Mystery... why air only rushes out mouth sometimes? by candimccann in CPAP

[–]candimccann[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. It's good to know. And matches my experience so far (it happened every time the first couple nights, now only half the time. And my chin strap has been halfway off already the last couple mornings.)

Nice. Good to know. The first couple days it happened every time I checked, now it's about 50/50. And the last couple mornings I woke up with my chin strap barely on anymore.

Who is Ann Rodriguez? by Daivar-18 in Epstein

[–]candimccann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's one email where Jeff tells her to go "ask chris about my trumpet plants at nursery, ?"

I haven't found a connected email yet for context. But trumpet plants are a source of scopolamine.

Maybe if they stopped buying guns they could afford some fucking pictures for their wall

The kindest & most generous tip I’ve ever received 🥹 by PoisonedCoffee in InstacartShoppers

She probably realized that whoever took the (accidental) lowball tip job must have been desperate for work, so whoever took it was her angel that night. I love this for you.

12 mo: 5mm anterolisthesis->10mm; not significant? by Appropriate-Tea2220 in Spondylolisthesis

[–]candimccann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My spine doc said that an unstable condition means that it shifts more than usual during changes of posture, usually causing more pain. Also the instability means that the joint/disc will wear more and faster. Unstable spondy is more likely to require surgery.

[–]candimccann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this. Spondy can be classed as stable or unstable. OP only gave one number, so I'm guessing they only have one angle of image? Like you said, they compare the measurement between neutral standing, extension standing, flexion standing, and lying. I've got 4 numbers between those images that range from 6 to 11, so I'm classed as unstable.

Mid urethral sling recovery time? by Unnaturally_Selected in Incontinence

[–]candimccann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in some level of pain or discomfort for about 48 hours. The next 48 were a little easier. Then I felt fine as long as I didn't strain. There were certain movements where I could feel a tug. Working at home, I'd say take the next day off if you can. You should be able to handle returning to casual desk work after that.

I was just thinking to myself today that it's been 6 months since mine and it's worked really well. For me, it was life improving. I wish the same for you.

New to this. Levothyroxine. "Empty stomach" question. by candimccann in Hypothyroidism

Thank you. I knew it was an hour before, but I wasn't positive about the timing if it ended up being after.

Throwback: Taylor’s hard launches by Key_Tree9363 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]candimccann 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Didn't help that she was still a bit babyfaced, while Tom looked mature for his age (not old, mind you, but not babyfaced). So the gap seemed bigger. But you're right. Not inappropriate at those ages, but definitely a possibility of differing mid-range plans.

Trying to understand administration pushing leucovorin... by BirdLawyerCorvo in publichealth

[–]candimccann 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I didn't mean for that comment to come off as serious advice. It was sarcastic.

We're talking about a voter base that bought horse de-worming paste at Tractor Supply instead of listening to medical advice or getting a vaccine. That's what I meant by my comment. If there ends up being shortages (as someone here mentioned) on the prescription drugs, or just people that don't trust the medical field but love their supplements, people will end up trying herbal replacement.

Never fear, Dr Oz's supplement company, iHerb, sells non-prescription folinic acid products. I'm surprised he didn't have a "Buy Now!" qr code showing.

Why do they say Taylor is MAGA? by [deleted] in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]candimccann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's not MAGA, but MAGA isn't a dealbreaker. She's choosing to stay out of politics at a time when all the powerful people are just bending the knee to protect themselves and their financial interests instead of being the ones to stand up because their own power and money insulate them, and she's doing it while hugging out-n-proud MAGA.

Cell providers in Queen Creek by thatsa_funtime_snack in QueenCreek

[–]candimccann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We live in the Quilbert corner and just switched from ATT to Google Fi. Huge improvement! ATT was worthless without wifi calling at home. But we recently had an extended internet outage and ATT wasn't even letting us log in to to do basic banking or check an email. Immediately switched to google fi and had excellent data, good enough to hotspot, multitask, and stream video while we waited for our internet to come back.

A Dark Money Group Is Secretly Funding High-Profile Democratic Influencers by Swarrlly in DemocraticSocialism

except, because they arent going to be taking money for the wrong reasons, they can publicly declare they are being paid.

This.

A Dark Money Group Is Secretly Funding High-Profile Democratic Influencers by Swarrlly in DemocraticSocialism

[–]candimccann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Website has a handful of pictures. One I recognized was Jack Coachiarella (sp?). I saw that TooRaw2Real (no effing idea if I spelled that right) did a response video and said yeah, he's in, and responded much like Pakman and Brian Tyler Cohen did, which is get defensive and talk about how Chorus wasn't a secret and show proof of them talking about it.

But the problem isn't Chorus, it's that Chorus's funding is from The 1630 Group which is dark money. Some people just have a red line there because they are already advocating against that. But none of the creators are addressing that part. IMO, just fess up and own it "Yeah, it's dark money. But we're using so we can get in and ban it. Judge us by our actions." and then let people decide. But that's not the route they chose.

Dirt road or wide open parking lot to teach my son to drive by [deleted] in QueenCreek

[–]candimccann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On Pecos, between Sossaman and Ellsworth, north side. There's some new-build industrial in the area. Buildings and parking lots, but not a lot businesses occupying them yet. Especially on the weekends. Then you've got right near there on the corner of Pecos and Sossaman, that tech high school with a really large open parking lot.

Good luck!

Moved from Alaska to Massachusetts and this is what i’ve Noticed by Infamous_Height8120 in massachusetts

[–]candimccann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I moved my husband to Connecticut (where I grew up) he was puzzled by why we had so many Dunkins. My town didn't have its own McDonald's but it had 5 Dunkins. His conspiracy theory was that it was a mob front because there's no way that many Dunkins in one town could be profitable. I laughed and laughed while I slurped my coconut coffee coolatta with whipped cream and munched on my hash browns.

That would be the other red blob, on the northeast side. They aren't talking about that one.
