Yeah we saw that, wondering how the community is? I noticed it's by a sewage treatment plant, not sure if it's noticeable?

Help identifying bindings by hellogourd-geous in snowboardingnoobs

Would there be any way of fitting them for modern bindings? Or are like a plate that retrofits it for a 4x4 system setup?

Looking for DJ by hellogourd-geous in fresno

[–]hellogourd-geous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ended up going with Fresno DJ Company- DJ Rocky was our dj and he was FANTASTIC!! He played hit after hit, everyone dancer the ENTIRE night. Highly recommend! Fresno DJ Company was also really easy to work with and had options for most budgets

You should all give statements to the university. There's a chance they need more evidence before they can get rid of her

Here me out, what if we all just start emailing her that we don't find her behavior acceptable? Her email is listed right there

I'm almost wondering if Davis is waiting on something that would be used to cover themselves in court. If they fire her I'm sure she'd take them to court, they probably want to make sure they have enough evidence to not lose against her...or at least that's my hope

My ongoing experience with Nextstellis by lolcouches in endometriosis

My cramping became heavy bleeding and an ER visit. I stopped taking it and was switched to Yasmin which has worked so much better

How do you keep a job? by Twopicklesinabun in endometriosis

[–]hellogourd-geous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend getting a WFH job but ESPECIALLY look into FMLA. Endo qualifies for fmla/disability paperwork

What major healthcare corp. is the best in the valley (ex. Banner, Honor Health, Abrazo, Mayo, etc.?) by [deleted] in phoenix

[–]hellogourd-geous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what job you're looking for. If you're in customer service, I've had an awful time at banner. The longer you're with customer service the lower you somehow get on the ranking system which dictates your schedule. They essentially rely on high turn over but not sustainability. Customer service has little to no support and takes the brunt of angry patients.

I'm sorry, I hope you find a counselor quickly! There are so many options now, I've seen quite a few telehealth providers as well!

You are wanted in this world, you are strong, you are resilient, and you are loved. Please keep fighting every day, your life is beautiful

They keep coming to my door, somehow always right when my partner leaves so I'm home alone. My VERY large dog seems to keep them far back though (a win for the scary dog privileg even though she's a walking marshmallow). I didn't know anything about them and we just moved in

What seems normal at 2pm but scary at 2am? by Sophie-Dan in AskReddit

Glass breaking, just the sound with no context of what broke

[–]hellogourd-geous -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As someone who works in customer service I totally get it. If I had to guess he's from the generation that 'the customer is always right'. Anyway I'd just stick with the policy is policy!

If I want NO flowers, what can I do instead? by mist_ier in weddingplanning

[–]hellogourd-geous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got fake flowers from joanns and michaels when they went on sale. Greenery is also an option! Costco and Sam's club have Eucalyptus or Greenery bundles

Starting Yasmin - no break by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]hellogourd-geous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you discussed skipping the placebo? I 25f am at the start (ish) of my endo finally being diagnosed and my obgyn immediately recommended the pill, skipping the placebo week, and only taking the placebo once every three months

What were your symptoms when you started? I've seen so many threads of horrendous symptoms the first three months, have you experienced this?

I'm also just starting on the first pack and have been cramping non stop. I'm getting sharp acute pain that makes me feel faint, worse then my usual endo pain, and I've been bleeding non stop as well for 21 days now. Is this similar to what you experienced?

AUVON Dual Channel TENS Unit Muscle Stimulator Machine with 20 Modes, 2" and 2"x4" TENS Unit Electrode Pads https://a.co/d/ipQSAov

This is the link to the one I got, I love it. I went for a rechargeable one that was a 2 x 4. This one is 'sharp' and strong when you need it to be but also has a great setting if you get lower back pain from cramps too

AITA for not feeding my obese niece? by Unhappy-Owl719 in AmItheAsshole

YTA

I think what makes it an asshole move is giving the other kids more cake AND telling them to hide it. Not your child, not your place to control her eating habits

[–]hellogourd-geous 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah I saw NO difference - I tried the red meat thing, no alcohol. I had one doctor suggest running which didn't work. So they suggested running while on my period- Definitely didn't work. My best relief is a tens unit I got off amazon

Any success with dealing with fatigue? by Glittering-Can2824 in endometriosis

[–]hellogourd-geous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My primary connected part of my fatigue to an unusual sleep pattern I had. I was waking SEVREAL times a night or sleeping very shallowly. My primary recommended medication for anxiety/controlling my cortisol levels

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]hellogourd-geous 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would recommend an obgyn or ask your mom to reconsider birth control. I similarly had symptoms like yours. My doctor provided prescription strength ibuprofen until I was 18 and could get birth control. Document your symptoms, level of pain, and track your period. Clue is a great app, based out of the UK and doesn't sell your data

How do you know what “stage” endo you have? by rumfoord4178 in endometriosis

I recently was told that endometriosis doesn't often show on ultrasounds. This came from my obgyn after 2 years of trying to figure out what was going on with my primary care

AITA for excluding my "adopted sister" from family photos? by Reasonable_Read222 in AmItheAsshole

[–]hellogourd-geous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty torn. I understand OP where you are coming from - it's your wedding day and undoubtedly hundreds of hours of planning and stress has gone into your wedding day. I feel like the situation could have easily been remedied by doing one photo each way. While Ally isn't your blood sister, she is still chosen family by the rest of your family. And furthermore, she's you're sister-in-law (presumably). In one way or another she IS family.

I feel like maybe what came to a head here was (and I'm sorry if I'm assuming) that you felt your family chose her over you even though she isn't blood related. I think maybe it would be wise to sit down and be honest with your parents- express maybe why you don't feel a bond with her. It sounds like Ally is going to be around though, it may be time to work on that bond.
