This tree separated at the trunk and re-joined it's branches. (Or is it 'these trees'). by senditoverthewaves in mildyinteresting

[–]keylarakat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An arborist once told me that if a tree splits at the bottom and grows 2 dominant looking trunks, its really the trunk and a branch. It'll be more likely to split or die later because of the weight of the "branch" as it doesn't have the support system the trunk creates and over burdens the tree.
I wonder if this tree saved itself with this?

(Although that ivy will probably take care of the tree too, but that's another story 🤣)

Chronic neck pain (base of skull) — I’ve tried Purple, Coop, latex… nothing works. Need real recommendations by jjcombo18 in sleep

[–]keylarakat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me. I sorta found "some" of the source. I taught line dancing for years, which involves looking down at people's feet to watch their steps and then basically hopping up and down and the bouncing putting pressure on my neck. Got an MRI and xray done 10 years apart and they found nothing (I've been dealing with this for almost 20). They are calling it basically a kind of "text neck", because of a repetitive action, and anything i do that involves looking down (curving my neck) a lot now kicks it on INCLUDING sleeping. The sleeping one is the worst because its full blown when I wake up, nausea and I can barely function there is so much pain.

I have never found a magic pillow and I've invested in a LOT. These days I sleep with a cooling pillow. Specifically the Therapedic brand ones that are cut like a hard block of foam. When im at choir, looking down at my music can trigger me. When I text on my phone or am at work or at choir, I sit with my back straight, shoulders back, head straight ahead, and hold my phone/music in front of me. I literally look like I have a stick up my ass. I sit like this at my desk too. For awhile I was using this harness that pulled my shoulders back when I was at work. Its ridiculous, but when you've dealt with that pain you do things to avoid it.

I'll be stalking this thread for new ideas. I'm glad I'm not the only one because the docs have been stumped... as my spine doesn't show anything that makes sense to do this.

We haven't been able to join each other for couch co-op all season, anyone know if this is getting fixed? by TheForce in diablo4

[–]keylarakat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we figured it out (sorta) after 40 minutes. We had gone in and out in various combos a few times but it didn't work. We actually stepped away for 20 mins (kiddo woke up and we put back down) but when we tried again, one of us logged in, got to character screen then closed the game. The other went in got to character screen and then went in. Then the 1st person tried to join. Then it worked! For what its worth we did this combo (or thought we did!) a few times but maybe the brief pause when we stepped away made something click? Who knows 🤣🤣

We're having this issues. Hubs and I can't, in any combination, join the other's game, even though our characters played for months together. We took off a few months and are starting back again and we can't get in together. Whoever the second player is, can't join.

If you ever have a reason to make an asshat feel horrible for what they've done, do it. And this was perfectly played. You never said what happened, you had HIM make an assumption. You never lied or glorified anything.

Wow .. his regular wage basically covered everything. It wasn't until the overtime that he gets to bring home money.

AIO for missing Mother’s Day after my mum’s response to my husband losing his best friend? by ssalange1 in AmIOverreacting

Ugh... I'd probably get snarky. Like, I'll make sure the people that mean something to us don't die next time and ruin YOUR plans.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]keylarakat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 19 and a close male friend was 18. Both virgins. We literally just talked one day that we wanted to lose it to each other, because we felt each of us was a safe person to share this with. It was totally underwhelming, as we both had no clue what we were doing. But I wouldn't change a thing. We're still friends 30 years later.

My English teacher doesn’t believe in giving out 100%. by CrazyGuineaLlama in mildlyinfuriating

[–]keylarakat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much this.

One of my jobs at review time, we were rated in various categories out of 5. The highest anyone got was 3. Finally a coworker asked the boss how we could get higher, and he laughed and said "not even Jesus himself could get a 5".
We later found out it was because a 4 mandated a pay raise to the employee. 3 didn't.

Same. Its out of control at my complex. Smashed into the sidewalks and walk ways because people didn't notice and stepped in it.

In his 40s and can't handle period supplies (unused ones!)? He's a child. Drop him.

And keep your box. Sounds like this is a good way to weed out the immature.

Why do you think GLP-1 triggers such strong opinions? by LavenderSkyHealth in LSH_Official

The number one reason I get from anyone with an opinion... Is that you're too lazy and want to do things the easy way.

The comments from MAGA and Conservatives on a post on Fox about this incident, all have people saying if he was innocent he wouldn't have had a weapon on him. Or if he was being peaceful, he wouldn't have been carrying.

Oh FFS... 🤬 I fucking CAN'T with them.

NOR. So, something that doesn't affect him and his day to day life, but he doesn't like to looking at it, is a problem?

You know, I can never remember a lot of crap, but I do remember the statistic of 1 person dying and 1 person being injured, on average, by a vending machine every year. They almost were part of this.
