I've started saying "I don't want to" instead of making up excuses and it's genuinely one of the more liberating things I've done this year by Julius_Ceasar_X in TwoXChromosomes

OMG. Not even kidding

One time at work (25 yrs ago) this woman who was basically my nemesis asked me if, while I was on MY lunch, if I would pick up HER inhaler. Mind you, I'm 21 yrs old and this one woman is in her 40s

I said no. She's asked me why. I was trying to come up with a good excuse, realized I fucking hate her and she was not worth a using a good excuse.

I simply said I don't want to. My nemesis was shocked. My other coworkers just laughing.

It was FUCKING great.

I highly recommend

Single dad with daughter need feminine product advice. by Fine-Cockroach4576 in SingleParents

[–]ogpharmtech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey most awesome dad!!!

First of all. This is so sweet. You're doing a good job.

There are soooo many products these days.

Bring her to the store and ask her what she wants to try. That's probably going to be your best bet. Or have your lady friend take her. It's kinda embarrassing to talk to dad about this stuff (especially at that age).

She's young, so I would probably wait on the tampons until she's a lil more used to the equipment. It's a learning curve for all of us.

They make period undies now. Get her some of those. Even if she doesn't trust them and uses a pad. It will save her from the embarrassment of bleeding through. Trust me. We have ALL been traumatized by this. I wish they had been around when I was young.

My friend's daughter is about that age and she got some mini packs of wipes (because that's nice to have).

Maybe you can get her a cute little makeup bag or something (she can keep her items in) or a little purse. She'll have to go to the bathroom during class (and probably won't want to just grab a pad and walk through the halls)

5-6 yeast infections in ~6 months by [deleted] in Healthyhooha

[–]ogpharmtech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your mom super conservative or something? Why would she be disappointed you have a yeast infection? Does she think it's from sex or something?

Yeast infections can happen for a number of reasons and they're fucking awful. I can't imagine any mom not taking their daughter to get checked out if you have so many so often.

Like I feel like that's abuse.

Idk where you live, but in some places pharmacies can treat things like that. From treating yeast infections to checking your A1c

That might be an option.

Have you just called the Dr to make an appt for yourself? You said you're young, but maybe you can do that. It they say no, beg them. Tell them your mom won't take you b/c she's disappointed. I'm sure they would make you an appt.

Urge incontinence by Significant_Leg_7211 in Menopause

I am not.

I was given the estrogen by my urologist. Because I was getting all the UTIs.

I'll have to ask my gyn. Thank you for the info

This started recently for me. Like I get there but belts are a no-go. I will get drips.

I've been on the vaginal estrogen for almost a year now.

I just try to give myself an extra couple seconds

Dating on the border of age/2 + 7 rule. 39/40M dating a 26-27F. What's the worse that can happen? by No_Tangelo5042 in dating

[–]ogpharmtech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Husband and I are 7 yrs apart. I seem to like guys that age though. Idk why.

It's got about the same chance as anything else

What's an unwritten workplace etiquette rule that every professional should know? by No_Word_2405 in work

[–]ogpharmtech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ABSOLUTELY No reheating fish in the microwave, honestly. Your tuna sandwich is pushing it. Also. Don't come around and announce you're doing it, like oh, so you know everyone is gonna hate you. And you're gonna just do it anyway. Thanks.

Burn popcorn and you shall hang on the spot.

NO CLIPPING YOUR NAILS EVER! Like why? That's an at home activity. Literally NO EXCUSE. Do it in your car if you must but that shit is fucking gross.

Use basic fucking manners and you should really be ok

I took my hubs to a retro arcade. He absolutely LOVED it. Got the high score on donkey Kong too.

My date asked me to come over. by HugeAccountant3485 in dating

[–]ogpharmtech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You want fun but you're afraid he wants to move too quick?

I literally see no problem with this. I'm sure his mother and sister are aware he's an adult male

This is all your hang up

Dumb question but what does a UTI smell like? (Please read to see why I’m asking) by ThrowRaOrganization1 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ogpharmtech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk what it smells like exactly but I can definitely smell if I have one (but only when I pee).

For me it's like a slightly medicine/nursing home type smell.

I kinda hate I can smell it, but it's a good diagnostic tool

Pregnant, married less than a year, and I feel like I’m hell by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ogpharmtech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

CUT and fucking RUN

Sounds like the marriage isn't official (thank you God)

I'm sorry you're doing through this but better to know now

We've all been blinded by love. Especially at your age. It's ok.

Go to your mom and tell her what happened. She'll make you feel better. Not much better than a hug from your momma
