I’m sorry but I CANT get behind the Crescent City hype:( I really enjoyed CC1 but CC2 was so dang long and boring for me. I’ve put off reading CC3 for 3 weeks now and just tried to read it and i literally can’t do it. This is absolutely heartbreaking because the series looks so good on my shelf and I really wanted to love it. I enjoyed TOG and was absolutely obsessed with ACOTAR so this is a real disappointment.
So 2-3 weeks ago I got in office Botox done so I could hopefully teach myself to burp. The first week I experienced slow swallow and more micro burps. At day 7 I experienced my first real burp and I had one real burp a day for 4 days straight. The slow swallow went away and so did my real burps. I’ve been doing the shaker exercises the ENT told me to do but I’m only able to get micro burps if I turn my head down and to the right. I’m feeling so disappointed after putting in this money/ effort and it not working. The ENT did say that it’s not a magical fix but I need to teach myself but I’ve tried so many things and I can’t figure out how to make a burp come out:(
Where to put thermostat for probe so crested gecko doesn’t climb it!?
My crested gecko is in a cold basement and her enclosure is 18x18x36. She currently has a 75W CHE with a dimming thermostat set to 76F 24/7. I’ve noticed she doesn’t go to the lower area of her tank and I think it’s because it’s too cold (66F at bottom). I read DHP pushes heat down more so it’ll be warmer lower for her. I can’t decide if I should get a 80W DHP or a 100W DHP and I’m very scared of something going wrong and it killing her. I plan to get a new thermostat that has a timer so in the day it’ll be set to 76F and at night 72F, the one I heard is safe is - Exo Terra Thermostat 600W Thermostat with Day/Night Timer. Advice appreciated.

First pic is me. Second pic was my inspo shape. The girl did an awful job so I had it touched up with thicker lines to fix the shape and got lines added inside. However the shape still sucks.
First pic is mine and second pic was inspo butterfly shape. Had to get it redone with lines inside because she did it so bad. But I still hate it. Should I laser it? This tattoo is on the inside of my ankle.
24F and I have very bad indigestion from not being able to burp which is worse depending on if I’m busy that day and what I eat. I get Botox for this in 2 days!! For anyone who has had it what should I expect? I’m doing in office treatment and she said I’d have to “teach myself” to burp after.

My 2 year old crestie is in a 18x18x36 bioactive tank. It has a foam background I made and real plants. I just noticed when I put crickets in there was 1 black ant on a vine and I killed it. I don’t see more but I’m SO SCARED. What do I do!?
I’m 24F and I have bad health anxiety. The past couple weeks off and on I’ve been having fuzzy finger tips randomly. It feels like a buzzing sensation in them. They aren’t numb and move fine. However I’m scared this is something bad and my hands r going to shut down or become weak/numb etc. My doctor tested my strength/ reflexes which were fine and he had no idea what I was experiencing.
So I’m 24F. Years ago i weighed like 165lbs and my boobs were like a C cup at Victoria secret. I lost weight down to 130lbs and I never wore bras my boobs were like a B cup in my opinion. I’m now 205lbs thanks to being in a relationship for almost 4 years:( I’ve gained weight all over but my boobs are so big and saggy. My nipples seem way bigger and I have almost stretch marks. My boob size is probably over a D for sure. I hate how my boobs look and I have health anxiety so I can’t tell if they look so weird from the weight of if something is wrong with them…. My nipples almost look stretched and trying to lift my boobs in a top is impossible:( i used to love them but now i genuinely want to cut them off.
23F and saw an EMT for RCPD to hopefully get the Botox. She first wanted me to get the barium swallow test done before doing it and down below are my results. Overall they sound normal however I had a tiny bit get stuck in my esophagus and then continue to go down. Is this normal or concerning?
BARIUM SWALLOW
CLINICAL HISTORY (from requisition): Rule out achalasia/dysmotility
STUDY: Barium swallow
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence for significant dilatation of the esophagus to suggest achalasia. There are no significant tertiary waves evident. There is some holdup of the barium contrast column in the mid to distal esophagus and eventually clear into the stomach. There are no gross esophageal mucosal irregularities.
IMPRESSION:
No evidence for achalasia. Some holdup of barium contrast column in the mid to distal esophagus although this does eventually clear into the stomach.
