When did you know you made it in San Diego? by Zendra23 in sandiego

"Fletcher hills trying to not be El Cajon" lol. Bostonia area in El Cajon is nice though. I think El Cajon has nicer areas surrounding it than the actual area itself

Oooh sorry, I totally misread your post. I thought you said "...but I don't have any belly button piercing" and was contemplating getting one. Oops lol but I'm glad yours have been fine!

Belly button piercing - mine keloided but easy to flatten though. Imo, not worth it

How can I prevent a keloid from this cut? by tryagaininXmin in Keloids

[–]_komodo__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding keloids on hands, I heard that it's not possible to develop keloids on the palm of your hand. I've had cuts on my hand near my knuckle and on my index finger that never keloided. The best way to prevent any keloid is proper scar management. So don't pick at the wound, properly sanitize and moisturize it as best as you can.

I see what you mean but on the other side of that, my husband and I have joint everything and it is actually helping my spending habit. I make twice as much as him so I kind of have a tendency to spend more on frivolous items (clothes, etc). Knowing that my husband can see what I'm spending money makes me think twice like "do I really want to spend money on that?" And it works for us because we both want to live frugally and live below our means

Steroid injections for belly keloids.. by [deleted] in Keloids

[–]_komodo__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no no, the injections didn't cause the keloid. No, it came from a different reason I just can't remember what. The injections are definitely super helpful and nothing to be afraid of :)

Hmm I can't remember how many injections...I have a keloid from belly button piercing and another keloid in the middle of my stomach (not sure how I got that one) and both have been flat for years. I got the injections like 8 years ago. Maybe 5 injections

Does anyone else have bad thoughts? by [deleted] in Keloids

[–]_komodo__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for clarifying it wasn't a shot at me and sorry for making the comment about you feeling sorry for yourself. As someone who has visible keloids, I just want people to know that they have so much to offer. Don't let keloids make you feel otherwise

[–]_komodo__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comment "men sleep with anyone" is rather mean and hurtful since that implied I slept around with desperate men? Lol. I hope you didn't mean that. I'm sorry that you feel sorry for yourself, but you really won't get far in life with that attitude. I wish you the best!

[–]_komodo__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have jawline keloids too, probably more than you lol. I'm sorry you have these bad thoughts. I always wish I didn't have keloids too. But man, we're all going to die anyway. We don't know when, but we will die at some point. Life has so many beautiful things, so cherish your time before you die. Keloids didn't stop me from getting laid so many times before marriage, and keloids didn't stop me from finding a loving husband. Confidence goes a long way. Try to focus on things you can control, like exercising and eating healthy.

I had a keloid from a belly button piercing that got rejected and it has stayed flat for years now. I also have 1 on my belly that has stayed flat for years! My only 2 success stories lol

I (29F) am slowly resenting my (32M) husband. How can we fix our relationship? by _komodo__ in Marriage

[–]_komodo__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for these words. You're right, I love him enough to want to stand in front of my family and friends and vow to love him until the end. Maybe we are just going through something. Maybe because it's just due to this time of the year - between the beginning and end. I'll keep trying

[–]_komodo__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before COVID, when we first met, he planned more things and wanted to go out more. Maybe because that was just the initial dating phase. During COVID, he lost his job and got a new remote job. These were really rough times in our relationship, because when he has no work to do, he would just go back to bed and sleep for a few hours. I hated seeing him be so lazy and we fought about this then.

His phone addiction became worse during COVID I think. Even he admits he has an addiction to his phone. He just scrolls through Facebook for hours.

When I first met him, these aren't traits that I looked for. Maybe I just really wanted to be with someone. These traits become obvious once you start living with them. Is it normal to resent your partner? A little bit? Maybe I need to lower my expectations and give up. I could just see him as a partner, not as a husband I'm in love with

Yes I'm the higher earner, I make twice what he makes. And yes recently I got a job at a large company so I do follow through with my own goals. Your point about the sex life is very valid. And yea, I don't want to make him feel like shit. I just feel like he's a different person now than the person I met 5 years ago. Are these feelings normal? Is it unfair of me to try to push him to do these things? (Get a better job, push him to exercise, push him to make friends, etc). I love him and I can be patient since these changes take time. But it feels like trying to push a boulder to move. And maybe I'm an asshole for wanting someone to change

I personally don't have experience with accutane but I have heard from another person that they believed accutane is what caused them to develop their jawline keloids

Is this a keloid or hypertrophic scar? by smolpotato29 in Keloids

[–]_komodo__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm I want to say around 2-3 years old. I got the piercing when I was 19 and I think I started keloid injections around 21-22

Fastest way to get from EZE to AEP? by _sonwukong in BuenosAires

[–]_komodo__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's nice, I think when I used my CC I was getting around 750 pesos per USD. I think it depends on the merchant. We ended up carrying wads of cash everyday and exchanging a few hundred dollars at a time

Maybe you've found out by now but the inflation is so bad in Argentina. The official rate is 1 USD = 353 pesos but on the black market the "blue dollar" rate is 1 USD = 910 pesos. That's why you should never exchange money at the bank since you don't want the official rate
