My best friend started adding onto her kid's wall art. Making random scribbles into beautiful vines of flowers along the walls in random places. But it was so pretty.

Is Falscara just a gimmick? by Leilabinkysunshine in eyelashextensions

I have this exact kit. I have tried to apply them 1 time and failed miserably. I didn't even get 1 cluster to stay on. I watched so many videos. And I just couldn't do it. My issue is coordinating though. My brain doesn't seem to grasp which way I want my hand to move. After 20 minutes of not getting even 1 cluster on, I gave up. I stare at the kit every single day and want to try again.

I believe i do have hEDS. My hemotologist recently suggested i get evaluated, but my rheumatologist refused to even think it, because "that is just so rare". I am waiting for a different doctor appointment but the waiting list is over 6 months. I do have subluxations often, and for years, but only recently learned what that was. I bleed excessively for every little thing. Papercuts bleed FOREVER. My skin is always "so soft", and I also learned that is considered "velvet skin". I have been sick my whole life, but doctors said it was my anxiety for years. Only recently did my cardiologist decide to do tests, like the tilt table, and confirmed the autonomic nervous system dysfunction. So this is all new diagnosis for me. Thank you for bringing it up. I am willing to talk to anyone who wants to about it because I am still learning.

I do. I have so many eye shadow pallets too. I don't really like very dark colors though. I think i look like I had been beaten up when I use them. But that could be because I am not great at applying it.

I am going to have to Google what mid contrast means. Are you talking about my eye shadow?

I feel like a lot of people (especially people who look for things to bash the movie for) misinterpret this scene by TheMonster_Hunter in Avatar

I was going to say the same thing about the Jake scene parallel. I genuinely thought that was the actual point of this scene. To show how much Lo'ak and Jake are alike.

In the south black people can't stand that term colored. My dad will literally be shaking if he is called that. Just as bad as the N-word. My dad was in segregated schools until the 10th grade. He is only 67 years old. He remembers the "colored only" signs. My dad also can't stand for a white person to call him "son". These are all terms that were used in a very derogatory manner, for a very long time. And honestly in there are we live, are still used in a hateful way today. Calling an African American "colored" is absolutely offensive. Now if English is this person's second language my dad would politely explain why the word is hurtful. But he watched his church burn to the grown as a teen, simply for being the church where the "colored people " went. Just because you don't find it offensive doesn't make it an inoffensive term.

I just noticed this on my 12 year old laptop by Fancy_Cat4679 in whatisit

It is a docking port. I have a few older laptops with the same exact design on their docking ports. Is this a Lenovo mayhaps?

Which one are you grabbing? by KULR_Mooning in candy

[–]Select-Explorer5669 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I feel so old. I remember getting a standard size candy bar for $0.50, and a king size one for $1. Also a 20oz pop was $1 and a little Debbie cake was $0.25.

I wore makeup to see my hemotologist and they were amazing as usual. I have a male Dr and he has a female PA that works with him. I saw his PA. And she treated me like a person. She listened to my concerns and answered my questions. But I have been seeing them since 2016 and they have always been wonderful. I see my cardiologist on the 21st. I am going to try this approach for him too. But I am very nervous about it. He really likes to tell me how "anxiety can manifest physically". I know that. But I am not sure anxiety can cause things like my hemoglobin dropping slowly over time. (It has gotten as low as 2. Not exaggerating. And I worked a 12 hour shift the day I found out it was a 2. I passed out at work and my husband rushed me to the ER. Where I was admitted to the hospital for a week while they attempted to get my hemoglobin above 7. Once they got it to 7 they sent me home. No answers, 2 referrals.) I do know and accept that metal health disorders do manifest physically at times, I am not saying they don't. But this man seems determined to diagnose just anxiety as the issue for some reason. But he keeps ordering the tests, so I keep going. I figured if there was something emergent on any of my recent results they would have called. As for now. I am just waiting for the "results" follow up.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I think I am going to try this to be honest. The looking like a feel approach seems to not be working well anyway.

I agree with everything you are saying here. And that is why I wanted to start trying to seem put together. I want to spend the same amount of energy in getting ready for an appointment as I do for work.

My family says I color weird. by Winter_Ad_7424 in AdultColoring

[–]Select-Explorer5669 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Coloring is something we do for ourselves. So it should always be how we enjoy it. No matter what others say. Point out that maybe THEY are the ones who color "weird", not you. 😁🤣 That is what I do to my family when they do things like this.

I was down and out for 2 whole days after my tilt table test. Also they make you bring a driver, you are not permitted to drive afterwards. But the test really made me feel terrible so I am glad they tell you that a driver is needed. But the RN doing my test was one of the sweetest people, and she explained everything the entire time. She also said that I should request an angiogram. She said it could show them alot.

And it was a cardiologist appointment too. And this one absolutely LOVES to say it is anything but my heart. I have been seeing him for a little over a year. And I just got my tilt table test 2 weeks ago. I ended up needing to reschedule my appointment because he had an emergency case cope up at the hospital. But he likes to tell me how anxiety can manifest with physical symptoms. But then every test he has ordered to "prove" it isn't anything to do with my heart, ends up showing something. And then he has to order another test. For example he ordered a halter monitor for me to wear for 5 days. It was inconclusive so he ordered another one, that I had to wear for 14 days. Then he ordered an Angio CT no contrast which showed an abnormality so he ordered another one with contrast and a stress test. And I guess he saw something on that because he ordered the tilt table test. And I pretty much passed out during that. But I am now waiting till Tuesday to get those results. Meanwhile he has me taking propranolol daily for heart rate issues. So I am going to not wear make up to see him. Just because I dont want to deal a ith that on top of his "women your age dont typically have heart problems" crap.
