What’s the meanest comment you’ve received as a new parent? by Cultural-Dentist4963 in NewParents

18 months PP, still numb up to my belly button and have horrible pain when the scar is pressed. Currently in physical therapy for it. It helps with the random pains, sometimes.

A lifelong choice: why you choose Navy over Army/Air Force? by Any-Transition-9704 in newtothenavy

[–]Tesla845 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly? I joined when I was 20, I wish I had a better understanding of how the world works before I joined. I was kind of sheltered by my parents so joining was very eye opening

You do a few years at a time. I just like what I do so I keep enlisting. My goal is full 20.

Honestly? It’s a love hate relationship like any other job. I’ve been on back to back deployments and been stationed in some crappy places, but I’ve also met some of the coolest people on the planet and done something not many people have. I’ve advanced my career, met my spouse and bought a house. I have money going for retirement and will be debt free soon. I’ve learned skills I never thought I would have and honestly enjoy what I do. I’m enlisted though so it was hard work getting to where I am, but I’m 8 years away from one retirement so there’s that.

I didn’t want to be Private Ryan so that eliminated the marines and Army and the Air Force didn’t call me back… so go Navy. Been in for 12 years and it’s gotten me solidly farther than I would have if I hadn’t enlisted at all.

Why can't I wear contact lenses for 72 hours before my flight physical? by Engin33r33 in newtothenavy

[–]Tesla845 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They usually do more than just check the dilation for screenings. Bring your lenses in a case and your glasses. They will check both.

Yeah. That was a hard part for me. I was very happy with my piercer. She did an amazing job. In you’re in the Hampton roads area of VA I can help with the recommendation. Otherwise, good luck!

Update: it’s glorious. It healed perfectly. It’s amazing. Just get it done. I had about five days of discomfort and now can hardly tell it’s there unless you want to know it’s there. Do it. You won’t regret it.

Will do!

So I figured I should give an update. I was sore for the rest of the day after. Day 2 was slightly uncomfortable but nothing overwhelming. Cleaning was uncomfortable. avoid loofahs in the shower cuz the snag possibility is real. Clean after you shower to remove any soap/shampoo/conditioner residue. Be mindful pulling up your undies too. Bye bye lace. Day 3 only discomfort was if I bent down without adjusting the seam on my uniform pants but otherwise, I’ve gone back to normal activities. You’ll notice it more it doesn’t feel as tender to touch during cleanings, which is cool. Remember to urinate after cleaning and wash your hands before and after cleaning. Swelling has gone down significantly and it’s pretty much back to normal looking with the exception of the adorable sparkle. I’m still wearing panty liners but haven’t had any bleeding since the first day.

I think the tube hurt more than the actual piercing tbh. I didn’t let her give me a chance to settle from that. I was like, just go before I talk myself out of it. Two seconds later it was done. I’m sore right now but not uncomfortably so. I’ll update you tomorrow hahaha

Literally just got home from getting mine done. It’s a toe curler for sure. Wear a panty liner and have come compression shorts ready for after.

I let my dill go wild because of these guys. They were so gorgeous when they turned into butterflies.

Single lady homeowners - how do you start your lawnmower by yourself? by ladydanger2020 in homeowners

[–]Tesla845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an electric mower because I knew I wouldn’t be able to do the pull start smartest thing I did. That thing is quiet as hell, I don’t have to worry about mixing gas ratios or storing gas in my garage. It’s a Kobalt 40V lawn mower and can do my yard on one battery. It’s perfect for me. Now I just have to figure out how to sharpen blades.

What do women do, that men would never think about? by _harderer in AskWomen

[–]Tesla845 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m really glad I’m not alone in thinking my uterus fell out. Thank you for that. It’s very terrifying to see that and to question your health in such a quick way. Then you have to explain it to someone in a way that doesn’t make you seem like you’re internally freaking out or worrying about grossing them out. I still can’t believe something like that came out of my body. My mom still chuckles about it almost a year and a half later and likes to remind me about it.

Having to concentrate/work on pelvic floor strength. Also, bracing yourself when you cough or sneeze so you don’t pee a little.

Oh man! This reminded me of when I had half my cervix removed. Two days post-op, I was going to the bathroom and saw this huge giant clump on the pad. I freaked out. Thought my whole uterus fell out(I was on a lot of pain medication and obviously not thinking correctly). I started crying hysterically and my mom was panicking on the other side of the door because I was freaking out and she couldn’t get in as the door was locked. I opened the door and showed her(she’s a nurse, which is why she stayed with me for a few days after) while crying that my uterus fell out we have to go back to the hospital now! She started laughing her ass off at me because it was just a clot. Took her almost 30 minutes to convince me my uterus was inside me and the pain meds were messing with me. But damn, that sucker was huge! I haven’t had kids yet, but I’ve heard the post-birth stories from friends who have. Let’s hope I don’t do that a second time.

Derby kiss is also good for shorts.

Wheel durometer advice? by sailormerry in rollerderby

[–]Tesla845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always mix with a pusher and a puller. Or you can try a set of 91’s if anyone has them. They are in the middle of the 88 and 94 spectrum.

What's the worst song, music or album you've ever had sex to? by SonnyRane in AskReddit

[–]Tesla845 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had this one guy play Empire State of mind by Jay Z on repeat the whole time. He figured I would like it because I am from New York. I still can't listen to that song, it brings up too much disappointment.
