I'm renting so it will be taken care of. Just god I need some encouragement. I lost so much food. Why is everything in the fridge wet? Where did this light brown water pool come from? It's hard to get the motivation to clean it up when everything is so juicy.

I won't starve. I just don't have anything to pair with my shelf stable food now. No sauces, no cheeses, no meats, no vegetables. It's been a rough week from an extremely bad fainting spell on Tues to cleaning out the fridge, and it's all wet inside, yeah it's been a rough week. I'm not looking forward to slowly replacing my sauces as I realize which ones I'll need all over again. Going to be instant ramen and canned soups like I'm in my 20s again until the fridge is fixed or replaced.

I am in my thirties, just never had this happen to me before. Paired up with a shoulder injury I got from riding my bike I've been working on mending, yeah gonna be very hard to replace everything, and getting ice for my various coolers (I'm a camping freak) isn't going to happen either because of that shoulder injury. Cant carry it the two miles back home on my back without making the injury worse again.

Just an absolute nightmare situation. My friends know my luck is atrocious and it's continuously proven right with these extreme coincidences of bad things that pile into terrible things.

I have the swallowing syncope, but it's only happened once before yesterday. It was at work last time, sip of cold beverage, passed out on the keyboard, wrote a nonsense email to my boss with my face, the usual.

Yesterday was particularly bad. Woke up, start cooking breakfast, big ol sip of cold drink at my desk while I awaited my food, the sensation began with pain, a huge lump traveling down my body, lightheadedness, I knew it was coming and I laid my head down on the desk. A couple minutes later I get up, barely able to see, unable to hear, and fall down in my beanbag chair to fall as close to horizontal as I can.

I had every terrible symptom you can imagine. The confusion, intense nausea, dizziness, static in my ears as loud as a raging river, darkened vision, felt every pore oozing sweat, like for any weed smokers if you have too much edibles and need to sleep it off, times a thousand. I was confused as to why I felt like I ate every single edible I own and thought i actually did.

So I've been having bouts of nausea since then. I was sick for hours, needed to chew gum to keep myself from hurling on the bus. I did manage to lay in bed and eat my cold breakfast an hour after I first passed out, and stayed in bed for a few hours. But it continued today. I'm extremely sensitive to nausea overall so this has made a mess of my entire schedule. I gotta clean out my freezer cause it stopped working yesterday on top of everything but I can't stand for very long or I'll get sick.

What do I do when the nausea just won't go the hell away?

A very long time ago when the wii fit was new I had a draw to the boxing minigame. It was my favorite, and whenever I could I would play it. A few years back I downloaded the demo for the first of this series, for some reason I never touched it until this week. To my sorrow the first title is no longer around for purchase, my poor aqua loving heart. Perhaps a used copy someday. I had a tendency to overlook my switch, it was a covid purchase and I found very few titles I enjoyed so the boxing game was shoved into the back of my mind.

Well I am pleased to announce that the third installment is now in my possession. I'm eager to put my best foot forward, all my effort, and passion for rhythm games and punching to the beat will culminate right here. (I swear I only pay attention to a nintendo console once they finally give me a rhythm heaven game on it, thank you Groove!)

I begin at 250 lbs. With determination and refusing to settle for less I will make my goal of losing 130 lbs. I am pairing this with a daily mile walk and a calorie tracker. I will become half the person I am and I will not let the tragedies that lead me down this terrible road become my undoing.

Can I ride with an injured shoulder? My micro vehicle fleet is my only means of transportation. I've been in pain for a few weeks now and have figured out that I really shouldn't ride my e bike with my shoulder injury. However I still got shit to do. My G3 Max is pillowy compared to my shortcut 7, but the handlebars are quite tall and put my elbow in a terrible position. Not to mention the backpack weight that will no doubt cause problems carrying back my groceries if I need to buy a couple weeks worth of food in one go. The handlebar height does cause my elbows to be sore for extended rides.

Would I prolong my injury by riding my escooter for errands or should I take it easy for a month and just ride the bus?

My partner's mum was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I've been working from home in customer care for 5 years now, answering phones and typing out faxes and such. My ISP has had a very bad year and I've lost connection for 3 weeks total this year so I have no PTO to spare. I'd like to bring my work with me to the other side of the world so I can help my partner care for his mum at the end of her life. If I'm able to bring my work with me I won't need to worry about PTO and I can stay for the maximum amount of time a visa will allow. My work hours line up with a 2nd shift in the country I plan to go to so I won't have issues with timelines and being present for my partner and his family. We don't know how long she has left, but it can progress swiftly without warning.

She's been bouncing in and out of hospitalization because she can't hold any food down. I don't know what stage she's at but she's been moved into end of life care. I'm trying to make plans around this so I can support him through this. How much time realistically does she have? It's been about two weeks since she first went to the hospital. I'm trying to figure out the best thing I can do to be there as quickly as possible. He's with her in another country and I'm pushing to get my passport settled so I can get over there too and be with them, I just hope I can get there fast enough so he doesn't have to be alone through this.

