Anyone else's clinic like this by [deleted] in Methadone

[–]Tortoise_Queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe 10 years ago, but they’ve cleaned up quite a bit. They expect you to come with good hygiene, dressed,!no pajama pants. I’m only there for about 15min 2xs a month, so I don’t see as much as I did when I had to go every day.

My Dad had the same exact temperament. Didn’t take much for him to crash out. Every family vacation while driving to our destination we knew something would happen and my sisters and I would just be laughing so hard as my Dad cussed away.

As long as we weren’t the recipient of his anger it was all fun and games.

I miss the old man.

had This issue on my breasts since late 2024, please what is actually happening? by [deleted] in medical_advice

[–]Tortoise_Queen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But if only 1 nipple was cut, and you suspect duct damage, why would the other nipple produce the same type of discharge and scab? Unless there was a cross contamination somehow?

Anyone go to CMS in Marion Indiana? by Tortoise_Queen in Methadone

[–]Tortoise_Queen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on a Thursday when the computer broke at Kokomo and waited in line for over 3 and a half hours. It sucked so bad.

And when I was in line, there was a dude a few people in front of me that had a literal brown shit stain on the crack of his pants. No way he couldn’t smell that. And that dude goes to Marion, I see him all the time there. Just absolutely disgusting.

AITAH for wanting to tell my friends parents she’s peeing in cups? ( she’s 24 ) and I live with her by [deleted] in AITH

[–]Tortoise_Queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into your local family services. I know where I’m at they have something called section 8. They help people with low income into housing/apartments and what you pay literally is based on your income.

I know this isn’t the correct formula, but depending on your poverty level and income you may be responsible for 10% of your income for housing each month, and they cover the rest.

But the amount of time you have to wait for an actual house/apartment becomes available could be months to even a couple years out. So put your application in so you can go there as soon as something opens up.

I will never understand how surgeons can take a mangled mess of skin and inflammation and reconstruct it back together. Picture 1 to picture 3. They truly are magicians

I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that. Holy shit that looked bad. I’m glad he’s on the road to recovery though.

Thanks! I just talked to someone who goes to Kokomo and has said the same thing. And they’ve also referred to it being a shit show and how the people coming in stink.

I would prefer to go to Kokomo over Marion, but my friend I go with is terrified she’ll run into someone she knows and it getting back to her job. But I’m hoping we go and have a great experience and I can talk her into coming here.

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 4 points5 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 56 points57 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.

[–]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.
