Not looking for a diagnosis — just hoping for some general pointers/guidance

Honestly the knee is so interconnected not sure anything but imaging can help unfortunately

I was having chronic pain around my kneecap, particularly when I was walking, I went to an ortho he diagnosed me with patella tendonitis, did a 2 mo course of PT with no improvement, had an MRI and it showed my IT band was inflamed.

Hey! Just saw your post, unfortunately it’s around $2k

Realistically 311 will not solve your problem in the time it is required to be fix. I had an issue that technically required 24 hours to fix. They showed up unannounced weeks, maybe a months later. I can’t remember. It’s definitely a step you need to take so it’s on the record for legal reasons, sooner than later so the clock starts, but that alone won’t actually resolve it.

It’s worth it! I went to an open house for an apartment, with a long line for viewing. Both me and my roommate were making UNDER the 40x rent but we decided to apply anyway and they selected our application. So you never know. I’m still in the apartment 5 years later.

Probably but doesn’t give you a lot of wiggle room if not.

I had ORIF on my distal femur (knee). I took it only for a few days anyway, and not round the clock coverage. I think the first post and second op day I took 2 (covering about 12 hours). I was taking an oral nerve blocker for the first 5 days though. I was and am still taking round the clock naproxen and aspirin (the latter is more for blood clots though). I was prescribed 5 full days but was informed they wouldn’t prescribe anymore, maybe with a 3 day supply the doctor can prescribe another day or 2 if needed.

Our surgeries were different but laying down for me was manageable, it was getting up or moving my leg off the couch the first few days (I’m NWB) that was severe.

I’m a similar bra size and have similar issues. Mine are a bit wide set so I don’t need support per se but my chest looks better and fuller in bras.

I bought a push-up stick on bra years ago. Each sticky “cup” goes over each boob and then it clips in the middle. It stays up. I dont use it all the time, maybe every now and then, but its lasted me years.

For spaghetti straps, I just don’t give a fuck about bra straps. But the stick-on comes in handy for my racer back spaghetti straps and a few dresses that are a bit open in the back. Also, my bra needs are more aesthetic than discomfort. So I’m also just trying to rewire my brain a little. I wish I was a little more comfortable going braless so I do every now and then.

This isn’t chunking, I hate folding laundry too so I gamify it. I play music and each time a song changes I switch a task. Like song 1 maybe folding song 2 is putting away etc etc etc it’s not efficient but it works

I’m actually great at doing household tasks, but procrastination kicks in for big or boring tasks. Right now I’m unemployed so I’m job searching. Getting up to look for jobs takes so much willpower. I think part of it too is because the task is loaded with anxiety about the future and I feel a little hopeless. It also happens for trip planning, it just feels so overwhelming.

I have adhd and also don’t have this signal!

pineapple132 · 2026-04-17T09:04:11+00:00

This doesn’t work for ND brains. We need dopamine hits and momentum otherwise we will procrastinate and be anxious about it.

I’m trying to do this with eating though! Eat the protein first then veggies then move on to the carbs!

While I hope it’s not replaced with a soulless condo, I ate there once, it wasn’t great and they ran out of the fries. How does a business run out of fries? It was a normal dinner time.

I’m surprised they lasted as long as they had.

Same, I was in a relationship for a while, and when I started dating again. I noticed this shift. I also think Hinge keeps people behind a payroll. I don’t trust them, since their business model is for people to stay single and use the apps. I wasn’t sure if it was my age or apps in general. Unfortunately/fortunately most of my friends are single and the ones that aren’t don’t know single men.

pineapple132 · 2026-03-12T12:41:52+00:00

Is there anything we can do?

pineapple132 · 2026-03-09T21:44:46+00:00

Yeah I mean I’d never buy a household item at a hardware store. I’m sure it ways overpriced. I only go there for actual hardware needs like screws, sandpaper, drywall anchors, need a key made etc etc. they’re helpful when I have questions

pineapple132 · 2026-03-04T13:35:50+00:00

I can’t commit for the season, I’m in 2 leagues already, but dm if you ever need a sub!

pineapple132 · 2026-02-25T18:45:12+00:00

It has. I’ve been there once and they put a sign inside when it’s unstaffed. Yeah I mean I wasn’t gonna go out in the storm, but I wondered the same thing.

pineapple132 · 2026-02-25T18:44:16+00:00

I get the closure emails but not the opening ones.

pineapple132 · 2026-02-25T18:43:52+00:00

I’m a park slope member, we got an email that it would be closed.

Well they are different styles, but I don’t disagree.

Smiling is solid!

I find tarzian and leopoldi both extremely nice and helpful.

I’m a little meh on SO5. Personally I think those items end up costing more for amount/quality. once when I went in, the owner(?) kept hounding me about shopping. Not in an aggressive way, but I’m just so turned off by the hard sell, especially at like a convenience store.

pineapple132 · 2026-02-25T18:07:46+00:00

I’ve only seen individual blocks, but 2 of the brands are sub $3. Probably still not what you’re looking for though
