I cannot remember this Halloween movie that I am pretty sure aired during 13 Nights of Halloween on ABC Family sometime 2004 to 2008.

I don't think I am thinking of The Hollow. I really thought Azura Skye was in it along with a brown haired unpopular kid.

I remember it being graphic in the sense that I remember a scene in school where the girl starts screaming and crying on the ground and seeing something no one else can see.

Like this has been happening to multiple kids and no one believed them.

The Hangmans curse was a possibility but that doesnt look quite right either.

I am trying to make the decision between Contrave and wegovy. I have gerd and sibo so we thought not affecting my digestion would be better. Its already slow and trying ppis lately make me vomit. Managing these has already ruled my life.

But I also have bad anxiety and panic issues. And I struggle with s*icidal thoughts in the past.

So I take clonazapam or Xanax as needed. I am afraid of the seizure risk here. Would I not be able to take them anymore?

I also worry if it would really help me. I dont know that I struggle with binge eating. I've been told I have lipedema and diet and exercise wont help me. I struggle to accept this because before covid I lost 80 pounds and sadly gained most back.

I have wondered if it would help my ocd or focus issues. Inflammation is a big issue.

Nothing to lose weight works like it used to. I could eat once a day and gain 2 pounds the next.

I just want to be losing like everyone else seems to. All the skinny people at my job are taking it but eating horribly. I feel like i try so hard and want to be successful too :(

Apologies but I've been reading every post I can and watching a ton of videos and advice seems to differ.

We are hoping to tie dye for the first time today using one of those kits from Amazon. I also bought soda ash and a few plastic tubs and gloves.

Does anyone have a good visual step by step beginner guide?

When people say they are soaking their shirts first, are they just soaking in water or is it a certain soda ash solution? How long/much is best?

Do you have to completely bring out all moisture in the washing machine first or should the shirt be totally dry before you scrunch and dye? Or can we just wring and hang it up a bit?

Is sprinkling after you dye the better option?

I just thought I had to scrunch a damp shirt, squirrel the dye and hope for the best 😄 but I would like it to be vibrant and I am stressed I will do it wrong because I know these dyes arent the best and don't last as long.

Thank you so much in advance for any help. I'm excited because I've been waiting years to try!

I have had a 2 week sample of Contrave that I am scared to try because I've had self harm thoughts in the past and bad panic and anxiety.

How long should you try Contrave before being able to see if there are any psychiatric effects? And if there are, do they settle down if you keep at it or is it best to stop?

I am trying to force my brother onto a cruise. So far we have only done Disney. They mostly had crafts during the day and one morning with an obstacle course.

We were considering virgin voyages and royal caribbean. I have a better deal with virgin voyages but royal seems like theres more stuff to do for him like mini golf, rock climbing, etc.

I'm not as interested in shows but just curious what kinda things are there during the day?

Thanks!

I was really excited about trying Contrave until I came to reddit 😄 as with most things, I read the horror stories and talk myself out of it.

I am really too scared of the glp1s because I have sibo and gerd and the idea of anything slowing down my digestion even more or making those things worse or permanent complications scares me.

But everything I used to do to lose weight is just not working.

My dr and I decided Contrave might be a better fit for me. I dont know that my doctor knew I've had s*icidal thoughts when things are bad but she thought with my health issues maybe this would work well.

Does depression and fatigue get worse? While the idea of that scares me, I am more concerned about seizures if you eat the wrong thing?

How does the seizure risk work? I have no history of them. I plan to try to eat blandly but if I have a meal thats more on the "fun" side does something bad happen?

To be clear, I dont plan to binge or overeat or anything like that, but if I go out to a restaurant and have something out of the norm for dinner or take my pill in the morning and have a little Chinese food or something for dinner, do you run the risk of a seizure?

Also probably stupid but would you suddenly have a higher risk with flashing lights or roller coasters?

Thank you for listening to my jumbled thoughts

I am 37 years old, have vaginismus that make pap smears the worst pain ever, a fibroid, and unfortunately pretty overweight. I lost 80 pounds and gained most back after covid.

I have always had to plan my life around my periods because of the possibility of terrible cramps. My doctors have always shrugged this off until a few years ago when I had hours of awful period cramp pain so terrible I almost went to the er.

My doctor at the time found one fibroid and just wanted to keep an eye on it. For two years I kept getting the external ultrasounds and it just keeps getting a little bigger. A year ago it was a golf ball.

My results a year ago say "4.8 cm subserosal fibroid posterior uterine body. Normal adnexa."

Last month I had 3 hours straight of blinding painful cramps on day 2, the kind where you cant sit still but also cant stand. And all you can do is pray it stops. Naproxen advil and Tylenol didnt touch it.

I am now terrified of my period next week. I have to keep using sick time at work and planning my life around it because of the chance that could happen again. I miss out on events and I just overall hate worrying about it.

My dr has only ever offered birth control but acknowledged it could make it bigger. I loved the idea of maybe no more periods but because I am having such trouble losing weight, I chickened out on trying it.

She has told me in the past I "might have a little endometriosis" but shrugged when she said it and that was that. She never felt like removing the fibroid because they just come back, according to her.

She finally suggested i go for surgical consult but dismissed me when I asked for advice on what surgeons were best if they consider hysterectomy, saying they probably wouldn't offer you that first.

I am been doom googling and I just feel like if im going to have surgery and the fibroids usually come back, how do I make the decision on just removing the fibroid or something else?

Kids and pregnancy arent in the cards for me but I know there are so many risks with hysterectomy surgery. I keep reading the horror stories even if I keep my ovaries. I love the lack of a cancer risk even though i'm not having sex.

And I just love the idea of not worrying about pain every month. Maybe feeling better and being able to exercise more and eat right. Because my bloating and digestion from SIBO and GERD are also horrible. I am hoping not overdosing on NSAIDS anymore could help with that. Maybe pap smears would be better?

But what if something goes wrong or there are complications?

If anyone has advice on what I should make sure to ask and consider, I would appreciate it. Should i do pelvic therapy first?

I am reading all the posts lol I plan to make appointments with at least 3 doctors. I wish I knew who would be the best for me.

Thank you! Sorry for the ramble. Its keeping me up at night

Edit: also located on Long Island if anyone has surgeons reccs 😄

Has anyone else been taking the latest civil service tests? Their new email system has been a frustrating mess but I heard that all the Nassau tests for this weekend are to be at the community college instead of local schools.

Just curious if anyone has any experience taking them there.

A facebook account ripped and stole a video i made. It was a capcut meme video with a picture I took as the background. I reported them to get it taken down and Facebook responded in my favor.

​

Since then, the account that apparently has done this a few times to others, has badgered me on my social media accounts and email to retract the claim.

​

I just want them to leave me alone but I was worried if I retracted because we "worked it out" will my page get penalized at all? With my views or monetization? I just started doing well and dont want anything to ruin it.

Now that its been a few weeks since the menu changes have been implemented, does anyone know if the plain menu/lighter fare is still available at all? I have a lot of allergies and a tummy that is often irritable so depending on the day, these were a relief to know they were still there.

Are they still available or would you have to pre-order it?

Does anyone have recommendations for lawyers familiar with copyright issues who have free consultations or are low cost if you are low income?
