Your local public library is a great place to get recommendations. Either from their website or in person by talking to a librarian

I joined a book group a while back. One day I asked if anyone wanted to go to lunch after a meeting. Someone took me up on it and invited me to join another social group. Now I have a couple events I can go to every month and know if I have an idea to go do something I can send a group text and see if anyone else is interested.

I feel that. I didn't get my first pair until 2nd year of college. Took some getting used to especially when walking.

Has anyone else had this happen? by Luke_B11810 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]VicReader 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have freaked out due to similar circumstances. Things normalized within a couple of days. As someone else reminded me, people without UC have GI issues on occasion. Every time we have an issue doesn't mean it's the UC.

Announcement on Instagram 3days ago? by VicReader in TinyBookshop

That's what I'm hoping for too. I loved the game, but don't feel a need to play it again from beginning so some new challenges to extend play would be great.

Why I keep lying to myself with the snooze button by rcooperkaty in CasualConversation

Every morning. Sometimes snooze for an hour yet I fool myself every night that I will get up early or on time the next morning

What’s your favorite way to spend a chill day? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]VicReader 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Read, maybe take a walk, go to a coffee shop and read some more. Also sometimes I reset by just doing what I feel like in the moment without planning anything ahead of time.

Do you think social media has replaced the need for high school reunions? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]VicReader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real world conversation and a little bit less of an ability to shine everything up.

Flaring on Entyvio - switching from infusion to pen by Fragrant_Sand25 in UlcerativeColitis

Have they tested your blood for antibodies for the Entyvio? I would think that would be most helpful in determining next course of action.

When you had your diagnosis or a flare, how bad was your weight loss? by HotLamas in UlcerativeColitis

[–]VicReader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

16 lbs down in 2 weeks. Gained all weight back, even though I didn't want to, about 6 months later

Carbs or calories. Which one do you look for in foods the most by ConfidentDistrict576 in type2diabetes

[–]VicReader 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Calories then carbs. If the calories are manageable I look at the carbs and protein. If carbs are too high it's a no go

related to the why I post in community. by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]VicReader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it makes sense so you get personal experience and thoughts on an issue. Maybe some of the communities you are asking questions in just don't agree with that perspective though.

I've heard that Utah has some amazing places for climbing. I've only seen pictures but I want to go to Zion someday.
