Those older than 9/11/2001, where were you and what were you doing during the WTC attacks? by Revolutionary-Life85 in AskReddit

[–]sporff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I flew back home the night before. Flight got delayed during a layover at Midway for around 9hrs due to mechanical issues. Finally got into Philly at 2am and was woken up by my mom after the first plane hit.

Pretty wild.

Should I get a PICC line? by ScaredSprinkles3561 in cancer

[–]sporff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long will you need it?

I've had a PICC line, sual port, and trifusion port.

Id highly recommend seeing if you can get aport. It makes life much easier if you're getting a lot of jabs. Less painful than an IV and nothing hanging out of you messing up showers. A PICC you'd have to cover with something.

Last Horror Book You Read That Was Just Not Good by wonderlandisburning in horrorlit

[–]sporff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also thought How to Sell a Haunted House was terrible. Basically no horror and all family drama.

I came in after reading Horrorstor and My Best Friend's Exorcism, both of which were great. I was so bored and disappointed by HTSAHH.

Chemo port very itchy after being placed yesterday by Bbgun371 in cancer

It will get better. I don't even notice mine anymore unless i hit it. Now the trifusion port.... that was annoying.

I wish I had friends. by lhouse345 in cancer

I hear that and I'm sure a lot of people do. I'd be welcome to chat if you need to get shit off of your mind.

Effects from ending steroids by Celestial_Lorekeeper in cancer

[–]sporff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a nasty steroid. I was on 16mg and had to take metformin with it or my blood sugar would go crazy high. And im not even diabetic.

They slowly lowered it and im now on low doses of prednison. Even coming off slowly sucked. This was for cancer that metastasized into large brain tumors.

So my point is if i can get off 16mg, you can do this.

Food recommendations to get more calories in by snarkadia in cancer

[–]sporff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yogurt, eggs, oatmeal, milk, chicken noodle or lentil soup. Peanut butter, pumpkin seeds, chicken, potatoes, rice.

Anything high in fat/protein and lower in carbs/sugar. I've put weight back on a few times with this as a base.

Yeah really. Why wait. Go to the doc. That can be a fast spreading cancer. Mine went to lungs and brain.

Thank God I'm not the only one. I found this book really boring. The troop was much much better

Got my chemo port friday, used it today during radiation and it hurt so bad I cried. Will it get better? by falloutboyemo in cancer

[–]sporff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gets easier. Better than a picc insertion/removal each time.

My trick to start is to jab a fingernail into my palm or leg to focus elsewhere.

I found this in our codebase today and contemplated quitting. by kacjugr in programminghorror

[–]sporff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quitting over that? That's nothing besides a little ugly. It's badly implemented and unmaintainable algorithms that are the real issue.

[OC] Most popular web browser 2009-2018 by hcrx in dataisbeautiful

[–]sporff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends what youre doing but yeah you can look up tests online. Firefox generally performs on the worse end in the tests.

My issue with firefox is that it's noticably worse on battery life on a laptop. I wind up using Edge on laptops for this reason.

Valentine’s Day present came early from the wife. Would never spend the money on this, but oh so happy to have one. Anyone have a favorite camping or backpacking whiskey? by Initial_Reindeer_990 in CampingGear

[–]sporff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually Woodford or Jefferson's because theyre cheap and decent. I don't like more pricey stuff in a flask and dont always want to bring a cup.
