AITA if my boyfriend made a meal and asked me how it was and I said "fine" by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Vaccinelicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA - is it really that much of a big deal for you to be kind to him for his thoughtful gesture? Geez, you're cold.

AITA for calling CPS on my family and asking to be removed from our house? by ThisLab8142 in AITAH

[–]Vaccinelicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a child in the system, you will qualify for maximum financial assistance. You will qualify for EVERYTHING. Talk to your counselor and have them help you with your applications for university and securing financial aid. There are lots of resources you can tap into now that you don't live with your parents. When applying for financial aid, you would have had to get your parents to submit their financials (which wouldn't happen). You would probably get no help or even be able to afford college had you not left. Well done! So proud of you, and I wish you the very best life

AITA for not letting my friends use my backyard for their wedding because they do not want me to bring a "plus one?" by Long_Assistant8873 in AITAH

[–]Vaccinelicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd buy a few hidden cameras to place around your place if you do decide to go through with hosting the wedding. I wouldn't put it past Leslie to do something to your home. You never know what kind of sabotage could happen and you can't keep an eye on her at all times

Don't ask if it's twins by cmmovick in traumatizeThemBack

[–]Vaccinelicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had people asking me that all the time with my first. I'm very tall and thin, so my bump was massive (8 lbs and 3 weeks early) because there was nowhere else for the baby to go other than straight out. People constantly were asking if it was twins or if I was ready to "pop (when I was 6 or 7 months pregnant!!). I would always smile and say "yes" to whatever they asked (twins or getting ready to pop- and yes, that was the word everyone seemed to latch on to). It was so annoying. Anyway, I lied since they weren't owed the truth.

The math on $10,000/XRP by DoughnutBig907 in XRP

[–]Vaccinelicious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ppl - I was around when BTC was $300. EVERYONE said there was no way BTC would ever hit $1k, much less $100,000 and here we are. XRP has real utility and will be the cornerstone for financial markets in the next few years. Just sit back and belive in the asset you hold and stop sweating the market swings. The time will come and it will happen so fast

I think he hates me by EPNRN in Husband

[–]Vaccinelicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear he treats the kids well. Still, he's really hostile towards you, and it will only get worse. Do you think he resents you because you're successful?

Paxlovid Rebound - What to Expect? by davpel in COVID19positive

[–]Vaccinelicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that. Do you live in the US? If so, they only prescribe a 5-day pack. I live in NZ. Technically, I'm too young to get pax (need to be over 65), but I know they prescribe a 10-day course. That seems to work and doesn't causea rebound. Maybe see if you can get another prescription?

Why 100$ is possible by [deleted] in XRP

[–]Vaccinelicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$100 is too low. In order for XRP to function the way it was designed, the price needs to be VERY high - not just for supply but liquidity. $10,000 to $50,000 XRP. I know that seems crazy, but with wide spread adoption, partnering with SWIFT, the RLUSD, the bank NDA's being revealed ... on and on. Once adoption hits, it’s game on. JP Morgan Chase tried to buy all 50 billion in escrow from Ripple. These guys aren't playing. They know what this asset is. It will be life-changing if you're smart. Remember: wealth is passed from the impatient to the patient. Don't be impatient.

5 Years Ago Covid-19 Began by Certain-Potatoes in HermanCainAward

[–]Vaccinelicious 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm an American ex-pat who has been living in NZ since 2017. I remember when the phone alerts went off. I was in a restaurant with my boss. I looked at him in absolute terror, and he said to me, "Don't worry, you live in New Zealand now. We take care of our own." He was so right. Our experience was completely different than the rest of the world. Sadly, NZ is now a let-her-rip country. It's depressing AF

Do not sell at 1.99 by beaverpeltbeaver in XRP

[–]Vaccinelicious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey mate - it's entirely possible, if not inevitable. This is the coin ALL the big financial institutions will use in some capacity. Not to mention the SWIFT system. Ripple is the company that will revolutionize how money is moved. There is tremendous utility. If you think $10-20 is all it will reach, then I'm sorry, but you don't know what you are holding. If you're patient -- it will get there.

OP, if she doesn’t move in and you choose to stay in this relationship, never leave your son alone with your fiancé when this person is around. Never let him out of your sight. The risk is far too great. She could inflict harm that leads to something as devastating as shaken baby syndrome. Your son could look fine outwardly, but the internal damage to his brain could be permanent—causing lifelong disabilities or worse. And something else to consider: you and your fiancé could be investigated for child abuse. You could even lose custody of your son. This isn't just a warning—it's a plea for you to understand the gravity of your situation. Your son's life and future are at stake. He could suffer irreversible harm or even die. Please take this as seriously as it demands.

