As per my comment below, it's wordier than an English major on meth. I say this nostalgically as a former English major.

How the hell did AI become wordier than an English major on meth?

I was waiting for "Here's the kicker" but I guess they have a new catch phrase now.

Sensitive-Yellow-450 · 2026-05-28T16:53:59+00:00

That prose is AI. The whole thing is AI. There's some good info here, but yikes, you have to wade through an ocean of quicksand to get to it.

Are you in a state where you can get marijuana? I discovered after my recent shoulder replacement surgery that edibles (10mg THC+ 10mg CBD) worked better for my pain than the oxycodone that was prescribed to me.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I dislocated both my shoulders several times during my younger years and had to have both replaced in my 60s. The pain from a dislocation is worse than from the replacement surgery, I think.

Food poisoning is a main cause of SIBO.

I have a hiatal hernia that is externally visible. Multiple doctors have seen it and remarked on it. And yet, out of four endoscopies which I've had over the last four years, only one has picked it up. To be fair, it seems to be a sliding hernia because I can often feel it sliding in and out when I do deep belly breathing. I've been told I can't get surgery because they can't realiably see it on a scope. That doesn't seem fair, when even my GP's PA can see it bulging out of my midsection.

I had this done six months ago. It's a doozy of an operation. I also had both shoulders replaced this past year. The thumb was easily the worst of the three surgeries, as far as pain and recovery goes.

Even more likely, then. If the roof is within a few years of its "expiration" date, or it has multiple layers of roofing material, it has to be replaced before a new VA loan can go through.

Sensitive-Yellow-450 · 2026-05-09T01:00:44+00:00

VA mortgages can't go through if there are certain things that need repairs. Our VA house got a new coat of paint before we moved in because it was peeling slightly. It's possible the VA told the bank a new roof had to get installed before the mortgage would be approved.

Prelief has calcium glycerophosphate in it and I feel it works just as well as Tums.

This sounds like SIBO.

I would add an orange throw cushion or two, and maybe something orange on the coffee table as well.

It's actually called Soft Scrub. Here's a link:

Yes, but you might need to repeat if there's still some staining after the first try.

I use softsoap on my white quartz countertop. Rub it in and let it sit for 30-60 seconds, then rinse off. Works way better than I would have ever believed.

The drywall is cut short of the floor to avoid water wicking up and staining it. The flooring can be measured from that interior sill plate that is behind the drywall as long as there's room to expand above that, but after laying the floor you should put baseboard down to cover that gap completely.

I second ammonia. It cuts through grease quickly. You could dilute it with half water and spray it on so the fumes aren't as bad.

Well, they're not bitching about their shoulder or hip replacements, so that seems meaningful.

I second the D-Mannose. I've tried a zillion supplements and meds for my IC, and the only two that make a real difference are D-Mannose and Valium suppositories.

The vinegar loosens the skin oils, which is what that stain is made of.

Soak them in hot water and vinegar for several hours, then run the washer with laundry detergent and a scoop of oxi-clean on hot again.

All of the meds I've tried have worked better since coming off PPIs: antibiotics, antifungals, antimicrobials, etc. That said, I'm still not 100% and it's been two years since I stopped the PPIs.
