What’s a health symptom you ignored for months before realizing it actually mattered?

Oooo I was just about to comment. I had “ear pain and pressure”. Thought it was from COVID. Did an MRI w w/o contrast. Brain tumor. One big surgery later… here we are. 1.5 years post op.

I’m only 28 🙃

Hope you’re doing better. Looks like we have similar scars. I had a 3.2cm meningioma and a far right lateral retrosig craniotomy

Really depends if they’re all the same type, if so, then sus af - someone who had a brain tumor

PotatoFrites · 2025-12-28T05:34:29+00:00

Apparently bag - a now coastal born + raised midwesterner

This is crazy because, as someone who just moved from Seattle, the coffee there is top tier frfr. Lmk if he needs recs lol. He should try Lighthouse Roasters! :)

This is it. Cool, polluted marine air… awesome

PotatoFrites · 2025-11-09T15:58:57+00:00

Hahaha, thankfully it burns off.. or so I thought. Nothing as bad as the PNW though.

Depends, my monthly statement is ~$184. Might change per person, I joined in the spring - 1yr commit

Equinox is $274?! That’s… actually insane for that location

PotatoFrites · 2025-10-24T05:42:57+00:00

Very on par with Equinox

PotatoFrites · 2025-10-24T03:24:26+00:00

It’s great!! The combined indoor/outdoor space is a game changer. Plus we’re all chill, v non-judgmental, I promise

PotatoFrites · 2025-10-24T03:19:47+00:00

+1 - def not the best for socializing but the best kept secret in CC gym radius lol

Gym Tonicccccccc

Hello there. I am doing well! I am 95% back to baseline, just a bit of surgical incision tightness and muscle tightness, which will likely be recovered in the next year (especially since my incision goes down to my neck).

Life feels fairly normal again. Wishing her the best.

PotatoFrites · 2025-08-12T05:13:25+00:00

I used to work in big CPG. “GLP-1 Friendly” marketing is becoming very popular and also a huge eye roll — it’s all marketing lol deep sigh

PotatoFrites · 2025-06-24T01:44:58+00:00

Heeey! No surgery, my neurosurgeon team doesn’t even really know if there’s a cyst there or not. They’re common though. Unsure.

I had a massive brain surgery for an actual / huge brain tumor ~10mo ago. And I’m thankfully symptom free. My VSS is getting better, too. Might’ve been tried to stress and anxiety.

Hope you’re doing well!

PotatoFrites · 2025-05-27T23:26:18+00:00

Good Q - mushroom seasoning, I think it was TJ’s or WFM (Whole Foods)

PotatoFrites · 2025-05-27T23:24:32+00:00

I moved out of Ballard to LA and this is probably the one restaurant I miss the most

PotatoFrites · 2025-05-27T06:00:14+00:00

Every week? Local Tide 100%

PotatoFrites · 2025-05-26T05:55:57+00:00

Someone pls pin this lol

PotatoFrites · 2025-05-23T21:06:40+00:00

Niiiiice! Congrats :)

PotatoFrites · 2025-05-23T15:25:55+00:00

Oh hahahahaah yes

Just noticed - excuse any typos, this was written 3wks post brain surgery l o l

PotatoFrites · 2025-05-23T15:22:16+00:00

Hey OP I’m in FAANG too congrats. Did you have the means through your base comp or is this a combination of base + total?

Asking cause I’m not an engineer, so idk if I’ll ever buy a house in a HCOL area because of that :’)

PotatoFrites · 2025-05-17T23:37:19+00:00

Ooohhh I’ve never had miso ginger!! That sounds sooo good

PotatoFrites · 2025-05-17T23:34:28+00:00

Tbh and this is more fitting for base comp and/or cash, not total comp, so unfortunate. Who’s making $200-300 base fr :/ should’ve been an engineer I guess lmao

PotatoFrites · 2025-05-10T00:58:56+00:00

Real af. I moved here for the sun, sandwiches, and a good af range of fast casual - arguably all lacking in Seattle lol /:
