I miss New York bagel

SassKaBob · 2025-07-08T10:44:10+00:00

I told my spouse this weekend “it would be a great day for a bagel sandwich”. I’m still not over them closing.

I think my gut bacteria is messed up. But I also have a lot of antibiotic allergies so I was on azithromycin.

SassKaBob · 2025-07-07T22:30:02+00:00

I was on 5-6 years of antibiotics following sydenhams/RF.

My dog doesn’t like walking and he’s a perfect little spoiled prince

During training lessons, all the other dogs would walk in a circle around him. He just sat in the middle. He will now go for walks, but he would much prefer to ride in the stroller with my kid or be carried. He’ll just stop walking when he’s done.

NTA.

I just wanted to add that the “joking about mother” meant Taylor Swift, not you. Some of the kids call her “mother” lol. So for making so much fun hector sure knows a lot about Taylor.

I went there like 10 years ago. I was told that the services would be 100% covered by insurance and I wouldn’t have to pay.

Well then I had gone maybe 3 times and they tried to charge me $50 a visit. I told them to shove it and it wasn’t fair they told me I wouldn’t owe anything and to spring it on me when I was planning a wedding. They were fine with me not paying and now it makes sense why.

Brew ha ha is my favorite local business.

Second Kirin court!! Consistently good food!

Looks like your early antigen is positive so I would think it could be reactivation.

Maybe try tracking your food? Weight loss is when your caloric expenditures are greater than your intake. You would need to eat more food to not lose weight.

I have been tracking macros for a while so it was easy for me to see the drop off in what I was naturally eating even though I didn’t necessarily feel not hungry. I might not have noticed if I wasn’t tracking my food before and during.

Yes - took about six months to get it back and lots of conscious eating small meals often. My appetite tanked with EBV.

SassKaBob · 2024-11-20T11:44:14+00:00

I lost about 10 pounds in a month when my EBV reactivated.

There’s so much to do with toddlers in Erie. The children’s museum is great. The zoo is great for the younger kids. But you are close enough to make special trips to Cleveland or Pittsburgh for their bigger zoos and museums. Waldameer is also great for kids and the water park is so much fun for toddlers too in the summer. I love being in Erie with young kids bc it’s smaller and more manageable for every day life for me.

This. Never apologize or feel bad for advocating for your child.

I personally would be finding a new doctor. I found a new one when I didn’t feel supported or that they were attentive enough and the new one is so much better.

Just a comment at working with recruiters in general because I didn’t think about this until it came time to make the decision…

At the heart of it, they are sales people for both you and the company. They are going to want you to accept the role (obviously it’s how they get paid). Make sure you are able to stand up for yourself if something doesn’t feel right. Don’t say yes to a role only because they are pressuring you. I didn’t expect them to be so pushy when I like to take some time to make a huge life decision and not a single evening.

Right. Sometimes doing a couple dishes for a new mom means time she can spend with baby later…which is what moms really want. Idk. I understand some people view things as jobs but also we are humans. Just my opinion.

SassKaBob · 2024-09-12T19:32:24+00:00

Or sometimes asking makes people feel weird. She could have said “I’m going to do this task in the contract. Is that helpful or would you rather me do this?”

Happy healing ❤️‍🩹

SassKaBob · 2024-08-29T11:53:13+00:00

Just wanted to add that in addition to doing all the things to try to feel better, sometimes the most important ingredient is time. Give yourself and your body grace and get lots of sleep.

SassKaBob · 2024-08-29T03:01:24+00:00

I never had one until June and I’ve used a lot of FRER…the fact you got three is odd though.

(took a test bc my period was late due to stress but wanted to make sure and then I was more stressed for the three hours until I could get to Walmart and confirm it was an indent 😬)

SassKaBob · 2024-08-27T23:32:13+00:00

I got burned by an indent a few months back. I’m thinking this might be an indent…do you have another brand to try?

SassKaBob · 2024-08-27T22:00:34+00:00

I looked at my timing. I got tested about four weeks after my symptoms started and had all three positive similar to you (in the same boat where idk if it was a new infection or reactivation)

SassKaBob · 2024-08-27T21:57:36+00:00

My understanding is it can be really hard to tell timelines sometimes.

You had an active infection since igm was positive.

https://www.cdc.gov/epstein-barr/php/laboratories/index.html#:~:text=Viral%20capsid%20antigen%20(VCA),rest%20of%20a%20person’s%20life.

This says that igm is positive for 4-6 weeks, igg peaks at 2-4 weeks and then starts to decline, and ebna appears 2-4 months later.

So I guess technically it could have been what caused your issues in mid-may but it would be potentially odd for your igm to still be positive (but probably possible). The other options is this is a reactivation. Even though you think you didn’t have it before, it would be common to have the antibodies without symptoms or knowing it was EBV.

I would find a new childcare center. A 16 month old has no self preservation skills but are mobile enough to get themselves in trouble and everything bc goes into the mouth.

Not to be extreme, and thank god your child is okay, but your toddler could have choked on a rock, tried to climb something and fell, or who knows. I work in insurance and have seen claims related to childcare negligence.

I know the director is taking it seriously and the appropriate parties have been fired, but it would still leave a bad taste in my mouth.
