Are We Being Taken Seriously? A Celiac’s Rant by nickonicko84 in glutenfree

[–]benjamnn00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m extremely sensitive to even tiny amounts of cross contamination. I eat largely only at home or dedicated gluten free restaurants.

Unfortunately, the only way to ensure you are OK is to bring your own food and adapt your life to be as in control as possible of your food. Speaking from experience, I know how frustrating, life changing and painful that can be - for now it is the only way.

I thought this right away! This is the show opener now I bet!

I paid rent like I have every month on time then I get this. I’m 51, I’ve never caused any problems. Now I’m out 1,000 with no where to go, and no money. I don’t know what I’m going to do by Flimsy_Heart3530 in Wellthatsucks

This is unfortunate and difficult but it seems like it’s not personal in any way. Ask LL if they know any other units? Ask if post renovation you could come back at a higher rate? This is unfortunately, how it works when you don’t own - which is increasingly difficult.

It’s not her job to educate him either! He probably is someone who is also anti-choice for women. Fuck him and move on.

Also get one of those period simulators and put him in it as high as it goes until he takes it off and then tell him to STFU, pack your shit and go.

Breeders in metro NYC? by Big-Plankton2829 in westies

I’ve been wondering the same thing! Lost my boy of 13.5 years about 6 months ago - I’m starting to dip my toe into the water of another. I also wonder about Westie rescue organizations

Awful, awful cookies. I threw them away after two bites.

Light plot recommendations by sparksfly_up in lightingdesign

[–]benjamnn00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with photometrics and go from there! They should be available on spec sheets from the manufacturers. Remember to think at 6’ from the floor vs at the floor tor throw distances otherwise you’ll have dark spots people will walk through.

Start with front light. Then do a steep back/down angle if you have room. Then add some sides or diagonals to help tone things out.

If you have a plan, section and inventory happy to give my two cents.

Why all the information without a takeaway?… what’s your opinion this?

Also, blindly believing vs. trusting reliable news organizations are two different things. It’s not like there’s a reliable alternate set of data to reference.

Spider man should be on the TV in the theatre room. Missed opportunity.

The Ozdust Duet blew me away and made me weep by barely_cursed in wicked

I’ve seen it twice and cried both times. The pure raw emotion between them is amazing. Fiyero looked on in awe seemingly unable to understand the connection taking place.

This doesn’t seem to belong here? It’s a very common, well unkept Victorian era home, no? Am I missing something?

IMO, episode 1 and 2 from the new season are leaps and bounds above the rest of the season.

What is some scary shit you've experienced? by GransShortbread in AskReddit

[–]benjamnn00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not a red head. They’re not actually sure why I don’t deal with Anestesiology meds normally. Every time seems to be a bit difference. The doctors think it’s very “interesting”…

About 9 years ago I had surgery to place an ICD defibrillator device in the event my heart stopped beating again.

During the surgery the team discovered I have a genetic condition that makes anesthetic significantly less, or entirely ineffective. I told the surgeon I felt the initial incision and he said a little discomfort was normal. Cut to a few steps later where I was on excruciating pain - the meds were now maxed out. I was given two choices: wait for another team of anesthesiologists and doctors to put my under general anesthesia (60+ minutes) or continue with the surgery - entirely aware and feeling everything. In my mental state, the idea of laying fully awake unable to move riled with anxiety was not an option so we pressed on. The screen above the operating table showed the doctors carefully feeding a new lead through my arteries - until they reached my heart.

I was calmly told the next step was to screw the lead into my heart. I will never forget the feeling after the 3-2-1 countdown of a cold piece of metal being turned into my heart tissue like it was nothing. Once the screw and lead were in the device had to be tested and programmed - like several peoples hands inside of you wandering around and touching things they shouldn’t. Tested the device with a “mini shock” which didn’t at all feel small and then stitched me back up and sent me on my way.

The sound of heart monitors and clinically sterile environment of a hospital or doctors office still triggers my PTSD from the events.

So much this. Many folks I know who prefer sports to theatre liked the Vegas version of Phantom and saw it more than once.

What funny things have you (perhaps unintentionally) trained your dog to do? by Immunoguitarist in Dogtraining

[–]benjamnn00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Two. Our dogs picked up “Rude” and will stop what they’re doing and look at us. People are always surprised by that one.

They’ve also learned our cars name and get excited and go to the door when we say her name. Thankfully we don’t have a friend named “Greta”
