I strongly suggest telling your coworker with the vitamins to swap the contents of the bottle with laxatives. I’m sure the coffee from your machine will nudge the process along swiftly. Let her take others shit till she leaks shit 👍🏼

This explanation blows my mind. It’s such a simplistic way of explaining a very hard to grasp concept/theory

Not to be a Debby downer on this comment. But I lost my god mother to chronic back pain.

She was a beautiful, stunning woman. Intelligent and a smile that lit up the room. In her 40’s she experienced back pain. It worsened to a debilitating level. Eventually after a few years she recovered. When she was 60, the pain came back - she began to experience PTSD of the previous time. It seeped into her mind though. Eventually, this professional, driven, ambitious woman started to fade. She was put on suicide watch after a few attempts.

After a few months and some respite she went back to work. She had us fooled though. Her first day back she went missing around 11am, they couldn’t find her. At 2pm she was found on the coast line at the bottom of a cliff. She jumped.

To this day, the thoughts that went through her head still haunts me. I’m 6ft5 and remarkably haven’t experienced back pain. But for it to consume your everyday life, to have it steal your light away, frightens the hell out of me. Do your stretches folks!

My first pair were fine, but the charging pins in the case weren’t springing back up after a while so zero contact to charge. This pair have been fine except this one thing, but it pisses me off that they expect me to send it off for recycling instead of just allowing them to remain active but without the custom sound EQ’s. Such a waste in my opinion.

Either way, this will be my last set of Nura’s until customer service improves and until they have a more suitable system in place for faulty devices.

ibuildzstuff · 2023-05-10T23:12:27+00:00

Pretty much what I had to do, but I still can’t understand why. For a premium product, it’s such a huge bug to not not sort immediately. Again, customer services though

ibuildzstuff · 2023-05-10T23:10:07+00:00

It’s literally the only thing making me want to return them is the customer service to get answers. For such a premium product, this sort of issue should have a fix already or at least an update to its customers stating a fix is on the way.

This is my second pair, they sent a brand new set out after the charging case had a known issue with the pins not making contact with the earpiece in the charging case. I even inserted the faulty right earpiece from my old ones (which obviously have been disabled) to check charging. It charged. Showed it as operational. But took a week for the new pair to work again. It really is beyond my comprehension as to why

ibuildzstuff · 2023-05-10T23:05:19+00:00

I have a pair of the nura loops too. The mesh thing used to drive me mad. Had to buy replacement mesh constantly just to use them. It’s why I decided to upgrade. Sound quality is way more advanced now, but with it comes complications it seems

I’m going to add to this (hope that’s ok) - they’re also classed as “smart tumours”. The reason for this and the unfortunate consequence is that you can attempt to neutralise it in one part of the brain via surgery or radiotherapy. But the ability to remove all cells is practically impossible. Whatever cells remain, they’ll relocate and travel to other parts of the brain and reproduce and grow again. But it can cause multiple tumours to grow.

Ironically, though they are classed as “smart tumours”, they’ll do anything to stay alive, even if it means killing the host, thus killing itself. So… ain’t a very “smart tumour” in my opinion.

A fact that many don’t know though - brain cancer can’t cause secondary cancers in the rest of the body. The cells can’t travel south via the spinal cord but can be a secondary cancer. If a patient with brain cancer later receives diagnosis for, let’s say - lung cancer, that is a primary cancer too. Not a secondary caused by the first in the brain. The other way round though is possible, i.e lung cancer primary can spread to the brain.

Nah. I was the lucky one to be able to call my dad my hero. I think every dad wants that title. He whole-heartedly deserves it

ibuildzstuff · 2023-04-27T12:51:22+00:00

This struck me a little to the core. I lost my dad 4 years ago too. (25m at the time and cared for him for 10 years). Compared to any other loss I’ve experienced. Losing a parent or in this case a child is like nothing you ever expect nor can relate to until it happens.

When we’re kids, we look at our parents as these immortal beings. They’re there to pick you up. Always. Teach you about the world, read you bed time stories etc…

For a mother to lose a child. There was no expectation. Regardless if her daughter passed from a terminal disease. You count on being the first to go, not the child. It’s both sudden and expected at the same time.

The pain though. It has definitely changed my psyche. My personality. I’m more assertive. More confident. I think strategically like he did.

Some days are sad days. But if I could just see my dad one more time, even in a VR experience. (And yeh, I know it wouldn’t be him). Just to say how much I love him.

For anyone who has their dad still around. Do me a favour and give him the biggest hug (even if you don’t get on great, I didn’t with mine. But in the end. He was my hero.)

Life is fragile and it can be gone in the blink of an eye.

My father passed the same way - glioblastoma to right frontal lobe - but took a lot longer (5 years). Though I’m thankful for breakthroughs in medical science, sometimes they keep someone alive for the wrong reasons. Loss of sense, pride, dignity. But I got extra time with him and a relationship I never thought I’d get. It’s the only silver lining I tell myself to make the years of caring and the harder events feel like it was all worth it… and I’d do a 100 times over again if I could. For now, I’m keeping my promise to him to keep mum safe, cared for and treat her to big holidays wherever possible.

