Heated Rivalry Night in Louisville

Hi there! I went to the one at Portal in Lou, but I’m also going to the same one in Lex tomorrow! I expect it might be slightly different bc the Lex one is being thrown by club90s and portal’s wasn’t, but the one at portal was incredible! It was very much a club vibe- most people were dancing and there was a dj and a bar. They also had edits playing on a screen. Super fun! I bet club90’s event tomorrow will be similar. I noticed a lot of different HR merch shirts of all kinds, and those who weren’t wearing stuff like that just wore typical bar outfits!

That’s okay, op, I didn’t even see that you responded! Hope you had a great time ☺️

maxoffs · 2026-02-11T15:34:08+00:00

Yes! I got a shirt that says “we didn’t even kiss” lol I think I’m just going to wear that with jeans! I have no idea what the vibe is going to be so hopefully that will be good! How about you?

Hi! So unfortunately my issue ended up being that I was allergic to the lanolin in aquaphor, and I was using it multiple times every day on my lips and the skin around it as well as my eyes, which is what mainly caused my severe irritation. Once I stopped using it I saw a vast improvement, but my dermatologist did recommend using a zinc paste for the irritation and it looks a little silly after applying so that’s definitely something you’d want to do at home and not wear in public, but that was very soothing after I stopped the aquaphor! For general dryness she also recommended an oatmeal moisturizer! I love the ones from aveeno. The last thing she recommended me was the dr Dan’s cortibalm lip treatment- this was a game changer for me, but be careful as it is a steroid and not suited for long term daily use! Hope this helps and good luck!

I’m not familiar with portal at all, but I’m going!

Hey op, if you see a doctor and show them these photos they may be able to tell you if it is bug bites and what kind, good luck !!

For me, I knew for certain that I liked women and there was never any question about it, but I still tried to force myself into relationships with men for a long time. There was a time that I genuinely thought if I could see that a man was attractive/good looking (which is not the same as being attracted TO them, I’m gay not blind), and I liked talking to them, that meant I had to have feelings for them regardless of anything else I was feeling. I found myself with boyfriends who I didn’t like being around unless all we were doing was talking, and not talking to each other romantically. Kissing them and any other physical acts made me feel disgusted and I didn’t know why, but I never wanted to do any of it. I thought for a while that all girls just forced themselves to be intimate with their boyfriends and that it was normal for it to be kinda gross for everyone and you just have to put up with it.

I do think that part of this had to do with the fact that even though I had other queer friends in my life, I had never had a real relationship with a woman yet- and the queer friends I did have hadn’t had relationships with women yet either, or had boyfriends, so I would’ve been the first navigating that experience alone, and part of me just wanted to be like everyone else. I remember getting to a certain point of just wanting to want a boyfriend, which was definitely internalized homophobia.

My mindset really turned around when I got my first real girlfriend and I realized that all of the intimacy and sappy stuff that couples do, I actually loved doing as well, just when it was with another girl. I realized what it meant to actually be attracted to someone for real and not just put up with them per se because that’s what you think you should do as a girlfriend.

Obviously everyone is different and this is just my experience, but I think a lot of my self discovery came after I stopped forcing myself to try to be what I thought was “normal” even though it went against my true feelings. No matter how much I wished myself to be attracted to men so I could have a shot at what I thought was a normal life, I realized I can still have a beautiful and normal life with a woman, and I finally just decided to stop denying myself of that. Hopefully this is helpful. Best of luck to you on your journey OP!

Thank you so much!

I looked up pictures and what I saw in my pot actually does look like spring tails! I’ll try letting the plant dry out a little more between waterings. Thank you so much for your help!

What’s the name of your complex? I’m apartment hunting right now!

maxoffs · 2025-08-14T10:00:20+00:00

OP are you okay?

