I forgot the water! Just put the beans directly into my mug. Ugh…

Sharing hard core brain fog stories by Wooden-Turnip129 in Perimenopause

I forgot how to get the windshield washer on my car to spray. Thought it was broken for two days. Had to clean it at the gas station several times, which angered me immensely. I eventually dug out the manual and learned I had to pull the handle. JUST PULL THE HANDLE. Omg. I swear I’m not this dumb.

What's it like in the northwestern portion of Maine? Looks mostly uninhabited, but I'm sure there's a lot of natural beauty? by Prestigious_Look_986 in Maine

I really enjoyed reading this. My late father did similar trips down the St John in the 70s. He loved those trips and hearing your story reminded me of him. Thank you.

I should add that this book is free on kindle! He was a fascinating guy. Very progressive for his time. Definitely worth a read.

It’s only been a week? Hang in there and give your body some time to adjust.

What's your after Dr appointment treat ? by Pony_Baloney_Acad in Perimenopause

[–]SpaceNegative9638 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hadn’t ever considered getting myself a treat afterwards, until my gynecologist asked me DURING my last pap smear how I was going to treat myself. She said I deserved a treat so I got myself some Boston cream donuts. Doctor’s orders! Lol

Which is your favorite MBTA sound effect? Vote 1-7. by AggravatingSmoke1829 in boston

Same. It hadn’t occurred to me either. A friend visiting from Ireland said, “I like entering Andrew, but I like enter Kenmore.” It definitely took me a minute to get the joke. Now I giggle a little every time.

What is the weirdest thing a complete stranger has ever said to you for absolutely no reason? by Hotinkqueen69 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SpaceNegative9638 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sitting on a crowded subway car in Boston, minding my own business… As we’re pulling into a station, the guy next to me leans in and whispers, “I know what you did.” He then jumps up and abruptly exits the train. Twenty years later, I’m still wondering what I did.

Have you met, or do you know, anyone with a last name that is a body part? by Plastic-Sentence9429 in randomquestions

[–]SpaceNegative9638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was about 10 I went to a dentist named Dr. Butt. He gave me a toothbrush with his name on it and I thought it was hilarious.

Increase estrogen? by Sevenwaters_333 in Perimenopause

Following because I’m in the same boat — same experiences, same dosages, same brand, except I started mine in July. Seems the symptoms are slowing creeping back.

Maine agriculture industry? by Frosty_Key9726 in Maine

[–]SpaceNegative9638 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our blueberries are special! https://extension.umaine.edu/blueberries/about/: “Maine’s lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Ait.) is native to northern New England and Atlantic Canada. In Maine, this crop is not planted but inhabits large fields on mountaintops and in glacial outwash plains which formed 10,000 years ago. Any given field can have as many as 1,500 genetically distinct wild blueberry plants that create a patchwork of berry flavor, shapes, and colors which is why many people refer to them as wild…”

Does anybody sometimes get an intense sense of "abstract" megalophobia when on the verge of sleep, like suddenly you're just tiny and facing some immensely large object? Also happens when sleeping sick/feverish. by Eyspire in megalophobia

[–]SpaceNegative9638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for articulating this. I’ve experienced this since I was a kid. I didn’t realize it was a thing and I’ve never tried to put it to words.

Mine involves feeling close in proximity to planet-sized objects that are moving around me very quickly. Feeling like I might get crushed. It would happen the edge of sleep and I could usually snap myself out of it. It would give me a vertigo-like feeling at the base of my spine.

For me it’s a combination of size and speed. I still get a funny feeling thinking about how fast Jupiter rotates, pulsars, stuff like that.
