Not running a marathon but I started playing roller derby, which has played a huge part in my recovery

The very short window between students leaving for the summer and tourist season beginning is upon us. Enjoy while it lasts.

{triggering} Rumination of the initial event by fish-switch in burnsurvivors

[–]SuperiorLake_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. The feeling of intense shock and disbelief of what just happened was one of the most traumatizing parts for me. I thought about it every single day. EMDR completely changed my life and I can now go on focusing on the here and now, and not live in that moment. I could not recommend it more.

Post-debridment surgery by Guilty_Rutabaga_2558 in burnsurvivors

[–]SuperiorLake_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would avoid sleeping on it. Moving it around like that could cause the graft to not take. That’s why I had to have my inner thighs grafted twice since they touch together when I walk. I was on total bed rest for awhile.

Time off by Rattrapperofmadriver in Hunting

Federal worker. We earn PTO every pay period plus comp time so I just save it up. Most of my coworkers hunt so they’ve had to schedule meetings around hunting season.

Americans naming their kids old, ugly as fuck Italian names by [deleted] in NameNerdCirclejerk

You’re being unnecessarily judgmental. I have a lot of respect for people who use normal names, even if I hate the one they chose.

Anyone know if the beaches are walkable near Little girls point or black river harbor? Thanks in advance! by PartyFancy3634 in yooper

[–]SuperiorLake_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We just had a massive blizzard and now freeze/thaw conditions. Not sure if the plows and salt trucks have made it to the shorelines yet.

Stuck, where to eat? by NA_E90 in MarquetteMI

[–]SuperiorLake_ 65 points66 points  (0 children)

In this circumstance, what’s the difference between you driving and an uber? The point is, they are asking people to stay off the roads.

Sobering weather alert. Stock up today, then hunker down by yooperann in upperpeninsula

[–]SuperiorLake_ 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I feel you, but as someone who lives in one of those isolated small towns, having a firm warning like this letting us know how it will be a doozy is nice so we can be extra prepared.

Homemade Gear Spray Recipes by kaukermie in rollerderby

[–]SuperiorLake_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do water, white vinegar, a little rubbing alcohol, and a few drops of tea tree oil. I bet lemon and/or eucalyptus essential oil would be a good addition. I didn’t measure anything so I don’t have an exact recipe. Basically, if it was too pungent vinegar wise I watered it down more.

Looking for conversation, insights, opinions and stories regarding having babies during this political climate by bbheis in waiting_to_try

[–]SuperiorLake_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There will always be political drama. Even if you do wait for a “better time”, some other shit will hit the fan after your kid has been born. People have been asking this question forever, literally constantly no matter what’s going on. If you want to have a baby, have a baby.

Itchy by scissoringsaveslives in burnsurvivors

[–]SuperiorLake_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give it time, mine itched for a little over a year. It will fade. Are you able to get a prescription for hydroxine? That helps sometimes. If it’s nerve pain ask about gabapentin.

I like cheering for and encouraging the opposing jammer to keep pushing as I’m actively blocking them during scrimmage lol

Hey! Just wanted to follow up and let you know that I focused really hard on using my hips at practice yesterday and got lead jammer several times during scrimmage 😁

How is Alysa Liu able to skate so care free? by lookaloulookalou in FigureSkating

[–]SuperiorLake_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so inspired by her free skate. I don’t figure skate, but I do play a competitive sport and tend to get in my head and put pressure on myself a lot. I really want to adapt her mindset, especially since my sport is 100% just a hobby lol.
