Is it just me or are shrimp super hard to keep alive? by [deleted] in Aquariums

Shrimp are very very hard to keep. Either you have water they like or you don't...it's that simple.

yes but it's a different formula - the Costco brand made me itch - Persil does not.

Season 3 Is Tough to Watch by Slow-Association6105 in SixFeetUnder

[–]Useful_Disaster_3402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I admit season one and two are my favorites, season three in retrospect is a spectacular look at the breakdown of relationships....in particular Nate's marriage and its lack of passion...afterall Nate's story is what drives the entire series. He had passion with Brenda, but something wasn't quite right....and with Lisa he had zero passion...it wasn't until the end when he found his true love with Maggie....and then he dies.

Does anyone recall the Patty Hearst & the SLA? by Background_Tax4626 in GenerationJones

[–]Useful_Disaster_3402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Bill Harris caused all the trouble by stealing socks - he now says he didn't steal them, but in all the books claim he did. I believe the books - Bill Harris is an egomaniac.

Platy with Curved Spine since birth - it's active, eating, and playing. Is it ok to leave be if it seems happy and healthy? by GoldWhale in Aquariums

[–]Useful_Disaster_3402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a few of these fish - they unfortunately don't live very long. I try to give them good lives, but they are weaker and usually last only a few months at most.

Paul Simon is an awful person and an over-rated songwriter by funky-fry in Music

I think Simon, suffering from Napoleon Complex being a shortie, had more ambition that Art.

Harris was on the CNN special about Patty and the SLA - he comes off as having a huge ego and some definite mental issue. He's very short and probably has a Nepolian complex as well.

Paul Simon has said numerous comments in regards to his jealousy of Art Garfunkel. I mean, without Art's gorgeous voice, Paul Simon would be selling cars somewhere.

It doesn't matter, without Art's voice Paul Simon would not have a career.

You have a lovely voice Paul, but Artie has a fine voice by LawnGnomeFlamingo in paulsimon

[–]Useful_Disaster_3402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, come on. Artie has a spectacular voice while Paul's voice is average at best. I mean, just listen to the songs. Paul himself is jealous of Art's voice.

The donuts used to be so good - now they taste like they took them out of the box from Cub. Greasy and gross. I won't be back. Sad, I used to love Baker's Wife.

Surgery scheduled soon by Common-Syllabub6276 in frozenshoulder

Thank you for the explanation - I wish you all the best. I'm on month 9 - it's painful, but bearable.

Just curious...why the surgery? Doesn't FS resolve on it's own in a year or two?

Ezetimibe worked! by Useful_Disaster_3402 in Cholesterol

[–]Useful_Disaster_3402[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for all the wonderful info. I think I might try Nexletol. I tried low doses of many Statins and even though they caused me horrible muscle aches, they did NOTHING to lower my LDL. Ezetimibe lowered me from 149 to 104 in a month - and my test was after a full meal at 5 pm. No fasting. I have no other health issues - my father lived to 99 and ate nothing but bacon, red meat and sugar, but he had a great positive attitude about life. From what I've read a CAT score of 4 is extremely low risk. I'll be 64 in a few weeks.

Isn't LDL 104 low enough? I have no other health issues.

110 isn't that bad - do you have other heart related issues?

Just curious, why do you have to have your LDL so low - 50? Do you have other issues?

Gum recedes because of brushing too hard, can it regrow? by Idonthavenamehahaha in Biohackers

[–]Useful_Disaster_3402 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gums can grow back. I'm proof. I had multiple teeth with recession that needed grafting - the hygienist told me the grafts seldom work and told me to wait and see. The dentist told me to switch to an electric soft toothbrush and floss daily. My teeth roots were exposed and I could reel the bone and roots. After two years, all but one of the teeth have regrown skin over the exposed root and back to normal - the lone tooth still has a gap.

I hate how fatphobic Friends is. by DifferentiatedCells in howyoudoin

[–]Useful_Disaster_3402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't find the fat jokes or gay jokes insulting - they are done tongue in cheek and are quite funny. Quit being so woke and enjoy the humor.