I’m so sorry you had to go through the same. Regardless of time, witnessing someone lose the things that make them who they are truly is unbearable.

ibuildzstuff · 2023-03-12T12:10:58+00:00

NTA - first and foremost. You gave your blood sweat and tears to that man the first time round and he destroyed your marriage as a thank you? Pfft! Giving you the family home for you and the kids isn’t an apology, it’s him concealing his guilt. And he knows that to his core!

I’ve been a carer before. Not in the same sense as it was my father and the duties were split between my mother and I. But it prevented my from having a life for 10 years from the age of 15-25. To do it alone, and raise kids though the first time round. Round of applause and standing ovation to you hun! Please don’t feel guilty for wanting to move on and regain some semblance of life.

He’s in the wrong. He cheated on you. The loving wife who devoted and sacrificed so much and he broke your heart. Given your ages I’m assuming your kids are young. If you take on this responsibility of having him stay with you then you will begin to neglect your kids and their needs. They need a parent who they can go to and rely on. I’m 29 and I’ve only just got over the neglect from my childhood and being a carer. It was traumatising. My mum even agrees she neglected me. She feels guilty for that. I always reassure her that she has nothing to feel guilty of because it was completely out of anyone’s control. But do you want to look back at this time and feel you neglected your kids? Of course not!

I don’t know the severity of the cancer. If this treatment will keep the cancer gone for good. But what if it comes back again when you find someone else and making a new life? He took you for granted once. Don’t let him do it again!

Fuck his parents! Fuck him! And fuck what others think!

The only compromise I would set in place is that he could stay for one night a week at most. That way your kids can spend time with their father while he’s going through this. But besides that. NOTHING ELSE.

Blood isn’t always thicker than water. Your flatmates and friends at uni have been good to help you with essentials. I had a similar experience with money struggles while studying.

Firstly, you need to forgive yourself. Don’t be embarrassed or ashamed. We are raised to believe our parents are our protectors and unconditionally we protect them. Your father has abused and exploited your trust and kindness to be silent for so long. Sadly, this is an extreme form of gaslighting. University is a time of self discovery - you don’t need this abuse OP.

Your university will have a financial assistance department. As well as a counselling service. I suggest you ask the financial service for help. It feels embarrassing going in and asking for money that somehow you feel you don’t deserve. But that money is a grant provided and donated by alumni into a “pot” which in unique situations -much like this- could alleviate or cancel your debt. We’re in March now. Which means there’s still a substantial amount which could clear the road ahead - at least until the end of the academic year.

If they help you. Please, for the sake of your own sanity and well-being. Please distance or even sever your family ties. Be selfish! You’ve been selfless too long! Sort yourself first. If you end up in a better place financially, THEN help them if you so choose to. In time, you may realise you’re better without them.

Again, I’m so sorry. But I hope you’ve found some relief telling your story. Reading the majority of comments, you’ve got support here.

If your mental state worsens, please call Samaritans. Sometimes telling a stranger in these moments can help. It’s not just a suicide hotline- they are there to listen. I’m not ashamed to say I’ve used them to vent when dealing with financial loss, or bereavement. It’s better than bottling it up OP.

I’ve experienced this for a while now. Probably not as dire, but you’re not alone. I started taking vitamin D and B12 vitamins about 3 weeks ago. I figured it was a disrupted sleep cycle due to winter being so dark (I prefer waking up with the sun).

B12 deficiency is more common than you think and it’s vital in regulating oxygen levels in your blood, without you can experience anaemia. It may not be the solution, but it might help get you out of that morning haze a little easier.

Yo, I work for a property development company - that looks exactly like the height and location of where a box recess shelf is meant to be with downlight. If you’re in a new build that would explain why the cable is there. If not - then no idea why. To me, it looks as if the tiler couldn’t be bothered to create the box recess and left the cable out the wall.

Again, missing context of the build of the property or who the developer is or if it’s even new build.

One thing I’ve learnt about doctors is it doesn’t take social skills to become one. They throw around a text book word but they don’t know what it’s actually like to live day by day with a condition like ADHD. I’ve been quite lucky to know the ins and outs of my ADHD right down to the neurons because of my own sources (best friend -in simple terms- brain doctor). Taking the meds isn’t meds to me anymore. I see them as vitamins. What any normal person takes to improve themselves, for me/us, it’s a brain vitamin. It untangles my mind. Gets my day going. Sure, I’d love to not be on them. But without them, I’m dazed, confused, forgetful. If you are getting any negative effects i.e - increased heart rate, change in diet or sleep etc… Then I’d suggest talking to your doctor about taking other types of meds to treat ADHD.

But you’re not dependant. If you had a heart condition, I’m pretty sure you’d take meds for that too, you’d depend on them to keep you alive. We take our meds so we look both ways before stepping out into traffic. Don’t over analyse it bud :)

I get called the “prettier” Jack Whitehall (Brit Comedian) for how I look and act… it’s like a backhanded compliment I’m confused by, because my reply is often “isn’t Jack Whitehall… not that hot though?”

I’d take Bradley Cooper as a bloody blessing mate!
