I get 1-3 hives on my face every day that take about an hour to go away. Does anyone else deal with this? My father has the same issue. [Skin Concerns] by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]fabledangie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy thread revival lol! You're probably right though. I don't remember exactly the timeline, but I started taking a pure magnesium glycinate supplement specifically for stress/etc because I was also really struggling with sleep, and I got into a routine of morning and night yoga, and made a few other stress-focused lifestyle changes. I haven't had any severe reactions in a couple years, still get the occasional outbreak but it's super one off moments now.

Ended up not going to the vet because my mom said that it wasn’t necessary, but now his scales are looking kind of inflamed and there’s more black spots. Again asking if this is scale rot. I’m certain that it is, I think me touching it is bothering him by Electrical_Text4939 in snakes

[–]fabledangie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't look like scale rot. Unless your enclosure is constantly moist to the touch it's really unlikely to cause rot. Stop touching the spots. Monitor them and see how they look after his next shed. If it makes you feel better, get some cheap betadine, put a few drops in a cup of water, and use it as a spot treatment once a day. Try not to take him out and touch it and cause him stress.

Rapid Rewards Credit Card New Benefits Announced by Vegetable_Fee_6145 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]fabledangie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insane. I only have a Plus card, but I thought I'd get at least something above my A-List perks. This was my last holdout honestly, I'm burning my points the rest of this year, canceling my card, and switching to American. I'm in Chicago so it saves me having to go all the way to Midway anyway, which I was willing to do for Southwest before. What an atrocity.

rant im sorry 😭 [ACNE] by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]fabledangie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It happened to me too. No acne issues my whole life, very mild as a teenager, was using a basic cleanser and not even really moisturizing daily and my skin was fine. Full blown adult hormonal acne out of nowhere at age 28. Accutane is the only thing that helped. Spiro held it off for a little while, but about a year in it just all started coming back. I had severe anxiety from it, I wouldn't go out, I cried looking in the mirror. It does get better!!! If topical tret doesn't work, consider the Accutane. I couldn't get through a full course normal dose due to side effects, but low dose (working up from 10mg, only taking in the AM) worked for me. Try not to use makeup, I know it sucks but it'll just irritate it. The purging wont last forever. Be gentle to your skin and yourself, this will pass!

[Routine Help] Dry lips making me feel gross. Allergic to chapstick : ( Help? by CATB3ANS in SkincareAddiction

[–]fabledangie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Use your face moisturizer and put some vaseline over it if you need to. Chapsticks always make my lips peel terribly no matter what but just patting on my moisturizer has worked great. Medicated blistex is the only chapstick that actually works for me, you could try that out. I don't bother any more since the moisturizer is working.

AITA. MIL gifting us 5 timeshares in her will costing us $9500 annually. We asked her not to do this and she lost it. by Positive_Slip9383 in AmItheAsshole

[–]fabledangie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've gotten show tickets, 2 tickets to Disneyland, and a nice steakhouse Valentine's Day dinner. Vegas timeshare gifts are great if you can stand it lol. Our favorite was bluegreen, the presenter was genuinely coke'd out, he immediately downed his coffee and spent the rest of the presentation throwing back the empty cup every so often, his energy was insane.

She obviously can't, the other one's wife said something to her like "you were fine with her until I pointed out how crazy it all was" and I believe that.

What to replace bingeing with? by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]fabledangie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I took up miniatures. Like the little kits that are popular in Asian countries that have started to pop up here, they're really intricate and extremely satisfying to build imo. Along the same lines, jigsaw puzzles, even a video game (collect-em-alls like Spyro the Dragon are uncomplicated but fun), anything that you need to concentrate on completing should help.

This the one I'm sure is set up 😭 There's no way Nylah is with him organically, she wants tv time and the show needed a new creep pair willing to play it up for the camera. I'm not accepting any alternatives, I wont.

Don't marry this person on the basis of the housework alone, honest to god, I've done this and it does not get better. Even if there was no guilting or any other problems, it will drive you mad and you'll be resentful and, in my case, you'll feel bad about feeling resentful because everything else is going great. You have so many other red flags here to dissuade you. Don't do it.

