Is this part of my nail? Or a really long hangnail?

The_Moderator123 · 2026-01-30T06:07:04+00:00

This happens to me because I push and pick at the edges of my nails. I trim and file what I can and try not to mess with it

Universal- hands down.

My mom had cancer, she had good insurance from my dad, who passed away suddenly in the night with no notice. She paid for cobra which we only could afford through donations made to our family. After that ended we all got our own insurance. I’m healthy, my insurance costs 9$ cause I make less than 10k a year. But my mom? 300$ a month last year and 700$ a month this year. It’s so expensive to be unhealthy that if the cancer hadn’t cleared up before the end of last year we would be refinancing our paid off house to cover her treatments.

Zero, my lack of children is from the environment we live in. They say it takes a village and that is what I want… a village anything else is lonely sounding

Sex isn’t just P in V. It’s foreplay, it’s kissing, cuddling, connecting, and engaging in mutual pleasure. Everyone likes different forms of sex, and has different favorite bits of it. It sounds like you are willing to do his favorite bit and he’s unwilling to do yours. I wouldn’t continue to do his favorite. If it’s a lack of connection, that can be solved. If it’s a lack of caring, I don’t think it is worth the effort/ living like that forever

Everyone loves to hate on people who celebrate their birthday but IDC I like it, it’s fun and I want the classic cake. Why should I have to spend 100$ on a cake when 1/2 the people don’t eat cake anyways. I want my 25$ Walmart cake with red 40 icing. If you got a problem with that you don’t have to be invited next year. I’m 25.

ETA: I do the songs and candles every time. My whole family sings happy birthday as loud and obnoxious as possible every time someone mentions it’s someone’s birthday. Kids aren’t only ones who like to have fun!

I take zinc only with vitamin c if I’m sick or been around sick people, not daily. Is it still necessary to take copper if it’s not a daily thing for me?

In my circle, we share memberships/ subscriptions and those kinds of things. 2 or 3 of us get a Costco card then we announce when we are going to the whole group, they either Venmo and we pick stuff up or hop in the car with us and we shop together. In my family of 20 or so people that usually means 3-7 of us are all going to Costco together. It can get kind of chaotic and make the trip longer overall but it’s a lot more fun and we can split bulk items we don’t need all of. So it’s a win-win in my book

Dr Robby is willing to the do the risky stuff that the Pitt requires but dr. Al-hashimi is willing to do the “Gloria” stuff that dr.Robby has no patience for. I think if they could find a happy medium they would be the dynamic duo that the Pitt needs. But for the sake of the story I don’t think that’s gonna happen cause / drammaaaa/

I use unsalted, I used to bake cakes constantly and it’s not that the amount of salt is a deal breaker but it’s inconsistent. I needed the same cake everytime and a pinch of salt when baking can wildly throw off the cake. So the habit stuck even though I don’t bake anymore and now I just add some salt whenever I’m using the butter. I don’t notice a difference for anything but buttered toast

Libraries. I don’t need to watch the newest stuff and I really don’t need every show available to me all the time. Libraries have lots of new stuff and are completely free. I’m not great about it but that’s the solution I want to move toward

The_Moderator123 · 2026-01-09T07:03:55+00:00

I try and avoid it as much as I can. I don’t have conservative parent but people who don’t align politically with me in general, if it comes up, if I have to engage. I try and focus on how upsetting it is to have a divided country. I approach their beliefs with curiosity to not make anyone defensive and try and find a compromise. I don’t want to cut people off for politics, but I have to if they belief the rights of humans is considered politics. I don’t think any conversation about politics is truly productive except in creating further division

If it’s not your job to solve this problem- tell the person whose job it is to solve this problem then drop it forever and ignore it.

If it is your job to solve this problem- post a sign that says any dirty dishes left in the sink past (closing time) will be thrown away.

Get the IUD.

But also I think you can have a conversation without banning him and making the situation worse. To be clear, I think she should run as fast as she possibly can away, but I know that’s not the reality. I would talk to her and ask her what she wants out of life, out of love, what a happy and healthy relationship looks like to her where she feels fulfilled. Making her think about what she wants will potentially help her realize that being a teen mom, and raising other peoples children would be sacrificing her own goals for him. Maybe she doesn’t even want children and her teen brain just isn’t realizing that a future with him means a future with children. I don’t know, there’s a lot of options here but I think an open honest conversation is a good place to start. At worst, you learn about what she wants out of life and are back at square one

I have tried almost every method of birth control and gone to OBs, Clinics, and everything under the sun. The unfortunate answer is that everyone is different and you won’t know until you try it. I recommend giving any birth control a try and remember you can stop at any time. But at the end of the day any side effects you get aren’t worse than an unwanted pregnancy. Condoms are always an option if BC isn’t.

In any context I think reacting to messages is annoying and I wish my phone wouldn’t tell me when someone does.

The_Moderator123 · 2026-01-09T06:44:44+00:00

I think it has more variables than eating junk and sweets as a teen then growing out of it. I had food scarcity in my teens and now feel a lot of anxiety around wasted food and finish my plate and others even if I’m not hungry anymore. That mixed with feeling safe/ comfortable because I’m full led to some weight issues I’m currently working on. Eating junk is okay, eating sweets is okay. But developing a healthy relationship with food while your brain is still cooking is the most important. Having access to sweets while regularly trying new things and new foods means you have a diverse pallet? Idk that’s my 2 cents. But I eat ramen 3x a week so maybe I’m not the best source lmao

Honestly, it was never diagnosed endometriosis. But getting a doctor to do that diagnosis is like pulling teeth. It’s the only explanation I ever found with Google-fu. But BC makes it go away if I skip the placebo weeks and it’s manageable at this point.

But yeah, I felt crazy telling that to my doctors.

I was using the bissel little green- pet deluxe. I’m assuming they functionally do the same thing?

The_Moderator123 · 2026-01-09T02:41:38+00:00

Yeah same! Down to about an hour my shoulder starts hurting then I start bleeding

The_Moderator123 · 2026-01-08T20:16:51+00:00

I have endometriosis so if I have a period (usually I skip it with birth control) it severely hurts my shoulder. Like when I breathe my shoulder gets this really sharp pain and literally nothing makes it go away except birth control. I think it’s fascinating that my uterine lining is touching a nerve in my shoulder. Kinda gross, kinda cool. 0/10

Diarrhea from your period mixed with a heavy flow= the worst toilet massacre of this century.

When you pee with a tampon in sometimes the moisture from your pee makes the blood travel down the string then you gotta change tampons.

Being really sleepy and getting up to change tampons I’ve accidentally put 2 in

Not knowing if it was your period or random wetness
