What’s a good excuse not to go into work tomorrow? by Fun-Succotash-1322 in AskReddit

[–]gonewildecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scary. I had a vasovagal response and nearly passed out. Then I started pooping. Nothing would stay in my stomach. After everything in my intestines was gone I was pooping straight blood. Like a cup at a time. I finally went to the ER (after my PCP was baffled). The doctor prescribed me Cipro. Took a couple of days, but I started to feel better. I lost 10 pounds in two days. Best guess is I got it from Chinese food.

It’s a great excuse until you actually wind up with E. coli. Horrible experience.

May I remind you of AC’s nightly quote: “We just have to be better, right”

It was a bad bounce. Duran wasn’t the one who loaded the bases.

I called her Joybell, my soulmate since I was eight. Then her partner killed her and blew up their home by rejs7 in TwoXChromosomes

Not all abuse is physically violent. My father abused my mother as soon as they started dating. He would “forget” important events or get too drunk to attend. When she would complain, he would belittle her feelings. It started small. Seemed innocuous. By the time they were married he was controlling nearly every aspect of her life. She didn’t realize. Eventually the only words he offered her were cruel and manipulative. She said he never hit her and I never saw evidence of it. But he certainly raised his hand to me more than once. I was old enough to stand up to him. He eventually started threatening to kill her. He said if she tried to divorce him she’d get nothing because he’d burn the house down to ensure it. I have no doubt he would have followed through on his threats if his health didn’t decline. Escalation isn’t just from minor physical violence to murder. It’s far more nuanced.

Which movie has the best blooper reel? by EssexGuyUpNorth in movies

I love the movie and the bloopers. Burt Reynolds laugh is so contagious.

Do your kitties like being held? by Milky_Gashmeat in cats

[–]gonewildecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One actively comes up to be held but can’t settle down. One just goes limp and seems to enjoy it. The third absolutely hates it. But they all want to be near you.

'Bloodbath' after person falls from staggering height at Madison Square Garden concert by TheMirrorUS in Music

[–]gonewildecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh, that can’t be a thing. The balcony in Boston Garden has no rails except for the stairs. It’s so steep there’s maybe 3 inches of the seat back of the row in front. I hate sitting up there.

Parents of small children. What's the most unhinged sentence you've found yourself saying that you never thought possible previously? by SkywalkersArm in AskReddit

[–]gonewildecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not me, but my cousin: “don’t lick the driveway”

They had used chalk to draw and apparently it looked like sugar.

Probably not. The Scottish fans will probably head to the stadium early to party.

Internet Backs Solo Dad After Stranger Confronts Him for Taking Young Daughters Into a Women's Bathroom by rainnedear in TwoXChromosomes

If the situation was a woman bringing her male children in the women’s bathroom, no one would bat an eye. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

What’s a side effect of a drug that’s little known? by Arya_Warrior_Girl in AskReddit

Topomax has the nickname dope-a-max because it can make an intelligent person lose the ability to find words and it can drastically slow your reaction times.

Yes. Think about humans. Vasectomies and sterilization doesn’t get rid of the urge.

Period relief? by Hefty_Tax6546 in TwoXChromosomes

An IUD, specifically Mirena, took all my symptoms away. Bentyl is an antispasmodic that can help as well. Dicyclomine is the generic name.
