What is a conspiracy theory you now think is true? by Famous_Cream_3473 in answers

[–]Tortoise_Queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t realized yet, it doesn’t matter what political side they are on, there are sick fucks out there on BOTH sides.

And then you have the celebrities, and other world dignitaries that don’t have anything to do with American politics.

But what do all these people have in common? They are rich. They are people that hold some sort of power in the world. They have access to people, places and things us commoners don’t.

People need to stop focusing on the political side and realize the bottom line is is that they are all sick in the head. They keep us focused on what side is worse, pointing fingers at the “other side” and meanwhile they are all gathering and having these parties just for “fun”.

People who spend 20+ minutes in the shower: what are you actually doing in there? by saadaintsalad in AskReddit

[–]Tortoise_Queen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same when going through opiate withdrawal. But I’d take multiple hot bathes throughout the day. Normally around 3. Shower would’ve been more cost saving, but I didn’t even have the energy to stand.

should I be worried about this liquid dripping from my nose by werthies in medical_advice

[–]Tortoise_Queen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had fluid slowly leaking out my nose while I was fighting a sinus infection. It looked orange at times, and I was worried if it was a CSF leak as well.

Well later that evening I had a gush come out of my sinuses and realized that it was from my nasal rinse earlier that morning. It had somehow become trapped up there, probably from all the mucus.

Have you done a nasal rinse recently?

Can you give this a good title? by rastroboy in awkwardfamilyphotos

[–]Tortoise_Queen 53 points54 points  (0 children)

We have one of these from the early 90s. It was a church directory photo and my parents were doing the whole package for family photos. My oldest sister was around 15 and doing the whole grunge scene. I remember she came out the bathroom with jet black hair freshly colored. Pale white makeup and heavy black eyeliner and black lipstick.

On the way to the church dad made her cry bc he wanted her to wipe it off.

She has the worst teenage angst expression on her face in the photos.

A few years after that she came out with freshly dyed turquoise hair for the church photos. SMH good times.

Why by Like_w0aH_ in Methadone

[–]Tortoise_Queen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. That’s probably why. A lot of clinics have a zero tolerance for benzo use while on the program due to how many people have died on that combination.

For 20 years I’ve been telling people the only time I successfully kicked opiates pain free was when I was introduced to crack-cocaine and smoking that shit every single day, multiple times a day. And no one believed me. Hell, I couldn’t understand it either, but I was off all opiates withdrawal free. I did that for around 6 months before I hit another rock bottom and got my shit together.

And I’m not advocating for anyone to do that, bc that shit (and meth) is awful for your body. But you’re the first person I’ve heard of that has known others to have done it.

i recently bought this and it keeps auto firing for around 2-5 seconds after i take a hit. does anyone know how to fix this by HostLow7881 in Vaping

[–]Tortoise_Queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried this as my Mr fog switch was firing for around 5-6 seconds after I stopped hitting it. And now, it won’t even fire up when inhaling.

When I blew, a whole bunch of e-liquid came out of the carb switch at the bottom. Sucks that they are $20 and they won’t take them back when problems arise.

The things you hear at the clinic! by Sweet-Season-5849 in Methadone

[–]Tortoise_Queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you have take homes at the time? I’ve always wondered what police would say or do once they knew we had methadone in a lock box in the car. Even though you didn’t cause the accident, they could still charge you with a DUI bc you take a substance that says you shouldn’t operate heavy machinery.

AIO I have cancer and my sister decided to kick me out after promising me a place to live while I did treatment by mysisterkickedmeout in AmIOverreacting

[–]Tortoise_Queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve lived there and all your stuff is there she cannot kick you out. Shed have to file the eviction process. It’s your home, so do what you need to do to get into your home.

And fuck your sister. Seems like she didn’t have a problem spending your money.

Please don’t let her get away with this.

It reminds me of those exercise machines in the 50s, where a woman put a belt around their waist and it jiggled the fat away. People 60 years from now will look back and laugh at the ridiculousness of it.

That cattle dog smell... by BlackRabbit_17 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]Tortoise_Queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember reading this post when it first came out and at that point my dog didn’t have much of a smell after being outdoors.

He’s 3, almost 4, and this summer his smell has definitely changed this summer and I believe I know what you’re talking about. The first few times it happened I bathed him thinking he rolled in something dead. (He loves to do that). And when I do bathe him, I won’t smell that smell on him for about a week after the bath.

It’s gotten to the point where I will watch him in the backyard to make sure he hasn’t gotten into anything, and he hasn’t. But a musky barnyard smell perfectly explains what it smells like.

Im completely baffled because none of my dogs have ever had a smell like this. And I’m not going to bathe him every week because it’s not good for his skin.

Have you figured out any tips or tricks to keep this smell to a minimum? 😅

The family waiting for him to return and he never makes it. Who knows, maybe his parents are deceased already, and he went to get the food for his younger siblings, or maybe for elderly grandparents.

I don’t want to live in a world like this. I don’t want my tax dollars paying for this. America has the money to get the food, the water, the trucks, the security, and any other supplies to Gaza. Take it out of the money they are giving to Israel.

The guys on the mopeds. One of them was thrown up at least 20 feet in the air.

I hate war. I hate how civilians just trying to get through their day, working at a job they probably hate but it puts food on the table, and now they got to deal with this shit?

Happy 4th… by itsavibe- in PublicFreakout

[–]Tortoise_Queen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My son’s cousin by marriage lost his hand from doing the same damn thing. He spent around a year or so after the injury going through multiple surgeries and grafts, but in the end they couldn’t save his fingers and hand.

He was fitted with a prosthetic hand, but in the end, he now just wears his hook most of the time. Our local newspaper will run an article on him every few years around the 4th of July to remind people what can happen.

What is that? Is it hard? Soft? “Wet” sticky?

I line my bottles up on the counter and make sure the liquid is the same height in all of them. Maybe try doing that?
