People kept telling me how nasty the prep juice was. I thought they were exaggerating. It’s really that bad 😭 by VRbattleGod in ibs

Non-purple as well. I called and they wouldn't let me have blue jello either even though no red40 was in it. No purple or red nail polish

It's the "would you rather clean a slimy algae riddled inflatable pool or just trash it and go buy a new one?" Mentality

Sorry that wasn't directed to you in particular, more of a "these idiots don't deserve privacy" type thing since they are posting on a public video after all.

Does anyone have a gnawing sensation in the epigastric? Is that GERD or gastritis? by strivingpotato in Gastritis

[–]VirginArtillery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The burning pain shown in the diagram, it's sometimes helped by eating. Vaping seems to be a trigger for it as well. My husband's vape juice has propylene glycol in it which can make some people's stomach burn. I thought I was just being ridiculous until I tested and timed the reaction.

They we're telling me gastritis or a stomach ulcer. I get violently I'll when I drink even a couple beers, stomach burns, the next morning and most of the day I'll be stuck in bed with stomach pain so bad I'd rather go through childbirth again and then I start vomiting bile. The last time, I had 3 beers and couldn't leave the bed until about 3pm except to vomit.

The other issue is I've been dealing with trapped gas for over a year now. I lifted an old thick queen mattress on to the back of a truck that was piled with garbage by myself in the rain and I was doing great until I was trying to drag the last foot of the mattress up to the cab and I heard a loud pop in my pelvis and threw my lower back out, the trapped gas in my large intestine started from that point and so did the constipation. It feels like I can't release, like something is gripping and holding my rectum shut and I have to force even diarrhea out.

I had a Contrast MRI in December 2021 that showed bowel wall thickening, thickening in the stomach wall but nothing significant. Went to see a urogynecologist because of pelvic pain related to all this and she found I had a stage 1 rectal prolapse and that the entire left side of my pelvic floor is locked up, hypertonic pelvic floor. It's too tense and can't relax, basically like it's stuck in a kegal squeeze. So it's possible that's causing the constipation and trapped gas. I've been seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist to try to release that and it's helped but not enough.

CT Scan in May 2022 showed no bowel thickening or stomach issues, only a slightly enlarged liver but she said my enzymes were fine and it could be related to my weight or alcohol consumption but my drinking is just 1 night a week because I've had the kids all week. I didn't think that would make such a dent.

Colonoscopy and endoscopy found no bowel thickening, no ulcers, nothing. So I'm back to square 1.

I have that, they thought it was gastritis but after a endoscopy/colonoscopy on Tuesday they found nothing 😤

My girlfriend loves playing with my butt and I'm gonna ask her to peg me by lukeskysnacker in pegging_unkinked

[–]VirginArtillery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep that's what we have. We have a strap one too but I'm not skinny so I prefer the strapless one because at least I get something out of it too. 😏

Pegging my husband has been an experience, I never knew how many muscles you guys use for the thrusting. I was so sore the next day after our first time. Kudos to men for that level of stamina 🤣 And on a side note, nothing prepares you for having your husband bounce on top like cowgirl position.

Luckily, I bought a house and my property taxes are rolled into the mortgage soooo. That being said, if I cheap out and go with the easiest option it will likely have pit in it and I refuse. So I'll pay the price to ensure my kids safety.

I'm perfectly ok with paying $2k for a mutt, especially a cute, family friendly one that I can ensure has zero pit in them. I get the commenters point that doodles aren't ethically bred but neither are pits and at this point, I don't care. I just don't want a pit or any slight percentage of it. You can also argue that mutts genetically would be healthier because you get the strongest genes from each parent. With purebreds they could be inbred like those bully's someone posted yesterday that was literally bred with it's father. Growing up we had mostly mutts and rarely needed vet visits other than some routine rabies shots because we lived in a rural area.

Yea I've heard nothing but good things. Though I only know 4 different people who have them so my pool is rather small, I'd likely go with the breeder that one of my friends got theirs from. Since it would be local anyways I could meet the owners, see the kennels, meet the parents, etc.

That's exactly what I'd look for. I had an amazing lab growing up, solid white and the bestest friend I could ask for. I'd kill to find that again.

It's for the kids, they miss our black lab but she was so damn jumpy. As for Golden's, I got my ass literally tore the fuck up by a golden retriever as a kid, scars on my legs and hand still, I won't own one. My kids are too loud and high energy for even a mildly reactive dog. My neighbors doodle is incredible with her autistic son and I'm hoping for that kind of energy from a dog. My children love their dog but they also have a pit so they're only allowed to pet their dog when the pit isn't in the front yard as well. I allow her son to come play with my kids but I won't allow my kids into their house because of the pit and their black lab/pit mix.

We plan to get another dog soon since the sudden loss of our black lab last December but we're going on a cruise the week after Christmas and I will be searching for a boarding facility that bans pits as well. That's even if I can find a dog by then, too many "lab mixes" on Facebook groups and rescues. Looks like we're going to need to save up $1000-2000 for a golden doodle or something.

Nearly 1 in 4 young Hongkongers from low-income families ‘lying flat’: survey by uncomfortablehistory in collapse

[–]VirginArtillery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far. I mean they're still young 4 and 5 so it's hard to tell how it will pan out later in life.

My husband is mostly fit, above average intelligence, extremely good with money, good hair, good vision, great facial features and jaw line, no cancer in his family BUT he has ADHD, his whole family has really weak teeth that break and rot even with regular brushing and they're not straight, he had to have 15 teeth removed in 1 day and a top plate denture made 2 years ago at the age of 31, and one of his 3 brothers was born with congenital porphyria (basically he was allergic to the sun) and due to that condition had kidney issues that lead to his death at the age of 20 so we had a fear of one of our kids having it since my husband was a carrier and his paternal uncle had a mild case of porphyria but luckily they didn't inherit it.

My son has perfectly straight teeth, strong jawline and facial features, he has a buff guy build at age 4 lol, really thick straight dirty blonde hair, no ADHD or sensory problems.

My daughter (5) had a hemangioma on her arm at birth that we had surgically removed at 19 months because it was about the size of a quarter and raised up like a bouncy ball cut in half, she's always been a petite and a slim figure like her dad, her teeth a good and straight but she has a gap with the two front teeth and red hair from my mother-in-law. My daughter inherited my husband's ADHD though and my sensory processing issues, which I'm not sure is an inherited trait but all his brothers are diagnosed ADHD as well. She is very smart and into stem projects but I credit that to her having 2 years of preschool and pre-k before she starts kindergarten in August. We have struggled a lot with her, she had 2 rounds of speech therapy, we finish occupational therapy next week 🎉, and we still have behavioral therapy as a family and she's on Guanfacine to help regulate her impulsions.

No visions issues with either kid and they both got their dad's blue eyes. I have a red-headed child with blue eyes. 🤣 The genes from my husband's side were strong AF.

Sorry for the wall of text but it's interesting how a parent can have what is considered relatively good genes and a few not so stellar ones and the kid still be a grab bag of whatever. Neither one has so far got my weight issues trait. My mother was large, my dad was slim, I got my mom's thick thighs and ability to easily gain weight. 🙄

Edit: oh and we're both functioning alcoholics as well but so are my parents and his parents.

Right, bare minimum, I don't want to walk all that junk through the hot sand and lug it all back after I'm tired from swimming.
