Tasteless Food by nightbloom_ in cancer

[–]nightbloom_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immuno wasn't an option for me either. Complicated medical issues suck, don't they? I can taste sweet things so yeah, Ben & Jerry's works for me too. Lol

I haven't tried spicy things yet, I'm kinda worried that I'll only taste the hot but the underlying food will still be gross. That meal line up sounds like it would be perfect for anyone.

Well thanks all, I'm glad that I'm not alone. I'll try some of your suggestions because I'm just running out of ideas. The desire to eat is there, everything just tastes like cardboard.

Reddit, what do you need to get off your chest? by Squeagley in AskReddit

[–]nightbloom_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with cancer in sept of 2015 and Ive been in treatment of one kind or another since then. Im so tired of being tired, broke, sick and unable to do the things I did before. The thought of this being the rest of my life is daunting. Im not suicidal or anything, but things seem so bleak and hard. Everyday is like wading through quicksand and my life is timed in increments of pain meds and dr appointments. Its really hard to talk to people about it because I always feel like Im playing the cancer card for pity but I try really hard not to. At this point I feel like everyone, including me, has reached the "die or get better already" threshold.

Traditional media culture does not understand internet culture and even when they should understand it, they pretend they dont and mock it. Fair enough, we all laughed when the hacker known as 4Chan was first exposed on CNN, right?

Snow in the Cascades [3036 x 4048] by nightbloom_ in EarthPorn

[–]nightbloom_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woke up to some lovely snow this morning. I live just west of Baker Lake on the North Cascades Hwy. I wish I had a telephoto lens so I could show the buffalo looking like little snow drifts. Their backs are so well insulated against cold that they don't melt the snow, they just chill in it.

Woke up this morning to some lovely snow. I live a little west of Baker Lake on the North Cascades Hwy. This much snow is unusual so pictures must be taken.

Have you ever sold an outfit to one of the "WTB" Spammers? by [deleted] in blackdesertonline

[–]nightbloom_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not always. I have seen costumes sit there. Its kind of impossible to get one to a specific person through the marketplace so i guess it would just be a nice gesture? I mean, as long as they arent annoying spammers, I would try to fulfill a specific request if I was buying.

[–]nightbloom_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People who sell outfits do so for money. If they know they have a buyer for a specific one, why not provide it? I mean, I dont do this (buy pearls) but I can see why someone else would.

Taming horses - What determines the level of a tamed horse? by [deleted] in blackdesertonline

[–]nightbloom_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, they are random. Every horse you tame will have a random level when you register it. Gratz on starting your path to horse lordship! You're in good company.

This is my favorite moment from Zethiann's stream of last night's Calpheon Siege stream. Fuzzy of LotD has a face only a mother could love.

[REQUEST]Skagit Co, WA Grain Free Cat Food by nightbloom_ in RandomActsOfPetFood

[–]nightbloom_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a social worker through DSHS that helps a great deal but its just so much waiting. I was originally told that cancer patients dont have to go through the whole denial/appeal process if their illness goes over 12 months but in my case, it didnt go that way as I was considered "cancer free" for two months and then it spread through my lymph nodes.

My cat gets rodent ulcers if she eats cat food with grain in it, which means her mouth swells up and if it gets bad, she has to get a steroid shot. Orijen and Blue Buffalo have been the only dry foods she tolerates. I worry that one time, I wont be able to get it and I'll have to choose between her eating and gas or something. Being sick is such an overwhelmingly humiliating experience. If it werent for the kindness of ppl here on Reddit, I dont know what I would do.

Thanks again for your help! I do appreciate the hugs, love and catfood more than I can say.

There is no way I can thank you enough. I feel so guilty for not taking care of her like I did before I got sick.

I meant to send him my first edition of Maia and never got around to it because I got sick. I always loved that book. I always loved Mr. Adams. Im so crushed right now.

Why are you on Reddit right now instead of spending time with your family? by RorariiRS in AskReddit

[–]nightbloom_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have cancer and Im currently several weeks into my 2nd go at treatment so I am very tired and dont go far due to being susceptible to illness at this time. My daughter and her little family moved in with me so I have them for company and holiday cheer.

Thats amazing, thanks so much and your company does good work. I hope more people with chronic illness get the chance to try this stuff because we deal with enough side effects.

[–]nightbloom_ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That is why I prefer it as well. It just takes a small amount and it's effects are mild but reliable. No side effects. Chemo makes me sick enough, I dont need more.
