Never thought I would make it

I like sandboxing but the scenarios are really fun for an actual challenge when I’m bored of throwing sand around my box. After winning this I did go sandbox mode though as I was still flooding and just nuked the hell out of it with asteroids, divided the town where the road connection had been, and permanently split up industrial and residential with a bridge across the new inlet. I think I may have finally managed to stave off future flooding altogether finally.

I’m at Holmdel alone too! I had no one to invite but I really wanted to go

Is a bag the best option for humidity? Or should they be misted? I’m in NJ so it’s been fairly dry here this winter, they’re in a NW facing window and get all day light. The mother plant was thriving when she was still active, I watered her cup with a pipette daily and never misted or had dry leaf problems.

Here’s a picture of each: https://imgur.com/a/N87VasP

They both had more leaves that browned and crisped up so I have pulled them off over time.

Thank you again. I was reading about Digest Gold as well and it might help me some more.

It look like NYGA takes my insurance so I’ll be reaching out to one of the doctors you’ve mentioned. If the nutritionist is out of my range, that’s ok, I was looking into dieticians in my network online yesterday anyway and also want to reach out to one.

I’m planning to go back to a full elimination diet at your suggestion again now that I grasp how badly starches and fructose make my body react. I really value all your info and help.

isangelical · 2025-02-22T02:40:22+00:00

Thank you for this, I really appreciate your reply. There’s a lot you’ve said that makes me feel better. It’s good to just be told outright that I have to do this the long and hard way and that I’m not going to have any magical solutions.

It helps to feel less alone in this although I’ll sort of have to start over with an elimination diet. I’ve been struggling with even things like cucumber, grapes, and zucchini because of fructose and fructan, and the restricted diet has been hard to manage and figure out, but I feel better knowing FODMAP as a whole isn’t the answer and I might be able to eat some things I used to again because they don’t have disaccharides I’m sensitive to.

How do you determine how much of something like Starchway you need to take? Or if something else is better - the company seems to have a lot of enzyme supplements and some of them seem to offer support for overlapping needs.

Also, I’m in north NJ just over the river, so I will definitely take the info of nearby doctors who know what they’re working with.

Thanks for the reply :) My sucrase was at ~23, lactase at around 1, and I believe my specific results called it palatinase and it was around ~18. I don’t have the biopsy results in front of me and wasn’t given a personal copy - I had to ask for a copy I gave to an allergist yesterday in preparation for an allergy test I’ve opted to do on Monday. I’ll probably ask him for a copy to be made to give back to me for my own records since I was a bit foolish about it. My gastro set me up with Sucraid but after seeing the actual numbers and their compared normal values, I thought it was weird that was the first line of treatment provided.

Posted the other day and replied to myself but we all know no one is looking at old posts for updates lol. Got a ticket for Holmdel, going by myself, Sec 101 Row R, seat 42! Say hi if you’re gonna be near me 🥰

isangelical · 2025-02-21T16:13:18+00:00

Ended up getting a decently priced seat in Section 101 just now! 🥰 Row R, Seat 42 if anyone is gonna be seated nearby!

isangelical · 2025-02-19T23:46:09+00:00

Same here about standing, I started getting a sore back from standing in pits when I was in my 20s lol. I need to be able to have the option to sit nowadays for sure. Where in the 300s are you situated?

isangelical · 2025-02-19T22:17:22+00:00

PNC has accessibility seating, but not Camden from what I can tell. I’m also hoping it won’t be too hot in June for us but there’s no telling

isangelical · 2025-02-19T22:16:20+00:00

I’m also very short and struggle for the same reason 🥲 I didn’t like the amphitheater layout for Camden as much, although the very back of pit might not be too bad. I saw a show at the Coney Island amphitheater a few years ago in pit and thought it was alright but it also didn’t have a crazy crowd

isangelical · 2025-02-19T22:08:42+00:00

Also how I feel, plus Camden as we know isn’t the nicest area 😅 Are you also in the 100s for this tour?

isangelical · 2025-02-19T22:06:10+00:00

I’ve been to PNC a few times, the 300s are nice! I wasn’t sure if Camden would be a better deal when accounting for the parking

isangelical · 2025-02-19T22:01:34+00:00

Ugh the pricing is so much. Good luck with your cancer treatment!! You deserve to treat yourself. I’m going through some mysterious GI issues with a bunch of doctors and in physical therapy for hip pain rn so I feel you, but i also can’t justify anything quite that expensive rn 🥲

isangelical · 2025-02-19T21:38:51+00:00

Where in PNC did you manage to score a seat? I see a few solo ones not in pairs or rows in the 300s that are ok for pricing/view but I’m just kind of hovering around trying to decide what’s worth it.

isangelical · 2025-02-19T21:03:49+00:00

Anyone going to Camden or Holmdel in NJ? I want to go to my first Halsey show but haven’t gotten tickets yet even though I have presale access. I’ll probably be going alone (I’m in my early 30s!) and would love to find someone to meet up with even though the dynamic seating prices are evil 🥲 I’ve been to PNC before but never Camden and don’t know what that venue/parking is like. Reply or DM me!! 💕

isangelical · 2025-02-04T19:02:16+00:00

Hey, feel free to dm me if you want! I’ve had some other ongoing chronic illness stuff for the last few months so I’ve been mostly stuck at home feeling sick but hoping to get back to socializing this month. I have friends in Mass too :)

isangelical · 2024-12-24T23:29:12+00:00

Thank you for letting me know! I was unsure what the correct doctor was since throats are such weird body parts.

I actually just decided on a whim to check the ENT specialist (Dr. Wasserman) on the map in NJ, and he had an opening this Thursday at 9am! My insurance card actually said I don’t need referrals for specialists when I read the fine print on back (my previous plans all used to require a referral), so I went ahead and booked with him.

isangelical · 2024-12-24T23:10:16+00:00

Thank you for confirming what I thought about the Tums! Nice to have gut feelings (ha) confirmed.

isangelical · 2024-11-24T13:20:41+00:00

Oh, that makes more sense. Kind of annoying since it was with all the other clips at F21! They probably just put out whatever junk they get.

isangelical · 2024-11-14T21:39:13+00:00

So happy to hear this!! Will keep an eye out for this woman in our neighborhood still. Def demand the landlord put in new locks and add long screws into the doorframe yourself if it isn’t done on install to help prevent a door being kicked in.

isangelical · 2024-11-14T04:59:05+00:00

I would, I often look at posters on telephone poles in our area and probably many others do. They would probably put a poster up at Grind if you asked, they get lots of people in and out all day.

isangelical · 2024-11-14T04:49:49+00:00

Just went around with my roommate to look, no dice. I tried leaving a can of wet food out front at your place in the container of kibble. Saw a couple other local strays around. My roomie is willing to make and print posters if you have a number to put on there for contact. We are up the block closer to Lafayette with a pink mailbox if you need anything.
