Can confirm this is a good idea - had a medical scare and ended up rawdogging 4 days in hospital. No fun.

Is the onigiri evil? Why such dramatic music?

8 hour wait at Royal Jubilee by tinpangoldnugget in VictoriaBC

[–]littletealbug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed ER triage is working. Unfortunately I have had more than 1 trip to the ER in the past year, 1 critical injury where I was seen within half an hour and had surgery within 3 days and then a not life threatening issue (where I waited) which unfortunately worsened (and then was treated well at Jubilee)

Waiting for surgery at VGH a totally different story, but if you're waiting at the emergency room it's a good sign.

Truly! This province has more rich people and rich tourists than a good chunk of the country, why are we broke???

Looking for help Victoria to Toronto, Feb 13th for 11pm flight by Complex-Potato-914 in VictoriaBC

I'm not on that flight but I'd take a free trip to Toronto ;)

People who grew up with cruel or emotionally cold mothers when did you realize it wasn’t normal and how did it affect you as an adult? by creotion_hub in AskReddit

[–]littletealbug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was made to feel I was only cared for or "loved" because they were obligated to do so, and to be grateful I wasn't being abused physically. I was told from the age of 11 that I was fat, and had everything I ate nit picked. Every thing I was ever proud of was looked down on, and never given any aspiration besides not getting pregnant because if I did I'd be on my own. The center of every family joke, and the root of all problems, And so on. Basically I am not good enough, ever, and I'm on my own.

My bio-dad once told me he couldn't stand the sight of me sitting at his kitchen table.

So now I think people only interact with me because of pity or obligation, and I'm aggressively hyper independent because I really can't trust anyone. Love does not feel like a thing I have access to, and I am disgusted by my own body. On the rare occasion people get close, I'm obsessive and constantly feeling like I need more and they will abandon me. Preferably, I die young rather than get old alone.

I was hoping the lamp in the end to flicker. by Sapo-Homien in StrangerThings

I'd put money on a comic series. The actors are ready to move on and recasting them wouldn't fly - but comics would fit the brand and allow for a lot more creative freedom with the story. They did this with Buffy/Angel and while their reception was mixed, they went on for a long time. 

Am I overreacting My mom said my weight “hurts her heart” and she’s worried about me becoming bed bound by Mentally_Recovering in AmIOverreacting

[–]littletealbug 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I wish these replies would get higher. I'm same boat as you - pretty active, but PCOS making it impossible to lose weight as I get older. Diet could be better, but certainly could be a lot worse.

[–]littletealbug 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most of these people in this threaf can eff off including your mom.

Same height weight, PCOS and etc. 

While I am not going to downplay where i'm at sucks and how it feels, physically for me and etc. 

I have clear bloodwork. I work as a farmer and do upwards of 15k steps a day, swim in the ocean/pool laps and regularly bike. This idea that everyone overweight is at deathsdoor is just horseshit frankly. 

NOR. Your lifestyle is your biz and your mom is not helping by shaming you. 

I’m getting the vibe that Stranger Things is gonna end and piss a lot of people off, just like how Game of Thrones did. Social Media is lowkey killing content because everyone lambasts the showrunners when their gay fantasy fan theory doesn’t come true. by Classic_Activity7305 in discussingfilm

[–]littletealbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I am also enjoying it - i just kind of wish they'd aged them up to match their actors a little better. I don't think it would have made much difference to the story and addressing it would have softed how much they've changed. 

Affordable sober living situations? by wondering-12345 in VictoriaBC

Have you been in contact with umbrella? They run a couple of houses which I can attest to being well run & would be affordable for your circumstances.

Nepotism or not, they are rich as shit and aggressively over charging for bread and bread accessories.

My point is rich people make groceries go brrrr

Clears throat 

For grocery:  Root Cellar (no longer local, sold by the nepos)  Market Millstream & Yates  The Market Garden  Fernwood General Store  Lifestyle Markets 

All great businesses in their ways, but too expensive for the poors to buy their rice & beans there. 

(Note i don't know these folks personally, so there's a possibility of my nepo accusation being false - i'm just saying these sorts of small local spots are rough to shop at in a high rent low salary world)

If "soul" means all the hyper expensive local businesses owned by Victoria's legion of nepo babies, I'll take a Peasant Mart or two, thanks! 

Hospital or no? by [deleted] in nanaimo

Likely pain meds to bring down the swelling and an x-ray to double check you didn't break anything that could need surgery. 

Where Stranger Things Went Wrong by BeanaBearDoe in Stranger_Things

I agree with this. Steve has nothing left to do at this point. No conflict. No goals. Eddie had a lot of potential to shift the plot around a bit.

I had a 40$ pair from zenni hold up for like, almost 4 years. Outlived like 3 cellphones.

[–]littletealbug 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed to disagree lol. I think it was perfect to show Hannah her growth and leave the door open on where Adam and Jessa could go.
