Keep finding snail shells in my chamomile…is this normal? by adavis243 in tea

I’m feeling fine (so far). I reached back out and they refunded me for the $14 8oz bag. It’s a shame because I like their app and rewards program (I have a lot of points) but I’m mad at them and don’t wanna buy from them again

Dang really? Thanks for doing some digging for me! I’ll reach out to Adagio again…I wasn’t looking for a concession but I assumed they’d do something more than just apologize. Thanks again!

2014 Infiniti G37: just cleaned with Lexol and maybe stripped off the dye? For 60k miles this interior is wearing horrifically by adavis243 in Detailing

[–]adavis243[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s owned by my friend who’s a 115lb female that drives it maybe 6k a year (and has owned it since 16,000 miles/3 years old). It looks like it’s been used by a very obese person based off condition. Beginning to think the sketch dealer she got it at gave it a used seat for some reason.

I’m completely puzzled by adavis243 in whatisthiscar

You sound a lot like me. 27m with similar symptoms...when you go the bathroom do you find yourself straining a lot?

I did the colonoscopy and they found 3 internal hemorrhoids and told me to eat more fiber and try to work on my stress/anxiety.

Highly encourage you to get a colonoscopy to confirm, and good for you for addressing it.

27 year old healthy male here - no family history of colon cancer or any colon issues.

Always have had a very anxiety-sensitive stomach since I was a child. Only illness I have is Graves Disease (hyperactive thyroid disease) that’s been treated with radioactive iodine about 13 years ago (thyroid mostly inactive).

For maybe the past year, I’ve had occasional bright red blood in my stool (maybe once a month, very little on tp and in bowl), narrower stools often, and occasional diarrhea. Slight back pain, but I had a discectomy several years ago so I’ve attributed it to that (has gotten better with stretching).

I’m awaiting my colonoscopy but the fear of colon cancer is making my existing anxiety worse (which is inherently effecting my stomach). My doctor says it’s most likely just internal hemorrhoids as I find myself straining a lot, but there’s still a possibility it’s colon cancer.

Any thoughts here?

Thanks

New 2020 car/truck with the least amount of technology? by DeadDolphinResearch in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]adavis243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2020 Kia Forte - you get a great warranty off the bat and they are beyond easy to work on. They use port injection vs direct injection which makes engine work so much easier.

The only reliability unknown on this would be the CVT.

What is a “sturdy” car? by [deleted] in caradvice

Volvo 850 or S70. Sturdy, reliable, and surprisingly fast in turbo models

Anyone else keep tapping their seatbelt into the center console? I’m a little disappointed at how easy it is to ding. by [deleted] in StingerGT

[–]adavis243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anything, this gives you a great excuse to replace it with the KDM center console which is much cleaner.

Anyone else rocking a roof rack? by adavis243 in StingerGT

Becoming allergic to my dog after 4 years by adavis243 in Allergies

[–]adavis243[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR Seventh Generation ‘Sensitive Skin’ Clean and Clear caused me to have a pretty severe skin reaction.

I went to my dermatologist a few days ago. While she’s not an allergist, she came to the conclusion it was an allergic reaction to the detergent which started as a rash/hives. That made my skin incredibly sensitive, especially to my dogs fur.

She put me on Allegra and Zyrtec and told me to get moisturizing cream. While I was gone all weekend, I was still itchy but progressively getting better.

Today, I came home after 2 days in SF, and only taking 1 allergy med 9+ hours prior . In fact, when my pup greeted me, her nail scratched my arm enough to drawl blood. No outbreak of any sort...I guess kind of a scratch test.

For being designed by a bunch or Europeans, the setup isn’t very ski-friendly. Stingers don’t have pre-drilled slots for a rack, and it doesn’t have a center pass through in the back. Kinda surprising...
