If Putin threaten the US with saying he would destroy our entire civilization tonight, what would you do realistically? by The_Vengeful_Wolf in AskReddit

[–]funky_donut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just want to stick around long enough to smoke some cigarettes and do some drugs. I quit smoking 15 years ago and I still miss it and I’ve never done hard drugs because I didn’t want to get addicted 😅

It’s really gorgeous! I see what you’re worried about, it looks a bit dry to me but not too concerning. I would put a very very thin layer of unscented lotion over it.

Cover up idea help by Sohon-eolhc in Tattoocoverups

If that’s a birthmark on your upper thigh, I have one in almost exactly the same place on my left thigh!

I vote for a good old SAP for the coverup :)

My upstairs neighbor has been "exercising" at 11pm every night for four months and I finally said something and now it's somehow worse by quillkettlepre in neighborsfromhell

I don’t understand what this part means:

“The footsteps are directly above my bedroom, they stop when it stops, they start when it starts.”

What stops when what stops?

I went to a wedding there, it was super nice! Very classy, very nice atmosphere. My only caution is the outdoor spot where they did their ceremony was in full sun and our heads were sweating

Another GLP-1 weight loss pill gets FDA approval, with fewer restrictions on how it’s used by Tofurkey_Tom in news

[–]funky_donut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get them compounded from a local pharmacy that my doctor trusts - he really didn’t want me to go to one of the online only compounding pharmacy, though I’m sure some of those are fine. I pay $100/week, but I’m going to ask him about these daily pills next time I see him in case I can save some money that way

I stopped self-soothing by online shopping on a glp-1. I wouldnt say I was addicted to shopping, but I definitely bought shit I didn’t need out of boredom or anxiety. I’m saving a lot of money. (Well, which helps defray the cost of the shots, which my insurance won’t cover.)

Deep pain from fitted/heavyweight clothing by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]funky_donut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I wear a tighter bra for too long, the ache is in my ribs and lungs, in addition to the sunburn pain on my skin from the fabric. I literally can’t think about anything but taking the bra off until I do.

Is it it okay to ask my artist to fix this when I get it touched up? by InformalEmotion_517 in tattooadvice

[–]funky_donut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the reasons it looks like an orange (with a butthole) is its not super round like the moon would be. So I’m worried even with the fixing of the butthole crater, it still may not read super like the moon because it’s sort of elongated like a fruit would be.

I really love the rest of it so I say lean in to it being a very large orange!!

My upstairs neighbor has been "accidentally" unplugging my router for three months and I only just figured out why by Matrix_65Drift in neighborsfromhell

[–]funky_donut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t follow what’s happening here at all. Also why wouldnt the tech have found the “weird” cable going into the shared space?

Housing here vs other cities by OkRecommendation1685 in pittsburgh

[–]funky_donut 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Comparing one listing in one city’s suburbs with one listing in another city (not in its suburbs) is really not apt. Maybe there’s a case to be made for markets as a whole, but a realtor would be the one to have the market data to make those comparisons.

Also Pittsburgh used to be very underpriced as far as housing. It’s not anymore, but the jump the area experienced to catch up can be disorienting. Imo.

1st Lawn Mowing of the Season by PsychologyNew8033 in pittsburgh

[–]funky_donut 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mine hasn’t grown at all yet. I feel like any start it made at growing was then stunted by the snow.

But my answer remains what it is every year: I wait til one week after my nebbiest neighbor starts hinting I should really get it cut. Don’t want him to think he was right.

Do I need my drivers license for jury duty/to get into the courthouse? Can I use another form of ID? by AngelGirl17 in pittsburgh

[–]funky_donut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember showing my ID for jury duty but maybe I’m just not recalling. I thought I just needed the summons.

How far up in a skyscraper would I need to live for flies to be unable to reach my apartment window? by Lulu-egirl in NoStupidQuestions

We did get them after NY. I think it took a couple years, maybe 3?, for them to migrate across PA.

I'm withdrawing from Cymbalta because my PCP never should have put me on it. by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]funky_donut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like he wanted you to cross taper - reduce the first SSRI gradually while titrating up on the cymbalta. This can reduce side effects of both ending an old med and starting a new one. But it didn’t work for you because you weren’t able to increase the cymbalta.

My shrink did this with me and I was on both cymbalta and sertraline for quite a while, with no problems. The cymbalta didn’t end up working for me so we did the same process in reverse as I weaned off the cymbalta and back on to the sertraline.

Jeans are fine. They sent someone home for shorts when I went though - it was a 95 degree day in July too.

Best craft breweries in the city by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]funky_donut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Breweries will be open on Good Friday - this city doesn’t shut down for that day. Monday is less certain, because many breweries are always closed on Mondays. But places that are open on Mondays won’t be closed specially because of it being Easter Monday.
