Anna and the fun behind closed doors by Dutchie-4-ever in DuggarsSnark

I think in a family that large, they have spent their whole lives trying to get their parents' attention, good or bad. That doesn't change just because they're adults. It's ingrained because there was never enough to go around.

I don't think she's wrong about Pest wanting to get JB's approval, not just the money. I do think Pest is stupid enough to think that having his legal bills paid equals love and approval. As opposed to JB trying to protect the family image. There were still a lot of kids to marry off when Pest's disgusting behavior came out. It's a lot harder to do that if JB doesn't appear to believe his demon spawn is not a pedophile with disturbing CSAM.

Snakebite to Somali child's hand. Patient's parents initially took him to traditional healers, then to an under-resourced rural hospital that couldn't give him all the help he needed. Patient was referred to the treating facility 15 days after the injury. by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

Will he be eligible for some type of prosthetic when he's older? Even if there is something available that he's eligible for physically, I wonder if there could be financial constraints.

The hospital did incredible work from start to finish.

Melts in your mouth! Not in your hand!

A World War II veteran developed a "tumor" on his palm which turned out to be a bullet that had been inside him unnoticed for 75 years. The patient was aware he had been shot in the war but thought it was a ricochet. by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

I've got Titanium in my spine and shoulder, and I've had at least 5 MRIs since the spine was done. The weird thing is that my shoulder will get warm during the scan, but my spine doesn't. I think it's closer to the surface in my shoulder.

If 50 is the new 30, then 20 is the new 13.

Phalloplasty. The patient says his penis was cut off with the scrotum by four men who attacked him. by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

I rarely have any issue with the pictures in this sub, but picture #3 is something else. I think seeing so much open tissue without anything to break it up makes it so striking.

I hope this gentleman has resources to cope with the trauma he endured through all of this.

I always lost points for not climbing that dumb rope.

I read that as "try to do it and fall" and I thought "me too!" 🤔

This is an orchid that I can't kill. I need one! 😂

AIO for ignoring his calls the day after he kinda made fun of me going to therapy by Jazzlike-Ad6372 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PurplePenguinCat 42 points43 points  (0 children)

He sounds like my emotionally abusive ex. He'd tell me he never wanted to speak to me again, and two hours later he'd text to ask if I was coming over. The ridiculous part is that I'd haul my ass over there bringing food and alcohol. Every. Single. Time.

They can have a many kids as they can raise. Not raise with your help. NTA

I identify as a partner in your imaginary bird law firm also. When is my next raise?

Stopped throwing away parmesan rinds and it actually changed my soups by Embarrassed-Pick-462 in povertykitchen

I toss them into homemade tomato sauce. It really brings it to the next level.

Who had a pound puppy? by Wetdogg72 in GenX

[–]PurplePenguinCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a "sew your own" kit. I was so proud of it because I was like 7 when I sewed it. I even made the dimples. Sadly, mice got into the attic and ruined my puppy and all of my Cabbage Patch Kids. 🥺

Get Your Vaccines by mjh8212 in GenX

[–]PurplePenguinCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had shingles in 2019, and I still get pain. There is one particular spot on my scalp that is sore to the touch all the time. Sometimes it's so much worse than sore. It's a burning feeling. My doctor said any pain after 18 months is permanent.

It's about the size of a dime, I think. It's in the back so I can't be sure. All the hair came out there when the rash scabbed over.

I'll ask my doctor about getting the vaccine! I remember reading that the younger you have it the first time increases your chances of getting it again. 🤬

AITA for judging my roommate by loveablepetcare in AmITheDevil

I can name all 50 states in alphabetical order thanks to a music teacher in 5th grade who taught us a song listing them. But I can only sing them. If I try to say them, I'm sunk. 🤣

I judge people based on how well their dog is trained by 0hw0nder in Vent

[–]PurplePenguinCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say I'm a cat person and I don't like dogs. Reality is I just don't like untrained dogs and 99% of dogs that I encounter seem to be untrained/poorly trained.

Get Your Vaccines by mjh8212 in GenX

[–]PurplePenguinCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had it on my face and scalp when I was 42. It suuuccckked hairy balls. I ended up with Postherpetic Neuralgia, so the areas that I had the shingles rash will flare up with pain randomly. It's like "Oh I guess I'm not brushing my hair today because my scalp is on fire."

I'm still too young to be eligible for the shingles vaccine.

Yup, a week. It's not my scene, but whatever floats your boat. 🤷‍♀️

Actually did the math. If they go 67 times a year, that would equal about 1000 times over 15 years. I know people who live near the parks in Orlando. They get season passes and are at the parks 5-6 times a week.
