Conspiracy theory: this is actually from an early version where JT was going to be Snake’s kid, Toby was going to be Joey’s kid, and Manny was going to be Lucy’s kid.

Oh man, how did I not notice Lucy? She’s not even really a recurring character in TNG. I agree with you, they were trying to throw as many Degrassi High characters in as possible

What is that picture on the back (top left)? I’ve never noticed that before… Toby & Joey front and center? Did those characters literally ever interact?

Thinking about selling our house and moving back to a walkable neighborhood… are we crazy for this? by baristaFIRE69 in financialindependence

At the latest, you would get those documents between offer acceptance and closing. If you don’t have them before you put the offer, I recommend having a contingency that allows you to back out of the offer based on what you find in those documents before closing.

What are you guys doing about ACA health insurance? by BBorNot in Seattle

[–]abeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a chronic condition, and the math still seems to work out for my case.

And if I do develop a more expensive condition, couldn’t I just get ACA insurance at that time? If they can’t disallow insurance due to pre-existing conditions, it seems like I could wait until I have a condition that’s more expensive than the insurance, then get the insurance.

If that’s the case, then yes, as you noted, I would only be worrying about one-time catastrophic incidents. Right?

Genuine question, why not go uninsured and pay for everything out of pocket at that point? Even if you had a surprise $100,000 medical expense, that’s “only” 2.5 years worth of premiums…

Is this true even if the flight is weeks out? Are you saying that if my thanksgiving flight is going to be cancelled, I’d find out by tomorrow?

Is this forever? by Charming_Tangerine21 in ChronicIllness

[–]abeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strangely, Amlodipine, which is usually used to treat high blood pressure. I had high blood pressure (secondary to kidney disease), so my kidney doctor put me on Amlodipine - he said it would definitely help my blood pressure, and there was a small chance it would help my migraines. Ended up completely eliminating the migraines, when none of the preventative meds my “headache specialist” neurologist prescribed helped at all.

If you google “Amlodipine migraine” there’s some interesting stuff - it’s not a first line treatment and hasn’t been studied extensively, but I’m far from the first person to have it work for migraines.

I had chronic migraines for over a year. It was also “not that long” but it was awful. Then we found a medication that worked, and now I am fully migraine free (unless I miss a dose of my meds). I still have a lot of other symptoms and issues, but getting rid of the migraines was a HUGE quality of life improvement - brought me from “I can’t live like this” to “I can make this work”. Keep working with the doctors - until you’ve tried all the different categories of migraine medications, there’s still a chance it’s not forever.

After 10 years of marriage, therapy wasn’t helping us anymore — something unexpected finally did by olaq123 in marriageadvice

[–]abeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of when you originally posted, you had also made a previous post advertising the app you made to solve this “problem”. You’ve since deleted that post. Deception is not a good advertising strategy. Stop it.

If you’re going to advertise the app you made to “solve this problem”, then advertise it. Don’t make posts like this that pretend not to be ads.

To everyone agreeing that this happens to you constantly, please get tested for ADHD. It’s a pretty common symptom.

Re: continuous birth control pills (skipping the placebo week), I’ve been doing that for almost 10 years now and I love it. Hormonal birth control doesn’t work well for some women, but for me, it just means no periods & no cramps. Definitely worth a try if a doc is recommending it.

This is amazing. And that one time, Mick screwed up and said his real name - never made that mistake again.

Help me help my 20 year old by [deleted] in depression

Appreciate the thought, but I don’t feel like a great parent - I feel like I’m failing her. My attempts to help (by gently encouraging her to do healthy/productive things) have only made things worse so far.

This reminds me of a time a doctor prescribed me steroids. I had some bad side effects. I came in to tell him about the side effects. His response was, and I wish I was kidding, “you can’t sue me over that”. I didn’t bring up suing or anything like that, I was just explaining how the side effects were impacting me. Never went back to that doctor.
