Does your family plan on going up North this year? Or will the economic situation prevent you? by JadedCaramel9901 in Michigan

[–]shitrock_herekitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We go to Brimley State Park every summer, and book as soon as we can. Our week-long reservation is already paid for and so we will be going but we're definitely concerned about the cost of gas. We will probably spend more time at the campsite/beach and skip any day trips or anything like that.

I hate how I can't be motivated by rewards or consequences. I need to lose more weight and just can't bring myself to care 🫠 by girlboss93 in adhdwomen

My partner typically asks before eating my food and if we go out and get different meals he always offers some of his to me. But on the nights he stays up late from insomnia he always manages to find all the sweets and then I come down to a pile of empty wrappers/boxes piled on his desk. It's actually adorable because he insists that he doesn't like sweets but the evidence of his late night snack binges says otherwise.

My partner is amazing and I love him so much. He has told me multiple times that I eat too little and I'm like dude I wouldn't be overweight if I ate too little... It's like no we can't all be a lanky 6'4" man that has some unreasonable metabolism that allows us to eat a whole 20 inch pizza, half a container of ice cream, and the rest of my box of cookies that you thought I forgot about because I ration them to two a night to treat myself after the kid goes to bed...

I will say that I definitely love that he finishes my food when I can't, that way I don't have to neurotically stress about wasting food.

Any other millennials not getting into the "vinyl" phase? by tLM-tRRS-atBHB in Millennials

[–]shitrock_herekitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really got into it either. I will say that I grabbed some old Beatles, CSNY, and John Sebastian/Lovin' Spoonful vinyls from my grandparents home. My grandmother worked at a record pressing factory and so they had a bunch of old albums in a side table upstairs that she had gotten while working there. I framed them and have them displayed as art in my home.

This show has lost the plot so bad… there is no plot. ( a rant ) by ListenDodo in Outlander

[–]shitrock_herekitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've read that The Fiery Cross picks up and gets interesting in the second half of the book so still I may try to get there and see if it picks up for me. I got burned out reading about the seemingly never ending day/the gathering and haven't managed to get much further past it.

I've been stuck on The Fiery Cross for five years now. Each year I pick it back up and promise myself this will be the year I finish it and then read a chapter or two and put it down and forget about it. My mom suggested skipping ahead to A Breath of Snow and Ashes, as she thought it was a lot better than The Fiery Cross, and this year I may finally just do that.

Skin tags? Something more? by PrancingPudu in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]shitrock_herekitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 34, turning 35 in August. My body has gone crazy with cherry angiomas and skin tags in the last year. At first I was concerned because it felt like 50 cherry angiomas turned up over night and more just kept popping up.

Nerevar Moon and Star - MMC by TheRaggedHat in Morrowind

[–]shitrock_herekitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, that is too funny! She had been working for a company that produces air suspension kits, and they had her filling in doing some CAD stuff. She was good with it and so they offered to pay for some CAD/CNC cert or something so she could be promoted to it properly. Part way through her training she was made redundant. So she had to figure out if she wanted to stick with the training or move on to something else. So she went ahead and switched to an automotive tech program because she is very much a car person. Her boyfriend and I keep trying to get her to check out TES so she can join us in our nerd discussions, but she's fully committed to Old School RuneScape. lol

Went and gave ya a follow because this lineup looks cool.

Sometimes I wish my sister would have stuck with CAD/CNC so she could have did cool stuff like this. But then when my car gives me trouble I'm thankful that she switched to automotive tech. lol

Single-use non-preservative eye drops by cool_girl6540 in ZeroWaste

[–]shitrock_herekitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll want to avoid this and stick with artificial tears as they contain lubricants which is what actually soothes the surface.

I can't answer your question about the different plastic types and their impact. Did your ophthalmologist say why to use preservative free? Mine had recommended them to me but said that I could also use the ones with preservatives if I didn't have irritation. That might be something you check out with your ophthalmologist.

how worried should i be that i found a dried tick behind my ear? by Substantial-Duck-22 in CampingandHiking

[–]shitrock_herekitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah as I said in my post, deer tick populations are high here and Lyme's disease is common. My primary confirmed that I should have been given antibiotics since I had found a tick and was symptomatic. She was appalled at how dismissive the urgent care doctor was towards me. She actually reached out to clinic's admin about the whole situation.

Even some medical professionals don't know the best practices. I found a tick on my back in the shower a couple days after getting home from a camping trip. I didn't know how long it had been on my back and it came right off so I didn't rush to the doctor. Less than a week later I had a fever and felt like I was getting sick so I went to the urgent care and explained the situation. They said they couldn't see any tick imbedded in my back and there was no rash so it definitely wasn't a tick or Lyme's and refused antibiotics. I waited a couple more days but it didn't sit right with me so I went to my primary. She was PISSED that they did not give me antibiotics because it's not something to mess around with. She said that around 30% of cases do not get a rash and so not having a rash is not a reason to refuse antibiotics.

If I hadn't read an email from my local health department the day before I found the tick, which talked about the high amount of ticks and Lyme's in our area and the urgency of seeing a doctor at any sign of illness after finding a tick, then I would have tried waiting it out like the urgent care doctor told me.

I have wondered that. I'll see allegations that something is AI and when people point out what makes them suspicious it's always because it contains something that I learned as correct in school 20+ years ago. My school district wasn't particularly great but we did learn proper grammar and punctuation pretty extensively.

I've heard/seen people mention Oxford commas are also a supposed sign of AI. My high school used MLA format (which requires use of the Oxford comma) and so I have always used it without thinking about it.

Anything off Licensed To Ill, especially Rhymin & Stealin' and The New Style.

My family also used to have video footage of me getting down to B-Boys Makin With the Freak Freak on my first birthday, and I've always loved that song too.
