2024.05.20 03:26 S3lad0n Video upload of the rest of this DVD
 | Hope it's ok to ask and post this here, as it is J-pop-related but not like...fully? Tysm in advance for any link or leads, I really appreciate it and you! 🙏🫶 submitted by S3lad0n to jpop [link] [comments] So what I'm looking for is an online upload/download of the 氷帝学園編 Supporter's DVD Volume 3 (2006), documenting round-table reminiscence of the early seasons of the popular (and populist) Tenimyu musical franchise, which is now a media juggernaut, and even back in its nascent years featured many young burgeoning male J-actors, dancers & pop/rockstars of the 2000s era. You've probably watched a few J-actors or head a few singers who've been in Tenimyu at some point. This DVD had about 80 minutes of interview footage from vocalists & songwriters Kazuki Kato, Kenta Kamakari & Date Koji that I'd love to see again. The only clip still online that I can find is this short 2 minute meme one featuring Kazukiplus the actors Saito Takumi, Ruito Aoyagi and TAKUYA. Apparently a few old hardcopies of the DVD are available on amaz0n.jp, however the listing I'm seeing seems really expensive (inc. import taxes to where I'm from, VAT etc.) and idk if it's even legit (looks bootleggy to me). Also, where and how I'm living right now, I don't have access to a TV nor a DVD drive (let alone a hacked region-free one), so a disc would be useless to me until I could make enough to get the hardware to play it. ig I could watch it at the library or sth, though that will mean I couldn't watch it at leisure/in peace or make screencaps & GIFs like I want. Here's how the packaging allegedly looks: https://preview.redd.it/mxjjuwxzfh1d1.jpg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e69d95b4d7927b96eedf4b6b28bfc4d4b8abb179 |
2024.05.20 03:26 PrettyHome5860 Why can't I be consistent?
I'm 18 years old and I'm so dumb. I cannot even put the words together to explain myself. I don't wanna get help from those successful people who think they are doing pretty bad in their lives, when in reality, they are just tired from working and using their smarty brain at it's full potential. Only thing I know there is something wrong with me and I wanna fix it so I don't waste my life. I went to psychiatrist couple of times, used different medicines but I'm same old me. I feel like those people don't even listen to me but care about only the money. I even went there with a good amount of hope when I had my doubts to go. So. I cannot do anything in life and I cannot help it. I'm suck as a student, a worker, a group leader, a group participant, a daughter...I look some of my old friends who didn't go to collage after graduating high school and I'm jealous of them, how they know what they want and don't want and having a place in society just like that. My family looked at my horrible grades and said to me 'you don't have to do this'. I rejected I said I'll do better next time and that situation went on so much that I lost faith in my academic goals. When I took my uni entrance exam the results were just poor because I didn't study. My family suggested to me that I would go to any collage with those bad results but I had high goals with that poor discipline, so I took a gap year to study again like I would change(I didn't) The math was so hard, paragraphs were too long and I was always so sick to study. Just sitting in that table and doing something was very very very hard for my will. I would just listen to music all day and daydream about studying like that gilmore girl. and when I actually did study it would be just for 2 hours a day(if the topic is so easy) and you guys might say 'yes that's great do it everyday' well that's the problem if I study 2 hours I take 1 week off and not intentionally. I don't know what's happening to me right after that studying I cannot ever be consisted about something. I've been keeping a journal I looked at the dates and they had 1 month gap between them where I always said at the end 'I'll def come back tomorrow, this writing changed me completely' because I was talking to that journal and then I was giving myself advice via writing that journal which never worked out. So I'm inconsistent, lazy, forgetful, addicted, dumb, doing a mistake at least a hundred times and never learning anything from it. I took adhd pills, depression pills and now anxiety because I have trouble going to sleep for a while now. And because all of this and others I attempted su**ide several times in 2021. That last one made my family concerned and they don't let me alone to do it now. I didn't stop thinking about it laters but I said what's the meaning of this. Live to see whatever shi*ty life youre going to have. But now I'm crying writing this. I don't have an abusive household, my country is not in a war, I'm getting my basic needs which is enough yet this mind of mine is going to k*ll me. It's not about just academics, wish I had just one talent or skill that could keep me alive and give me confidence. Because it doesn't look like I'm going to be better at something with hard work. And it would be great if I wasn't this nervous and embarrassed. I just wanted to know if there's someone like me and what do they do about it.