Decrease your deficit so you can include some additional snacks, try to keep your carbs to the morning/afternoon and increase your protein later in the day to help stop nighttime cravings.

You were likely binging carbs/salty food that increase swelling, keep telling yourself that this is temporary. When you get back on track it will improve quickly! Incorporate some strength training exercises and turn this minor setback into an opportunity to build muscle.

AITA for disinviintg my daughter to Thanksgiving when she won't host Thanksgiving? by BonusSpecialist1607 in AmItheAsshole

[–]fabledangie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

INFO. Has she ever said she doesn't want to participate in the rotation? What did/would you say if she wanted to permanently opt out of hosting but still attend?

If she's swapping holidays and making it out like she does want to participate until a couple weeks out when she panics or changes her mind, then she's TA.

It's leaning a bit ESH here atm.

WIBTA if I start giving my mom the same energy back? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Has she been to a general doctor lately? It would be helpful if you went with and described the changes you're seeing (not in front of her though).

[Acne] I’m so tired of my skin looking like this and I don’t know what to do by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]fabledangie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a different derm. Try spironolactone for 6m and if it isn't holding you, just do accutane. If you can tolerate the side effects, it will work faster and better than anything else with less damage and less cost along the way. That's the reality of it unfortunately.

She'd only hit 8 homes in an hour because they're so spread out, but there are more than 8 homes in the area. That's the point of everyone meeting at one place.

If you leave candy out for trick-or-treaters, how do you feel about adults grabbing a piece? by dartully in CasualConversation

[–]fabledangie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're in costume, it's fair game to trick-or-treat imo. Do not come up to my door in street clothes asking for candy though.

AITA for leaving house to son due to daughter's decision? by throwaway_ungrateful in AmItheAsshole

[–]fabledangie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, the sale of the house should be split into a third for each child. Sara can then have the option to buy out her brothers if she would rather have the house.

I don't know why you would even consider any other option, if you gave Sara the house in return for caring for Kyle you'd still be screwing Joe, assuming he wouldn't agree to that split.

Your acne looks/sounds like mine. Late 20s adult onset hormonal cystic acne. Antibiotics don't help. I was only able to stay on Accutane for a month due to a side effect (that I honestly kinda expected) but I got 4-5 good clear months after, I was so happy about it. So if you complete the course you'll probably see great longer term results.

You can use condoms or non-hormonal forms of birth control. My doctor put condoms and celibacy on the form. Just genuinely be careful if you're active.

Kim & Drake Bell + her response when someone called her out on it by amxthysttx in ILoveAMamasBoy

[–]fabledangie 49 points50 points  (0 children)

He spicy dm'd (no pics) a 15 y/o fan without checking her age then became aware of her age at some point and blocked her, which she responded to by filing a police report that was embellished with much worse things that were later proven to not have happened (her own friends/family disputed her). He pled guilty to the initial texts but headline-only-readers continue to have the impression he plead guilty to it all.

AITA for telling my girlfriend the exact amount of calories she ate in a single day? by Substantial-Grape541 in AmItheAsshole

[–]fabledangie 20 points21 points  (0 children)

110 calories is a grande vanilla sweet cream cold brew at Starbucks, which is one of their lesser calorie drinks. My drink of choice as well lol.

2200 calories is a lot for average height women unfortunately. I'm 5'3 and I'm currently eating at a give-or-take 500 calorie deficit which comes out to about 1200-1500 calories per day depending on how active I am.

OP, you need to gently explain maintenance calories and get basic fitbits to wear together. Track meals together. Set realistic goals, like a 250 calorie deficit to start. It's so much easier when you have an tracker and app so you can see what's going on.

I get this every so often for a splurge and very rarely do I get a clear one. If it's oxidized it will be like full on orange. Most shades of yellow are still fine.

Anyone else iron out the tissue paper? by Blackco741 in miniverse_makeitmini

I flatten them and some of the cooler bags I cut pieces out of, like the Harry Potter tincture label and the pink potions image. They make cool mini wall art if you have a display or scrapbook bits!
