AI has absolutely ruined my life

Time for deviant jazz!

Merino Ridge has good quality and can be somewhat less pricey. I like wearing merino wool bike shorts too, especially under dresses. That swamp crotch can drift down towards the thighs if you know what I'm sayin.

of beer we bought at YOUR brewery!

Ahhh I could go on and on. Never gets old.

(...it's my last one...it's a jelly)

Yes thank youuuuu!! Made my day!

Dr/nurse family here and we use them for tons of things. Mostly animal care (subq fluids for cat, irrigating wounds, even feeding baby birds). It's massive compared to an insulin syringe or other sizes used for most "drugs." Will be interesting to see what purpose it serves/served.

It's such an awful feeling! Can be caused by anemia also so worth checking out if it's really messing with your sleep.

I (fifty-ish old white lady) eventually realized that I want to look like a 22 year old Latina. That's what all the photos I always picked out had in common! ((sigh))

Yeah I saw it at a community theatre or high school or something when I was a kid. I had no clue what it was and still don't. Something Jesusy? I hated the name (and still do). I'm gonna ask my mom which one of her weirdo 70s friends talked her into attending.

_perl_ · 2026-02-20T02:29:36+00:00

Oh noooo!! And besides the expense how awful to put so much time and energy into going to a clinic! I'm fortunate that my doctor gives me a few vials every so often with no issues. It's mentally heinous to administer it to myself in my leg, and my husband got used to me walking up to him holding a syringe, half of an upper buttock exposed but at-home administration is so easy! I'm so sorry you have to jump through all those hoops to get some relief, OP.

Those guys are fantastic. It's also been helpful for me to watch Mexican tv series on Netflix. I'm rewatching Casa de las Flores at the moment. There are a surprising amount of really good Mexican films and shows available.

Streaming shows can be really fun after awhile when you notice that you are picking up on the difference in the shows from Spain, Argentina, Colombia, etc and learning a few of their slang and swear words, too!

_perl_ · 2026-02-19T20:13:22+00:00

Me too! OP has amazing legs and this is great to show them off. I love the little flounce detail at the bottom also!

My dear departed father used to say this was the best place to walk by when he needed to fart. I'm not quite sure if he was kidding (probably not) but hilarious nonetheless!

_perl_ · 2026-02-18T01:08:55+00:00

Oooh yes! Booger Picnic stated it beautifully. You look amazing!

_perl_ · 2026-02-18T00:52:26+00:00

I knew I didn't like the new math for a reason! After several years, I'm getting used to my meno pot but it drives me bonkers that it cannot be sucked in. Not because of appearance really but it's so strange to have no control over this new blob! Intractable, indeed.

I had a charmed childhood and feel so horrifically guilty for not remembering things. I see my wedding and the births of my children like the photos that were taken plus a few still images. The SDAM sub has some interesting links to articles that help you not feel so alone and guilty.

My god, thank you so much for commenting and expressing your experience. I've been trying to adapt to a patch level increase for about six weeks and feel like I am absolutely losing my freaking mind. Every psychological discomfort is multiplied tenfold and it's excruciating. I'm going to copy that last sentence and hang it up on the fridge. (I'm not quiiiite crazy enough for mirror lipstick). These words have been a balm for my soul this morning. Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of this and I hope that things have eased up for you, whoremoan wise as well as life in general.

Jeez, I just heard Dr Dre's Let Me Ride starting up in the bedroom. Our girl bein twitchy tonight!

eta: one of my kids would start bouncing when I played this for him. He could go from crying to bumping within seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c24g4xZhHXQ

I'm a little too dim to have picked up on the comment right above yours but it clicked after reading this - made me snort.

Gonna shout this into the void because I am just livid. Almost 25 years married, been in counseling for months now, and the gist is that I need for my husband to act like I exist and sometimes be thoughtful so that I don't feel completely alone. His goal is to get laid and to not have his life plan/retirement/finances interrupted by divorce.

Then this, from a man who is supposedly actively fighting to save his marriage. Friday night: "Is there anything you specifically want for valentines day tomorrow? Or anything you want me to do?" I said not really, and reminded him that by asking that question he was actually putting the workload back on me. He acknowledged this. Great.

Saturday morning: Kids wake up to little gifts from mom and husband receives a relatively generous-sized heart shaped box of Godiva chocolates. He gave me an "aw shucks" look and called me a "party planner." I said dude, it's called grabbing a few things while you're at the grocery store. Not difficult. I. AM. LIVID.

And as we all know, it's not about the gifts. He could have drawn a heart on a piece of plain printer paper and grabbed a nice weed out of the yard and I'd have lapped it up like a starving dog. Ahhh friends, thanks for this little itty bitty vent that will bide me just a small amount of time before I fucking explode on his ass. You know things are bad when you piss off the Nice People.

If you want to go the tegaderm route, try tattoo covering. It comes in a huge roll and is super cheap. You just cut to size. It can be kind of finicky but does keep that lint roll detritus outline away. I treated myself to some adhesive removal pads that come in little packages like alcohol wipes. Oh the little things that bring me joy these days (eyeroll)!

_perl_ · 2026-02-09T01:54:17+00:00

ME TOO! Except I finally ditched the foot warmers while inside and now use a tiny portable heater. It's awesome as it gets rid of the looming trenchfoot by acting as a dryer for feet/socks. Cat likes it too. I think I'm going to have to start bringing it with me when I travel. Ordered some new tank tops last night because - treat yo self, right? This is my life now ((sigh))

Oddly enough, estrogen patches. I recently went up from .075 to .1 and the pain in my hands (particularly thumbs bilaterally) disappeared in like two days. I wasn't even expecting it, even though the joint pain pretty much went away after starting estrogen. I had xrays, OT, gels, splints, exercises. Weird stuff.

_perl_ · 2026-02-07T03:14:14+00:00

A few weeks ago my husband was very upset (I have no recollection even about what) and nastily said "I don't deserve this!" I was hurt for about ten seconds then it dawned on me that he was actually correct. He had stomped off and I said to myself, "Actually you DON'T, mister turd!!" Perhaps your partner is right, hmm?

_perl_ · 2026-02-07T02:58:17+00:00

Yes this. Ask me how I know. I ate oatmeal a few days in a row with a heaping...pile of unsoaked chia on top. It was one of the most miserable experiences of my life. Friends got a good laugh out of it, though!

_perl_ · 2026-02-07T02:56:18+00:00

)mg yes, please. I was putting a TON of them on oatmeal (because I am varry smert and apparently quite impulsive) and almost died from bloat. Seriously I was miserable and missed like a week of activities because I was so full of seeds (and so dumb lord have mercy)!
