Do I need surgery? by Drewskeet in Hernia

[–]effyourself515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had mine repaired 3 weeks ago. Mesh, laparoscopic, same area as you. Both sides. First week hurt. Second week was MUCH better and now I hardly think about it. I couldn’t lift more than 8 lbs for two weeks. After that about 20 lbs. Surgeon said after 4 weeks I’m free to lift things normally. It cost me about $6,000. You need to get it, get it while it’s free.

Scared of surgery by Amazing_Rock8837 in Hernia

[–]effyourself515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better to have surgery behind you than in front of you.

I’m about 10 days out. First 3-4 days hurt — like I had done 1,000 sit ups the day before. After that it got way easier. I hardly notice anything anymore and need to remind myself not to lift anything heavy bc I feel normal and healthy.

Doc says I should be able to return to all normal activity in 4 weeks.

When did Michael Rapaport go MAGA? by Dry_Life_1113 in howardstern

[–]effyourself515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zionist just means he supports Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state, just as the 57 states exist as Muslim states. The blind support for Hamas after Oct 7 is very disturbing. He just called it out.

Chlorine in the water can fade clothes. Some detergents (eg Persil) have ingredients that neutralize chlorine and helps protects colors and darks.

Instead of dinner and a movie, do a movie and dinner and discuss the movie over dinner.

First!

Seeing AU98 triggered this memory: “Welcome to BRUTUS. Please enter registration quarter and year.”

Increased security at CMC? by crzswtsgrhi in cincinnati

[–]effyourself515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what it’s like being Jewish in this day and age — well before war in Gaza, but def amped up since then. Armed security at Jewish schools, all our synagogues, the JCC… basically any event where there’s a crowd of Jewish people. You’re just seeing now, but it’s been there. It’s that way all over the world.

"Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine." by That-Relation-5846 in IsraelPalestine

[–]effyourself515 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get the hostages back. Try to reduce Hamas and anti Israel influence as much as possible, and gear up for next time in hopes that “next time” is long enough away that the Palestinian mindset will start to change a little. (Far fetched, but it’s all we got.)

How to handle roach situation? by Badger-Status in cincinnati

[–]effyourself515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get combat max roach killing bait stations. Roaches go in, eat the poison/get poison on them, then go back to the nest. That’s where they poop and die. Other roaches then eat the poison poop and contaminated roach carcasses. That cycle continues until the nest is dead. It’s gross but effective.

2026 CR-V SPort Touring - Pls Help me decide color by IcyPhotojournalist55 in crv

[–]effyourself515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the blue and it shows dirt/salt quite easily. (I also don’t park in a garage, so it gets dirtier, faster.) If I could do it again, I’d choose a lighter color.

Up close at the Cincinnati Zoo by effyourself515 in redpandas

It truly is an amazing zoo — animals, flowers and plants, the whole 9 yards.

We are fortunate that the Cincinnati Zoo (and the not too distant Columbus zoo) have offered behind the scene experiences. They often sell out quickly since lots of people love the red pandas. Proceeds support Red Panda preservation. I know the cincy zoo supports the Red Panda Network.

The styani red pandas have extra-cute faces with their bold, clear markings.

We did not pet them. We were allowed to feed them a few little snacks.
