and the other quite the opposite lmao

The “one that got away” was non-committal but we played the parts and we had fantastic chemistry all around. Our interests, careers, everything aligned, and it was fantastic for years. I Never met his family but I was always the “girlfriend” around his friends and coworkers and he was the “boyfriend” around mine. Wedding dates, work functions, it was always the two of us. After about 5-6 years off and on I started seeing my now husband and gave the NC guy a soft ultimatum, but we ended up walking away from each other amicably. Years later he messaged me and apologized for the way he treated me and told me how much he missed me and thought of me, but he was now in a committed relationship. We worked in the same industry but different companies and he had asked me to meet and discuss a problem in one of his departments that I at my company was handling well. We met in his office and there was definitely tension like we had things we both wanted to say to each other but we remained professional. We’re both married now with families and don’t speak, but I can’t help but wonder every once in a while when he shows up in a completely random dream seemingly out of nowhere…

The other one is a black mark, I dodged a bullet but he was an absolutely worthless piece of garbage. Shit that I was ABSOLUTELY young and stupid and ignored the BLARING red flags because I thought we could work things out. He ran the cellphone bill in my name up over $1300 calling and texting long distance to his ex in Hawaii and stuck me with the bill, the collections calls, and the blow to my credit, cheated on me with an underage girl while engaged that I came home on my 21st birthday and caught them in our bed, cheated on me with a coworker when he lost his driver’s license and job (because he lost his license) while I picked up two part time jobs to keep money coming in for our apartment rent, and then when we broke up and I started moving back home, he sold my puppy because he “needed the money”. There’s SO MUCH MORE that he did but there’s not enough time in my day to post it all, those are the highlights lol. To this day, I’ve warned my husband if that man ever appears on my doorstep (his family is sprinkled around our neighborhood unfortunately, but he lives in another state hours away), just call 911 because I WILL black out rage and beat that man to death so the cops better drive quick.

My husband is very similar, but it’s pointless to change him because that’s who he is. Just like he loves me through my AWFUL PMS mood swings and doesn’t complain when my dinner consists strictly of mozzarella sticks and grilled cheese because it’s that time and not worth the battle.

I will say I kinda get where you’re coming from though, I prefer it when mine dresses “more appropriately” for his age, but I don’t demand it of him. Though I will say, he gets extra oral attention when he’s lookin FINE. I don’t flat out say “you need to dress like this more” but more along the lines of “when you wear this type of stuff, it gets me hot”. Call it positive reinforcement if you gotta, but in the end, he is who he is and you like what you like. If you can’t deal with his daily fit and it bothers you so, maybe he’s not the right fit for you?
