I have no idea what's going on. I exercise fairly regularly and I eat really healthy, mostly whole foods. Lately I have lower abdominal bloating (not terribly noticeable to others but noticeable to myself, I say this so people don't think I'm experiencing the type of bloating I've read on here where it looks like they're pregnant. No where that severe) but with the feeling of constantly being full and needing to poop but it won't come out! Usually I would have my morning coffee and a solid nice poo would come out. Now it's a toss up and if I do get anything its soft and mushy and never feels like I'm fully empty. I think I do have pelvic floor issues as my anus will sometimes clench and I have to actively focus on relaxing to pass the stool I do. But this has been going on off and on for months but this entire week has been a constipated week and I can't figure out what's going on and I'm so uncomfortable and getting a little scared. I don't have blood in my stool or fatigue. The only change I can think of is that I now work an office job where I used to work jobs that required I was on my feet a lot more.

I post just because I hope someone has some insight but mostly because I'm so frustrated..it's like my body just turned on me one day.

I know its late in the season so algae bloom is on the rise. I keep checking google/the state site/and chatgpt and get different answers across all 3!! Any confirmed safe places to take my dog swimming today 😭

I genuinely don't understand how people can work Monday through Friday and find the time to go out and enjoy the weekend. I used to have a coworker who went out and did something EVERY WEEKEND. I think that's great but I can't comprehend it.

I have no kids or partner, and I have a dog. That's it. But my weekends are spent grocery shopping, cooking, meal prepping, cleaning, doing laundry, walking my dog, visiting my parents, going to church, working out, and then maybe squeezing in 2 or 3 hours of chill time to catch up on a show or book. It's not an option for me to stop doing any of these things. And when I have a Saturday where I'm out with friends then Sunday is just a mad dash with things not being taken care of. I preface this with the first sentence to further indicate how I don't understand how anyone WITH a partner or kids can do it at all. What am I missing?? This can't just be the forever thing can it? Or am I wound too tight? I just want to know how people fit it all in and I feel rude asking coworkers.

Looking for something with apothecary diaries vibes. Has more going on than just romance but has palpable chemistry and tension. I love the idea of a ninja/samurai romantic lead.

I would hate to not pass on this information. My dog struggles with allergies horribly. I give him allergy pills but sometimes it's just not enough.

Yesterday I noticed his eyes were all red, the whites and the skin around his eyes. It looked awful! And he had an allergic hot spot on his leg. I was distraught and didn't know how to help. I remembered that he had a cut a few years ago and we used this. I put some of this spray around his eyes and on his hot spot and this morning he looks so much better! I am so relieved.

I don't want to gatekeep such an amazing product if anyone else is dealing with similar issues. Its safe around mouth, eyes, and ears. Its an antimicrobial spray.

Hope this can help someones pets 💛
