So I’ve been living in this house for a year. When I moved in I of course checked to make sure everything was working. I checked the faucet and checked the garbage disposal by using the switch on the wall. There was an unlabeled button next to the faucet that didn’t do anything when I pressed it so I assumed it must be related to a water filtration system. Since the water faucet and garbage disposal worked just fine I didn’t think to investigate this button further. A few months ago my garbage disposal stops working. No humming noise or anything. I researched how to troubleshoot it. I used an Allen wrench and pressed the reset button and in a few minutes my disposal was working just fine. Fast forward to 3 weeks ago it happened again. I then proceeded to do the same thing to troubleshooting it, but it was not successful. I did some more research that led me to check if the electrical outlet was working. I plugged in my phone to the charger then turned the switch on. No luck. I then reset the GFCI outlets as well as reset the breaker. Still no luck. This is where I determined this must be an electrical issue and I now must request maintenance. In my maintenance request I did explain everything I did to troubleshoot it. When the plumber called I of course explained it over the phone as well. He then proceeded to schedule an appointment with me and when he came in he immediately fixed it by turning the switch on and then pressing that button. Then it was working just fine. Next thing I know I’m being charged $85 from my property manager because the vendor said this was easily resolved by the tenant and that I was negligent. I showed this to my dad and other men in my family. No one knew what this button was for.
When I turn the garbage disposal on or off the last thing I would have thought is that there is a 2nd step or an additional on and off switch for it. Well now I know and it is what it is.

So I just picked up my son (14) from his dad’s. He’s been there for a week. On the drive home he tells me he had a doctor’s appointment that involved blood work and checking his heart. Apparently, my so has been getting dizzy after standing up. I was never told about this. This was several weeks ago. His dad scheduled an appointment with a doctor (not my son’s pediatrician) and didn’t tell me. He never brought up any concerns to me. He gets an annual exam every year by his pediatrician. I’m the full custodian legally and physically. I am supposed to be told these things. My son told me the results were good which is great to hear but nothing was shared with me. Mind you, even though I don’t have too and usually dad doesn’t show interest in knowing, I’ve always communicated about appointments with why, when, and where as a courtesy. I have not reached out to OP because I am not sure the best way to approach this. I should have 100% been made aware of this. Also back story, he refuses to take my son to his pediatrician even though they have an office not far from his house. He’s never been there. He recommended this clinic. I don’t want to make this any longer than it has to be but I checked it out by bringing my son there once and the doctor there was horrible. Dad tried to switch this doctor to be his primary care physician. (He’s that kind of parent who switches things for either convenience for himself or no reason at all. He even unenrolled my son from his school once and attempted to enroll him in a school near where he moved to.) My point in sharing that is because I wonder if part of the reason he didn’t tell me is because he took him to that clinic.

So I’ve went 30 days and these reactions only got worse and worse. It is highly likely I have histamine intolerance and I will soon find out at my next doctors appointment. It got really bad though so I fell off the diet. Not sure what to do but the itching went down after I stopped eating red meat. So I’m posting here asking for people who has gone through this, how you over came it? Were you able to continue carnivore or did you have to eat differently and then go back to carnivore? I don’t want to give up even if I have to focus on a low histamine diet first and then ease my way to carnivore.

Hi everyone, I’m helping out a family member clean out there garage and they have a lot of shampoos, conditioners, other hair products, lotions, body washes, etc. Most are expired. I don’t want to throw them out unless that is my only option. Any ideas how I can get rid of them safely?

I hate it. I don’t like eating meat and eggs like this. Im so hungry and when i try to eat I either 1) get full without eating very much putting me below 1000 calories a day, or 2) take a bit out of the food and get nauseous. I only eat one meal a day because i cant eat before or during work (gastrointestinal issues) and after i eat I’m full for the rest of the night. I’m pretty sure I’m about to give up. If I do I don’t think I can eat a single meat product for a week because I am so grossed out by all this food. I hate ribeyes. I barely tolerate any of the fattier cuts of steaks. Grossed out by ground beef can’t stand it. Eggs I cook in different ways to change things up and I couldn’t eat half of one today. Bacon, I never imagined I would now hate bacon. How do you all deal with this? 3 days with less than 1000 calories each day and I know this is not good.

I’ve heard diet can affect body chemistry and I’m curious about real experiences. Did things improve, get worse, or stay the same? Also wondering if dairy, hydration, or electrolytes made a difference. I have been avoiding sex because I’m embarrassed and he’s very sensitive to smells.