They've been waiting for me to get diabetes, which does run in my family, but I do not have it nor any symptoms. I went to see a new eye doctor who told me I have this thing called pseudotumor cerebi. He was succinct and it explained some newer developing symptoms I've been experiencing this year. Currently having back pain so harsh that I can't sneeze, yawn, or sigh. He's also said he'll tag team with my doctor to fight insurance with him to get me ANY weight loss medicine. Obesity runs in the family as well and everyone has had surgery to correct it. Not a single person in my family has gone without gastric bypass and it's my turn, but I have the option for wegovy or zepbound or something in this era. Insurance refuses to help me cover that or they'll cover a paltry $100 leaving me with $400 to pay myself. I'll do anything to make me better, I got rid of my car and bike everywhere, I eat mostly vegetables and lean meats and rice. But I can't lose weight. My genetics have me trapped and now I've developed this pseudotumor thing. My eyes are already at -10 for my glasses. I can barely see as it is. I don't want to lose my vision fully. I'm an artist, musician, my job and career prospects have me reading and writing constantly. I don't think it will be possible to get my law degree if I can't read new labor laws that I'll need to know for the hospital I work for currently.

I'm devastated and want to turn this around so bad, but I need so much more money to have a prayer with what I'm currently being offered prior to this pre diagnosis. I'm seeing my doctor on Wednesday to discuss this and get an MRI scheduled. If insurance would have sucked it up and got me started last year rather than tell me no every month they wouldn't have to pay for an mri and whatever medicine I'll be taking to slow down the fluid build up. I already have severe guilt the second I get hungry. I didn't need all of this on top of everything. I'm scared insurance will cost me my eyesight.

I'm taking it orally and while my hair is wet after 18 months it's still not showing any improvement. The only thing that's worked at making my hair appear fuller is thickening shampoo. When I go camping or get too sick to wash my hair everyday it's pretty damn clear how bad it's gotten. Finnesteride made me incredibly depressed.

It's causing me to use my t gel far less often. I'll skip a few days at a time and it's reached a point where my hair is softening up. I really don't want to stop, mostly because I don't want my cycle to return that was genuine hell on earth for me. But I don't want my hair loss to continue progressing. I'm fully non binary, you see, just masculine presenting in ways I'm happy to control like body hair.

It's not a spot on the back of my head, but the full deep U forming. It's giving me some pretty bad mental health reactions. Is it possible to do finnesteride again but with a high dose of antidepressants? I'm not currently on anything, I should be, but Wellbutrin didn't work for me at all. Zoloft did work once upon a time and I don't know if it still does it's been many years. Would increasing my current minoxidil dose make a difference?

I'm glad I saw this before riding in traffic with it but I bought a fun novelty rainbow tail light, it is not in replacement of my current tail light. The strap holds on tight, but the light slides right out of the strap from any serious bump like going down a curb, I can only imagine how quick it will fly off with how terrible the roads are around me.

It is a novelty, fun rainbows to make me happy, so if you have any clever tricks to secure the slip (there's no thumb release trigger it's a very basic slip) besides super glue (tempting) I'd love to hear. I can't be the only one who loves toy lights.

A friend of mine contracted someone to build up a tiny living vehicle. We checked out the website, no signs of AI use so all work was legitimate. The vehicle was delivered at the beginning of the year. The timeline given was for the vehicle to be ready to show progress in May. He kept brushing off any messages and calls to get any progress updates, the deadline has long since passed.

At this point my friend finally managed to force him to show her in person what progress had been made. She was shown barely a frame in place, something that wouldn't take longer than two days. She was met with constant excuses while standing there, staring at the vehicle that has been in his care for 7 months with at most 2 weeks worth of work if he was slow and spent time drawing up blueprints. I do not have information of any existence of blueprints or any prior work. She was understandably upset. At this point the finishing should have been going on and the vehicle taken to it's next step; mechanical repairs, in a few short weeks.

The amount paid is shy of $50,000. I know a frame alone would not cost that much. She's worried that he's going to fight her on getting a refund. He had been avoiding showing her any progress, claiming he wanted to "surprise" her, which I was wary of and it caused me to do a deep dive on this guy to see what kind of work he's actually accomplished in the past. It has been near silence from him for this entire year.

"Went to finally see [it] in person, he finally stopped avoiding me long enough to see it, and he barely even finished the framing"..."He said he had other projects and all the family issues he was having at home. Now he's claiming that he can 'Make it right in the next two weeks' and 'send me daily pictures' but couldn't do anything more than give excuses when I asked them why he couldn't do that for the last 7 months."

Naturally he is incredibly untrustworthy at this point. I will be discouraging her from continuing work with him, as the least he could have done was communicate any level of progress to her. The offer to speed through the work in 2 weeks is reckless, especially since this will be her home. I haven't seen the pictures, but I imagine the frame to be barely an outline of the walls and bed frame, most likely no storage or countertop frames in place, something that takes a weekend from any fool with a toolbox.

What are the realistic expectations from this situation? I'm looking into legal recourse to help guide her in the right direction, though it absolutely flies twice as high as the small claims limit so that isn't going to work out. She would have to properly sue him if he refuses to return her money for a breach of contract. I hope he makes this easy on her and just refunds her, genuinely, so she can just move on and find someone more qualified to build her home. But I would love some advice on building her legal case up, I do know the basics already, I spend a lot of time watching various practicing lawyers go through civil cases. I just don't know anything about breach of contract cases. What grounds does she have to stand on?

I do not know if he is a licensed contractor. I do not know if there is a formal carbon page contract that was signed (though it normally does not matter as long as there is documentation of the agreement, which she does have). I do not know if he's insured.
