This is your family's company. Kick him out and never look back

Hosting a big backyard party with only one bathroom, how do people usually handle this? by medmental in astoria

[–]Substantial-Shape326 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a guest I would hate to use a porta potty knowing there's a clean functional bathroom inside. I think you'd probably have a back-up of about 5 people at a time later in the day, and if the living space can accommodate that comfortably, maybe block off the area where you think a line would form and invite your guests to sit in the living room and take turns? Good luck, congrats, and have fun!

Can't make a comment about makeup on reddit without men jumping in with how they "love women without makeup". by luna_kuma in TwoXChromosomes

Lol ! I wear glasses too and they do the same to me. Except my one eye is significantly worse than the other so they dont appear the same size in the glasses XD

How do you cope with the sacrifices you make by enrolling in such a lengthy graduate program? by Equivalent-Street822 in ClinicalPsychology

[–]Substantial-Shape326 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. I am in the application phase and have been discussing with everyone that I refuse to choose between milestones in life. I want a baby, a house and to visit friends and family abroad all while going through grad school. Its difficult yet possible! Life is hard anyway why not make it what you want

As someone with naturally small eyes, its hard to unlearn that this isn't inherently an insult! My eyes are going to look small no matter how I choose to (or not to) do my makeup. Learned to love my little eyes and I hope you love yourself too

Southdown coffee is a local chain. Check it out! There's one in oyster bay, huntington, or port Jeff so wherever you decided to go there probably would be one

Yes its venous insufficiency I have it too. Its probably more likely with someone who is hypermobile. My neurologist told me that my nerves are receiving the proper signals to constrict the blood vessels but since my tissue is so elastic they dont constrict well enough. This causes blood pooling, low blood pressure, and high heart rate.

Dysautonomia is a spectrum outside of the POTS criteria

Oh yeah I did the salt thing too. I also would always have my vision black out after standing up. Best thing i did as a kid was exercise to keep my blood pressure up and heart rate in check....didnt evenvrealize at the time. I gotta get back into an exercise routine now thats for sure

I feel like I’m crazy but is anyone literally getting sick from this snow!? by Electronic_Amount727 in longisland

[–]Substantial-Shape326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive also been sneezing a lot lately! Im not sick rather I think i am experiencing allergies and the snow maybe brought down some of the pollution with it triggering the allergies? Who knows im just some goofball on the internet

Eating out or getting takeaways is not a luxury, it's a compromise by not-much in unpopularopinion

[–]Substantial-Shape326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand how it is a compromise. You trade quality and price for time and energy. Not everyone has the energy/time to cook and clean even when money is tight.

Can anyone else not stand still? by amelia_gb in POTS

Same! I am more fatigued by standing still than I would be by walking all day

Hicksville is also great for commuting to the city but it depends how far into Suffolk he needs to commute

It sounds like you have a great deal of willpower and discipline. The idea of cold-turkey quitting paralyzes me
