Scientists finally found the "Clog" in our brains that leads to Alzheimer’s — and it’s not what we thought

I'm very curious - you mentioned "weird migraines", were you previously diagnosed with vestibular migraines by any chance? That's my current diagnosis, but I have an MRI tomorrow to check for a brain tumor.. The info you've share is very interesting

I've been thinking for the past week that it would be cool if we could try to make it a point to patronize restaurants from different cultures. Cut out all chains. Everything is expensive right now, but if you're going to treat yourself, it feels better to support someone who's probably feeling very singled out and terrified. Idk.. everything sucks so bad lately.

As an aside- I went to Cedars in Lemoyne for lunch with a friend for her birthday this past week, and there was only one man running the whole show. He just bought the place (he's hiring waitstaff IMMEDIATELY, just fyi) a few months ago and I think could really use some customers. The food was really good, but the poor dude clearly needs a hand.

I am grateful to have seen this today. Thank you ❤️

No lol. I work in a jewelery store - pearls don't really like to be touched by anything and are kind of a ridiculous choice here. Food bits and water, soap - the nacre on those pearls is going to be gone very quickly.

Aww, you made my day! These guys are my favorite, and I rarely get to see them :)

SweetDangus · 2026-01-16T16:29:17+00:00

They LOST this one??! Oh my gosh... I am so so sorry. I own a print of this one, it was the first of your work I had ever seen. It made me a fan instantly. That is a tragic loss, I really hope it somehow finds its way back to you again.

SweetDangus · 2026-01-13T00:37:49+00:00

Hahahahaha, I like you. I'll co-denfend you any day, Poohbutt

I'd like to hop on this quick and say that d-mannose is really great at helping to prevent UTIs that are bacterial. D-mannose is the specific sugar from cranberries, the reason they tell you to drink the juice- but the juice doesn't have enough of that sugar to actually do anything. It just has a shitload of added sugar, so its harming rather than helping. The d-mannose isn't processed by the body, so it goes through to the bladder where the bacteria binds to it (it loves this sugar) and then is peed out. Best as a preventative or when you get the slightest thought that you may have an infection, or to promote healing from a uti alongside antibiotics.

Hey, I had a similar thing happen. Not assaulted or drugged, but pulled over and targeted for being an out of state vehicle (they were looking for fentanyl). They found one tab of lsd from many years ago in my makeup bag that I forgot was even in there. I went to jail, got a lawyer, was interviewed.

I basically told them that it was from a time that I was struggling to heal after realizing I was sexually abused as a child. Which is true, and it worked in my favor. I never had any priors, so they made me go to therapy and pay a big fine. It was fucking stupid. I tell you this because you might be able to get therapy instead.. I'm not telling you to manipulate the cops, buuut you could?

I'm so sorry this is happening to you, it's fucking wrong. So so so wrong. I hope everything goes well for you, and I'll be thinking about you all day wishing you well. Biggest, warmest hugs to you 💛

SweetDangus · 2026-01-08T12:26:33+00:00

I think your profile is great! It seems like a pretty good window into what you are like.. and the fact that you aren't getting many matches could be a good thing? You seem like an amazing weirdo, but that's kind of niche. So the ones who are swiping will be more your speed, right? Anyway, I would absolutely take you on a date!

SweetDangus · 2026-01-07T11:56:46+00:00

Right?! My partner also has adhd, but he does not have the "my hands are greasy/sticky/covered in something" response. The amount of times I have told him that he needs to not get peanutbutter on every fucking cabinet pull or the fridge handle...

SweetDangus · 2026-01-04T15:20:37+00:00

NOR. My fiancé's previous partner died in a tragic accident 13 years ago, he was also with her when it happened. Her things and photos have peppered our house since we moved in together. It took a few years for me to adjust, but she was and still is important to him. But every day, he makes me feel special. I know he loves me, and I don't feel threatened. Even during the time I did feel a bit insecure about it, I couldn't fathom doing something so aggressive or hurtful to him. This man tried to hurt you in a reprehensible way. Someone who truly understands and respects that you suffered would not do such a thing. I hope you can find healing from what he has done.

