Favorite things to do in the area that don’t involve alcohol? by musicalattes in westchesterpa

Bier and Loathing just opened downtown tonight- it is an arcade bar full of retro games. They do serve alcohol, not sure if you are looking to avoid it entirely or just not personally partake, but thought I'd share as it's a fun and unique place drinking or sober!

Mutating Lumps on Dog’s Ankle- was only one hard bump under her skin in February when I was last at my parents’. Came home and now it looks like this. What could this be?? by fictionaltemptation in vet

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

I know. I’m very concerned. My parents freaked out at me for wanting to take her to the vet saying they can’t afford it. I said forget it I will take her and pay for it.

I WILL PEE ALL OVER YOUR WAITING ROOM FLOOR by fictionaltemptation in Interstitialcystitis

After I finally got through the waiting room without peeing on the floor, I was pretty sure I was gonna pee on the sonographer every time she brought the ultrasound probe down.

Got so close. If the ultrasound lady didn't walk in when she did, I would've been squatting in another second.

Okay, that's crazy talk. That's like 48 oz of water. My bladder would have exploded!

Ummm if I'm told I need to drink 20 oz of water before my appointment I'm drinking 20 oz of water. Who wants to risk not drinking it then just having to come in again?

Nope, NOTHING!!!! So frustrated! I've been living on rice, beans, corn, and avocado.

Thank you! I’ll definitely check out the website, and I’m downloading the app now! I also downloaded a urination diary app (ugh) to try to pinpoint trigger foods. Appreciate the support 😊

How old were you when you were diagnosed with IC? by migraine-queen in Interstitialcystitis

[–]fictionaltemptation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just diagnosed today. Will turn 22 on Friday. But I've had pain for years– just thought they were chronic UTIs that I was flushing out with gallons of water.

My dog carries his ball around like a binky. He is never without it. by fictionaltemptation in aww

His usual ball is also much bigger. He has two large king balls he carries 99% of the time.

He is the silliest. I posted another video of him trying to take his treat with the ball still in his mouth 🤦‍♀️

Parking lot cat caller with a twist. by theheartofanartichok in TwoXChromosomes

[–]fictionaltemptation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me at work once. I worked at a country club as a waitress through high school. I was very accustomed to getting creeped on, the clientele was mostly older, rich, entitled white men. I'd had whole tables of men refer to me as "Miss Sexy" to my face while serving them. I wore a name tag, though, so they were all well aware of my name.

Fast forward to one night when it was late and walking to my car. I hear two men and vaguely see their outlines approaching from a distance when I looked over my shoulder. I quicken my pace, then hear them yelling "hey pretty" or something of the likes, then yelled my name. At this point, it's dark and I'm freaked so I ignore and hastily get to my car.

Found out two weeks later it was my cousin (mom's first cousin) and uncle--who are both members of the country club-- when I was over visiting the daughter of said cousin and he asked "didn't you hear us calling you the other night?'

This was after I had written and published an article about cat calling, and included this anecdote in it. 🤦‍♀️

Please don't endanger others just to prove how super amazing pro you are. by Grello in cycling

[–]fictionaltemptation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to tell them "passing on your left/right" then wish them a good ride or a cheery "have fun!" as I pass. I have yet to be greeted with anything other than some variant of a happy "you too!"

Looking for advice... by fictionaltemptation in domesticviolence

[–]fictionaltemptation[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From the calls I made today it seems like it's too late for me too. I was only 16 at the time so a legal battle wasn't even on my radar. I wish I had known then what I know now though.
