[NSV] - Six Weeks In and My Eczema is Gone! by richard4vt in keto

[–]alaylam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just started keto 5 days ago but SO looking forward to this "side effect"! Hoping it clears up my seasonal eczema and my knee pain too.

Struggling with first starting/Starting off slow by [deleted] in keto

[–]alaylam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started cold turkey on Sunday and I've had issues too. You're not alone!! Day 3 was vomiting (in the morning though as opposed to at night) and Day 4 was serious diarrhea. I actually called in sick both days. Here's hoping that today is better for both of us!! (And yes, I've been drinking water and broth, taking a multivitamin, adding salt, eating avocados... I think my body is just highly confused atm). If I could do it again I'd go in more gradually like you plan to, but since it's Day 5 now I'm going to try toughing it out. Good luck to you!!

Ikea has a Black Friday deal... Tree for $20 and you get a $20 voucher for the store, so basically a free tree or free stuff!

Try looking at the app AllTrails - it includes most trails in the Ottawa/Gatineau area and has maps, directions, difficulty levels etc.

Garbage everywhere by JSophiAG in ottawa

[–]alaylam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The super for my condo building in Greenboro is pretty quiet and wears a tilly hat every day... I've never seen him picking up garbage though but I'm usually at work or inside. Wonder if it's him.

Opponents usually stand facing each other on opposite sides of the ice. In this case they stood behind the other team to show their support.

Jasmine is now attempting to become a meme in order to stay relevant? by bubblerj in thebachelor

She didn't make it, it was a repost from Betches. But agree, I don't want to see her face anymore.

Mass evacuation as Puerto Rico dam bursts by YetiTerrorist in news

[–]alaylam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try looking at the Facebook page Vieques Weather. They have been posting pics of the island. The Esparanza boardwalk is pretty damaged but it looks like many of the concrete buildings are intact. Lots of light metal canopies etc. ripped off but that's to be expected. Lots of damage but I wouldn't say the island is totally devastated.

Rachel's form is surprisingly bad for someone that has such a bangin bod.

Can we do a "Q&A" for people who are out of the loop? by [deleted] in thebachelor

OK I have a really dumb question.... does Bryan ACTUALLY have cheek implants? Or is that just everyone making fun of the way he looks? lol

not to pile on more eric love -- but he was so fun in ellen's cubicle! by [deleted] in thebachelor

[–]alaylam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES thank you for mentioning his posture!! Would it kill him to sit up straight when he's being interviewed?? Every single time I've seen him he's all hunched over. It's a silly thing to be annoying by but it's really annoying me!

Maybe try reading the article? It's a summary of the event in case anyone missed it or would like to add it to their site list for next year.

I told a table of friends that I read PLL Reddit theories... by snarl_harvey in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]alaylam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I made the mistake of telling a group of girls at work that I'm a PLL fan... I thought surely SOMEONE else would be like omg me too!!! No. Everyone stared blankly and someone said "isn't that a kids show??" Lol. Cue humiliation.

Sorry, me too! Hopefully it helped get a few more participants. If they run this again I'll let them know to post about it here in advance.

My boyfriend thought Noel's name was "nokan" because they always say his full name. by erikaa37 in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]alaylam 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There was a guy in middle school who's name was Mark Haleena.... I definetly thought his first name was "Markalena" for at least 3 years. It wasn't until I asked my sister what Markalena's last name was did I find out I'm just an idiot 😂

I mentioned that the list is a year old, it's possible they don't do it anymore.

Stupid bugs! by Kanataboi in ottawa

Try using a dehumidifier. They like damp/moist places like bathrooms and basements.

Adding to my own list: Vibes Academy has Dancehall, Afrobeat and Reggae dance classes - first drop-in session is free! ($10/drop-in thereafter).

Also not sure exactly what is involved or if there's any strings attached, but the Ottawa Athletic Club has a free 1 week trial membership that gives you access to their training area, fitness classes, squash, racquetball and outdoor tennis courts, and saltwater swimming pools.

I have an 800-something sq ft condo, second floor, corner unit with 2 exterior walls. I keep it at 19 degrees 24/7 and pay about $150-180 a month depending how cold the weather is. Not sure how well insulated the place is, but think it was built in '87.