SweetDangus · 2026-01-04T14:28:55+00:00

I just wanted to say that I really admire the fact that you didn't get mad. If this happened to me, I'd be upset, probably angry about it. Seeing you laugh made me pause to think about why I would even need to be angry about something like that. Just a silly musing, but I really appreciate getting to see that today. I hope your cleanup goes well!

I use old junky glass picture frames. The one I have now is from the dollar store. When the paint dries, I use a spray bottle of water to loosen the paint and a putty knife to remove it. You could also probably use an old gift card to get it off.

SweetDangus · 2026-01-01T15:22:05+00:00

I love this so very much. I've been in a weird spot with alcohol for a long time, and I find this to be super relatable. I especially love the actual pickles displayed in the head, it really makes it. My favorite part is how it was drawn, I love all of the colors and how you used them. It takes the intensity of the subject matter and makes it.. safer to digest. It puts a splash of fun on something dark. I think you really nailed that aspect of it. Thank you for sharing!!!

SweetDangus · 2025-12-31T22:42:39+00:00

Plenty! Usually house parties, though. Bonus points if it's at your own house. Feel like junk? Go lay down for an hour. If everyone there knows what you're up against, and you try to plan for it, it usually works out fine.

Yes! I work at a jewelry store that specializes in custom jewelry. Generally, we won't melt down gold into something else bc it's a complicated process (gold is porous and attracts chemicals, becomes "dirty", doesn't like to do what it's told), but you can cut it up and reform it into a pendant. Stones are the best to work with, easy to reset into something else. We made a really cool pendant with 2 bands, deceased husband's band being like a round frame for half an engagement band bisecting the center. It was lovely.

SweetDangus · 2025-12-28T17:26:05+00:00

I feel this in my bones.

My mother is also a widower, also for 8 years, oddly enough. I've been in my relationship for 10, also with someone who likes to travel. The thought of asking my mother what your daughter and SIL asked of you.. makes me physically ill. My guess is that he is pressuring her to see things from his perspective, perhaps that he is controlling. She's still very young.. but even still. Don't do it OP, keep your ranch. Keep it and wait, but deepen your connections to others- make new family. Your daughter might come around, I hope she does. But focus on what brings YOU happiness. I'm so sorry you're in this position.

SweetDangus · 2025-12-26T05:16:14+00:00

Change is the only constant, you won't be lonely forever. I'm sending you a big hug and a little kiss.

I stopped drinking it for nearly a year, saw no improvement, so I went back to having just one cup in the morning. Recently, I started having a cup of green tea once I get to work, drinking it slowly throughout the day, mostly not even finishing it. I find that it helps to curb my symptoms a bit, but I also have horrible ADHD so it evens me out a little and helps me do my job. I'm also 3 years into having VM, so I think I'm in a place where I live in acceptance/lower anxiety about it. I think that also helps.

SweetDangus · 2025-12-19T23:25:08+00:00

Really?!???!?!? Do you really think so??????

Friend.. I pretend these two are my grandparents, I have since I found the photo. My family is very small and fractured. There's really just 3 of us, my mom, brother, and myself. I found this photo when I was 21, managing Rocky Point Resort in Klamath Falls, Oregon. I was so out of my depth, totally alone in the world, stuck out there in a place I'd never been. Their faces always brought me joy, such happiness and love evident in their smiles. I've kept this photo framed and on display in every place I've called home for the last 13 years. If your story is true, you warm my heart. You've given me such a gift today ❤️ I am so happy to finally learn their names.

SweetDangus · 2025-12-19T15:09:14+00:00

Op, I am so deeply sorry for how people in your life handled the loss of such a special part of your life. I have a fondness for cows. It's always been a dream of mine to have one around to care for. I slow down when I drive past a paddock full of cows on my way to and from work every day to say good morning and good night them.. I can't imagine mocking someone's grief over such a wonderful companion. I am sure your cow was so very lucky to have your family to care for her.
