Hey folks,

I'm starting to plan a trip to Africa this fall (around thanksgiving time). One of the things on my bucket list is to go on a Safari - so Kenya is absolutely on my list.

My plan is to spend around 5-6 days in Kenya on Safari, and then travel to Ethiopia and spend another 4-5 days there exploring the culture. I figured they would serve as two very complimentary experiences.

Is that duration too short to visit both countries? Should I stick to just one? Ofc, I can't experience everything the country has to offer within that time, but I want to have an experience that highlights the best that both countries have to offer, while also not feeling rushed.

Let me know what you think. Thanks for taking the time to read my post!

Hello fellow brothers and sisters in misery.

I've had Tinnitus for a while. I don't know when it first started, but I started observing it about a decade ago. It wasn't too bad, and over time I had gotten used to it.

But sometime about 6 weeks back, I had a minor incident which caused it to flare up. When I woke up from bed, I didn't realize my cell phone was on my blanked. When I flung over the blanked to get out of bed, the cell phone got launched and struck a huge ceramic plant pot. It made a very high pitched noise, but wasn't necessarily loud. I was in a half awake state when it happened, and it instantly flared up my Tinnitus. Normally, a spike like that would just a minute or so. But I'm afraid it has lasted several weeks. It had slowly started to subside.

But last week, when I was cleaning my ears with Q-tips (just the outer ear, never put them inside the canal), I must have pushed some ear wax inside - but the tinnitus flared up again and hasn't stopped since. Part of me is hopeful because I suspect it's due to ear wax blocking the canal. I also have a physical sensation that my left ear (the one with the tinnitus), is blocked when compared to the right. The hearing in my left year is noticeably lower than my right. But another part of me is also paranoid and really worried that the spike might be permanent. The tinnitus has gone from something that I had adjusted to and barely notice, to something that I can't take my mind off.

I've scheduled a visit to the ENT clinic next week to have my ears cleaned, and also to book a consultation later. And I'm really hoping it's just a blockage. But I'm still very concerned that it could be permanent.

Btw, I've heard horror stories about microsuction and irrigation making it worse. I'm going to ask for a manual cleaning.

Just thought I would share it here, because nobody else would understand the anxiety. Thanks for taking the time to read my post!

Hi there,

Like many here, I've amassed so many games from Humble Bundles and Monthlies, and I've come to realize that there is absolutely no chance I will have the time to play them all.

I've created a spreadsheet of spare keys that I have. Please DM me and let me know if any of them interests you.

I am open to offers or wishlist.

To be honest, I really want these games to go away to people who might actually play them. So feel free to ask, no matter how low the offer is.

Hey folks,

I fell in love with Ballroom after joining the Ballroom dance club during my last year at University. Although I did compete in a couple competitions, I was still very much picking up the ropes. Unfortunately, it being the last year meant I really didn't have as much time as I wish I did.

I relocated to the bay area for work, and am looking to get back into Ballroom dancing. I thought I would post and see if there is any potential followers here who are also looking for a partner. Or if you're somebody who has never done Ballroom dancing before, but are interested.

I am most interested in International Standard, and American Smooth styles.

As you can probably tell from the fact that I've only recently started dancing, I'm still a rookie competing at the bronze level. But I am willing to put in the time and effort to improve. Although I am not super competitive, I am very motivated to self-improve. I would like to practice at least twice a week, if not more. And I do have some ideas about how/where we would practice and get lessons from.

If you're interested, please feel free to drop me a DM and we can chat more.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post, and hope you all have a splendid week!
