Ive been called out on the fidgeting thing a couple times. Mostly people asking if i had too much coffee this morning which then i realize both my legs are bouncing a mile a minute and im drumming the desk like a madman. Internally though i was fine, didnt even realize i was doing it. Anyway, good luck with your testing!

FWIW I have never seen this before. I get what your saying but theres always going to be someone who hasn’t seen it.

The boyfriends just a big fat duck.

This has nothing to do with Crocs but shoes in general. I recently got a pair online that advertised “super squishy” soles. Almost like memory foam but really really soft. They felt great for about 20 minutes then the super squishy, squished out to the sides and in weird places around my foot. They were horrible. If you’ve ever gotten sand inside the fabric of your shoe lining, its a lot like that. I should have returned them, but the pair I was replacing were literally falling apart and i needed shoes. 0/10 would not recommend.

Schwarzman’s pandemic splurge came just as his firm decided to double down on scooping up rental housing. During the housing crash of the Great Recession, Blackstone had snapped up underwater homes for cheap and eventually made a fortune. The Covid collapse offered Blackstone another bite at the apple. In 2021 and 2022, it bought up 200,000 new units of rental housing at bargain-basement interest rates, adding to a portfolio of more than 150,000 rentals and making Blackstone the nation’s biggest corporate landlord… and its rental portfolio has seen a healthy return of about $11 billion over the last decade, hiking rent on some of its properties by nearly 80 percent.

Fuck all billionaires but seriously fuck this guy.

I was watching a stream on YouTube last night (Ryan Hall) of the storm coverage. I had to just close the chat entirely because the amount of ridiculous statements and questions people were posting was legitimately starting to upset me. Some notable ones i remember “I hear theyre sending this storm to africa after florida”. “this is the democrats taking out pockets of trump supporters”. “Calling this a ‘hurricane’ is a way for ‘them’ to funnel ‘dark money’ into the state. its not actually a hurricane so it doesn’t qualify for federal money”.

It was maddening to read and the only way I was able to not lose more faith in humanity is just telling myself they were all disinfo bots. Anyways, hopefully those of you who were affected by the storm are doing ok. Remember your neighbors, people. We’re all in this together.

The original has been on my whishlist since it came out and i just never got around to picking it up. I might have to just splurge on the remaster instead.

Im taking doctor prescribed D2 and B12 along with Folic acid. My blood work always shows those as being low so maybe there is something to this. Ill have to bring it up to my doc next time, thanks!

Im hearing that meds only sorta help quite a bit in this thread. It sucks that they aren’t more effective for people, but it does make me feel better about my situation. Thanks for your input!

Thanks for your thoughts on this! Ill be honest, I don’t eat the healthiest and that has been something my doctors have brought up. Trying to figure out what is triggering me sounds daunting, but I will most likely have to do this at some point. Why do our bodies have to be so dumb sometimes? lol

I keep holding out hope that there will be some kind of magic bullet cure, but the more I hear from people, the more I’m starting to think Ive just got normal, bad allergies. Thanks for the reply! The (gross) comment you made, is something ive dealt with a few times this year, so that makes me feel better…in a gross kind of way, lol.

I have noticed that the first week or two that im on a new med, It feels like its working better. Maybe there is something going on where your body gets used to the medicine its on, and switching helps? IDK, I’ll have to ask my Doctor next time. TY!

That’s a great analogy. It really puts things into perspective that its a combo of many things, not just a couple. Ive stopped all meds a few times since this started and i felt like I was gonna die, so they are for sure helping to some degree. Thanks for your insight!

Your story sounds a lot like mine tbh. Thats what prompted me to make this post is wondering if its semi common to find out about allergies later in life. Thanks for your reply!

Hmm, Ive never been to Vegas before… maybe its worth a trip now, lol.

I actually have 4 air purifiers in my room and keep it surgically clean since this whole thing started. I do shower in the morning though, so thats a hot tip. Ill try at night and see if that helps! Ive pretty much been doing everything but the allergy shots at this point. Committing to 3-6 years of shots kind of sucks, but thats why i was asking here. Thanks for the reply!

I used it all the time to save text temporarily in. Note worked too, but i like the line break that WordPad had. It made reading and formatting easier.

Interesting with the food allergy thing. Ive had that a few times in my life but its not a consistent thing for me. Thanks!

Im reminded of KurtJMac walking to the Farlands in Minecraft. Guy just started walking 13 years ago and has kept going all this time. The last time he checked his coordinates he was 9,864,725 blocks from spawn. Hes about 70% of the way there so only a few more years to go!
