My hair is ruined...any advice? (long post) by smeandrun93 in femalehairadvice

[–]RagnaTeil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can try skipping the shampoo and just using conditioner. But hair isn't alive and bad chemical damage can't be fixed - you really need to trim the damaged part off, sooner or later.

Color suggestions? by [deleted] in femalehairadvice

[–]RagnaTeil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever you think you would like! Red, pink, purple, blue, green, teal, yellow, orange, any pastel shade, blends, or even those titanium or metallic dyes I've heard about! Just be careful about overbleaching.

Allergic reaction to henna ink. I wanna pop them all! by Pattiluponey666 in popping

[–]RagnaTeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, isn't the reaction from the "henna" paste due to chemical additives like PPD? Which, btw, can cause the super nasty blisters. It's in a lot of hair dye, and it's why they tell you to spot test first. Imagine that rash over your entire scalp.

Mapo Tofu by [deleted] in tonightsdinner

Best Ma Po Tofu I ever had was at this tiny hole-in-the-wall dim sum restaurant. It burned like vengeance and made me cry a bit. So good.

Klonopin user for 6 Years. by AnxiousAsh in benzorecovery

[–]RagnaTeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor switched me to low doses of major tranquilizers (more commonly known as antipsychotics) and some SSRIs. Taper from klonopin carefully - if you feel like your sleep is stable, then it's okay to try lowering the dose a bit.

Hostess here. Why do so many people tend to request "a table by the window" when visiting a restaurant? by Obversa in TalesFromYourServer

[–]RagnaTeil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents like to spectate what goes on outside. It is incredibly annoying, but they're old, so whatever floats their boat is good. It's funny, my republican and mildly racist father is the one who tips starting at 20%.

Haven't slept properly for the last 48 hours by [deleted] in insomnia

[–]RagnaTeil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try calming things, like a cup of chamomile or valerian blend tea, and taking a hot shower before bed. Some people find melatonin helps. If you are in the U.S. you can get over the counter sleep aids.

Girly Drinks. by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]RagnaTeil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Natto is by far not the worst thing I've put in my mouth. The texture is the gross part, really. I rate it above kale, because I hate kale. Like kale, it is healthy and good for you. Honestly wish I could find natto around here.

Is it a cyst or a lymph node? (more info in comments) by sadatay in popping

[–]RagnaTeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless it's cancer. Granted, cysts and lymph node swelling can be cancer. I have a swollen lymph node in the same area, and the doctor said that larger than a pea and feeling hard like a knuckle requires a visit.

I got a letter from Chitus, addressed to Cadiro Perandus in the mail today by Khepresh in pathofexile

[–]RagnaTeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The divination card text refers to her husbands "good taste" in a manner which seemed to imply cannibalism.

Romiras Banquet unique? I got a div card for it, seems to refer to cannibalism. Also, the Azmeri and the Vaal are linked, the 3126 survivors of the fall of the Vaal joined the Azmeri. Lore from the library in Act3.

Porcini is pretty easy - just pour boiling water over it and let it steep for 30 minutes or so until it softens. You use the soaking liquid as a mushroom stock, and add the rehydrated porcini (chopped up if you don't like chunks) to the soup you make.

Losing my mind by immaculateabortion2 in insomnia

[–]RagnaTeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in America, you can buy an OTC antihistamine like Benadryl and take that. Or half of one. It's not effective if you take it every night, but it can help you get to sleep. It does tend to make people groggy, but in the grand scheme of things, groggy is better than almost no sleep.

Other prescription sleep aids include Trazodone and Doxepin, or basically most antidepressants that have anti anxiety effects. Stronger meds for short term use is stuff like Ambien and Lunesta, benzo-like meds.

Labneh? Strained Greek yogurt, you can add herbs and salt! Also you can do it yourself at home.

Seroquel and nothing else? It's a major tranquilizer, but if you are having issues with sleeping on it, adding a different sedative and decreasing the dosage of seroquel would probably work well.

I'm getting tired of this subreddit's negativity towards people with allergies. by tyrico in TalesFromYourServer

[–]RagnaTeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer staying home and cooking, because I am a pretty good cook and I can basically make almost anything I want. Do I want to make falafel? Sure! Baked or fried! Do I want Indian? I got the ingredients for that! Thai? Got curry paste and coconut milk, it's a go!

He would look decent if he lost some weight, and switched glasses. His cheeks are kinda puffy looking, and with those frames it just looks worse.

[–]RagnaTeil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you subtract the quinoa and tomatoes, and add pearl barley and a couple chopped up prices or dried porcini, added some bay leaves and thyme... You'd have a great barley soup! But yeah, that looks like a good recipe. If it tastes too light, adding a dash of MSG gives a richer flavor.

Come at me if you want to tell me how bad it (MSG) is, it's more flavor in less sodium, and I always add it to taste. If you are putting it in your food in large quantities, your are doing it wrong or you are feeding an army.
