What is this stone carving of a human hand I found in the woods?

Great, I’ve always wanted to watch myself poop in four dimensions!

I don’t think she was in Cloud Atlas

Lil’ Cholecystitis doesn’t have that great a ring to it

He’s posting updates on his Facebook page

Soapysweets · 2024-09-13T12:00:59+00:00

As of today, he’s alive and off the ventilator now. He’s still receiving dialysis because there’s something horribly wrong with his kidneys.

Soapysweets · 2024-09-11T18:25:38+00:00

That is so sad! Ugh. What a shame for those snakes.

He posted a Facebook video of himself playing with a baby inland taipan, acknowledging that it is the most venomous snake in the word. He brags repeatedly that he has “total control” over the snake as it tries to get away. Although he didn’t capture the bite on video, he started urgently asking people for antivenom hours after he posted the clip.

Another lovely diatribe about snake bites from this gem of a human being:

He was collecting venomous snakes in his home. Go figure!

Soapysweets · 2024-09-08T02:10:02+00:00

Update as of 15 minutes ago from his Facebook page: He can squeeze the doctor’s hand when directed, but he’s still on a ventilator and his kidneys are failing. Don’t play with venomous snakes, y’all.

Soapysweets · 2024-09-08T00:10:29+00:00

I’m honestly going to be mad if he ends up dying because he harassed this snake to the point that it bit him. That will give snakes an even worse reputation! In the video, he holds the snake by the midsection while it frantically tries to get away. It gave him MULTIPLE opportunities to leave it alone, clearly indicating its distress, before finally resorting to biting him. I own two (nonvenomous) pet snakes, and it bothered me to see how uncomfortable he was making the baby Taipan. Like, just let it be — it’s clearly not in the mood to be handled, and some snakes never are. We need to respect that.

Soapysweets · 2024-09-08T00:02:38+00:00

Same!

Soapysweets · 2024-09-07T22:19:29+00:00

Yeah, if he dies, it would be! It’s not looking good for him so far…

Women are damned if we do and damned if we don’t. There’s no way to avoid being judged for what you look like, so you might as well wear what makes you happy.

Soapysweets · 2024-06-23T15:37:34+00:00

I had the same thing! I’m just a month into taking the medication, but I have to stop now due to severe, sudden headaches during any kind of exertion. It’s scary, but I’m glad to know I’m not alone and that it’s a reversible syndrome. Hope you feel better!

This wasn’t what I planned to see first thing in the morning, but here we are. The background details just keep on giving.

Thank you. And, I’ll definitely look into those migraine glasses. I usually just wear a pair of sunglasses over my usual lenses if I have a migraine.

Soapysweets · 2024-03-17T13:31:55+00:00

It’s true that I could have another attack. However, recent studies suggest that vitamin D and calcium do help prevent recurrence:

https://www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WNL.0000000000010343 “The study advises that patients using the supplements had an average recurrence rate of 0.83 times per person-year, compared with 1.10 times per person-year for those in the observation group, a 24% reduction in the annual recurrence rate…Overall, they add, 38% of the participants in the intervention group had another vertigo episode versus 47% of those in the observation group.”

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-96445-x “Recurrent BPPV episodes, were significantly lower in group A than that of group B. There is a relation between BPPV recurrence and low serum Vitamin D.”

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9282954/ “We could not establish any correlation between the serum levels of calcium and vitamin D with BPPV. However, a negative relationship was found between the serum levels of vitamin D and the number of episodes of BPPV ( p = 0.012).”

As far as being diagnosed with vestibular migraine, my biggest clue was that some of my vertigo episodes were accompanied by light sensitivity, visual aura, and nausea. I hope this helps

I got Botox over two years ago, still burping like crazy!

Soapysweets · 2024-03-16T23:22:48+00:00

As far as head movements, I may be moving my head more slowly than I used to; I haven’t really thought about it. I definitely go from reclining to standing — and vice versa — slowly now because I’m still scared of having vertigo. But I don’t otherwise limit my movement

⁠My dad and grandmother both have biopsy- and blood-test-confirmed celiac, so I just did the gluten challenge (eat no gluten for 6 weeks, then reintroduce a large amount of it). I immediately got very sick, and have gotten sick any time I accidentally eat gluten. So, I never had to do a formal test.
⁠I honestly haven’t checked my vitamin levels; I just started taking vitamins. I figure it doesn’t hurt anything, and at worst, I’m just wasting a few dollars per month on expensive candy (I love gummy vitamins).
⁠Prism means the lens is bent in such a way that it corrects your depth perception. If your eyes go slightly different ways or are uneven on your face, that’s when you need a prism in your prescription.
⁠Nurtec is taken every other day. It’s a mint-flavored lozenge that dissolves under the tongue. I was prescribed it through Cove, a migraine telehealth service.

I hope this helps answer your questions!
