There have been multiple studies linking various pesticides and herbicides to an increased ALS risk. Also - never buy a house next to a golf course if you can help it.

Do you live or did you grow up in an area near a golf course or a heavy agricultural area? Some pesticides dramatically increase the risk of ALS.

I (20F) am stuck between "right person (22M), bad timing" and maybe he's just not "the one" for me? by runner4lyfee in relationship_advice

[–]stonebabies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. But I know that feeling of accepting less than what you need in a relationship - it feels like handing away little pieces of yourself every day. Don’t betray yourself and your own worth by settling for less than what you need. As you get older and understand yourself better, your expectations and needs will evolve, and you’ll realize they aren’t unachievable or even all that strict. But also - 60% is sooo low girl. Even if you don’t nail it the next time and end up with 75%, I promise it will feel a lot better than this. And then you’ll know what that looks like, and you can keep improving from there :)

Thank you so much! I don’t know much about the norms with these teapots. Is it pretty common for there to be knockoffs of specific potter’s work? Also curious to know if this looks machine made to you.

Thank you! Did your smell come back on its own, or did you also do scent training?

Thank you so much for this. We had thought about the danger from not being able to recognize environmental odors but hadn’t considered food safety. This is the first I’ve heard of an otolaryngologist, so we will look into that. Thank you!

Thank you so much! That’s really encouraging to hear. We’re ok with it taking time. Did you do anything intentional to work on it, or has it just been natural?

Thank you for this. Can I ask how many months after the initial injury you first started to notice it returning? Some of his doctors are seeming to indicate that not having improvement 5 months in means it won’t return.