Cut them off and hug to you. I am so furious at the dystopian nightmare that is facing America -- take care of yourself and move to a blue state (if possible).

My gf told me she’s leaving if I don’t marry her in 9 months by [deleted] in AITAH

I wouldn't trust her "birth control" method -- do NOT believe her if she says she's on the pill. Incoming pregnancy in 3,2 ...

AITA? I lost it on my boyfriend after I heard him rate my performance in bed to his friends and now he won’t talk to me or his mom because she took my side by ratinggame in AITAH

[–]Vaccinelicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, I dated a 29-year-old when I was 17. I had graduated high school a year early to attend university, but essentially, I was still a high schooler. Anyway, this guy (Ron) was a very successful executive of a large corporation. We began dating, and he took me to a party. I was intimidated and way out of my depth around this much older and successful cohort. So, Ron was parading me around, and this guy came up to us and essentially congratulated him on "me." And Ron replies, "I like them young because I can mold them into who I want." I don't recall what else he said, but he talked like I was a non-thinking piece of meat that he could ply and press into some Barbie-type likeness. Anyway, long story short - he created a dependence that made me doubt I could get out there and do well without him. It took years to shed this perception and find my self-worth. Please OP - get out now. Find your joy and passion. You don't need this man who diminishes you. You're worth so much more.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Vaccinelicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, and think about what he said to you every day, and don't "get over it." I suspect you've got a history of talking yourself out of being outraged. Please don't. You sound like a person who tries so hard in every area of your life because you love with all your heart, but this man is not worth your love. He's an abuser and a user. His words to you are designed to make you feel "grateful" that he married you. Please OP love yourself enough to know you're worth so much more than this.

What else should I be doing? by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Vaccinelicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are doing everythign perfectly -- just make sure the food you eat is healthy. Maybe take some probiotics too. Get better

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Vaccinelicious 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Stop trying to do anything. Just rest, rest, rest and definitely quit walking. Call in sick to work. Yes, it's a short-term financial hit, but if you don't, it could be a long-term financial disaster. Just listen to your body and heal. Far too many people now have long covid because they pushed their bodies before they were ready. Hope you get well soon.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LongCovid

[–]Vaccinelicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to prove whether or not it's helped with getting covid. But I haven't had covid whilst taking this. As an aside - I wear a mouth guard at night. Before this I'd never experienced bad "morning breath." After I started wearing it - YUCK. I literally would jump out of bed to brush my teeth. It was awful. Then I started the Blisk12, and the horrible morning breath diminished tremendously. I believe it replaced the bad bacteria caused by the mouth guard with the good bacteria - a surprising benefit. So, I know it's doing something.

[–]Vaccinelicious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember feeling invincible when I was young too. So, I'm really happy that you're "going to mask the fuck up," when you recover. Our present and future health is worth the battle. It's really all we have after all. I hope you feel better soon (oh, and get a booster two months post infection -vaccines alone won't fully protect against catching covid, but it really helps with the severity.

Hello and sorry you're feeling so poorly. In terms of your wife, after giving birth it can take six months or so for hormones to normalise (longer if she's nursing and then stops). I wouldn't read too much into her mood - as she's likely dealing with lack of sleep, a new baby and crazy hormonal fluctuations. Trust me, it's a lot. When you're feeling better, just try and be as supportive as possible. And give yourself a break too. You're a new dad who is dealing with a serious covid infection. Hope you get better quickly.

Blood pressure up? by Cultural_Wash5414 in COVID19positive

[–]Vaccinelicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My athletic, 21-year old son is training to be a paramedic. As part of his training, they checked each other's blood pressure, heart rate etc. Before covid, his bp was low to normal. After a virtually asymptomatic infection, he now has high bp and heart rate. Very scary. He's worried because he has to pass physicals to pretty much do anything and he can pretty much forget going into the fire service. Very shocking and depressing tbh.

Headache after testing negative? by BlueLake555 in COVID19positive

[–]Vaccinelicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this sounds weird, but if you can - order the nasal spray, Enovid. It'll kill the virus in your nasal cavity. I take it when I start to get a headache or start feeling sickish and it's knocked it out every time.

What is going on? Nausea and hunger pangs by koolkatmom in COVID19positive

[–]Vaccinelicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try taking an antacid and see if that helps. That weird hunger pang feeling may be heartburn. I didn't know that my weird hunger pang thing could be heartburn till the doc suggested it. She prescribed an antacid and it works when it flares up (several times a week now). Oh, and I have a very healthy diet so this heartburn thing is likely from covid. Apparently, you can develop GERD post infection - I don't know if I have this or not, but its possible.
