I’ve been getting into wine lately. Would like to be able to go to a store and talk to some knowledgeable staff and get some interesting or unique bottles.
I’m also looking for bars with a decent wine list. Patio preferred.
I’ve been to the Big Red wine store at College and Kessler and am looking for more of this kind of thing. Any recommendations are welcome.
Thanks!
I have jury duty this week for the first time. If my group is selected, I have to attend in person at the community justice building. What should I expect? I have absolutely no idea what will happen except that some lawyers may ask me some questions. Are these one on one interviews or are they asking the entire group questions and we raise our hand to answer? Any info at all about what to expect would be much appreciated, including timeline, setting, interview format, lunch, etc
Hey everyone—
30M here finally going to talk to a psychiatric NP about some issues I’ve had my whole life including extremely short attention span, inability to finish tasks at work without setting 20+ timers per day, inability to do most things without time pressure motivating me (feeling stuck), intense short lived obsession with hobbies and interests with related impulse spending and regret, occasional binge eating, trouble falling asleep, overlapping noisy thoughts a lot of the time, low self esteem, being told I was a smart gifted child yet failing multiple classes for inability to do homework, etc. I also had a premature birth and have cerebral palsy which interestingly I read can increase likelihood of ADHD.
I was diagnosed with depression years ago for my lack of motivation issues but it never really felt right because I didn’t necessarily feel sad or despair, I just felt like I had trouble starting anything unless it was an interest or a hobby of mine. Cleaning my house, doing school work, doing work for my job, etc all seems to only be motivated by deadlines and time pressure. After reading online it has me thinking there is a possibility that I may have ADHD.
Fast forward to today: I’ve got the appt coming up and I am so worried about the NP being dismissive and/or annoyed by me because I’m just another one of those many many patients that come in thinking they have it. I’m nervous about being perceived as just another TikTok generation ADHD-diagnosis-seeking person. This fear is so real that I have considered whether or not it’s even worth going through with the appt. The folks over on r/psychiatry seem to be very annoyed at patients like me.
For what it’s worth, I have not seen much ADHD content on TikTok and it has not influenced me at all. Thanks everyone
TL;DR - new patient thinks he has ADHD. Worried about doctor being dismissive or annoyed.
I live super close to Yats but don’t get it that often. When I do it always hits the spot. Drunken chicken extra bread cheese on the side with a bunch of garlic sauce. Can’t beat it
Singular dead yellow jacket inside home
Indianapolis. Found this guy inside my house about six inches from my cat’s litter box and 5 feet from a window. I have a phobia of wasps and am freaking out worried that there is a nest in the wall somewhere. Is this cause for concern or could it be a one off thing and nothing to worry about?
Also—I think it’s dead, but I’m not positive. Do they rest completely still for several minutes with people walking around them?
No judgment please, I’m an anxious soul. And please don’t judge the litter on my floor. I’ve been recovering from an injury and have not kept up with it like usual. Thanks so much

I’ve had this Casio F-91W for a while but have recently added it back into my rotation after a couple of years of it sitting in my drawer. I’ve found this works best for me on busy days when I’m out and about running errands, using public transit or traveling, spending lots of time outside on hot days or when I simply don’t want to think about what to wear - it’s always there for me. Reading the time is so easy. It’s just a joy to look down at. I’d recommend everyone get one. Some interesting history behind this model too as it’s been worn by pretty much everyone, from celebrities to terrorist leaders to artists and construction workers. It’s really as classic as they come.
All, apologies for the low quality photo. I took a picture of the doctor’s laptop screen.
Fell off my bike and fractured my clavicle and second rib. This x ray was taken at a follow up appointment 5 days post injury. I’m on day 8 post injury and can move my arm pretty freely and have more of a dull constant soreness rather than excruciating pain like last week. The doctor recommends i wait for it to heal on its own and he’s even saying i don’t have to wear the sling all that much if i don’t want to. Do you agree or disagree with his plan based on this image? Thanks
I’m an avid cyclist and would like to get back to riding asap. Injury was April 26.
sincerely,
An anxious patient
Hey guys. Was riding my commuter bike, front rack came loose, landed on the front wheel and I went over the bars. Broke my clavicle and second rib. No surgery needed. Clavicle fracture was out near the shoulder.
Anyone have experience with these injuries? This is the first time I’ve broken a bone. No surgery needed. I have a sling but have surprisingly good mobility for day 3 post injury. Still in a lot of pain. Doctor said I can bear weight and range shoulder based on pain tolerance. Just kind of wondering if any of you can share any stories. I commute by bike and do a lot of chill endurance road cycling on the weekend. Feeling pretty down and a little anxious. 30M non smoker
thanks!
30M, non smoker, mild spastic CP in legs, taking famotidine once a day for acid reflux and very occasional alprazolam for anxiety. 69 inches tall 179lbs.
Was in a bicycle accident 48 hours ago, went to the emergency room and did CT scan with contrast and x-rays. They admitted me overnight for observation and I spent 21 hours in the hospital. I have a fractured clavicle and fractured second rib on non dominant (right) side. They said the fracture on the clavicle was out near the shoulder joint. They told me it was non-operative based on the imaging. I have a follow up in two days to get more x-rays with the ortho team. Currently in a sling I can move my right (injured) arm a bit as needed, but it hurts. The surgeon I talked to said the recovery will be pretty much just based on pain tolerance. Same with sling wearing etc. My understanding was if I can move it and it doesn’t hurt too bad, it’s OK to move it, rather than strict immobilization. He told me I may even be able to be out of the sling part or most of the time in a 2-3 days. He recommends I will be able to start cycling again in as soon as four weeks. Since the second rib is near the clavicle, I can’t necessarily tell which fracture is causing the pain, but the pain is low at times when at rest and medium to pretty high when moving around. very episodic. A little pain when deep breathing, maybe a 1-2/10.
Was prescribed 5mg oxycodone every four hours as needed and given a script with 18 pills. Also prescribed 1000mg Tylenol 3 times a day for 5 days. Given MiraLAX and had a BM today. I have a spirometer and that I have been using a couple times an hour when awake and have no problem reaching the number they asked me to reach.
I have a lot of health anxiety, and I am worried about what this whole process will look like. My anxiety is really high with a few questions:
Was the surgeon being optimistic and unrealistic when he suggested 4 weeks until cycling again? Same with out of sling in a few days? What are the odds I need surgery after this follow up in a few days? Everything I am reading online is suggesting a much longer timeline for my injuries than I was given. I am struggling to accept that I have a “lucky” or short injury recovery timeline compared to most anecdotes online.
How real is the risk for a lung issue occurring in the future the near future? When they tested my lung capacity in the hospital I was able to get to 4400. Not sure what unit, sorry.
How fragile is the fractured rib and clavicle? I’m worried if I lay on it wrong or overuse it reaching for something or putting my shirt on I will set myself back.
Anxious patient here seeking a nonjudgmental doc to help calm some nerves but also be realistic. Thanks all
