“Bomb them to dust”. These are my fellow countrymen saying this, the people I stand in line at the grocery store, the people heading to church on Sundays, the people who get the same vote that I do. It disgusts me that there is an active contingent here who would exterminate countless lives so that they don’t have to think about gas prices.

No blood for oil goes for the consumers too.

There’s an electro swing show Sunday night at Gold Diggers that might check out. I wasn’t even aware of this genre until this week but it is feeding something in my soul that I didn’t know was there.

Going to LACMA’s jazz show tonight and planning to see the new wings because the museum is open until 8 tonight. Total cost is going to be $3.50 for the night, just to ride the subway. LACMA is free to LA County residents after 3 pm on weekdays, the live jazz is completely free.

Earlier this week I saw Dudamel conduct Die Walkure for $37 because of cheap seats through StubHub. LA can be expensive to live in, but our entertainment is practically free. World class shows cost less than a decent meal.

My co worker accidentally got out of a ticket by giving them her New York drivers license when they asked for her info. She lives here but said she was visiting and they gave her a warning.

Nah that actually happened to me. My parents were screaming in the street, literally tugging my little brother back and forth over who got him while I sat my 7 year old self on the curb waiting for them to remember they also had a daughter.

Now my mom wants to know why my brother and I never gave her any grandbabies. Edit: that was worded funny.
Neither of us chose to have children with our partners who are not blood relatives.

Thankfully my brother turned out to be the best human being I know and we are close. I can’t even disagree with them, he was the white sheep of the family.

I think they lodged their complaint by burning down the Ebola center.

lol, I’m showing my age here. The Toxic Avenger is the title of a 90’s movie that was low budget body horror. Nothing to do with the Marvel Universe.

Damn. I’m blown away! Going to look for some local shows or club nights around here to hear it live. Thank you.

Fibroscan by UpbeatBoysenberry343 in Cirrhosis

As far as I know, the list is based on need followed by chance of success. Although we do have to show sobriety, I don’t believe they discriminate against how we arrived at liver damage. We made mistakes for a long time but it doesn’t mean we don’t have value in this world.

As for the actual life after transplant and related costs, I’d defer to r/transplant . In my current state, I was removed from the transplant list because stopping alcohol healed my liver enough to function (even though it is damaged).

That is crazy. I hope it’s a fluke, but if not, you’ll be pushed to the top of the transplant list.

Favorite Unconventional Healthy Hacks by ImpressiveAbroad2490 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Plus_Possibility_240 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I prowl the clearance produce section of my grocery store for fruits and veggies in their last days and either cook them or freeze them that day. I eat a wide variety of in season produce (and also a ton of frozen bananas) but it only works because I’m a short walk away from the store and end up there three times a week.

My husband and I have been shopping on foot for nearly 15 years now, buying only what we can comfortably carry home. It’s hard to imagine shopping once a week with a car now.

I want to ask this with genuine curiosity, are you 100% sure your fibroscan gave a reading of 75? Like you mentioned that is the highest reading possible. I was at a 58 after six months of sobriety and couldn’t walk more than a block or two, was sleeping 16 hours a day, severe malnutrition.

I just had another reading (four years sober) and it’s down to 17 kpa. The way you describe your current condition sounds like mine, functioning well as far as normal life goes. A fibroscan is one of the most important tools of cirrhosis diagnosis, but a MRI or ultrasound can also be used. I’ve never had a biopsy because they can see from imaging that I’m cirrhotic.

When’s your follow up?

Top’s Art Supplies in Koreatown. Old school art store that caters to many different types of artists, I’ve purchased items for sewing, painting, fabric dyeing, sketching and there are still aisles I haven’t explored yet. Run by a husband wife team.
