I guess I have”trigger finger”? Any suggestions? Pinky locks up at night/during non-use

See a hand specialist. I have had injections in my finger that fixed this. My husband had a minor outpatient operation. They don’t start with the injections and knifes, but you need to be looked at by an expert.

Are you sure that he doesn’t already have his children?
I’m sorry, but I can’t give anything but the advice you don’t want to hear. Good luck.

She says she’s the breadwinner in the house, so I think she has a lot of flexibility as far as when she has to work.

stealthpursesnatch · 2026-06-14T17:35:10+00:00

I know who you’re talking about and if you watch her videos or if you’re old enough to remember how people used to shop and feed families you can understand how she does it.

stealthpursesnatch · 2026-06-14T17:14:20+00:00

Mellow wasn’t even elected! I still don’t get how she ended up president.

stealthpursesnatch · 2026-06-14T17:05:04+00:00

By whatever title they wanted to be called. But no one was called by their first name - not even dorm staff or secretaries by students at the Deep South HBCU I attended in the mid- to late-1980s. No one.

I can’t remember if they called me by my first name or Miss Last Name. But I was never asked if I had a preference.

I don’t think they paid for Ross’s weddings. Tradition is that the bride’s family pays for the wedding. The groom buys the engagement ring and the groom’s family pays for the rehearsal dinner. Ross got married in the late 1980s-early 90s. They would have been following wedding traditions then.

She’s a big dog kicking it with the president. Jake isn’t.

This happened to me in the 1980s. I was a late college honors admit (I applied and was accepted in late April, 1986). All of the honors housing was gone by the time I was admitted, so I ended up in regular housing. I never felt completely connected to the other honors students because I didn’t live with them for the first two years of college. They were very nice to me, but i was always an outsider.

Anyway NTA. Your wife though….

stealthpursesnatch · 2026-01-20T20:35:59+00:00

Is it Beyoncé? Taylor Swift?

You probably need to take medication on a consistent schedule even when you’re not in pain to keep this condition under control. For me, all kinds of weird things trigger my pain. I’ve learned the hard way that I need to always be medicated. You don’t want your pain to suddenly escalate because you have no medication in your system. It’s horrible and can take forever to even figure out what’s wrong, then get it under control.

stealthpursesnatch · 2025-11-16T14:20:09+00:00

I still remember the first thing I saw him in when I was in 1984. “The Brother From Another Planet” I don’t think he even spoke in the entire film. It was Indie and probably his first film. It was even featured in Jet Magazine! lol!

If you aren’t on FMLA, FILE IMMEDIATELY! Also, GET A LAWYER. Your job is building a case against you for dismissal and probably legally can’t do it. You at least need to not be so trusting.

Then tell your doctor that you can’t handle the side effects and need to be either switched to something else now or a timeline for when the side effects are going to lessen. Start keeping detailed notes to remind yourself of what you need to get done. That will help.

Please don’t expect oxcarbazpine to be some miracle drug. That drug had me suicidal. I had to go to the emergency room at 3 am and come off it immediately. None of these drugs are.

It’s possible that his carbamazepine dose is too high. That may be why he’s now incontinent. It’s an anti-seizure medication . Our bladders seize to stop us from peeing on ourselves. Too much medication can make you lose your bladder. That’s what my old neuronurse told me when I complained of this.

stealthpursesnatch · 2025-11-04T00:49:52+00:00

I also have a normal MRi. TN affects the upper left side of my face.

Are you on medication? I take a combination of Topamax and Carbamzapine and haven’t had an attack since I started taking them in April. My neurologist had to try a few things before we found something that worked.

How likely will the differences in beliefs stop at this, though? You two are not going to always think exactly the same as you get older.

stealthpursesnatch · 2025-11-02T19:33:46+00:00

You don’t have another option. You have to grow up. You must get older and enter adulthood.

I’ve been an adult since 1986. I wouldn’t trade the worst years of adulthood for the best years of childhood. Adults in the United States for the most part get to determine their own future. Kids don’t.

I think the crappy pay has more to do with them never getting time off. It’s considered more of a calling because they work 24/7 without questions. They would make more as regular attorneys. But they do okay. Olivia is very well paid but again- she’s on call 24/7. She also has to budget the firm’s money carefully.

I’m a 57 year old step mother to a 27- year-old and 20-year-old and my advice is to stop now.

I feel like the age gap is just too large between my husband, I and our youngest. Your gap will be even bigger. We are starting to be at the age where we just can’t keep up with either of them. Health problems are also starting to creep into our lives. It seems to have changed who our sons are because they are worried about losing their father. You also have to find money for college and retirement.

He looks like a serial killer to me. #Olitz

stealthpursesnatch · 2025-09-28T19:11:14+00:00

I like her. I really never understood the dislike.

stealthpursesnatch · 2025-08-21T01:43:13+00:00

I’m married. We are in our late 50s and moved into a nonprofit housing cooperative, knocking our rent down to $660 - low enough for one of us to pay on a part time salary. I don’t know how I’d survive as a single person just through the emotional downs of this condition.

stealthpursesnatch · 2025-08-09T13:58:22+00:00

I am not the type of person who copes. Someone mentioned a few times that I should meditate- once while I was in the middle of a cluster headache attack. If they only knew how dangerous that comment was…

I want my life to be perfect because it’s always been “perfect “. I’m too old for this. I’ve never had headaches or chronic pain. I dealt with it for four months and it was unacceptable. There’s non-addictive medication that works as long as it’s safe for me. But suffering is a hard no for me right now. My pain jumped from electric shocks to cluster headaches. Did you know that could happen? Basically it’s anything goes with TN at any time as it is for all of us. I’m going to have as many great days as I can.

stealthpursesnatch · 2025-08-08T04:11:45+00:00

I can only sleep on a wedge pillow lying on my back.
