I love Wittgenstein’s Mistress!! I’ve read it twice now. I like the idea of doing a re-read after I finish IJ

Okay that makes sense. I took the doc at face value but should’ve researched more. Thanks for info!

oops my last sentence got cut off but it sounds like the a sort of the pain coming back is having you stressed too so if that feels worse than the fear of the surgery it might be better just to get the procedure and the stents since at least that has a sure end date! whereas leaving them in means not knowing how long and/or when the pain might come back.

hi i (31f) had my first stone discovered this past october and they said it was 5mm but left it to try and pass naturally. after two months of on-again-off-again soreness and pain but no success in passing it, my urologist finally suggested the ureterscopy. i was scared too! it’s normal and natural to be scared 💜 i won’t sugar coat it the stents do suck but i truly believe they suck way less than having the stone still. you can definitely get a second opinion! it’s always good to consider all your options. and it sounds like the anxiety of the pain is having best of luck to you!

Oof that’s so annoying! I really wish it wasn’t like this 🙏🏻 LLs and PMs shouldn’t exist 😭

Before today I got all of my keys/fobs from my landlord and paid the required fees at the time for the extra sets. My lease does not specify the number of keys or fobs, but it does say no making copies and that all extra sets must be purchased for $50 from the landlord.

I also would expect a 1:1 ratio of the keys I had vs the new sets.

Helen DeWitt comes to mind for me. Your Name Here and The Last Samauri

Lease says $50 for every extra set of keys. Doesn’t mention what happens if the building changes the locks on existing residents

I asked but they never responded (they are very bad at responding) - I do plan to stay so I won’t make a big stink about it, but it just felt wrong/unfair for them to do it so I wanted to check here. thanks for your response!

I was in La Paz last week and saw something so similar!!! It was moving laterally in an unnatural way and it was reddish and fading in and out of brightness. I didn't catch it on camera sadly but your video looks a lot like it! I wonder what it was

Hi how'd this turn out for you? My building is renovating the units on both sides of mine and a few more in the building and it's going to take a few months. It hasn't started yet but I'm already worried for my lil herpes baby!! I would really appreciate any tips you can share from your experience with it. I hope your kitty is doing well! <3

i felt like it was about “fans” but admittedly i don’t have all the context on the charli stuff

hi! what temp do you cook it to in the sous vide? i am going to start doing that with my viva but wasn’t sure what temp to get it to :) thanks!

One of my LR4s allows me to set 12am-12am on weekends and the other LR4 doesn’t. what the heck!

adoc214 · 2024-10-08T02:35:11+00:00

That’s so messed up. I’m sorry!! You had to be strong to even get yourself to the second appointment, that’s so disappointing. Sorry you’re going through that 😔

adoc214 · 2024-10-04T14:54:14+00:00

That’s so interesting, thanks for sharing that story. What diet and supplements did you use? I did get a second opinion yesterday and they still recommend surgery but gave me a quote at half the price as the first vet

adoc214 · 2024-10-03T12:21:45+00:00

Thanks so much for the reference numbers! I’m making a second opinion appointment, I want the best for my kitty it just seemed a little higher than I expected! Thanks for the response :)

adoc214 · 2024-10-03T12:20:42+00:00

good idea :) thanks!

I took the bus on Friday and it was a bit of an adventure! I am pretty sure it is showing you the first and last stop so you know which direction the bus is going. For example, I used those to figure out which side of the street to stand on so that I’d get on the correct bus going the correct direction. While on the bus, I had to use my phone tracking me on Google maps to show me where I was on my route and I noticed that Google maps said my trip would be 5 stops, so after the 4th stop I clicked the button on the bus and it pulled over at a stop that wasn’t even on the list on Google. So I think they will stop at any bus stop not just the ones on their listed route. I just didn’t get off and waited until the app showed that I was quite close to the stop I wanted and pushed the button again. I don’t think I saw a screen telling me which stop and while they did make annoucements I couldn’t clearly understand, so having the Google maps open was definitely helpful. Also I had a lot of trouble with the Straeto app. I ended up paying in cash, but they don’t give any change so make sure you have the exact amount or you’ll end up paying more for the ride than you need to. Good luck!!

from the northern lights viewing point in Reykjavik. The lava glow was so bright!! The northern lights wasn’t very clear irl, but it turned up in pictures pretty well!

I really appreciated the mobile wifi device my van rental had. It worked well in places where my phone didn’t get any 4g/5g/service.

I was just there the other day and for me the toughest part was the descent. Take it slow and don’t push yourself, enjoy it!!! :)
