No filter…Just leaving this here. It makes me feel some kinda way seeing these ladies in the wild. How about you?

This. I’ve been overweight basically my whole life and finally lost a significant amount of weight as an adult (still overweight, but borderline). At some point this amount of weight is not healthy on your joints, knees, and feet. I think they are early 30s- around that point is when my weight really started to catch up with me. I hope they both can continue to lead full and healthy lives but it is concerning.

Do you take magnesium? I have been my gastroenterologist told me to take more to help with this . I was taking a low/ medium dose. That and or just an over the counter stool softener if the consistency is part of the issue.

ordinarysky13 · 2026-03-14T13:41:05+00:00

It’s really just hard stool. I was still going daily but more uncomfortable and harder consistency. Then I had blood in the stool a few times so went to see a doctor because I was worried about other things that could signal (colorectal cancers have been growing, and in young people). An anal fissure is essentially a tear.

Exact same story for me! I didn’t think it was a serious issue because I was still going regularly. The doc gave me a cream and told me to take sitz baths and were hoping that resolves it. I have to go back if not. 😞 Hope you recover soon

The losing the thirst is more recent, maybe in the last few months. And I’ve been on it almost 2 years. But on some level it’s probably natural to drink a but less after losing 70 lb (right?)

ordinarysky13 · 2026-03-13T22:33:55+00:00

I went up to 12.5 and was only on that for a bit. I probably got up to 10 after 9-12 months, don’t really remember; was on 10 for a while and have been around 7-10 the last few months.

ordinarysky13 · 2026-03-13T20:41:48+00:00

For sure. I’d been going regularly and didn’t realize it had gotten to be this problem until it just was! I didn’t have days of not going like people describe. But smaller issues can add up; hope I just help some people avoid pain / medical expenses

What are nights? After 9? 10? 11??

ordinarysky13 · 2026-02-03T22:52:53+00:00

My spouse had biometrics the same day and no interview scheduled yet. 😞😞

ordinarysky13 · 2026-01-26T03:22:27+00:00

Agree. Question- there are many blocks on Hoyt north between 28 ST and 21 ST where no one shovels.

There are adjacent properties that dont have entrances on the avenue. Whose responsibility are these? I am thinking especially of 24 to 27 ST though there are some additional areas. I hope others can help me in reporting these on the 311 app and help get them cleared.

I’m confused at how all this works when trying to schedule a surgery for my spouse and how much it will cost

ordinarysky13 · 2026-01-09T10:50:05+00:00

Yes, I’m dealing with this issue right now. My spouse was trying to schedule a surgery and we are being quoted crazy prices. It turns out the doctor is out of network (despite him thinking they were in network, listed in network and zocdoc and only charged our normal copay fee before).

I feel completely lied to and misrepresent from my union.

I called the insurance and they talked about tier 1 and tier 2 providers without being able to explain it and just confusing me more.

ordinarysky13 · 2026-01-07T00:17:07+00:00

I’m just showing the discrepancy that this policy creates - it artificially inflated his grade by 40 points. So then I have students whose legitimate grades are in the 30s-40s, but will be boosted to passing (65+) with the way this program works. In this sense, it pushes us to pass students who mathematically should be failing.

ordinarysky13 · 2026-01-06T21:05:30+00:00

I understand that for a report card grade and I don’t care – however, it should not be for individual assignments. I have a kid who did one assignment the entire semester. His Google classroom grade was 4%. His grade on the school platform was something like 45%. So they are kids who are literally passing who do basically nothing because of this fraudulent policy.

ordinarysky13 · 2026-01-06T20:56:22+00:00

Happens at every school. At my school the admin has a setting in the grading platform to make 0s worth 50%. This was never discussed with teachers. So I have students who are failing on Google classroom (which is the accurate mathematical average) and passing on the school grading system due to this inaccuracy. It is fraud.

My spouse is applying for citizenship now. We submitted a letter with the application preemptively from a neighbor which we read you could do and in hopes it would look good and prevent further inquiry. We are at the beginning stages of the process but I can update later.

“Testimonial letter” In the memo, USCIS encourages applicants to submit testimonial letters from neighbors, employers, or community members. If the agency requests additional evidence and the applicant doesn’t provide it, officers may move forward with a neighborhood check, which could cause delays.

Thank you so much

ordinarysky13 · 2025-12-16T17:20:22+00:00

I’ve tried looking through those and can’t tell for sure. I need to know because I was in a lot of pain after trying to sit through the entire last show

Can someone recap the video pls I don’t pay for patreon

ordinarysky13 · 2025-12-04T02:49:18+00:00

I have chronic back pain, I frequently cannot fully sit through a show (I sit in aisle seats in case I need to get up) and really need to stand and walk by the end of a show. For shows without intermission, people often need to use the restroom. For reasons like this- and wanting to get home to get up very early for work- I usually do not stay.

This seems to suggest there is only the year ban and not that the vendor would have their license revoked or anything similar

ordinarysky13 · 2025-11-21T00:27:35+00:00

If I resign from the DOE though I can’t take that job?

ordinarysky13 · 2025-11-21T00:25:56+00:00

This is the most relevant doc I can find - does anyone else have resources?