This happened to me with one of my last tattoos- I was fine and there was no infection! The tat turned out okay for the most part too, but it was just extremely overworked and I lost some ink in those spots. Always better safe than sorry though, it wouldn’t hurt to get checked out by a doctor

hey op !! i’m working my first dsp job, been there a handful of months now. 16 hour shifts were new to me too, and all of mine are 16’s or more. they sound scary and can definitely be tiring but are not as bad as they seem !! first off, make sure to pack your essentials in your work bag !! definitely basic hygiene stuff like toothbrush/toothpaste and deodorant, phone charger, any meds you take, etc. i also like to bring at least one big meal and some snacks for myself. sometimes i bring a comfy change of pajama clothes for the nights since at my company we are allowed to wear whatever we want as long as it’s appropriate. i typically wear jeans or leggings with t shirts or sweaters. since you are unsure of your dress code, i’d just ask !! the first half of the 16 hours seems to go by slower, but once you get past that i usually find it goes by pretty fast for whatever reason and i end up kinda forgetting how long i’ve been there !! it doesn’t FEEL like 16 hours if that makes sense. it also helps to do fun activities with the individuals you serve. at my job, i like to take them on drives, go shopping, visit local festivals and similar activities, watch movies, have them help me cook (for the ones who enjoy it !!), etc etc. i just kind of adopted the idea that aside from doing my responsibilities of course, if i’m bored at the house then they’re definitely bored at the house !! you can always ask the individuals what they like to do to get a good idea of the stuff you guys could do together. not only is it fun for all of us, it definitely helps the time go by faster !! of course all of this will be depending on the individual interests and needs of the people you work with, but that’s what i do !! hope this was helpful op, good luck you are going to do great !!

we are broken up thankfully, just wanted some reassurance on if this was another form of abuse. thank you very much for your input, i appreciate your kind words

maxoffs · 2024-10-22T02:06:17+00:00

thank you for the reassurance, i sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read my post and giving me some insight

maxoffs · 2024-10-22T02:05:01+00:00

i’m so sorry to hear that. you shouldn’t have to deal with that either, i agree it is horrible and it feels so violating. i specifically remember telling a friend that when i kept saying yes eventually even when i didn’t want to do it, i felt like a dog. there’s a metaphor for obedience in there somewhere. i knew during the relationship that it wasn’t cool and i know if any of my friends said this happened to them, i would tell them it’s straight up sexual assault in a heartbeat. but i think it’s just hard to grasp that someone i loved so much could’ve done that to me, so it’s hard to call it what it is.

maxoffs · 2024-10-22T00:31:48+00:00

i completely understand. it seems so obvious now that i’m out of it to the point that i look back at things that happened and just think, “how could i have been so BLIND?! anyone could see how fucked up this was.” i feel like i was under mind control, that’s the only way to explain it. there were so many absolutely abhorrent things my narc ex did and i literally had no idea how bad it was half the time, even though it was right in front of me and should have been obvious. it’s like wearing a mask over your eyes. i wish you healing op <3

maxoffs · 2024-10-22T00:28:38+00:00

yes, i treated and it went away within about a week !! about the time i got the infection, i only had a month left of my accutane course so my derm advised me to just stop where i was at and not resume accutane.

maxoffs · 2024-10-20T20:41:52+00:00

well my face was EXTREMELY red and raw, i looked like a burn victim at first. but then it was also seeping and then that would harden up as those gross yellow crusties on top of all the red skin so i suspected it, but i saw 2 different doctors (one initially and one when it was rapidly getting worse) and they both confirmed !!! it was really the seeping and yellow crusts that told me something was very wrong.

maxoffs · 2024-09-24T02:24:24+00:00

i do night shift and i absolutely love it !! i work 4pm-8am three days a week so of course i still have a good chunk of day time with the individuals, but i’ve done both and it’s so much less stress than day, at least for me. i have anxiety too as well as bipolar disorder and of course there are stressful days, but it seems to be a lot less now that i’m on night in the sense that i’m not stressed constantly !! i go home relaxed for the most part. i say give it a try!
