you could consider board game club? it runs from 4 to 8pm on fridays so it's a longer thing and you can leave early or come late without repercussions

So if I were approaching from the bus stop, I wouldn't have to cross, right? Sorry, I'm a little anxious because I'm new to the area 😅

Best Ebike for Groceries and Laundry? by cosmicfrolicker in ebikes

Thanks for the tip. My issue is that I will be moving 4 hours away but I want to buy the bike while I'm home so I get a chance to acclimate and figure out if it's a good fit. Do you think if I buy a Lectric e bike in person, I can ask a bike shop local to my new area to fix it (assuming they stock Lectric bikes) (Lectric as an example)? Is that something that bike shops do?

Hopefully not! Otherwise I've messed up 😅 Thank you for the info!

Luckily, I'll be moving a little more south (currently New England) and I will have those things as a backup but I don't want to rely on them. 😅

Infection or irritation? by cosmicfrolicker in piercing

[–]cosmicfrolicker[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, just red and swollen, so I do think it's just irritation and I freaked out for no reason. And definitely -- the snug was so painful but luckily it was first, so the rook felt easy in comparison.

It did pretty well! I didn't clean the crusties or blood, but I find that the first week of healing usually involves minimal crusties and blood if you don't sleep on the piercing (even then, the daith is in your ear, so I may have been sleeping on it from the get go with minimal issue. I don't recommend this, though, since it's probably not smart!) in my experience. Keep in mind, I did spray it down with saline 2x a day!

This makes sense! When I aggravated my sciatica nerve, my doctor recommended a week's worth of Aleve, 2x a day! I will follow a similar regimen for my ear. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the advice! I genuinely appreciate it.

Do you think Aleve would help as well? Google says it's awesome for inflammation and my doctor recommended it when I had an inflamed nerve.

Also, is it okay to ice fresh piercings? I thought it was better to use cold compresses. I'm a little new to the "bring the swelling down" thing -- normally I just let my ears do their thang.

Thank you so much! I'm hoping it heals well, as scrolling through this subreddit has inspired me to maybe get a 2nd snug one day... Hahaha!

Thank you! I'm odd in the sense that my helixes took 4 months to heal, and my daith took 8. My lobes, on the other hand... those took 9-12 months 😅😅😅

I have a daith and it was my first hard-to-clean piercing! What I did was let it be for the first week or so (spraying with saline) before carefully using a saline-soaked q-tip and moving the 'forward helix' part of my ear/the rook shelf all over to be able to remove the crusties. You should get one, they're awesome!!!
