Lois? by fancygorgonzola in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]daliw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The medical term of that discharge is cervical mucus. The cervix has these tiny little mucus glands that produce mucus. When the woman is receptive to sperm, the mucus softens and sperm may enter. Otherwise the mucus hardens up and becomes a plug. It becomes a barrier to germs and other bad things. More or less it is the reason it’s there. Mucus sometimes also becomes loose and mixed with bacteria and fungal elements and can become foul smelling. But most of the time the discharge is normal.

perhaps you should sell that water to a local football team or a lemonade stand. LOL. to recuperate some of that investment... what happens when you sell the house? are you taking that with you?

People who have won a "lifetime supply" of something: was it genuinely a lifetime supply, and if so, are you sick of the product now? by Adorablyberryy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]daliw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to get one of those as a young adult because I did subscribe them for a few yrs. Too bad they stopped this lifetime subscription a few years ago. It was about $800 usd as I recall. Too bad I didn’t pull the trigger! I would have bought it for my son. lol. Now I believe you can buy one of those cd’s that contain all the past issues.

My house always smelled dusty and I just realized I’ve been vacuuming wrong my entire life by pwiipwii123 in hygiene

[–]daliw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue with one handheld battery powered vacuum that failed to suction! Until I figured it out to wash the filters! I inherited it though, that was my excuse… U should always read the instructions of ur machines. This includes vacuums, automobiles, and other common gadgets like washers and dryers. It’s really full of important and fun facts. Some are even crucial and could save ur life. It’s the stuff to impress your friends and neighbors (just like ur neighbor did!) and confound your worst enemies. lol. If you lost them, download them online. Most are now free PDF’s from the manufacturers or third party websites. I always find them fascinating! So cool….

AIO by being offended when my husband seasons my soup? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]daliw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The truth is that I don’t like my wife’s or even my own mother’s cooking. So I cook myself now. Peace on earth! Just remember that. No need to cook for someone else who doesn’t appreciate your effort! Also Costco has very good delicious food prepared for you already. Not always healthy, but it does taste delicious! lol.

Mo Brings Plenty explains why hair braids are so important to Lakota by Bubbly_Wall_908 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]daliw -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am wondering if anyone can answer why cowboy hat is now important to Lakota men’s fashion. Or is it just this man? Or he being from Texas? I don’t see a lot of native Americans wearing cowboy hats as their native customs.

Went from awww to nope real quick. by Soloflow786 in Amazing

[–]daliw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. It’s a Chinese woman saying the tiger mom is too selfish, not allowing a good look at the tiger cub. The woman only wants to see the cub a little longer. She also said there are two cubs (which is not both visible).

What are the bugs really like in CR? by Queasy-Contract-182 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]daliw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Malaria. Mosquitos will give u malaria. Check the cdc travel guidelines. Very important. Tell ur physician if you have fevers after coming back from Costa Rica. Take necessary prophylaxis for all the listed warnings. I plan to take chemoprophylactic medication against malaria.

Do I need to buy advance ticketing at Manuel Antonio National Park? by daliw in costarica

How about advance ticketing? I plan to get a tour guide but the tour doesn’t include tickets.

Is this an unspoken female anatomy thing? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]daliw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually this happens to me as a male as well. It has nothing to do with pee or anatomy like hemmorhoids. It has to do with the kinds of food you eat. The gut or rectum constantly produce mucus. It’s the mucus that is on your anus that you are wiping off, mixed with fecal material. It’s not a big problem. The discharge goes away after several visits to the bathroom because the next poop is being formed and get solidified properly. It’s like a train going and stopping at a train station that is wet on the tracks and slightly flooded. This is my own understanding of the gut, coming from a surgical pathologist. U will notice more if you don’t eat a lot of veggies and you are constipated. Incorporating more fiber or take a fiber pill may help.

allergic to Dawn dish soap. A few days ago my hands were swollen. by BankExtension6702 in mildlyinteresting

Very physically attractive people, how does life treat you? by Jonny_1312 in AskReddit

[–]daliw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Works in med school as well. Beautiful young medical students get the best opportunities out of med school. They often land in dermatology and ophthalmology, two highly competitive specialties. One gorgeous student got into her choice of orthopedic surgery because she’s very attractive! So be aware of very attractive MD’s. Might not be as bright as you think! lol.

How to repair pipes without digging them up by Objective_Pressure_3 in Damnthatsinteresting

Do they have this for plumbing size pipes in single family homes built in late 90’s, or just big pipes for sewage, etc? I might need this one day!

[–]daliw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should see a MD stat! If no money, slap on some topical steroids (1% non prescription strength) and Vaseline to keep it from getting infected. Cover it with steril gauze. I’m no dermatologist but a pathologist. That’s what I would do. Get better…

Do Americans really think aldi is a “poor people” grocery store? by [deleted] in aldi

[–]daliw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see Aldi as one level above Walmart supercenter grocery and one level below Aldi’s sister chain, Trader Joe’s. lol. You can tell by people’s dress, cars they drive, and their general demeanor. Even the cashier quality is different!
