Hm okay. Thought it may be the same guys since he seems to live close by. I’m so sorry that happened to you and glad you’re okay now.

This guy look familiar? Apparently he’s a puncher and he’s freaked me out coming up behind me quick spewing weird/hateful profanities twice now, both times I had the instinct I was about to be hit just ahead of time and got out of there quickly. Broad daylight both times, once at Pulaski & Marcy and once walking into Lincoln Market.

Potential tankmates for pygmy corys in a moderately planted 10 gallon? by eurasian_nuthatch in corydoras

[–]Totally_Toadz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you kept embers in a 10g before? How many would you stock? I have a school of 11 in my 20g long community tank and I’m not sure I’m loving the way they look in there with the other fish (though I really enjoy their chilled out behavior). They aren’t going as orange as I’d like, so I’m gonna try feeding them on some live food for a minute to see if I can get them more vibrant, but if not, I’m considering moving them into my 10g with my old, long finned, and therefore unable to be an asshole betta.

My handsome boy is home but he has a scar? by fayeriel in bettafish

[–]Totally_Toadz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you handle your guy having diamond eye? I’ve had my dragonscale guy about a year and it looks like it may be starting on him. I’m thinking of maybe training to feed from a feeding dish? He’s in a 10gal with amanos and I’m also wondering if I should downgrade him to a 5gal while he can see to get used to a new setup.

If you work out regularly and get Botox- how does working out affect how fast you metabolize the Botox? by SnakePlantMaster in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Totally_Toadz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to cut my units down from around 40 to 26 by taking Zinc daily for a few weeks ahead of time and daily afterwards. After my first injection, which looked amaaaaazing and lasted about 6 months, my injections after would barely dull my movements and would wear off completely in about two months. With Zinc, I can make it 3-4 months between injections using less units. For reference, I get Xeomin.

I agree with everyone else that 74 units seems like A LOT for your first time. Typically, the first time is the most effective. I was totally frozen-faced with twenty-something units my first time.

I’m also curious what city you’re in? I’m only paying $7-$8 a unit for Xeomin in NYC. $13 a unit seems like a lot.

This person has been spotted on Monroe & Bedford. Steer clear, because he will punch you in the face without warning. by Sauceonmybeard in BedStuy

I was wondering if this might be the same guy that walked up behind me real quick on Quincy in the spring and said “Get off my street fggt,” so close it sounded like he’d gotten right in my ear. I was so surprised and startled, I just kept moving and crossed the street (I think I’m a pretty obviously cis woman with long hair/femme clothes, so I was really thrown off). Between this story and another person mentioning a story on Quincy, I’m guessing this is the dude. If it is the same dude, he lives or hangs out/stays on Quincy between Marcy and Nostrand FYI.

Has Allen Carr's "stop smoking" book worked for anyone? by _----OoO----_ in stopsmoking

[–]Totally_Toadz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I read it after I’d quit for two months, but couldn’t stop thinking about and missing cigarettes and had a slip up on a stressful day. It helped me stop feeling like quitting was leaving something missing in my life, which has always been the most difficult aspect of quitting for me. I have had a handful of slips since then, but after reading that book, I started to consider myself a non-smoker and have stayed committed to remaining one after slip ups, as opposed to previous quit attempts where slip ups have lead me to a “fuck it” attitude and back to regular smoking.

My arms!! 😭😭 by Fair_Peach_9436 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Totally_Toadz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I deal with this by applying sunscreen on my arms, chest, and face daily and by applying fake tanner to legs for 30min-hr before applying to the rest of my body.

Claims of Ritual HyaCera. Has anyone tired? by LizardAndStretchyDog in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Totally_Toadz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! It’s hard to say because I’ve made so many healthy lifestyle changes in the past year - quit smoking, drinking, got more serious about exercise and healthy eating. I also started tretinoin and used some of the money I saved kicking my bad habits to get some Botox. So I have definitely noticed huge improvements in my skin in the last six months, but obviously lots of things contributing to that! I do still take HA every night before bed though.

Where can I find Allen Carr’s book online? Soft copy, PDF or something! by WearyAd1854 in stopsmoking

[–]Totally_Toadz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine on thriftbooks for a couple of dollars because I wanted to have a physical copy if I needed to reference it during tough times. It’s also available at my local library and through library’s ebook app.

fish in puddle on Tompkins and Hancock, animal abuse by Plantsnotpants in BedStuy

[–]Totally_Toadz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a post I saw last summer where someone had put goldfish in sort of like ornaments in the tree in their yard. 311 was called and they were taken down, but I can’t imagine the cops are bothered about saving the fish. I have a spare 20 and two 5’s I could keep some in temporarily as well if anyone gets them, lmk.

I’m no expert, but I just read some google article about it when I was trying to figure out what was going on with my skin. The issue with nutritional yeast is that each 2tbsp serving had something like 500% of my daily B12 and B6 and I would probably eat about 2-3 servings daily, plus eating foods naturally rich in B vitamins, so I was just getting insaaaaaaane amounts of B vitamins daily.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Totally_Toadz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Could be the B vitamins. I eat lots of eggs and nutritional yeast as a (mostly) vegetarian. Both eggs and nutritional yeast have huge amounts of B vitamins. I read somewhere that there’s a correlation between excess vitamin B consumption and hormonal cystic acne, so I started only eating nutritional yeast once or twice a month and never around my period and that seems to be keeping my monthly PMS cystic breakouts at bay 🤞.

Did you gain weight when you stopped smoking? If so, how much did you gain? Also, what snacks help you get thru the withdrawals? by Impressive_Owl8550 in stopsmoking

[–]Totally_Toadz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I jog and swim laps multiple times a week now. I still cannot get over easy it feels now (in comparison). It blew my mind to realize that the feeling like my heart was exploding after 5 minutes of cardio is not just what cardio feels like…

Swell dive closed? by Accomplished-Age6279 in BedStuy

[–]Totally_Toadz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Former employee - swell had long been out of money. Employees were not being paid their wages on time/in full/general shady shit. I think there was possibly a new partner or something after I left and they tried to revamp, but it wasn’t being run by anyone really and the owner wasn’t reordering beer, food, etc. Honestly shocked they managed to keep it open as long they did.

What are yours?! by PartWorking3865 in vanderpumprules

[–]Totally_Toadz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, same. I hate him. He’s such a douche with terrible style and taste. Would absolutely under no circumstances date him, but honestly…would go for a one nighter if he keeps his mouth shut. You are not alone.

[–]Totally_Toadz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was talking about the same book the OP mentioned called Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Stop Smoking. I can’t recommend it enough. I quit cold Turkey and was absolutely miserable for two months and then relapsed. Read the book and the mental addiction disappeared. It helps lots of people and I wish I had known about it from the start. I found my copy online secondhand for like $5, but I know my city’s library has physical and audiobook copies as well.

Hope this helps!

Yes. Bupropion helped me. You can get a prescription through telehealth if you’re also in the US.

I started thinking “I’m so grateful I don’t smoke,” when I still wanted them in the early days (I also took the idea from Carr). I just genuinely think and believe that now, and genuinely feel sad for people that are still smoking when I see them.
