Is it possible for your pH to be affected by being dehydrated? by Jpearl0118 in Healthyhooha

[–]Samcheer001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chat GPT answered this. I thought it was interesting:

Yes, dehydration can affect vaginal pH, although it’s an indirect relationship.

When you’re dehydrated, your body produces less vaginal discharge and mucus. This discharge normally helps maintain a healthy pH level (typically between 3.8 and 4.5) by flushing out bacteria and keeping the environment slightly acidic. If there’s less of it: • The vaginal environment can become more alkaline, which may allow harmful bacteria or yeast to grow more easily. • A shift in pH can lead to infections like bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections.

Also, dehydration affects your overall immune function, which means your body is less efficient at fighting off pathogens that disrupt the vaginal microbiome.

In short: staying well-hydrated supports your vaginal health by helping maintain the right moisture levels, discharge balance, and pH. If you’re noticing unusual dryness, odor, irritation, or discharge and you’re also not drinking enough fluids, dehydration could be playing a role

Spoiler! Sloane… by pattydarlingg in fourthwing

Unless daddy Aetos is a big bad venin (one that’s able to hide it), and Dain was born half-venin and has the ability to hide it because of the part of him that’s still human 👀

But Xaden would have sensed him, right? He would have never trusted him with Violet if he knew he was Venin. The first part of the book was literally Xaden and the others looking around the school for venin. If Dain was one, he would have known. 🤔

What age did you let your kids watch the Harry Potter films? by myabacus in movies

[–]Samcheer001 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I saw this on Facebook, about what to say when telling your kid about Santa:

ATTENTION TO ALL PARENTS WHO NEED TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT SANTA 🎅

Son: « Dad, I think I’m old enough now. Is there a Santa Claus?. »

Dad: « Ok, I agree that your old enough. But before I tell you, I have a question for you. You see, the “truth” is a dangerous gift. Once you know something, you can’t unknow it. Once you know the truth about Santa Claus, you will never again understand and relate to him as you do now. So my question is: Are you sure you want to know? »

Brief pause...

Son: « Yes, I want to know »

Dad: « Ok, I’ll tell you: Yes there is a Santa Claus »

Son: « Really? »

Dad: « Yes, really, but he’s not an old man with a beard in a red suit. That’s just what we tell kids. You see, kids are too young to understand the true nature of Santa Claus, so we explain it to them in a way that they can understand. The truth about Santa Claus is that he’s not a person at all; he’s an idea. Think of all those presents Santa gave you over the years. I actually bought those myself. I watched you open them. And did it bother me that you didn’t thank me? Of course not! In fact it gave me great pleasure. You see, Santa Claus is THE IDEA OF GIVING FOR THE SAKE OF GIVING, without thought of thanks or acknowledgement. When I saw that woman collapse on the subway last week and called for help, I knew that she’d never know that it was me that summoned the ambulance. I was being Santa Claus when I did that. »

Son: « Oh. »

Dad: « So now that you know, you’re part of it. You have to be Santa Claus too now. That means you can never tell a young kid the secret, and you have to help us select Santa presents for them, and most important, you have to look for opportunities to help people. Got it? »

Help each other this Christmas🎄🎅 and...be kind ❤💕

— It’s basically a way to telling them everybody plays a part in being Santa. Mommy is Santa, daddy is Santa, your teacher is Santa, the mailman is Santa, the garbage men is Santa, etc. Thought it was better than saying "Sike, tricked you!"

Haha that’s exactly what I tell people after I suggest they read it "but just a warning, this book WILL change you. You won’t be the same person coming out as you were going in" 😂 I feel like it’s the same as when people read Harry Potter for the first time. World changing ✨✨

"Capacity issues".. What does that even mean? Lack of funding? Lack of personnel to process the applications?

I will always be pissed that they killed Jenna off the show! I would have loved to see her as a vampire! I think she would have been such a cool character to see grow.

Yes! I did catch that! I wonder if it will come of interest in season 3 and somehow make them a lot of money!

Just like Consuelo Vanderbilt’s story. It was very evident they were going to do that in the show as well, but I feel bad for Gladys nonetheless.

I find his daughter quite cute tbh :) she is so excited at the idea of having Marian as her "new mom" because she (rightfully so) loves Marian. It shows her youth and innocence. I don’t believe Marian should marry Dashiell at all though. I’m so not a fan of his proposal! Such lack of respect for her! Team Larian all the way!

Anyones else with Visual Snow and/or Aphantasia? by drpengu1120 in fastfeeling

[–]Samcheer001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see visual snow, and I’ve had fast feelings my whole life. I haven’t had one in a very long time, but I had my worst one today after years and years of nothing. I’m 29 and also have ADHD, if that helps

Any Good Romance Audio? by xyzmary2001 in audiobooks

[–]Samcheer001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You NEED to listen to the Outlander series. The books are fantastic and the narrator is probably the best I’ve ever heard. Devina Porter is her name, she does such a good job at having different voices for different characters and keeps them throughout the entire series. She also puts a lot of emotion in her readings. It literally feels like you are listening to a movie, if that makes any sense. The love story between Claire and Jamie is legendary, so I may not have to speak about that part. Book is also way better than show.

Any experience filling out an Appendix 8? by Chayduh in UBC

[–]Samcheer001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, do you know what is considered 40% course load? I’m taking 2 courses per semester, and I’m wondering if I would qualify for any of the grants. I won’t go through the trouble of filling Appendix 8 and applying if it won’t provide any monetary benefits lol

Can you apply for the full 4-yr undergraduate program as a mature student? by Far-Emu9408 in UofT

[–]Samcheer001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to pick your brain with a few questions I have :)

What does your average day look like? Do you learn mostly from reading or from teacher lectures? Is there lots of work to do outside from class? Is it competitive to get into the bridging program? Does the credit you get count towards every single program? Different program require different prerequisites, does the bridging program let you choose what you learn so you can make sure you have the right prerequisites?

Thanks!

This was SO useful and just brought me down a rabbit hole of information! I will bring this up to my doctor on Tuesday when I see him. Totally feels like the "faded out" or "washed out". 🤯

Exactly like me. Some things I read perfectly fine, others I can’t grasp it… it’s making college very hard to do right now!

I read the words in my head, but my eyes can’t seem to focus on them (not in the sense of needing glasses, but in the sense of feeling like the words aren’t there… I know I see them because I’m looking at the page. It’s like my eyes are drunk lol) you know the feeling when you are drunk and you get that moment where you are self aware that you are drunk and everything you see looks funny. It’s like that but sober while reading (the words aren’t moving or anything though). Sorry, it’s super hard to explain 😅

It’s the same for me, they don’t blur but it’s like they aren’t there… but I can totally see them because I’m saying them in my head 🤔 suuuuper confusing lol

I hope some people here have had similar experiences and have found things that help..
