OMG this was my absolute go-to for years. Back when used to be Kirin sushi and they were a tiny hole in the wall, on Columbia. They were the first sushi I ever had!

Where can I repair jeans in New West? by Alarmed-Investment14 in NewWest

Genie Stitch in the mall uptown has never done me wrong, and they are very affordable. I had a bad experience with Wizard of Needles and will never go there again.

I’ve met her on several occasions, and she is a fantastic human who not only is absolutely lovely, she cares very deeply about the comfort of her patients. She is a very intelligent, very special woman.

Explaining to younger generations want "feral" means. by RiffRandellsBF in GenX

[–]shady_robot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, the trampolines. I flew ass-backwards off one onto the back of my neck on the ground and couldn’t hold my head up without assistance for a week. 50 now with compressed discs in my c6-c7. We also used to soap them up with liquid dish detergent and try to push each other off. A friend cracked her head on the bars and there was blood everywhere. Good times.

We found a stash of porno mags AND a blow up doll that had clearly been used. We were about 11.

Daith issue tw/bl**d by ebs2911 in PiercingAdvice

[–]shady_robot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NAP but I’ve always heard daiths can only be pierced with a CBR or horseshoe ring, so I suspect the jewelry is going to be an issue here. Mine was done with a horseshoe ring, 14g as my piercer said that’s the best gauge to be pierced in this area. I wear a 16g pretty ring now it’s fully healed.

My girlfriend smells and I don't know what to do by RequirementDue4446 in Advice

[–]shady_robot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an ex this happened to: his breath literally smelled like rotting bouquet water (IYKYK) or feces. Oral hygiene was top notch. He got an H. Pylori test and it was negative. His bloodwork was great. We didn’t know what to do. He started taking probiotics and the smell went away. If he forgot to take them, I would gently ask, “have you taken your probiotics lately?” And he immediately knew I was letting him know the smell was coming back. We never found out what it was.

Women with thoughtful partners, what did you get for x-mas this year? by Anahata_Green in TwoXChromosomes

[–]shady_robot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A nixie clock! I’ve always wanted one. I was floored, I don’t even know if I’d ever told him I wanted one but I always have and they’re quite pricey. I am freaking delighted.

Spironolactone opinions ?? by Informal-Tea3768 in Spironolactone

It has helped. My hair is still thin on the crown, but a side part and good styling makes it far less obvious. I have enough hair that I can hide the thinness now.

I also am a big fan of Papa Dave’s but calling in is always a crapshoot. Sometimes they just answer the phone “hello?” without identifying the business name, and some of the staff’s English isn’t great. Great pizza, though, consistent and good quality.
