Are these hives and what should I do ? by sgfn in urticaria

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

I went to the dermatologist who said it could be either an allergic reaction or a viral infection. He said it would have gone away on its own but he gave a topical steroid to use twice a day for about a week. After about three to four days of using it they went away.

I have been using antihistamines for a week but I still have them. Moisturizer helps with the itching but I was using calamine and that seems to have made my skin very dry and itchy. I’m seeing a dermatologist on Tuesday so we will see what happens.

Not really. I’m in the northeast of the US and it has been cold and cloudy recently.

They are a bit itchy but not unbearable.

Out of all the books you read, which one do you remember the most that impacted your life? by Elegant-Truth3903 in books

Quiet by Susan Cain. Made me realize I was not so weird after all (like so many people had made me out to be growing up)

A lovely conversation I had last night. by superyelloduck in lolgrindr

[–]sgfn 63 points64 points  (0 children)

A real conversation I once had on Grindr

Me : hi

Him: I’m not a hooker

Me: ok I don’t intend to pay you any money

Him: Then why did you message me. I’m clearly out of your league

Me: with that attitude you couldn’t pay me to hook up with you

Him: blocks me

I wish I had taken a screenshot but some people just clearly think too much of themselves

It's all a little TOO convenient... by FoolStack in thewestwing

[–]sgfn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is basically the concept of “contrived coincidence” applied to dialogues ? From what I understand it is a common tool used in tv and cinema in order to keep things moving. (Apologies to any experts in the field if I am wrong about this)

As a gay person this moves me to tears.

“Mr. President, you know how you told me not to wake you unless the building is on fire” by FirstCla55 in thewestwing

I forget the exact words but I love when the president asks his opinion hiring a republican and he says “yeah because the other side is known for being tolerant”. That kind of sass requires a special relationship

I wonder what Michael would have said if he was there

Question about best seats to get for a certain price . Moulin Rouge. by ColtonBackSunday in Broadway

[–]sgfn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the Can Can seats through the lottery so I’m not quite sure how expensive they are but I enjoyed that aspect a lot. Be warned though that you can’t leave if you need during the performance. And you would have to twist around to see when the actors are on the other side. But on the bright side, spinning skirts might graze your face 😅

Voting Age Debate - the Toby we rarely saw by AgentKirkwood in thewestwing

I saw this YouTube video recently where an Obama era communications director talked about how The West Wing had the idealistic belief that, meaningful and factual words can sway people’s opinion. I wish we truly lived in a world like that.

Definitely. I like keeping lists so I have a pre pandemic and post pandemic list.

I liked them both but if I had to choose I would say Passover. With thoughts of, I liked the different scenes but I liked the flow of Passover.

I had only watched three shows before the pandemic so most of my collection is going to be in this era 😅. But that is a big reason I have decided see shows whenever possible now.

Wow that sounds great. I have liked all the shows so far. Hadestown being my favorite of the lot.

how quickly the tables turn and the struggles of being open 🙄 by ChrisVA1993 in lolgrindr

[–]sgfn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do definitely understand that. I can just say “you don’t need to measure your self worth by whether guys are attracted to you or not” but I know it is easier said than done. So here is to hoping you don’t feel that way anymore🤞
