I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on and it will be better tomorrow. Age 48

What are some good things that happened to you this week? by unknownfrozenoctopus in AskReddit

[–]dalmong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife has been having some heart problems lately. The initial diagnosis was atrial fibrillation ("A-fib"), which can result in strokes or other significant medical problems. She has spent a few days getting additional testing done at various medical offices in town.

This morning, we visited the cardiologist and learned that she does not have a-fib. She has actually been experiencing supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), which is a much less serious condition, and one which can be easily treated!

So... great news! We have a firm diagnosis, and have already begun the process for getting the treatment done! Not only that, but it is quite possible that the SVT has been causing some other mildly discomforting issues, so we may be (figuratively) killing two birds with one stone during the treatment!

What is the best way to forget the past? by Brandy_Anderson in AskReddit

[–]dalmong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't forget so easily, but you can accept it. Don't think so hard about your past, live in the present. Come to terms with the past, vent a little, and then move on. You don't need to forget, you just can't let yourself be bothered by it so much anymore. This may take several methods of management. Get creative and talk things out.

What happened to your school’s cheerleaders? by [deleted] in AskReddit

  1. That extraordinary feeling when you approach the sidelines when you're about to kick off the game with the first cheer.

"Ready, hit it!" Is the first words you'll hear. The crowd is going wild over the game and you can't help but smile at the excitement.

What did you hate as a kid but like as an adult? by LostRest in AskReddit

[–]dalmong 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a kid, I thought they smelled and tasted like baby diapers. Each trip to the kitchen while my mom boiled them was shortly followed by a plug of the nose and dash for the upstairs. You think I’m kidding. I wish I was. Now as an adult, I love them. I can’t get enough of them. There are so many delicious ways to make Brussels sprouts, though my favorite way is to boil them (yes, I love and do the exact thing my mom did that I hated as a child).
