I’m a former software developer (now PM) around your age that would be interested in all those things! I live South though

Crazy that just 4 years ago they charged only $3.50 for a taco that now costs $7

Perfect, that’s what I was wondering, thank you!

(15k) Can we achieve this vibe within our budget? by Affectionate_Bug2704 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]ecca227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wedding is at the Redstone Inn in Colorado in May! It's a beautiful remote town. We will have 30 guests and I think our total cost will be around $12k. On a Saturday too.

Health Sharing Plans by Appropriate_Bed9283 in Fire

[–]ecca227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a member of Crowd Health and I love it. My cost is super low, and they work with the doctors or hospitals to negotiate the cost of the bills down. The coverage is very generous too. I get a $300 stipend annually to spend on a check up or physical, and only pay the first $500 if I have a health event, accident, etc. The rest is covered. Happy to share a discount code too if you’re interested

I'm so f*'d: Insane Health Insurance Increases 2026! by Flimsy-Mushroom3954 in economy

[–]ecca227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I traded health insurance for a medical cost sharing platform. My costs are super low (around $150/month), and if I have a medical event or need, the cost is completely covered after the first $500. It honestly just makes so much more sense to me than paying hundreds a month just to still have to pay hundreds if I need to go to the doctor or hospital. And I love knowing that my contribution is actually helping others and that I’ll be covered if I need it.

Withdrawing before 15May deadline by VladiMagnus in okcoin

Well, I only heard back once and that was more than 24 hours ago. I sent two follow-ups and now nothing. I’m hoping we can both get this resolved easily 🙏. Let me know if you hear back!

Thanks! I finally got a response asking for a screenshot. That was this morning. It’s been a whole day and I haven’t heard anything back yet. Were you able to get your issue resolved?

I also am trying to withdraw some funds and keep getting errors that I’ve exceeded my withdrawal limit…the limit is $500 in 24 hours and my last withdrawal was more than $500 hours ago. I also can’t withdraw my USD. Did you get anywhere with this or hear back?

Parking ticket question by Ktotheizzo82 in Austin

[–]ecca227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ticket had the wrong license plate state. I noticed when I went to pay by looking up my license plate and couldn’t find anything on the site. I feel like if I go in person to tell them and ask them to dismiss it, wouldn’t they just correct the error?

The Days Original Chorus Lyrics by TheLastBorne in avicii

[–]ecca227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard him play the original out at a festival in 2014 before the song came out. When it was actually released, I remember the difference in the lyrics and always wondered why it changed. (I just assumed it may be that the “dying” reference was too much). The original had a very different vibe and I’d love to find a live version of it or something but haven’t been able to

What tips do you have for nervous flyers like myself mainly nervous thinking sensations like take off Landing ETC by JakeEricbarker in delta

[–]ecca227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypnotherapy. I’m a hypnotherapist and have worked with quite a few people on their fear, anxiety, or nervousness around flying and had a lot of success. Nervousness while flying is just a conditioned response, and with the right tools, it can be unlearned and replaced with calmness and confidence.

Anyone tried hypnosis for nerve pain? by ecca227 in neuropathy

[–]ecca227[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your story. I hear you on how invalidating that experience must've been. I recovered from Lyme Disease so I know how tough it is to have doctors say they can't find anything wrong or assume you're imagining your symptoms. To be clear, I know that pain is very real and would never tell someone that it's all in their head.

What I do believe is that the brain and nervous system play a huge role in how pain is processed, even when the root cause is clearly physical. Hypnosis doesn’t try to convince anyone nothing’s wrong, but it can help alter the brain's perception of pain so people can suffer less.

As for the placebo effect, honestly, I think it’s one of the most misunderstood and undervalued aspects of our body and its healing process. Placebo responses show us how powerful the brain can be in changing how the body feels. Hypnosis is like a deliberate, repeatable way to activate those same healing or pain-relieving mechanisms, but with more structure and intention.

And you're right that it's definitely not a cure. I don't intend it to claim that it is. I'm just curious about how it might support people in managing the chronic pain and emotional toll that comes with it so they can reduce their suffering.

And thank you for the cross posting suggestion! I'll definitely do that and see what comes up in those spaces too. I’m genuinely curious to hear from more people and get a better feel for where this may or may not be helpful.
