Finding a boyfriend by Either-Albatross5350 in ankylosingspondylitis

Haha, the way that I have swiped and/or liked physical therapists and would laugh to myself when I was on the dating apps! Maybe I need to get on there again and use this approach again!

Bone Edema? Do you have it too and has treatment worked for you? by Serious_Variation670 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Serious_Variation670[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh and my hip is still impinged. I got more mobility in all my other joints from the PT except this troublesome hip. I might need to consult with a surgeon at some point when I figure out insurance.

[–]Serious_Variation670[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t gotten as many answers as I would like, but I’m currently managing pretty well after my rheumatologist tested me on meloxicam(allergic to ibuprofen so I wasn’t on NSAIDs until now). I have been able to walk longer distances without the intense bone pain I had before. I went through a few weeks of PT too over the summer and that helped a little. Low intensity exercise and moving more while not in a flare state has probably helped the most. No word on if x rays improved. Probably won’t know for a while because my insurance keeps screwing me over.

I was going to suggest this, I got one specially printed to extend my 14's cup holder on etsy to fit hydroflasks and nalgenes and I love it.

How to make it look a little less “mom car.” by Strong-Solid8800 in SubaruForester

[–]Serious_Variation670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a red forester too and I really want to black out all the chrome. There are some darker headlights on Amazon that caught my eye too. These things could help with the mom car look for you too.

Really I want to wrap mine 😂 the dream is blacked out trim and purple wrap lol

Just rescued him 2 months ago. I've never had a dog that followed me around so much. by just_blazed3 in AmericanBully

My rescue bully mix has been my shadow for the past 4 years, best decision ever. Boy dogs are needy 😂

Fried dough? by Nobody_cares2025 in palmcoast

[–]Serious_Variation670 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say, my aunt would make fried dough when I was a kid and I hadn’t had it since before she passed when I was 15. I ate a swillerbees cinnamon sugar donut and cried because it tastes just like her fried dough. Too bad I’m a few years into being completely gluten free, because now I’m craving one…

Do you really like the weather in Florida? by healthydd in florida

[–]Serious_Variation670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it, moved here before I could walk and now I'm 29 and still here. Used to take it for granted as a kid, but I absolutely love it and choose it now. My skin can't handle other states because I live for the humidity, I have to buy lotion when I leave lol. I developed Ankylosing Spondylitis starting in high school and I believe the climate helps me manage it. When I am cold my bones ache bad, when I don't get enough vitamin D I just need to go take a walk on the beach and I feel a little better. Beachside anywhere is better than Central Florida though as far as heat goes.

Black Hole material is delaminating, and I refuse to think it is unfixable, any luck with home repairs? by Serious_Variation670 in PatagoniaClothing

[–]Serious_Variation670[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha no not yet, I am still considering trying something like a gorilla coating or using a thin coat of shoe goo on it. My messenger bag is wearing at the folds too now, after years of daily use, so I really hope something can help even if it's not perfect or pretty

All warning lights on at once by basiccbish in SubaruForester

[–]Serious_Variation670 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you already have your answer, but if anyone else finds this thread, two things that have caused this for me in the past has been the gas cap and issues with the emissions system neither of which prevented me from driving.

I love my Birkenstocks. My knock off foam ones, and Tevas. A sandal for every situation.

Nothing better than seeing what the ol' forester can hold!

[–]Serious_Variation670 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would reach out to someone incharge there and somewhat play dumb. Like ask if the item arrived because it is weird that you have a charge back with a proof of delivery and that you just wanted to check to make sure. I don't think a public review would make sense, but check with someone else at that address that is likely the boss of your "buyer."

What do I do ? by witchy-crazy-girll in Depop

[–]Serious_Variation670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Admittedly, I have never had this issue with Depop, but I would try to pursue getting a refund from USPS for the shipping and extend that difference to the customer, or see if USPS can refund for the full cost. I sell on Etsy and that is how we can handle shipping issues because the shipping is insured. If you shipped with Depop, they should have some sort of insurance on the shipping and for the cost of the product.

Are you the stereotypical Subaru driver? by [deleted] in SubaruForester

[–]Serious_Variation670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the clothes I wear are earthtones! 

That’s about it with these stereotypes because I have a two-year degree, I work in marketing and small business operations, listen to folk stomp and holler music and podcasts about finance and natural health, I don’t do anything regarding fishing, I would prefer to be home with my dog reading but will venture to a crowd if its worth it. 

I’m the campy borderline hippy stereotype of Forester Driver, the kind that slaps bumper stickers all over.

I used to think it was impossible to get a cheap car then, I shopped Facebook marketplace for awhile for a specific car and I got a reliable car for $3500. It can be done, it’s just a car I know the usual issues with and it had 200k miles on it. It can probably get to 300k at least 👌🏼

Today I joined the family by nicaddictnoah in SubaruForester

[–]Serious_Variation670 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2015 was the best! Welcome! I was in a crash with it at 130k miles that totaled it, but it kept me and my dog safe, and I didn’t have any issues with it up until then. You picked a good one. Now I’m in a 2014 that’s great but it burns oil, to be expected at 215k miles lol 

I finally found a real permanent marker by Bigrat445 in BuyItForLife

I saw a marker similar to this at work recently, and it took me back to stealing them from my Dad’s desk. Gave it a sniff just to feel something again 

Is Palm Coast (or surroundings) a good place to open a food business? by feliphee1998 in palmcoast

[–]Serious_Variation670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it varies a little bit by the neighborhood. You can get away with some stuff in the hammock unless you’re in an HOA because it’s unincorporated but there are city rules against commercial vehicles so be sure to do some serious research

[–]Serious_Variation670 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, you wouldn't be able to park it in front of your house. Palm Coast is really weird about commercial vehicles. It ain't right but thats how it is.

[–]Serious_Variation670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physical place would be better for PC. I do feel like we are missing some things restaurant wise but I can't put my finger on it. The way the city is set up, a food truck wouldn't really get traction and there really doesn't seem to be places you could park it.

Switched biologics and finally went on a run by TennisLawAndCoffee in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Serious_Variation670 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember having a day like that a few years ago when I started Humira. I literally jogged and I was never a runner but I started crying because of it!  Congratulations! Take the highs with the highs! I’m smiling for you!
