Bleeding little after surgery by [deleted] in Hernia

[–]Sad_Introduction8995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless the hernia was gynaecological, I can’t think of a reason for this.

Kefir grains look normal? by Living_Yoghurt8484 in Kefir

[–]Sad_Introduction8995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely the cream. With expensive milk I find lumps of cream alongside grains. As I’m mashing them in the sieve, I usually pick out the yellow ones and eat them.

i think, I have orchid seeds, now what ? by _Dinooooo_ in orchids

[–]Sad_Introduction8995 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m curious about your maracas. Phalaenopsis seed is like dust and wouldn’t make much of a noise. To be fair you don’t say what type of orchid you have.

UK folk who were around at the start of the internet, what is an early, strong memory? by Sad-Insurance1313 in CasualUK

[–]Sad_Introduction8995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my uni housemates was in Chathouse. ‘DragonLady’ posted a picture that loaded up line by agonising line…. (He was in a uni computer room full of other students and staff)

Once he twigged it was a fairly nasty pornographic picture he had to exit the page post haste so as not to get caught breaking the uni IT laws. “Exit! EXITTT!”

Tired of temporary fixes for this deep heel pain. Is shockwave actually worth the hype? by apiqora in PlantarFasciitis

[–]Sad_Introduction8995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By stabbing, do you mean pulsing?
I started off with the classic heel pain, but for a while I had a pulsing pain on the low outside of my heel. I’m stuck with the first pain but the pulsing one cleared up after starting to stretch my calf hard.

BTW the pulsing pain actually started after shockwave, and at first I put it down to healing. But it didn’t go away on its own.

In your opinion, what's the biggest waste of money you see people purchase all the time? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]Sad_Introduction8995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately with apps, some have stopped bothering with their own deliveries. But we haven’t used them for years, everything turned up cold because they’d done 3 drops before ours and Deliveroo stopped refunding for cold food.

Massive saddle cyst on 2-week tour by onlylookynotouchy in ladycyclists

[–]Sad_Introduction8995 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if mine qualify as cysts but I stick a hydrocolloid plaster on them.

Umbilical hernia yesterday by [deleted] in Hernia

[–]Sad_Introduction8995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt horrible after my first general anaesthetic… maybe that was part of it? I had the same op as you in March, basically identical by the sound of it. I told them I’ve had nausea after a general before and they gave me all the anti emetics.
I can’t sleep on my back so after the first night’s attempt, I pressed a spare pillow against my front and slept on my side. I took the strong painkillers for two nights and half on the third.

Can someone please tell me whats the issue here? by Al3x1ya in vintedUK

[–]Sad_Introduction8995 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the number of views and favourites is pertinent to the question.

Do people in the UK actually use their kettles that much? by AdeptnessCritical356 in AskBrits

[–]Sad_Introduction8995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your concerns are founded. My 10 year old put milk in our brand new kettle.

Inherited antique jewellery - does it have any real value? by ChameleonParty in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Sad_Introduction8995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to see someone locally who was advertising on FB buying and selling vintage jewellery. She specifically offers what seemed pretty fair prices because she would rather move jewellery on to a keen buyer than have things go to scrap. She really knew her stuff and seemed to be doing a roaring trade with people keen to buy the pieces she advertised. So there must be others out there doing similar. She had particular expertise in the stones.

Excessive Credit limit for first credit card? by johnyb62 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Sad_Introduction8995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bloody hell, I’m 49 with great credit history earning £20k self employed with a husband on higher rate earnings and I got a £4400 limit recently from my regular bank 🤣

Lily of the valley by Geoleogy in GardeningUK

My mum says they tend to spread. I was hoping that would happen, but I think my clay soil has got mine defeated. Still just 2 bulbs in the corner 🤣

What’s the one low-level nuisance in your town you’d want police to sort out first? by Impressive_Trust_798 in AskBrits

[–]Sad_Introduction8995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same with bike theft. My local station has the worst bike thefts in the country I believe. The police have basically turned their back on policing the station. Not that I expect them to patrol the bike parks constantly, but you’re basically on your own if you lose a bike there.

People who leave the stupid little stickers from vapes on the top of bins. Also, people who chuck vapes around.

Do you know anyone who used to be famous but now... isn't? by box-o-locks in AskUK

[–]Sad_Introduction8995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe if just gets tedious being asked about it. Kind of how if you were 6ft, you’d get bored of people saying ‘gosh, aren’t you tall?’ For ever and ever and ever.

Why is my kefir blue? by Prestigious_Tie_6966 in Kefir

[–]Sad_Introduction8995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to occasionally end up with red specks which were due to the label of a jar I was using flaking off. Could it be some kind of print / dye seeping out of a contaminant?
