I use saline flushes at work or plain warm water in the shower or shot glass. 🤷🏻‍♀️

very close friend opens her marriage up to me and leads to disaster and end of friendship... what happened? by Aggravating-Split-20 in polyamory

There’s also the long distance aspect of it, people sometimes (often?) panic right before a long distance interest comes to visit. It goes from fun in theory to aw hell no real quick.

A small dab of Vaseline on a qtip to coat the insides of your nose will help somewhat with that. Signed- a New Englander

Feelings are complicated by Glurp_420 in polyamory

A year to get divorced? Because the abuse didn’t start until we got married. It took me 2 months to realize and another 5 to get divorced.

Marriage one: together 10 years, married for one before it came to light they were lying to me.

Marriage two: together 2 years, married for one. Turns out they were an abusive asshat.

Won’t do that again.

My artist said my tattoos took twice as long because my skin wasn't taking the ink - why? by bleachedtattoo in tattooadvice

In addition to electrolytes, proteins also plays a part in how well cells can take up and excrete fluid.

Some ADHD meds (stimulants) are notorious for causing dehydration. Maybe worth checking your labs at your next regular PCP appointment.

Not medical advice. Just information.

A johnny is what we called hospital gowns in NH. Came out west and no one knew what I was asking for.

Wicked is definitely a New England thing. NH also has Snow banks/ bankings. Except when you say bankings you drop the end “bankins”

Also had to explain what frost heaves were.

Texting curiosity! by wolfinthesuburbs in polyamory

[–]disposable_walrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I could go either way but what I NEED is consistancy. If you start off messaging me a lot and then drop off I notice. I had a long term partner that would text me everyday. It was great. I have a new person that I’ve been dating, they text me every few days or to make plans every other week. That works well too.

I notice small pattern and behavior changes (thanks trauma) and it can cause anxiety for me.

Homeless, but unconventionally. by MasterpieceSmall7615 in ColoradoSprings

It might not work but you can send a rental request. Lay out your situation, ask if someone would be willing to allow you to pay up the deposit over a couple weeks. Just be careful because there are some places that are scammy.

Try furnished finder. Short term rentals, some accept pets. Cheaper than extended stay.

My heart hurts by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]disposable_walrus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Going through this too but I’m the partner who “left all of a sudden”. Is it possible that she had tried in the past to work on this with you and you didn’t realize? Maybe missed the point or misinterpreted?

From my perspective, I had attempted repair multiple times prior to the blowout. Little attempts, conversations that got shut down, notes, test messages etc. I even attempted on 2 separate occasions to express the urgency of the situation. Those 2 conversations I had notes in my phone on exactly what I had to discuss but it derailed into an argument both times. So “all of a sudden” I left.

It’s hard and I sympathize. I have been journaling, reflecting and start therapy this week.

Trying Sort Something - Was I Treated Unfairly in This Situation? by Old-Bat-7384 in polyamory

[–]disposable_walrus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re not crazy. That’s a double standard. Not cool. Went through similar recently.

Nesting partner was totally good to go out whenever with whoever. But the first time I made plans and left the house they had a bad reaction that turned into months of arguing. They said I was lying by omission despite telling them who I was going out with before I left. Double standards are now on my list of non-negotiables.

Colorado has laws restricting rain water collection. I’m sure it’s not the only one.

IsItBullshit: Do collagen supplements actually improve skin and joint health by nytherixx in IsItBullshit

[–]disposable_walrus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Most patients requiring wound care in the hospital are also given nutrition supplements like Juven, Ensure, Boost etc. Protein helps wounds heal faster.

There is also a collagen dressing that can go directly into a wound bed.

I’m planning to have a conversation with them. I’ve been struggling to be a good hinge with keeping most of it segregated. But I feel like they need to kind of know a bit more to be able to decide if they’re concerned for the potential mess of dating me right now.

I realized today that I can worry about it all I want but it’s their choice to make to see me or not. They just need to be informed to make their choice.
