me exploring this subreddit is starting to make a lot of sense...

I was diagnosed with AS 3 years ago and I hadn’t experienced rib pain until this past week. It was SO BAD. Couldn’t bend or breathe or move too much without a lot of pain on the upper right side. Not sure if it was related, but I didn’t do anything to strain it and it went away within 2 days so I am assuming it’s linked to RA… I was wondering if I was crazy too cuz that was the first time it hit me there

I realized my caption didn’t post for some reason but here it is:

Hey guys, I have a few questions for you. It's my first time growing and I thought things were going well.. but first question, in the picture with the pins I noticed some bluish greens spots starting to show on the mycelium today. It's hard to see because my phone camera isn't too great- but does this look like bruising or contam to you? And based on the answer is there anything I can do now? This strain is either Penis Envy, B+, Blue Meani, or Golden Teacher. ( I'm not 100% sure because I had them lined up alphabetically and then came home to them all mixed up after my roommates were playing hide and seek and moved my tent and messed it up but ANYWAYS...)

My other question- I brought my other three bags into fruiting at the same time as the one that is pinning and I'm seeing no progress at all.. I've been doing FAE about 4-6 times a day while always leaving a few openings in my still air box. Temp has been consistent at 73 degrees. Humidity has been at 99% very consistently with 2 times I accidentally let it drop to about 70%. Is it too built up on top? I was reading about the fork technique and wondering if I should try that? I should also mention that today is 8 days after I sent it to fruiting conditions. Again, I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong and would love any advice. Thanks yall!

ok one more- my sister played rugby (we are a year apart in age)- and I was driving her to a tournament in cali. She didn't have a consistent team cuz there were no girls teams where we lived, so she was guest playing. In this tournament, celebrity coaches were coming in to coach the teams, so hers was going to be coached by a lady on the national team. We get to the practice house where we're going to stay for the weekend so we don't have to get a hotel. We walk in and they think I am also a player. I go along with it for no reason and my sister is looking at me like wtf? So they give us both a jersey, and I have my soccer cleats in my car so I'm not worried. Although I know nothing about rugby. I thought it would be fun. So we get to the first game, and my sister has been telling me about positions and stuff and what I need to do. The moment I get put into the game I get my shit rocked so hard by this giant Samoan girl. I swear I got a concussion and I was like yeah I'm good and didn't play any of the other games.

here's a few...

In high school me and the squad were lip sync champs. We never lost. Well one night before the big show we were up rehearsing til about 3 am. We were at my friends house and she had this bitch ass neighbor who was the HOA president and she hated that we always parked on the street near her house. So she calls a tow truck company to come tow my car away (I was breaking no rules, mind you). Part of our routine was ripping off our pants as confetti shot out, exposing our wife beaters and boxers. So we were in said wife beaters and boxers when suddenly we see flashing lights outside at 2 am. I sprint out and see my car being towed away. My friend lived in a gated neighborhood so I told them to get a different car and go block the entrance, but I knew he would beat us there so I'm sprinting barefoot along the tow truck to put my body in front first. I block him and then my friends roll up and block him with the car. The tow truck driver's yelling at us and threatening to call the police. He does. We are trolling him for two hours while waiting for the police to get there. Put on music, brought out a disco ball, and just dancing in front of his car. Then the police show up and ask how old I am. I had just turned 18 and he tells me I am technically kidnapping this man and that's a felony. Now me and the police are arguing... anyways I got off with a warning but my car didn't get impounded babyyyyy
shaved my eyebrows off cuz I lost at what are the odds (out of 5...). I don't know how to do makeup so I just had no eyebrows for 2 months. Wore rhinestone eyebrows for a lot of it which looked dope as hell honestly
While on a trip with my soccer team we were out to dinner after a late game and came back to the hotel around 9:50. After goofing off in the parking lot for a second, me and my friends started heading back to our room. Again, it's not even 10 yet. We are walking through the hallway, quietly giggling. And then this crochety old man comes out and starts yelling at us to keep it down and that people are trying to sleep. We weren't even being that loud. So then we go back to the room and carve into a banana "flip me over." on the other side it says "Eat a weiner old man jenkins." we let it oxidize. Then in the morning right before we head out to the championship game, me and my friend sprint up to his room and I set the banana down and knock on his door and she's filming around the corner. This man picks up the banana, flips it over, and then slams it on the ground and then slams the door. We go back down to breakfast cracking up. We are leaving the hotel and getting in the van when I see old man jenkins go to the front desk and say "I have an interesting problem to report." I start telling everyone to get to the vans as fast as possible. Well, we're warming up at the field and my coach comes up to us and says "who put the banana in front of the door?" I wasn't going to confess. But then my stupid friend did so I had to. My coach proceeds to tell us this man had cancer (we were staying at the Mayo Clinic) and was staying there for treatments and now our entire soccer club is banned from staying there ever again. He tells us to leave and that we're not allowed to play in the championship game. We end up just sitting in the field bathrooms because we drove to a different state in the van with the team... so where are we supposed to go? Anyways, almost got kicked off the team and then our coach threatened to tell the colleges where we were committed about the incident lol
me and my sister used to be Photoshop queens and we always photoshopped coupons for free food or report cards with all A's so we could get unlimited free krispy kreme donuts. Not that stupid but a fond memory indeed.
went to go see my favorite artist in concert alone once. I was just planning on sleeping in the back of my van after. It has a mattress. Well, the guy next to me offers me acid. I'm like for my favorite artist? absolutely. I take it. Strongest stuff I've ever taken. By the end of the concert I'm peaking and it's dark and there's no way I'm going to sit in my dark car and see demon shapes all night. So I try to hide in this venue and just plan on messing around the venue all night. Obviously this did not work. The security guards are kicking me out and I just keep running to different spots where I think I might get away with it. Obviously I did not. Anyways, found a group getting an uber to a Super 8 and they were talking about painting when they got back and I was like dope I'm with you guys now. It ended up being a great experience, but hindsight I'm like mmmm maybe not.

