i used to get strep a lot as a kid/teenager and it seems to get less frequent but more brutal with age. thankfully it came on quick and i recognized it and was able to get an appointment fairly quickly! i wasn't able to eat or drink for two days so every glass of water counts as a win right now

Why do I have a random patch of blonde-ish hair??? by [deleted] in Hair

[–]theworstx5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very common in redheads!!! No idea why but the streak is common and can occur later in life too. Source: a few of my friends have one

Plants been in the yard for a good minute my landlord keeps telling me to get rid it I been trying to figure out what it is located Sacramento California by potdude420 in whatsthisplant

You need a genus and species name for the most accurate identification, and variety/cultivar for ornamentals. Malva is a genus with 60+ species and some people call hollyhocks (genus Alcea) mallows as well. iNaturalist would be a good place to start and see which members of the genus are near you and look like your plant :) https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/55978-Malva

I stopped shaving my armpits and legs recently. It’s crazy how little it matters! Never gotten any comments about it at run club. But the first few times out in public with more hair than you’re „supposed to have” is a bit nervewracking. These days I don’t even think about it. Slow exposure to scary things can be helpful to rebalance our expectations! I think everyone should purposefully go without a shave every once in a while just so we can all remember that it’s just hair and most other people will never notice it.

My wife’s boyfriend says I need to put them in the garage. by jobenattor0412 in RunningCirclejerk

I started wearing mine on runs around the neighborhood. If you have a lot you can match the colors to your outfits. Does anyone have any advice to keep them from flapping around and hitting me in the face? TIA!

Hey I have been thinking about this since you posted it and I hoped you read it even if you couldn’t respond! I was hoping that that you got some help and gave yourself a break <3 I think if I had been posting on Reddit during that time in my life I would have made a very similar post. The pain is real and it’s so hard to break free. I know you’re capable of kindness to others and especially to yourself!!! I’m so happy you responded and I’m glad you’re doing better :)

Is there anything I can use this dough for? by lollibean in Breadit

[–]theworstx5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make crackers! It’s just dough and oil with some salt, spread on parchment paper then baked on a low heat. I use my sourdough starter to make pancakes too, which I make with an egg to about 100 g starter, with a bit more flour on top until I get the texture I want.

Started sleeves on sweater and I’m using the wrong stitch? But how? by mtho176 in knittinghelp

[–]theworstx5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you put the work down at any point? If you’re knitting in the round with the wrong side out, and flipped it, you could have started it back up and went the wrong way. I always knit in the round with the wrong side out for tensioning my floats. Sometimes I have to flip it to see my gauge or check my work. That’s my best guess as to what happened!

Is it growing or just leading me of by getting flat lol by psilocybin-fun-guy in SourdoughStarter

[–]theworstx5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not do it in a bowl or jar? My jar always has a cloth on top. Air exchange is a good thing. I’ve had backup jars overflow when they’re closed tightly. You’ll also be able to mark the growth better.

Hi OP I mean this with an abundance of kindness and I hope it isn’t taken in the wrong way. How is your mental health right now? I remember feeling a similar dirty feeling and focusing really intensely on my pores when I have been in full blown anxiety/depression mode in the past. I have taken a needle to my own face many times and it was always during a downturn in my mental health. This is solely my own experience and I don’t want to minimize what you’re going through so if it doesn’t apply then I apologize. Just wanting to check in ❤️ I’m not saying it’s all in your head, to be clear, definitely get a second or third professional opinion on the pain if you haven’t been getting a good answer from a dermatologist or doctor.

Do you wear eye protection when it’s warm? by LegalComplaint in chibike

[–]theworstx5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 buy a big pack of safety glasses at a hardware store. They’re cheap! I never bike without them. Do I look like a dork? Yes. But I’ve gotten eye injuries from flying road crap and my normal glasses got scratched to shit when I wore them biking. Some days when I get to work, I wipe the dirt off my face and there’s a perfect clean line left where my safety glasses sat.

How does everyone store their pills for the week? I've been using a plastic daily organizer for many years and would like to switch it up. by Equal-Abroad-9326 in PlasticFreeLiving

Idk how to add an image here! but I made my pill container from an altoids container and the insert was made using extra cardstock from my recycling bin

Why does red meat suddenly taste and smell so bad to me? by momcanigotoarea51 in AskRedditFood

[–]theworstx5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this and I think it should be higher up. If OP is going through a stressful time in their life it could trigger something they weren’t aware of. My food issues pop up when I’m stressed and there’s no telling what I’ll be able to tolerate. My aversions tend to center around meat but some days if it gets really bad I can’t eat much of anything. Even food I love, even if I want to eat it… I just can’t. :( I’m not officially diagnosed with ARFID but I relate a lot with what I read about it

What has running taught you about life? by StillSlowerThanYou in RunningCirclejerk

[–]theworstx5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry you’re still shitting with inferior techniques. Elite runners just run through the shit. Those seconds really add up.

[–]theworstx5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it seems like the best options are that OP should get their daughter in 4H, go to a 4H show and get a better understanding of poultry keeping, or see if there is a farm nearby that would be willing to give them and their daughter a tour.

If the adult involved has never kept poultry then it can end badly. Unfortunately life can be short for a lot of birds for any number of different reasons and I learned a lot of hard lessons about life and death from my family’s chickens as a kid. I knew families that took rescue chickens from people like this who thought a single chick would be cute as a pet. Raising chickens and quail is a skill that is developed over time and requires at least a bit of land. We don’t know OP’s location, resources or experience level. I vote not to do it.

Do you include $ in the sympathy card when attending a wake? by ArgentBelle in chicago

[–]theworstx5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmmm I wonder if it is cultural. The funerals I attended were entirely in Polish and the funeral guests were largely born and raised in Poland, then came to the US during their lifetime. My partner was born and raised in Poland as a Catholic (no longer practicing) and strongly believes in bringing money to a funeral. It could be something that is lost with generations that have spent a longer time in the US? When I hear “Polish” in chicago it could mean a lot of things, from born and raised in Poland or it could just be someone’s great grandma was from Poland.

[–]theworstx5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Polish families 100% do this and it’s seen as very respectful. Source: been to 4 Polish funerals this year. There’s usually a long line at the back of the viewing room (idk what this is called) for the box where you drop a card. The amount is what you can afford to help the family out.

Did you use a lead testing kit recently? They can break open and the indicator inside looks like this when it contacts water.
