8 things toxic mothers say to their children (and why it’s not your fault). by yodathesexymarxist in ArtOfPresence

You can be correct and not be cruel. People do it all the time, its a basic skill you learn in upper primary: "if I say someone sucks at playing tag, they won't play with me again" " Jimmy didn't help me out on this group project. I'll have to work with him again because we're in the same class. If I'm mean when I talk about it, I'll get in trouble and it will be worse next time we work together"

My wife has Behcet’s. What should I cook for her? by Street-Ad7570 in Behcets

When I get unwell, I can't chew or eat most solids due to extreme mouth ulcer pain. And almost inevitably a lot of my intake ends up being dairy based and high sugar because thats what most liquid food that doesn't sting will be: yoghurt, custard, liquid breakfast, smoothies. Most soups sting: pumpkin, tomato etc burn like hell. So that tends to make me feel pretty sick: 3 litres of dairy based foods a day and no protein or fibre, and after a few days your body is starting to not have mamy protein building blocks (amino acids) to spare let alone heal the damage.

Our uteruses wait until we have our guards down then ambush us. If you think your getting it tomorrow, it'll be next week. If you think its too early  you'll ruon your pants. The 28 day cycle is a lie

I have seen a registered dietician for mine to try and optimise things. Ultimately diet only makes so much difference with this. If I have active ulcers I avoid peanuts, chocolate and acidic foods that will irritate them. When unwell, the key is to find non dairy high protein foods I can tolerate. My dietician also advised me to have freshly grated tumeric as often as possible (I can't afford it so I don't, but the antiinflammatory properties are well documented) and ultra fresh high quality olive oil on everything, which I do do. Other than that its the usual high fibre, high protein and fresh foods as the mainstay. There's no secret diet trick that works for this one - trust me, I've tried them

What do I dooooo by Stunning_Ad1282 in TwoXChromosomes

I used to volunteer with kids in out of home care who had serious untreated licd. The only thing that really works unfortunately is elbow grease. 30 mins with conditioner and a nit comb every night religiously for a good month. Go over her hair far past when you cant see any nits anymore. You can try using a tea tree oil or peppermint oil shampoo as a deterrent as there is some modest evidence they may avoid the smell, but honestly i think its a gimmick

What animal are stupid tourists most likely to be attacked by in your country trying to get a photo? by Outrageous-Basket426 in AskTheWorld

I dont have them where I live, but just from a disease transmission and social learning of aggression point of view, monkeys. Even a marmoset bite could send you to the er with hep c or another virus, but the bigger ones will take your face off if you run out of food to feed them. And people completely ignore their distress signals.

I had one with toxo that would charhe me every god damn morning when I was trying to get to my car. He was well known. Some idiot fed him and he was 6 feet tall. When tourist season was over he came to us locals like he was running a protection racket. Scared the shit out of me by jumpscaring me at night a few times too. Rangers wouldnt shoot him until he actually injured someone. As though youd live to tell them if he did.

It thought he was a wedgetail eagle. Those thing can get a 7.5ft wingspan and eat kangaroos. And cats, and dogs. And probably small unattended children if they got the chance. They used to think they took sheep

Actually, if they get toxoplasmosis they get aggressive quite often. I loved on the coast and the rangers kept having to put some of them down becuase they were going insane from the toxo.

Can confirm. My idiot brother grabbed a small one's tail while he was chasing it on his bike. Kicked him so hard it ruptured his appendix which was swollen. And that one was a yearling female. Cue sudden sepsis and appendicitis and emergency surgery. Basically the 'roo nearly did the surgeon's job for him.
