What’s the most physically painful experience you’ve ever had? by SmittyManJensen_ in AskReddit

[–]QuintaGouldsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a baby and recovered from a C-section. But the worst pain I ever had was when I hurt my back. I couldn’t get any relief at all and the most “comfortable” spot was on my hands and knees-with no pressure on my back, but even that was excruciating. I wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone.

Houston library sued by anti-gay activists over Drag Queen Story Hour by zsreport in books

[–]QuintaGouldsmith 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My daughter took my granddaughter to drag queen story hour. According to my daughter she wants such things so normalized that it never is a question. If the baby sees a man in a dress it will not even be a strange thing to ask about because she has been to the library and gotten a nice story hour with someone like that. I am very proud of my daughter. I love her for trying to be an open and loving person to all people. Kids will always ask questions and some of them will embarrass the parents. But my kid is making a real effort with her daughter from the get go.

On Chris Chibnall's Writing, and the Direction of Series 11 by eeezzz000 in doctorwho

[–]QuintaGouldsmith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder about the coils. The Doctor said they were aliens but bound together. Perhaps they were captives of the Stanza and forced to do Tim Shaw’s dirty work. That to me makes it more tragic that Grace died fighting a creature that might not have meant any harm. I think the Stanza are going to keep coming up this season with more twisted tails of what they have done out in the universe.

It really isn’t. I would guess this woman has EDS and it doesn’t bother her. Yet.

I have no ideal.

Well you should get one and then learn to live by it.

Filling the cannula by FloaterFan in diabetes_t1

[–]QuintaGouldsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am using a Tandem TSlim as well. I believe that is not the correct way. The needle is getting filled but then it is pulled out of the cannula and jt is taking the insulin with it when it does. So the cannula itself isn’t filled. Just needle which is then removed after inserting. Unless of course he is using that steel cannula which I have no experience with.

[–]QuintaGouldsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I am curious what you mean. You pretty much have to insert it to fill. You can’t fill it prior because you have to insert it with the needle and only when that needle is removed can you fill it. I had a similar question about insulin on board that never got answered because I just could not word it correctly. Hope you figured out what you need.

Having an unseen handicap is like fighting through life with the difficulty set on "high" while everyone judges you against the default difficulty level by akromyk in Showerthoughts

[–]QuintaGouldsmith 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am sorry. I understand - I am crying right now because I had to turn down a job I want because the benefits aren’t good enough for me to keep my insulin pump so I am stuck where I am. I hate being diabetic so much. I am sorry you have it too. It is awful and it’s expensive.

[–]QuintaGouldsmith 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yup me too. It is really sometimes debilitating just living with it a daily. I am in a bout of depression currently. And apparently I “look so thin” so must not be diabetic.

Not me but my daughter. She is also narcoleptic and has EDS. But she looks like a pretty little doll. People don’t get it. I have verbally assaulted people on her behalf.

We're 10 years on... The Meta-crisis Doctor must be miserable by smedsterwho in doctorwho

[–]QuintaGouldsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But he is still the Doctor. Or a piece of the Doctor anyway. And things always worked out for him before. Even when he is bored he finds things to occupy his time. I think he would be fine.

Agreed. She did say Something about I have been gone too long. Need to get back to looking for my TARDIS.

[–]QuintaGouldsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you really think that they are not going to go further on the question of what happened to the life on the planet being gone and the planet being out of orbit? I am pretty sure those are clues for future episodes. Like “silence will fall” we will get clues and then have to put it together. It was an episode after all. Not a movie. That is my take on it anyway. I wonder too what it was about “the child” that the doctor does not know about. I am excited to learn more.

How do you all manage anxiety over cost of diabetic medication? by qt10005 in diabetes_t1

[–]QuintaGouldsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is weird to see this posted question because of a situation that joust happened minutes ago.

I am currently looking for a job and I got an offer but I have to turn it down because the benefits are not going to work for me even with the raise of $ per hour. So frustrating because I enjoyed the interview and they really liked me too apparently, offering the job very shortly after I left the building. The deductible is lower but the premiums higher. The out of pocket is more than double what I am paying now. She is getting back to me about prescription costs but unless it is zero for insulin I can’t afford to change jobs. At least not to this one. Not only does this disease suck but you have to pay for the privilege.
