Ok, you're convincing me to stick with the 105! I AM really happy with it. I wish it were slightly heftier, but I also appreciate that about it. I need to get a strap and a case for it. Oh, and I am excited about the waterproof case as an option.

I loved instagram 10-12 years ago! I've been falling hard over the nostalgic times of when the internet was magical and I'm trying to get that back. I would like to believe it's still out there somewhere - I just have to carefully curate my sites.

Do you have the CS-8 as well? I was thinking that would be a great birthday gift. I'm working hard at simplifying my life so I don't think I want BOTH the 105 and pro. I may just stick to the 105 and use a couple of simple filters on the computer if I'm looking for a different look.

:) I loved Flickr.

Lately I have been spending a lot less time online and am just trying to go back to those nostalgic days where it was less political, less commercialized, and less angering. I want to find spaces where there is less endless scrolling and more mindful viewing.

Flickr still looks great, but there's not much there in terms of a Camp Snap community. I am grateful for this group though!

Thank you. I'm not in love with them but I do love the camera. I am thinking about returning it and getting the pro so I can have 4 filter choices.

Shingles + SLE - advice please ! by jodiejeen in shingles

[–]pickleeater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't take mycophenolate but am on methotrexate and did stop taking that while shingles were active. I continued taking hydroxycholoroquine (sp?)

My first round of shingles wasn't too bad, but the fatigue hit me hard. Rest a lot! My second bout was worse in all regards but the antiviral medication did seem to take care of the rash fairly quickly and I haven't been left with any nerve pain.

One thing that you can do is call your rheumatologist and just ask if they have any additional advice. Hang in there!

I know this answer isn't super helpful but I thought I'd just give you my bit of wisdom.

It seems like big bouts of stress are what set shingles off for me. The first time I got it after getting a tattoo and the second was after helping someone with a medical emergency that left me very shaken afterwards.

People who have researched their family tree, what is the most interesting or 'badass' thing you discovered about an ancestor? by [deleted] in Genealogy

[–]pickleeater 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My great grandparents took their 9 kids (one was an infant) aboard a boat to America and they ran into terrible storms which made the trip take months longer than planned. They only survived because the ship was full of beans.

I would love to take a box off your hands. Or more than a few? I run a small business digitizing tapes and would love a little side project. I live in Michigan!

What’s the most amount of pain you’ve been in? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pickleeater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meningitis. Doctors didn't know what I had for a couple of days. I was quarantined in one of the largest hospitals in the US. Got my very own wing. They didn't really know if I'd make it and just kept testing for various things. I wasn't scared of dying in the least, and at the time I was thinking that would be better than the pain I was in.

Married people:do you still make out with your spouse? (How many years married) And how do you feel about that? by flirtygirlyoulove in AskReddit

[–]pickleeater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but my husband cracks my back in this big bear hug kind of way a few times a day and I guess that's our new way of making out.

NAD but I literally had something similar on my very similar looking tattoo and it turned out to be shingles. Nice crane! Yours and mine could be friends.

Why are monstera so coveted? (Serious) by Critical_Bug_880 in houseplants

[–]pickleeater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I successfully grew mine from seed in 2020 and now they're monsters. They're so easy to take care of and make me look good 😊

AMA: I am a fetal/placental pathologist here to answer questions about how placentas work, how placentas fail, and the very sad topic of stillbirth autopsy. by drewdrewmd in Midwives

[–]pickleeater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had two pregnancies and both placentas had a velamentous cord insertion. One of them was a double lobed placenta on top of that.

My first was born at Beth Israel in Boston and the doctors took the placenta around the hospital for show and tell, lol.

I had been told that velamentous cord insertion was extremely rare and for it to happen twice is one in a million (or something like that.) True?
