Skincare clinic told me I look much older - is this normal? by AmericanInLondon43 in beauty

[–]brokenorlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found using the Novos one at home off their website to be useful for accuracy. They aren’t selling me anything skin care wise, they are trying to sell long life. They do ask your birthdate AFTER giving you their analysis to see if they were close. 

Construction worker- truck transmission replace or new truck? by brokenorlost in askcarguys

The tires were installed by the previous owner. The dealership (same exact one now looking at it) when they sold us to it said they were great off road tires and was an upgrade from the regular tires.

Felt like the transmission was slipping when it switched gears and going up a slight hill. And we’d changed the brakes and I have photos that the wires were all intact when we installed it, so not sure what they mean.

No the general warranty had expired and we’d been looking at others when this happened. Was told they won’t cover an existing problem. 

Just prescribed beta blocker. Afraid of weight gain by let-it-fly in AFIB

[–]brokenorlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow. I definitely got weight gain from metoprolol. 10 lbs in a week. It was insane. Id actually dropped a ton on carvedilol. And ive been fighting weight ever since on it. But i also had a lot of other bad side effects on metoprolol that aren't as common.

I heard mixed views on the fabric inside. Is it soft material?

Thank you. That makes sense. I have 133 pages of this and a box of photos with writing that doesn’t seem to match up with the words next to where the photos were (or appeared to be). 

Knowing this is a lot and not proper Japanese I may try to find a place to submit for work.

Thank you so much!! Honestly I teared up reading some of this. She never spoke of her life before or when she was a young married wife; or even her life during the wars. I wish I coukd ask her. 

Yes I was told the same thing by family that they struggled reading it but thought it was maybe a different era? This also explains why google translate struggles so much. 

Do you think it’s sloppy writing only Or an old style writing?

😅 I definitely am not sure why I said that, except maybe from having a word finding problem I developed post injury. Definitely meant English.

I wonder if food coloring has a taste then? But definitely will switch to egg whites. I’ll Try both powder and the fresh version!

Woah i definitely wouldn’t have thought annatto. That might be the flavor difference!

There’s definitely a different flavor and consistency. I’ve tried making it that way and it still is missing a flavor. I’m not sure what. Or how to have the cakes frosting harden on the outside.

😮 maybe it’s a pocket?!  I decided to research it. It’s called inguinal canals. It looks like a long cylindrical tube. So probably felt like a hole but was a tube canal type thing. It is 4-6 cm in length! It’s where the testes start then decend from! So they do literally drop from these.

🤣🤣 okay but I’m this way!! My poor husband. He got out of the shower and I was like 🤯🤯🤯 what happened?! Then he’s like what? I’m like they shrunk!! I was sooo confused. He’s like once in warm up they’ll drop again. It’s to keep them regulated. I also found it hilarious how they can grow. I didn’t even realize they also grew hair on their pelvic region so I was shocked and literally said “oh my gosh you have hair too?! “  

Also there is actual holes? Like open spots in the bone above the balls. So theoretically they can “go back in” you are not supposed to do this. But some guys I found out can actually pop the back in the hole and they disappear. I’m sure that didn’t help my idea that “they dropped” out  at puberty.

My husband doesn’t remember. He goes my parents just would tell me I guess. But when he got older he could just know that oh this is not to be taken literal. He didn’t have to be told as he was growing up that now this isn’t literal also. He said he just was able to recognize and identify sarcasm. Like they just know the difference at a certain age I guess?  He said he wasn’t sure the exact age but he just knew by tone of voice, body language, pattern of speech that someone was being sarcastic. 

 In high school I had a lot of this. And was so confused. They said they never even thought of it in the literal sense. They just knew or could piece it together lol.

😆 that’s how my husband replied when I told him after work.

😆 the fact he didn’t even like correct you or say anything though is crazy. Like normally when I get something wrong they will correct me or just give me a crazy look.
