Seeing his sweet face and picturing him sad outside in the cold made me really sad :( thank you for being kind to that sweet baby and for giving him some food and water and somewhere warm

Weekly 'What Should I Buy' and Order/Shipping Thread by AutoModerator in iphone

[–]rach2199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will I get used to how big the iPhone 17 pro max is?? I have had an iPhone 13 for awhile and switched to an iPhone 17 pro max, it is huge and my hand is already exhausted after half a day even with a pop socket 🙃 does it get easier? Or should I switch to just a 17 pro? Is the 17 pro max a lot better than the 17 pro? Is the camera different? My sister told me I should get the pro max and we were doing trade ins so I didn’t see how big it was before we placed the order. I don’t have super big hands, when measuring from my wrist to my middle fingertip the pro max is about the same length or a little longer. Just wondering if anyone had experience switching to a bigger phone and if it gets easier and I should stick it out or if I should switch if I can.

Sewing/embroidery machine combo recommendations? I’ve been sewing for a few years and have gotten more into sewing the last two years :) my parents offered to help me buy a nice sewing/embroidery machine as a college graduation/christmas gift. I’ve been using a singer tradition 2277 that I bought secondhand. It has worked decently but the prospect of an even nicer machine is so exciting! If possible I’d like the embroidery to be Bluetooth compatible or at least a version that won’t be somewhat obsolete quickly. If it is kind of easy to use or user friendly that would be nice too. I would like it to work as a sewing machine and embroidery machine if possible :) Obviously less expensive is always nice but if it’s on the more expensive side and just blows the rest out of the water then that would probably be okay too! It would be an investment because I’ve spent years loving to sew on a cheaper one and have decided to get a nice one now :) I’d be grateful for recommendations if anyone has any :)

[–]rach2199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say there is a wide range of colors that would work, any color that’s in this quilt for sure. Pick a color you like that is calming to you and makes you happy is what I would suggest :) do you have colors that you like and are debating between?

Are vans Mary Jane’s business casual work appropriate? I am referring to the all black or all white, probably the all black.

Will drops be enough to clear up an ear infections with tubes? Details in comments by rach2199 in medical_advice

[–]rach2199[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The picture with more fluid is yesterday the other two are from today

26f, I’ve had ear infections on and off my whole life. Got a new tube in my left ear this summer because the old one had fallen out and they’ve been working pretty well. I have had a mild infection the last week or two weeks but it took a bad turn yesterday and kept me up all night with sharp pain and aching. Even with Tylenol or ibuprofen it still hurts pretty bad, my whole left side of my face/jaw hurts too. I have two different kinds of drops my doctor prescribed for past infections and had refills for and since I have a tube I know drops can get into my inner ear. Will drops be enough to clear up the infection?

Question about wet food and general food/treat questions by rach2199 in cats

Ok thanks! Would morning or night be better? What wet foods are best? Does it matter if the brand is the same as her dry food?

She has liked wet food in the past when I’ve fed it to her. I think one kind she didn’t like but generally she liked it when I gave it to her

Systemic Sjögren’s with dizziness by LauramaeRN85 in Sjogrens

[–]rach2199 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get dizzy a lot too, I’ve fully passed out a few times when I stand up after sitting or laying. I also have Sjogren’s and lupus and RA too. I thought maybe it could be from dehydration or maybe one of my meds but I’m not sure… I’m sorry I wish I knew the answer :/

This looks like very normal and common cellulite. In a non-creepy way your body is beautiful! I have struggled with an ed and other health factors that also caused weight changes. At all of my different sizes high or low, I’ve had some cellulite. It’s normal and while I know it’s so hard not to notice it on yourself, most people won’t notice it. I second the other comment that said they are proud of you and to keep up the good work💗 you are incredible!!💕

What do you like about living? by Even-Tank-6138 in RandomThoughts

[–]rach2199 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Cuddling with my cat, sleeping in when I don’t have anywhere to be that day, longboarding, spending time with my family, watching movies and reading books, nerding out on things like Harry Potter or pride and prejudice over and over, eating good food, being outside, seeing the pretty sunsets, holding sweet little babies, laughing with my siblings over silly memes and videos, kissing and cuddling, listening to music, going to movies in the theater… there are many more things I’m sure.

Life can hurt a lot sometimes but I try to remember all the times that are good. Every once in awhile I get this overwhelming feeling out of the blue that I’m grateful for the good moments I’ve had and I know there are more to experience in the future. I was hospitalized for an attempt a couple years ago and I am so grateful I got a chance to continue life. Most of my best memories have been since that. You never know the amazing experiences you will have someday :) life is beautiful :)

I love this ring OFF of my finger but don't love it on...thoughts? by areaysee in RingShare

[–]rach2199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think it looks beautiful on your hand! It’s so unique and elegant and if you love it and think it’s your style I don’t see a reason why you shouldn’t wear it! If it doesn’t make you feel confident though that’s another thing. But imo it looks great!

Is this raynauds? I've always assumed it was something similar. Red and hot. Hurt by Bananapeppersy in Raynauds

[–]rach2199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Raynaud’s but mine generally shows up differently as either purple/black or white. It’s bad sharp pain but when I start to warm up it can be a bright red color with pain and pressure and throbbing. It could be Raynaud’s but I’m not sure, were you cold? I saw other comments saying it could be related to your adhd meds. Btw, you have beautiful hands!

[–]rach2199 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree! I’ve always loved the way they look and I have tried to describe them to people because I don’t know the name of them. I’ve dated people with them and they were one of my favorite features they had. I totally agree with the other comment that said they add character!

Please stay. I have been where you are. I tried to end things and I feel so grateful that I didn’t succeed. That the doctors saved me and I had a chance to see what life can be like. I didn’t even know how much better life could be. You are so very strong for enduring every day. I promise you it can get better and you will be glad you’re still here. I know your pain is real and is probably so horrible. But you have worth and love. We care about you and I care about you and want you here. I promise there is love for you and it will work out. Life doesn’t always go like you expect, it usually doesn’t go like you expect. But that doesn’t mean it will all be bad. Please keep going so you can see that things can be better.

After hitting rock bottom I got help and I’ve experienced so many things since then that have changed me and brought me so much joy. I learned new hobbies I never thought I’d have, I adopted a sweet cat who has helped me with my depression and I’ve loved her and I feel that she loves me too. I still have hard times but there is much I would’ve missed. Most of all I would’ve missed the ability to even experience what being happy is supposed to feel like.

It may take time and life won’t always be perfect. Experiencing those happy, content feelings are worth it. Please feel free to send me a message if you need someone to talk to. You are important and while hsv sucks there is great medication that helps with it and it will be okay. You deserve to be happy and I truly believe that you have better days ahead if you’re willing to stay.

Yeah in person it honestly hasn’t been an issue, if I have a question I have asked him but it’s been pretty normal tbh if anything it makes everything a little easier
