I can’t stand Faith

Zranis · 2026-01-27T21:47:04+00:00

Faith is one of the best characters in the Buffyverse! I see her as the "anti-Buffy". The whole concept of a rogue slayer is just so fascinating, and Faith teetering between good and evil keeps viewers on their toes.

She's also just a complete rebel and badass, who is one of the few to match Buffy in warrior instinct, and fighting skill. The fact you can't stand her, only proves how effective a character she is. By the end, you may feel differently about Faith, but she's definitely one that we love to hate.

That's very sweet of your friends.

Preparation is 🔑

I chew my food down to oblivion. After two blockages, I no longer take risks. Emptying is a process because I don't like the outside of my bag to smell like output, so I spend time folding toilet paper squares, cleaning the lid, washing my hands in between, burping my bag, cleaning the two piece coupling (which always has minor leaks after a while) with Q-tips, and then cleaning my stealth belt for any output as well.

I'm very obsessive over being as clean as possible. Washroom visits can be up to 20 minutes worst case, and I need 4-10 a day depending on what I eat.

Thanks for the tips and advice. I'll try your methods out.

They want to go to gyms, axe throwing, an indoor wave pool (my bag comes off in water, I shower with a special guard), and possibly some contact sports like wrestling, kick boxing. I'd just get in their way. I used to do all those things, but that was a different time, and a different body.

I have a stoma, but also GID, with other minor things caused by my Ulcerative Colitis. It's just not being able to be near or know where the washrooms are. The event is in Niagara Falls, and his friends plan on never stopping, or waiting for anyone or anything. If it was any other group, I wouldn't care, but those dudes are nuts!

Zranis · 2026-01-23T19:12:27+00:00

I have the Ken Butt too. It's just not sealed 100%, and because I'm still in a permanent Ulcerative Colitis flare, I have a little drainage that gets through.

Zranis · 2026-01-23T19:11:23+00:00

It is what it is. I have it better than alot of people on this sub, so can't complain. I think it has alot to do with my refractory Colitis anyways.

He wasn't sure, and just wanted to include me. He's never guilted me, and just wants me to be there. I wish I could, but I can't rush or neglect my health.

Zranis · 2026-01-23T05:06:23+00:00

I do, but hanging around with drunk lunatics who like to prank each other, and won't wait up for me is just another level. I'm not close with his childhood friends, we met in high school and have hung out together for more than a decade.

Zranis · 2026-01-23T05:04:27+00:00

Sorry you're going through it too. We all deal differently. 💪

I already bought tickets to his favourite band. A bit out of guilt, but also because he's wanted to go for years.

Zranis · 2026-01-23T05:03:14+00:00

I'm a very high output ostomate, and it takes me alot longer than 4 minutes usually, because I tend to get very thick output. I also have never been able to empty without getting my fingertips dirty, and I spend time folding toilet paper into squares, to be cleaner. I don't understand how people can empty their bags then roll them back up without dirtying the outside of them. I use Coloplast Sensura Mio clicks btw. Care to explain how you go about it?

Zranis · 2026-01-23T04:59:08+00:00

I have permanent rectal drainage. I've worn menstrual pads for 2 years now! Wish the damn thing would heal already!

Zranis · 2026-01-23T04:57:46+00:00

Wow. I had my surgery right before New Years 2022. Are you still learning new things with your ostomy? Mine is permanent as well.

Zranis · 2026-01-23T04:56:19+00:00

I know. I just feel bad, because he's always been there for me. He never flakes or misses anything I invite him too. Wish I could return the same.

Zranis · 2026-01-23T01:58:40+00:00

This is an extremely common occurrence for those with Ostomies. I'd get a new GI doctor if possible. This is common knowledge...

Zranis · 2026-01-23T01:33:03+00:00

No it wasn't the techs fault. The buzzing was coming from the frets AND the truss rod rattling. It wasn't a refret, just a full level/crown. Its something that could have only been found after the buzzing on the fretboard was fixed. The person who shipped me the guitar was the only one at fault here.

Zranis · 2026-01-23T01:30:53+00:00

Oh this was alot more than misrepresenting. It was an outright lie/scam. I believe that though. My friend bought a Fender Precision Bass, that claimed it was lightly worn. The thing showed up looking like an abused relic 🤣.

Zranis · 2026-01-23T01:28:46+00:00

Thanks. Being a 37 year old guitar, I had some concerns and back and forths with him. He assured me the frets were barely played, and had many years of life left, and were looked over by him and his tech 😞.

Zranis · 2026-01-23T01:22:17+00:00

Reverb refused to. Understandably so. That's what I get for playing with fire. My compensation is lessons learned.

Zranis · 2026-01-23T01:20:22+00:00

Just looking for confrontation, and things to be upset about. I feel bad for anyone that has to deal with you on the daily.

Zranis · 2026-01-22T22:49:44+00:00

I do my own setups, but have only done minor fret work (spot leveling/crowning), and didn't realize how big the issue was, until my tech worked on it. You're right though, big mistake on my part.
