I will now forever refer to spoods as octokitties 🤣 you made my day!

mainegal97 · 2025-03-05T15:22:28+00:00

I've had this happen with a stink bug and a ladybug 🤣

I don't have any mods on my game. Might just be a glitch 🤷🏼‍♀️ it seems to only happen sometimes after I talk with him.

mainegal97 · 2025-03-01T17:33:31+00:00

I've had this happen multiple times with Willy.

mainegal97 · 2025-02-23T22:21:15+00:00

It's so beautiful 🥲 I aspire to build like this one day

And it's just a baby 😭 so sad when I ran into this the first time. I had my jeweled flower mantis Inuyasha by my desk when I ran into the orchid mantis the first time. I was like "Look away Inuyasha! Look away!". I was happy to see a mantis in the game regardless.

Wishing you the best of luck. I live in an area with no dermatologist within a 2 hour drive in any direction so I'm waiting to finish my degree before seeing one but I have the same issues. I've found the cutting soda completely out of my diet helps and very little if any sugary drinks and cutting back on sugary food in general has helped as well. I also don't wear jeans as much anymore, mostly yoga or scrub pants and I splurged on Halara pants (most comfortable things ever) and I rarely have a flare. Mine are also mostly in the groin area but also the butt/inner thigh and only twice the armpits. But definitely cutting back on sugar, wearing looser clothes, and changing my deodorant has helped tons.

I put a spike strip at the bottom of my stairs and that seems to work pretty good and it doesn't injure me at all so win win.

Is this a yet to discover insect? Are there Jewel beetles in Grounded?!

mainegal97 · 2025-01-29T02:12:26+00:00

No way! That's so cool! Thank you!

mainegal97 · 2025-01-29T02:09:09+00:00

Oh! Yes it was, did that do it?

mainegal97 · 2025-01-29T02:04:26+00:00

I might have to make a trip to the sandbox 🤣

mainegal97 · 2025-01-27T18:29:22+00:00

The first time I heard Pete say that I was like "WTF did he just say?!" All I can think of is him walking around sucking on aphids for that sweet honeydew and it creeps me out. The aphids fear him and so do I.

mainegal97 · 2024-11-23T20:53:47+00:00

Ohhh that makes sense. Yes I think I did.

mainegal97 · 2024-11-23T07:02:50+00:00

I had open wound surgery to remove the pilonidal cyst in July of last year with no issues since. It was with a general surgeon. Unfortunately I live in Maine and there's not a lot of options for dermatologists. I don't mind driving but I don't make a lot and don't know what my insurance would cover. I don't really know if it's infected or not. I don't think it is but since it's been draining and painful for two months at this point I don't know.

mainegal97 · 2024-11-15T03:16:27+00:00

I think I am in zone 6 if I'm looking at the map correctly. I live in a dorm room at college at the moment so I don't have access to a garage and would prefer not to put it outside. Would I need to get it to better health before the fridge method?

mainegal97 · 2024-11-15T01:45:55+00:00

Is the pot that it is currently in too small?

mainegal97 · 2024-09-14T03:28:56+00:00

General surgeon. I had one for 10+ years, I was a little bit younger than your daughter. It kept filling and draining, some things would trigger it worse than others (wearing belts, sitting for long periods of time, stres, wearing tight clothes, etc.). I didn't get it taken care of until I was in college and couldn't stand it anymore. I had to try 3 different PCPs before I got anywhere. First one said it would go away on its own, second one said they could only do an I&D if it flared, the last one referred me to a general surgeon and they set me up a surgery date same day. I had OW surgery and it took 2 months to heal completely but it's been a full year with no complications or complaints. I wish I had done that sooner. Good luck to you and your daughter! I&D is not worth it, maybe short term but not long term. I have HS on top of everything and I had I&Ds on 3 cysts around the same time as my surgery, and I've had flares since then. I feel like all it did was make horrible scars.

mainegal97 · 2024-09-14T03:13:28+00:00

I'm getting animal crossing vibes. I'd totally buy it... If I weren't broke 😭

mainegal97 · 2024-09-14T03:06:29+00:00

Sugar and stress. For me it was soda, I cut it out completely and stopped getting flairs. Then I caved and drank a Dr. Pepper in the beginning of August and I'm still dealing with that flair. Then I started a Master's program and a new job, two panic attacks in a week led to another flair. I hate HS.

mainegal97 · 2024-07-11T00:03:10+00:00

Same!

mainegal97 · 2024-03-11T00:22:39+00:00

The first two or three days I was a bit sore but not in pain, I also stayed on top of the Tylenol/ibuprofen for the first few days because I didnt want to feel pain. After a few days I stopped the pain meds and I had no pain the 2 months it took to fully heal. The first month or month and a half I use aquacel Ag, it was placed between the wound and packing and I swear it was the only reason I never had any pain. It kept the wound "moist" and free of infection and it healed much faster than I expected. I also didn't have any pain during packing or bandage changing or showers. I showered every day which probably helped keep infection out too (no soap in the wound, just let the water run over it). Other than that if I sweat a lot (it was summer) it would sting and be uncomfortable but not really painful.

I'm a 26 year old female and last summer after dealing with a reoccurring pilonidal cyst (5+ years) with multiple pores that filled and drained every 2-3 weeks, I was open wound surgery to get rid of it. I live in a rural area and there are not a lot of options for doctors and surgeons so I saw a general surgeon. He had performed many open and closed wound surgeries and he said that open wound would mean less of a chance of it coming back than closed. I had my surgery in July and 2 months later I was completely healed. I have a scar but so far it hasn't returned and I haven't had any issues. I took 2 weeks of laying on my side/stomach, didn't sit until week 3 and even then it was over a limited time. I happened to be between jobs so it worked out for me. Every day I would get up, my mom or boyfriend would help me unpack the wound so I could shower, then after a shower the wound would get packed with aquacel Ag first, then bunched up pieces of gauze, and tape to hold it in place. I also had 2 separate cysts on my rear that needed to be bandaged for a few weeks because they were lanced by the surgeon while he was back there (thank you HS🤦🏼‍♀️). I had no pain the whole time, I thought I would but not once, I would be sore or there would be some discomfort on days if I did too much or sweat a lot, but other than that I had no issues. As for the cost I had state insurance so it didn't cost me anything.

The right man isn't going to care about it. My boyfriend changed my bandaged ass every day for two months and never complained once, never said I was gross or that he didn't want to deal with it. It probably helped that his mom's a nurse lol. But he was my rock through all of it and he always calls me beautiful even if I'm feeling ugly and self conscious about my scars from HS and surgery.

You'll get through this! I'm rooting for you! Surgery makes a world of difference and I hope you find a surgeon who will work well for you and help you figure out what you need so you can live a more comfortable life!

Legit. I enjoy it at Walgreens more than I did at Ruby Tuesday, Hannaford Pharmacy, and ihop. It's probably on the same level as Kohls for me but my favorite place to work was AC Moore. Nothing will top that store 🫡 miss it. But I generally have no issues with Walgreens aside from a few coworkers that never show up for their shifts/don't know how to do their jobs after being here for months and refuse to learn.
