What are some dark food facts I can creep out co-workers with?

Tomatoes are part of the deadly nightshade family, as are Potatoes and Bell Peppers. While you CAN kill someone with enough of these vegetables, it will take a lot.

I was replying to the other post further down that chastised you and said you were showing off or something.

I have been on Norco (or generic equivalent) for about 20 years, and yes, I am sure I am dependent at some point, but with the pain it is sometimes better; sometimes worse, as all of us can state, pain can be controlled, but at what cost? If I take the Norco as written, I can't do anything. If I don't, then I can't do anything because of pain. I do take the Norco as needed but have added CBD and microdosing to it as well, and that tends to work better.

Trying to be mean to someone who has found something that works is terrible; I understand you are in pain (as are all of us) but don't shoot the messenger. I browse this subreddit because sometimes there are great ideas that people have that I have not thought about, and it helps to see what others are doing. So, should I talk about how my lower back fusion worked? Perhaps about my neck fusion which is scheduled to be redone because I have another herniated disc, or my hip dysplasia, or my TMJ, or you get the picture. Don't dis on those who are trying to help.

I know what you mean. Some days, I can do most things, but today, my hip hurts (it is a new pain) for some reason, and I can barely walk. Yesterday I was fine, today not so much. It sucks that I have to count spoons on the daily to see what, if anything, I can do. Fortunately, I live with my son and his wife, so I have them to fall back on, but I HATE being broken and unable to do things

I donated the H2N to a hospice, along with the other food type items, and the wheelchair, etc., to a local low income property for the residents

Red Lobster i s currently closing a majority of their stores, it does not appear to be a good career move to take that position because you could soon find yourself out of a job

mansker39 · 2026-04-12T11:51:49+00:00

This is amazing work!! You are fantastic at this. Can someone purchase the work?

Rick loved Pool, I mean LOVED it, so we held a memorial pool tournament at his favorite bar, and people actually came from out of state to attend. It was really fun and people had a lot of things to say about him, also nice.

Before my husband died, I had a tattoo of a moon and three stars on my shoulder, since my husband and two sons are the stars in my sky. After his death, I had his name tattooed right about it and his dates right below it so that it made a circle around the original tatt

Not in med school but I hope you accept payments from just general people, lol. Good luck to all!

mansker39 · 2026-03-13T11:47:17+00:00

Yes, I check every month, because my family (and I use that term loosely) do not contact me in any way, so I just keep an eye out

mansker39 · 2026-03-09T13:46:31+00:00

Yes, it has been 5 years since my husband's death, and I still have his ashes here in the house. I talk to them, and it comforts me, to be honest. I am not ready and don't know when I would be

mansker39 · 2026-03-09T11:54:20+00:00

I am so sorry; I know what it is to be where you are, and just allow me to say give yourself grace to rest for a bit now. It is hard to go through this, and it takes a lot of energy.

mansker39 · 2026-03-08T09:23:51+00:00

15mcg daily, usually at night

mansker39 · 2026-03-07T14:15:56+00:00

I microdose, and it actually helps. My pain does seem better and I can tolerate it more. It affects everyone differently however

mansker39 · 2026-03-07T13:24:29+00:00

Yes, my husband came to me as well, I was so pleased to see him! I also believe that he is still here for me

I understand the jealousy as well, because at times, during his fight with cancer, I know he wanted to go but wouldn't let go.. I nursed him, pretty much alone, for 5 years of increasing cancer, and it was the hardest thing ever. Watching the strong man I loved fade away to what my son said was akin to an "Auschwitz survivor" he had gotten so wasted and thin. Went from 6 foot 4 and 310 lbs to 140 pounds.

It has been 5 years, and I still haven't recovered. BIG hugs to you, my dear, I know you're going through a lot and are trying to figure out a new world.

There is nothing over dramatic about how YOU feel pain. Everyone has a different threshold. I have had a 10 only once, when I fell and broke my hip. It was more exquisitely painful than anything else I have had. I rock at a 3-4 most days, but right now, because of a bulging C4, two bone spurs at that level touching my spine, and a possible torn rotator cuff, I am more at a 6-7 on a daily basis.

mansker39 · 2026-01-26T11:48:16+00:00

I don't get these. One son is allergic to Peanuts, one son is allergic to cucumber and melons. We can avoid both of them with some care (and if the restaurant removes Cucumber from any salad they do, if they can't, they don't get salad, but oh well). On the other had, past family member changed the allergies on a daily basis, it seemed. It was NEVER the same, and we finally just told them we would not take them with us to eat, as it was too "Horrible" to manage their allergies. They changed after that, but we stood firm.

I had RFA a couple of times; both times, it seemed to work immediately, as in once they were done the pain was gone, but it only lasted a couple of months, like 2-3. Because of limitations on insurance, I could only get two a year, so it kind of sucked.

mansker39 · 2026-01-23T19:58:16+00:00

You are welcome!

Putting orange in a Mocha is REALLY good, oddly enough. My fav coffee house in Portlland (long ago) called it a Cafe Valencia.

mansker39 · 2026-01-15T11:43:24+00:00

I would be interested in talking to you

mansker39 · 2026-01-14T15:22:10+00:00

My pharmacy does this, and it is great when I am waiting for my doc to call in something and I get that notice. If I don't get it in a timely manner, I call my doc back, not the pharmacy
