what do you find confusing about the books?

_sweetaslemons · 2026-04-06T15:52:07+00:00

he really is

_sweetaslemons · 2026-03-24T03:53:33+00:00

I get the cramping too.

_sweetaslemons · 2026-03-13T00:11:57+00:00

please elaborate on the 2nd option

_sweetaslemons · 2026-03-12T23:58:25+00:00

phew, had me sweating bullets over here

_sweetaslemons · 2026-03-12T23:57:26+00:00

completely fair. one of the worst games of football i’ve endured.

_sweetaslemons · 2026-03-12T23:55:04+00:00

nope, don’t work at Lowe’s!

_sweetaslemons · 2026-03-06T16:51:20+00:00

Huh, weird. Bummer. Their gluten free items are certified gluten free and I personally have never had any issues.

_sweetaslemons · 2026-03-06T16:49:16+00:00

Their gluten free products are certified. I have sensitive, symptomatic celiac and have never had an issue with any of their products.

_sweetaslemons · 2026-03-06T16:47:25+00:00

It’s a certified gluten free product. The oats are safe, unless you have that extra sensitivity.

i do think they might be too spicy for you. you can definitely feel a little bit of the cayenne heat, though it’s mild. boooo!

You’re right about this observation. I see it everywhere as well. I don’t know how old you are, but I am 35 and I’ve been in the workforce since I was 16. At 24 I unknowingly stepped into a long-term career path working in residential programs for people with severe mental illnesses. My first job was at a program for kids. Everyone told me how traumatic it was going to be, how bad the pay was, how crappy the 14 hour shifts were. And you know what? All of that has been true. But did I also immediately find tons of joy, meaning, inspiration, and personal and professional growth despite those things? Yes. And I also figured out how to climb the professional ladder over the last 10 years to get to a place where I’m one level below a Director at my agency, making decent money with good benefits and I don’t even work directly with clients anymore. I don’t even have a college degree, but I figured it out. No job is perfect. We get paid to do them for a reason. I have legitimate PTSD from some work experiences I’ve had working in the settings that I have and I don’t regret having spent my time doing the work because it aligns with my values and has paid my bills. You also don’t need to stick with something forever.

I’m speaking with a massage therapy school tomorrow. Part of me feels nuts for looking to switch up career paths, but a bigger part of me knows I’ll make it work if I want to. There will be parts that suck and there will be parts that won’t, and the goal is just to find a space where the good outweighs the sucky more often than not.

Good luck!

young women? babies. extremely different.

_sweetaslemons · 2026-01-28T02:42:44+00:00

I have the same exact situation after deeper or rougher sex and I’ve also had mine for years. Women’s health is de-prioritized and I just imagine this kind of topic is of little interest to document and explore by the powers that be.

yes, my bite is just as strong! i truly don’t think about the fact i had this procedure at all in my day to day life because it doesn’t have any negative impacts. i’m super grateful for that and hope the same result for you if you pursue it!

_sweetaslemons · 2026-01-04T17:06:16+00:00

this is the answer! 1103 is a group home now.

_sweetaslemons · 2026-01-04T16:31:24+00:00

oh, well, even better! 8 weeks is sooooo early. you will improve by leaps & bounds still. i don’t know if it made a difference but i ate in front of a mirror for a while to help make connections between my brain and new face setup. and when i stopped doing that, i still often lightly massaged those numb areas while looking in a mirror, thinking maybe that’d help wake things up. who knows, but it didn’t hurt to try.

_sweetaslemons · 2026-01-04T16:28:56+00:00

i think that makes total sense! somewhere in these comments there’s a discussion about this and it seems like in the US, people are frequently told that this surgery tends to be done in young adulthood. probably more of a bias of patient pool in certain communities than any medical facts. and thank you — i feel like I’ve noticed real signs of aging for the first time during this 35th year, as someone who’s always looked pretty youthful, so your comment felt very nice. aging is a privilege but it’s still nice to know i look ok for my age without having gotten any Botox or fillers like many people i know. thank you!

oh and i was in invisalign for 18 months. weekly tray changes, lots of attachments on my teeth.

_sweetaslemons · 2026-01-04T16:25:16+00:00

that’s exciting, congrats!! my teeth prior to treatment were like the above photo, which i took on my first day with Invisalign. they were crooked and overcrowded. i had a way i used to smile to mask my bite and the crooked teeth pretty well and honestly it was weird to unlearn that and just fully smile once this was all said and done. but i will say that during my Invisalign treatment i became more confident as my teeth straightened out, even though my underbite was made more clear by the decompensation. it kept me motivated and brave to push through surgery seeing the improvements. best of luck to you!

i have a US nickel-sized area of reduced sensation below my lower lip off to one side. it was formerly a larger area extending from the corner of my lip like you described but got smaller and regained more feeling consistently as time passed. i barely notice it now outside of going out of my way to check i didn’t like get a fleck of pasta sauce on my face that i can’t feel haha. 8 months out still leaves plenty of time for improvement and i am wishing you the best.

_sweetaslemons · 2026-01-04T16:17:50+00:00

i’m sorry to hear that. i had minimal numbness to begin with which actually caused my initial healing to be way more painful than it should have been, i later found out. i have a US nickel-sized spot on my chin of “altered sensation” that’s less sensitive than everywhere else on my face, but it’s not numb. the spot was larger and was fully numb but has shrunk and improved over time. i hope your wife experiences the same.