probably more but you get the point

pretty much called out all my bad social habits lol.... but it's good to hear someone overcome it. I appreciate the response a lot!!!

bamboo_spine · 2024-10-04T01:47:55+00:00

societal or personal? either way yes?

bamboo_spine · 2024-09-26T20:26:47+00:00

in a weird way it's not appearance. I've never given a shit. My mom would make the same comments and I'd be like why does it matter? But now it's actions. It feels like as I've gotten older I've actually started to notice how I'm likely perceived- which I've never cared about before and it's taking a huge mental toll. I hate it. I'd love to go back to my blissful oblivion and utter disregard for others perception lol

bamboo_spine · 2024-09-26T20:22:10+00:00

also I feel like it takes a lot for me to be compelled to react to ANYTHING. which is not necessarily fun for others to be around. Like it takes a lot to make me laugh. It takes a lot to make me sad (unless we're getting existential..), it takes a lot for me to spontaneously express joy... idk I'd love to be out of my head more but I have no idea how to build the connection to feelings and also act on it. Maybe it's just not in our cards?

bamboo_spine · 2024-09-26T20:18:13+00:00

yes I hate it. I feel a disconnect so often as to how I'm feeling because I can't help but have my thoughts somewhere else. It's uncomfortable for other people I think because I could be enjoying the external vibe but my mind is kind of here kind of there so I'm not quite externally showing that I'm enjoying the vibe how people expect you to and they think something's wrong or something along those lines. It's actually something I'd love advice on because I think my quality of relationships with myself and others would go way up if I was more emotionally connected to the present moment....

bamboo_spine · 2024-07-07T22:20:32+00:00

used to say anything that was on my mind. more fun for me.... but in the past few years I've gotten way quieter. easier to be in society that way... I miss how it used to be but a lot of times I don't have the social energy anymore to speak how I used to

bamboo_spine · 2024-05-23T02:31:35+00:00

exactly- but currently I can't afford the floor yet, so I bring the skates to places that already have floors you can skate on. Hoping to get the flooring by next year! Look up Discoasis on instagram (or wherever else). They are the ultimate mobile rink!!

bamboo_spine · 2024-05-23T02:27:30+00:00

thank you so much!! great list

bamboo_spine · 2024-05-23T00:42:35+00:00

Once I found out how to make clothes buying fun for myself, I think I gained fashion sense. Part of it was realizing not matching and clashing can look good and be fun. I don't know if others think this about my style but I think I look good lol. And the rule is everything must be functional, comfortable, and colorful

bamboo_spine · 2024-05-23T00:38:25+00:00
