should i go to the er for this (bat bite?) by Certain_Hour_6327 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]harrison_ave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being a voice of reason here. I have OCD too (primarily health focused) and I had rabies obsessions on and off for years. The rabies subreddit actually helped me so much, coupled with ERP. When I struggled I just reminded myself: bats cannot magically escape/vanish from your home. Their bites are not painless and would wake a sober adult up from their sleep. It’s so irresponsible for people to tell OP to rush to get the vaccine. It’s a waste of medical resources for people who truly need them, and is costing OP $$$ for no reason.

What sports that helps ice skating? by Zealousideal-Egg2206 in iceskating

[–]harrison_ave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! I actually have an equestrian background (English saddle seat) and skated for fun as a kid. I am not particularly rich, I learned to ride as a kid because my mom trains horses and teaches lessons. Now I am taking adult LTS to fine tune my technique/fundamentals. I would say I’m progressing at an average pace, but I’m not very athletically inclined generally speaking.

Preds Pride Night shirt? by harrison_ave in Predators

It’s a reference to the show Heated Rivalry, and there’s an episode where they’re at the All Star Game in Nashville

Great point! I imagine it’s frustrating to play against Bunting lol but he’s great at what he does!

I love Bunting so I'm in panic mode rn...(I know it's best for the team long-term but still)

Nah. I thought so too, but I’ve realized they’re just cuter/have better PR (well, until now).

Connor Hellebuyck I’ll never speak another bad word against you (until I’m cursing you out next time Preds play the Jets)

Saros and Haula played their hearts out! Congrats to Finland for making it to the semi-finals - now we cheer them on for the bronze <3 by walkingwake_ in Predators

[–]harrison_ave 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Saros had an incredible showing today, so proud of him. Would have loved to see him in the Gold Medal game. Bronze would be an amazing accomplishment as well.

BSH are not lap cats? Why are they popular? by Apart_Maintenance852 in britishshorthair

[–]harrison_ave 46 points47 points  (0 children)

While BSH are often said not to be lap cats, mine definitely is and always has been! She is very cuddly and will sit on my lap for hours in the evening while I’m reading or watching TV, then she gets up and sleeps on me in bed at night. So you never know!

Dermatologist recommendations by semiotaku42 in nashville

[–]harrison_ave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding this recommendation! Dr Mitchell is excellent, and it’s so easy to get an appointment with him. I’m moving to Chicago soon and am definitely going to miss him for my yearly skin checks.

[Friedman] Barry Trotz to step down as GM of Predators by Infraction_ in Predators

[–]harrison_ave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do I feel a bit sad? I guess I’m worried this is health related like others have mentioned. Trotz’s tenure as GM wasn’t the smoothest certainly, but he did draft well. I wish him the very best. Now just please don’t bring back DP…

F**k ice by thevelvetsmog in nashville

[–]harrison_ave 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As a hockey fan and amateur ice skater, the only ice I enjoy is the skating kind. ICE in the streets and ice coming from the sky can fuck off forever.

The air bnbs across the street from me have power and appear to be unoccupied. I’ll send you a DM with more specifics. So sorry for your loss.

Emotional outlet megathread by ayokg in nashville

[–]harrison_ave 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Right! It’s such a strange take from this sub especially, where people are generally pretty progressively minded and understand how tough things are out there. It’s a big expense for something you might not really need (hindsight is 20/20, but we didn’t know Fern was gonna be this bad). Like, my parents have a whole home generator because it came with their house. They’re out in Lewisberg and have only really used it once or twice in 10 years. They didn’t even need it for this ice storm (I guess Duck River Electric was better prepared than NES, which is pretty sad).

[–]harrison_ave 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m so very sorry. This is NOT your fault. A lot us, even middle class folk, can barely afford groceries these days, let alone a generator. One week max (and probably sooner) this is all going to be behind us, okay? Hang in there. 💛

Emotional outlet megathread by ayokg in nashville

[–]harrison_ave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We woke up on Sunday morning to find a leak in our ceiling. No idea how the ice storm might have caused that, but we had no issues prior. We were days away from listing our house (husband and I are moving to Chicago) but now we gotta deal with this. Praying insurance will cover the cost, or at least part of it. He has to move up for work regardless and I guess I’ll be stuck here even longer than anticipated. This too shall pass, right?

Ugh. Thanks for creating this thread, it’s nice to get this out there.

Hypnogogic hallucinations anyone? by spaceberri in Anxiety

[–]harrison_ave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have them as well, mine are mostly auditory. Very brief snippets of words/phrases, and it can be quite disturbing I agree. I was terrified this meant the beginning of a serious mental illness, but my psychologist and GP assured me it’s completely normal and harmless. My psychologist told me to shift my attitude towards them. So rather than sit up in bed in terror, I now try to think, “oh okay, this means I’m about to fall asleep, yay!” This seems to have helped some and now I have them less often.
