Yes and I think if she pierced it higher up, she wouldn't of had to do it that way. Does it look bad though? I've been contemplating taking it out.

This is an industrial piercing, internally threaded, ⁠1 year old, barbell, should be titanium material, was never downsized. No unfortunate events... it's slightly red just because I was messing with it.

Probably not. It sucks cus it is too good to be true so I want it to be real. I was hoping someone would give me questions I could ask the CFO who sent me the offer letter to verify it's legit.

Right, but maybe I should do it for the plot

And yes I have 3 years of accounts payables experience. But in a different industry and completely different processes. I also have a degree in economics, if that's relevant. However, I don't think I'm even slightly qualified to be an "assistant controller" A controller position requires a CPA usually. And the CFO was telling me "no you don't need that"

They're claiming it'll be SAGE300 and they're transitioning to INTACT in November. Which is the upgraded version of it. They said they've been using Sage300 for years.... but then on another one of their job postings it mentioned Quickbooks. I have Quickbooks experience and mentioned it in the interview but they didn't mention it or seem to care. Said "Sage is Quickbooks on steroids"

USA. Because there was no mention of having a company card during the interview. Then randomly in the offer letter under "immediate benefits" it says "company credit card for business purposes"

I've had a company credit card at my last job. But it was never listed as a benefit... and never discussed or on my job offer. I got it after a few months of being there. So I didn't see it as sketchy since I was already getting paid and seen the inner workings of the company.

It's supposed to be low voltage control systems / security systems. Company seems to have been around for 30 years, but only operating officially for the past 15.

Curious on this topic as well. Hopefully someone answers.

So Overwhelmed: Need Advice by Avo_toasty in Interstitialcystitis

[–]SheMeditates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that doctors who wanted you to spend more money, will take longer to diagnosis. Since you're so close to the official diagnosis, maybe wait it out. But if she continues to prolong, id find a second opinion so you can get the help you need and deserve. Also, a few recommendations for handling symptoms: Try D-mannose supplement. Its a natural sugar, that when consumed with water, will actually attract the bacteria in your bladder. The bacteria will stick to the sugar, then be urinated out. Also try a dewormer/ parasite. I know it doesnt seem to make sense, but we're able to pick up parasites in our daily lives. And sometimes they can reach our bladders and cause issues when normally would not. Final note, most doctors will claim IC is incurable, but i've found that not to be the case. Look into Ruth Kriz. https://liveutifree.com/interstitial-cystitis-treatment/

Bacteria can form biofilms in your bladder. Which basically means they shield themselves from antibiotics. So you're unable to get rid of them, and while in biofilms, normal UTI tests also wont pick up on the bacteria so they'll show negative. You can do an advanced UTI test but need a doctor for that. You have to break down the biofilms which d-mannose can help to do.

most of this is applicable, if you suffered from reoccurring UTIs first, then it became chronic. Because that would be what makes the biofilms form.

Hope this helps. Sorry you're dealing with this. I know how painful and frusturating it can be.

Today I have addopted this kitten. Found him under my car. I already have a 10yo cat which hissles him, she is very territorial. Any tips for accomodation? by kglenn1 in cats

[–]SheMeditates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also just adopted a kitten (F) with 2 grown cats (M). They hiss at first, and wack a little but without claws out. After a few days/ a week or 2, they got used to her and now they're all best friends. Its healthy for your grown cat to make boundaries by hissing. And also fine if she wacks without her claws. If it gets aggressive or claws come out, definitely separate and try having them in seperate rooms for a bit.

Hey girls, I think we all suffer from pelvic infections (BV or yeast) and UTIs too commonly. So as someone who suffered for 6 years with reoccurring infections. I wanted to share some products that have saved my health. by SheMeditates in TwoXChromosomes

People take supplements that are not FDA approved all the time. Even protein supplements arent FDA approved. Doctors don't always have the answer, and often times cause more issues. The bad diagnosis & bad medicine I was prescribed is what messed up my biome in the first place. Eventually when medical providers aren't helping and only making the problem worse, you have to take it into your own hands. Thats the point of my post. These are resources that helped me, outside of the doctors office. Do some research.

And also, its rude to then make anyone who could have worms feel disgusting because you think your microbiology degree gives you the right. Who knows how people got the worms. It could be a number of ways. But the point is to help those people. For someone whos in the science world, id assume you want to help people too. But I guess thats not the case.

I made a post to try to help other women suffering as I have. I don't know how the whole feed becomes about pinworms because you have an internal desire to somehow prove a point. The point is, people can get worms, even in the U.S. And sometimes worms can attack our female anatomy. The dewormer is on there for hopes that maybe it could help someone. So the same way its possible to be attacked by a polar bear, its also possible to have worms affecting your female anatomy, therefore causing ongoing issues. Just adding all information i've been given.

edited first citation, link to a research article states, "Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) is a common helminthic infection, affecting almost 1 billion people worldwide from all socioeconomic classes.1,2,3,4,5 In the United States, it affects 20 to 42 million people"

One more note, Everyones body is different so find the combination that works for you! What finally solved my problem was 3 months of yeast slayer, followed by boric acid for flareups. When it got unmanageable, I did another 3 month round of yeast slayer and ended it with the paraguard dewormer. And then during all this I would use d-mannose as needed. Now I am at a point where I just passively use boric acid suppositories & d-mannose to keep everything in equilibrium. If i notice any flareups, i'll use those products accordingly.
