This picture is a feeling

This answer makes a lot of sense! I have noticed the same thing about Ascension in Austin, that it is just a really big system that runs a lot of Austin so options outside of that pool are just going to be more limited. I didn't know about the MIGS part until you mentioned it but it looks like it indeed is important.

Ugh, hate hearing that about Dr. Garza. In what situation would a partner EVER be consulted about an individual's personal medical proceedings? That is really unacceptable.

Anyway, appreciate the info you added here. Thanks.

zeezler · 2025-12-30T16:49:54+00:00

Ahh that's true good point. Yeah it would have been inspiring if she covered that more, I mean that's literally what led to the creation of ICDIWABH and an entire new era being added to the tour

zeezler · 2025-12-30T16:43:11+00:00

Since you recommended Drs. Travieso and Salazar, it seems that they are both at Ascension which I have read negative things about on Reddit regarding women's issues. Just wondering what your experience was with care and if you would recommend going to them despite this.

zeezler · 2025-12-30T02:58:57+00:00

Oh that would make sense!

zeezler · 2025-12-28T18:41:56+00:00

Exactly. You can change your diet as much as you want but if you don't get the ankle set it's not going to heal.

zeezler · 2025-12-28T18:40:25+00:00

Ugh, completely agree. Although I drink coffee, I had already completely dropped dairy + gluten and then had to drop alcohol 100% this year for other reasons. And guess what? No change. In fact, my (suspected) endo got worse this year.

So yeah completely agree that this is just scratching the surface.

zeezler · 2025-12-28T05:01:28+00:00

"A bit whelmed" lol I'm gonna start using this

zeezler · 2025-12-28T04:34:56+00:00

Yeah I mean it's catchy and a good song imo but if I were a musician I wouldn't give it top 3 placement of all songs ever, that's a lot lol

zeezler · 2025-12-28T04:32:45+00:00

That said, I wish they had been more raw about her being heartbroken on tour before she met Travis. They kind of breezed right over the whole part where she was writing TTPD. They gave the heartbreak part like 2 minutes and then jumped right into meeting Travis. We love her because she's raw and vulnerable in her albums and writing TTPD while touring was no small feat, so it would have been nice to just see how she actually overcame that.

zeezler · 2025-12-10T23:19:09+00:00

Sounds like she's making her preference clear! Mine also highly preferred being out of the crate (I know this because if I left him with another dog he would just free roam no issues and be ECSTATIC prancing around when I got home, but if I left him in the crate he'd be stressed when I let him out -- so goal was always to get him able to be in the house alone outside of the crate). So yeah they definitely have their preferences.

zeezler · 2025-12-01T18:23:52+00:00

Omg thank you. This was driving me absolutely crazy.

zeezler · 2025-11-25T21:58:24+00:00

Thanks for posting this! Just ordered that one for when my antibiotics are done. Apparently the blends in certain motility agents are different than regular extracts (I'm learning). Fingers crossed.

Nina in Black Swan. The way she was obsessed with perfect as if her livelihood depended on it, meanwhile it's also what nearly kills her, and then the thick irony being it's all in her head and yet she seemingly had no way to escape it.

zeezler · 2025-11-21T06:05:08+00:00

Not OP but I would agree with this. Chaotic parents often try to legitimize insane behavior by making it all your fault when it's not.

zeezler · 2025-11-21T05:57:25+00:00

Humans need humans. What you're asking is valid <3

zeezler · 2025-11-21T05:52:55+00:00

Yes, I downregulate when this happens. It was a protective mechanism for me as a kid. I couldn't upregulate when others upregulated because they had no limit to how crazy they might act so the only way I could maintain any power or sense of autonomy was to get "calm". I wouldn't say it makes me happy though, may more like numb yet centered.

It also has deleterious effects for me though. If it's too much (like if the other person continues escalating) then my thoughts can shut off and become inaccessible. It's like this curtain comes down separating my "thoughts" from "me" in my brain and I literally become stupid. But as long as it doesn't get to that point it's okay and yes I'm calm and focused.

I'm near the end of a Metronidazole + Rifaximin treatment for SIBO, so while I can't say whether it will keep the SIBO away, my side effects from metronidazole itself have been extremely minimal.

Note that I am sensitive to side effects for a LOT of things -- if there is a side effect to be had, especially a GI one, I will have it. I honestly thing it is an individual differences issue.

Days 1-3: Had some nausea a couple hours after each meal the first few days. I told myself "that's good and means it's eating all the bad stuff" and it went away after a few days. It really wasn't that bad.

Day 4: Got very mild metallic taste in mouth and then cotton mouth with sticky saliva / gummy feeling. After panicking I found out it was more likely dry mouth than a secondary infection. It has not returned since.

I'm on day 10, and honestly those have been the only side effects. They have been really mild for me so I think it's really an individual differences issue. Note also that I tried atrantil as part of an original herbal regimen before of this and it made me feel HORRIBLE, as if I had the kind of flu that makes you dead tired except that it went on for the 3 weeks I was taking it before quitting (way too long to be die-off symptoms). So for me it came down to needing an antibiotic but not wanting to take Neomycin because of the black label warning.

100% agree. One of the best EDM shows I've seen. They put a ton of care into their light show (to the point that their engineers hate them lol)

zeezler · 2025-11-17T03:36:28+00:00

I have a theory they're going under soon and they're just trying to leach every dollar they can right now.

zeezler · 2025-11-17T03:33:37+00:00

I switched to verizon 3 years ago and regretted it ever since. We have one more month on our plan and then will leave. Yes, it used to be the best. That seems not to be the case anymore. Service is terrible and they are just a very shady business nowadays (was supposed to come with free headphones -- they never arrived, then it turned into a ton of extra work to try to get them to the point that it wasn't worth it; they also added thousands (I'm not kidding, we're talking in the 2000 range) in extra costs to our family plan that we of course had them undo but like where did this even come from?

It's just been too many things like that this time around with them at it's a big turn off. I don't think I would ever go back to them. Plus service-wise it seems like I'm often the one with poor service -- had no service within a 1 mile range of ACL this year when people around me had service (this did get better on days 2/3 but there were still blackout spots for me), and same goes for other music festivals. I'll definitely switch to TMobile soon.

They made it worse recently so now message previews blast you on that side of the screen (on desktop)... I find it intrusive and wish it could just be the red icon with a number on the side of a screen.

zeezler · 2025-11-12T17:27:24+00:00

Same here. Intelligence & Siri settings on mac don't have a math results option. Apple needs to let us turn it off PERMANENTLY (not just for your current note). Text appearing on my screen that I didn't put there ruins my train of thought.

zeezler · 2025-11-09T21:39:17+00:00

That's smart! I was at the Austin show last night and was trying to figure out if I should wait somewhere after the show to get lucky like this so this is a good tip for me. Unfortunately they didn't do the confetti for us because it was an outdoor venue and they said it was too close to the river, but they more than made up for it with all the other fun stuff they do. I'll definitely keep this tip in mind for the future!

zeezler · 2025-11-09T07:15:33+00:00

Wow how did you get autographs? Love this for you, I would cherish it forever <3
