Kinda an IYKYK thing but multiple of my friends/acquaintances have had creepy experiences with this dude. Most likely middle eastern, black short hair with beard. Usually wearing a hoodie. Kinda just lingers around campus in areas around people, and many have seen him talking to himself it seems like? Let me know if yall know this guy cus literally everyone I’ve talked to seems to have some sort of weird experience involving him.

Hi everyone. Wanna preface by saying I have been diagnosed with GERD (was having chest pain a few years ago) but I feel unsure about it.

For example, my main symptoms are chest pain, BUT it's mainly about an inch to the left of my sternum and it's a pinchy pain, I will also have some light burning pain towards the top of my breast. Another symptom is feeling tightness/globus sensation in my throat, as well as light burning/uncomfortable feeling in my throat when I get really hungry specifically, as well as when I wear pants with a waistband/something pressing against my lower stomach. I can't lay flat to sleep or this feeling in my throat can happen or sometimes I'll get a little nauseous feeling if I am flat.

The chest pain symptom really comes and goes though. Since being home from college I've experienced it maybe once or twice in the past few months. It seems to be when I'm stressed/tense or if I've had caffeine.

I don't remember feeling like this growing up (I'm 20), the chest pain and noticeable symptoms started a month after a bad vomiting episode so I'm kinda suspecting a hernia? How common is it to get a hernia from vomiting around 10 times? And how would that even be kicking up the acid to my throat, does it also affect the sphincter? I've also suspected I could be dealing with not enough acid, but because the burning in my throat does happen I'm starting to think it's not that.

If anyone has any tips or things that have worked for them to manage these kinds of symptoms please share!! I was prescribed PPI a few years back but never tried them because I was a little nervous to. But now I really just don't want my esophagus to get damaged over time!

Last time I took a blood test I was 17, and it was the same level. Total cholesterol is 213. Everything else is in healthy range. Is this possibly genetic? I eat fairly healthy (try to get as much veggie and lean protein as possibly) with ice cream a few times a week.

When I took the test at 17, I was barely eating and still had the same levels, so it makes me worry I can’t do anything to change them. Thanks in advance!!

I couldn't find this aesthetic on the wiki, but it revolves around 2000s childhood/teenager themes combined with bright colors and patterns like gingham, polka dots, etc. It also looks a lot like the whimsy trend thats going around, except with a more 2000s childhood spin on it. I've added some pics that I feel like kinda encapsulate this aesthetic I see being formed on platforms like pinterest! I believe emmalizzz on tiktok is the one who named it.

Not sure if this is a thing but I noticed that I usually have a few popular listings at a time, and then when they sell my other listings that were previously getting no attention start to get more engagement. Is this just a coincidence or does this happen to others as well?

Help! I recently got a capri melon bag online and didnt realize it had a big brown stain on the bottom as it wasnt very apparent in the pictures :( Does anyone have good methods for getting out a stain thats been there who knows how long? Theres also one on the strap thats a bit darker. Will put pics if that would help. Thanks in advance!!