2024.05.20 03:25 AlliterativeAllure 25 [F4M] #Midwest/#Online - Lonely, Lovely, Literal, Loquacious, Literarily Inclined Lady Looking For Love
Lonely seems fairly self-explanatory. I want my penguin, my swan, my lobster.
Lovely refers primarily to my physical characteristics, but also a bit to my kind and caring nature.
Literal is the way I both communicate and interpret communication. Subtext is often lost on me.
Loquacious means that it’s very hard to shut me up once I get going on the right subject with the right audience.
Literarily Inclined is a very fancy way of saying I read. A lot. No, I mean, a lot.
Lady just refers to my gender (AFAB/cisgender).
Looking For is simply, you know, seeking. Searching for. Trying to find.
Love, the epitome of what I want.
Now, beyond the allure of my alliteration...
I’m 25 years old and I live in the Midwestern area of the USA. I don’t particularly care where you live, as I’m only open to an online relationship until 2025 or so (because of both personal preference and life circumstances).
The written word is my biggest hobby, both reading and writing it. Despite my often overly logical brain, I usually prefer fiction over non-fiction, and fantasy in particular — it’s an escape of sorts that feels immersive and, well, magical (for lack of a better term).
I haven’t yet completed my undergraduate degree, but I’m working on it. That’s what I get for taking time off and switching majors twice, I suppose. I’d like to earn my Master’s degree someday, but I’m in no real rush for that.
I look like some sort of MPDG/ingenue crossover — I have a quirky, wide-eyed, unconventional prettiness.
I have some pets, and quite honestly, those are children enough for me. I don’t possess a mothering instinct for tiny humans.
The man I’m looking for is, in an ideal nutshell:
Thank you for reading all of this. Sincerely, it means a lot to me. Please send me a chat (preferred) or a message about yourself including, at a minimum, your age, your general location, and some defining characteristics about yourself. If I think we could be a good fit I’ll say hi in return.
Either way, have a nice rest of your week, and good luck on your journey ahead!

2024.05.20 03:25 PrincessDPRK Interested in the DPRK?
I am the daughter of two defector parents who have always encouraged me to explore my heritage and the place that so easily could've been my homeland.
I've been to NK multiple times as a child, we have a close friend who is very high up working in Koryo Tours and I've even gotten to stay at the international children's camp in the DPRK for a long term visit as a child!
I run the sub NorthKorean , if you want to get a sense of the type of content I'll be posting to my YT channel, please take a look at my postings over on my sub.
my videos mainly consist of content from inside North Korea, either by North Koreans (meant to be seen by citizens of NK - such as propaganda), or hidden footage taken by citizens (not meant to be seen inside NK but leaked footage of the more rare sights and what people call "poorer regions" of the dprk- showing exactly what goes on in those regions, debunking many fictitious claims and rumors), cartoons created by the regime with English subtitles, cartoons from Disney that happen to have NK dubs, and so much more.
It's pretty fascinating witnessing what people inside this very closed off country that Americans are unfortunately not allowed to see with their own eyes (for obviouse reasons, but how shall we have any right to complain?). Things that citizens of the DPRK witness on television and in the media.
So come and join, subscribe and follow me on my new adventure into YouTube!
If you happen to have a YT channel of your own, or a sub that you moderate, I will absolutely sub4sub. We are definitely like minded here (I would anticipate) and I am so down to support y'all, in this world of bias and misinformation... Slander and propaganda.. we gotta have each others backs.

2024.05.20 03:25 balenciaghoe It’s acceptable to ask a woman out at the gym
I’m a woman and working out at the gym there’s times men would ask for my number or strike a conversation with me. i don’t mind as long as they’re not disrespectful and can take rejection. I honestly rather meet a man at a gym than a club or bar. I think meeting a man when he’s under the influence isn’t a good impression and it seems to me they are more so looking for a hookup than a relationship. I met people that met people at the gym , I even had a friend that met her fiancée at the gym. I think for some woman who don’t like men approaching them is either because they’re in a relationship or the man is unattractive. If an unattractive guy comes up to me and tries to get my number obviously i will reject them.. it’s not that i feel unsafe until someone gives me a reason to be unsafe no matter what they look like. But after i reject them ,i keep minding my business. I don’t feel awkward.. I work at a job where many guys asked for my number or tried to flirt with me that i rejected and ignored. I see these people everyday.. im not going to leave a good job or change my schedule just to avoid the awkwardness. I don’t mind talking to guys who aren’t attractive to me but if they’re starting to flirt then i won’t even acknowledge them anymore and that’s the truth. Attractiveness and personality matters to people no matter what. I’m sure if someone unattractive to you started flirting you wouldn’t have interest in talking to them anymore vs casual convo. If an attractive guy comes up to me clearly it would be different.
I know men are scared to even bother talking to someone which I get and i understand why some woman want to be left alone but they can’t speak for us all. The gym is a public place we share amongst people , people meet in public places. A person you meet can become a friend , a best friend, a partner and so on. I enjoy meeting people. If you go to the gym and disagree with this statement then great continue doing what you do but this is just my opinion. (:

2024.05.20 03:24 Future_Emergency4501 The gay trans man dating experience is exhausting
The gay trans man dating experience…
I’m a bisexual black trans man and I’m attracted to masculine men, trans or not, I don’t care. This rant is more focused on the black trans side of things. Whenever I’m online trying to find masculine black trans men..there isn’t none and if it is, they’re straight.
I feel like a lot of black trans men are scared of that target that’s prevalent in the black community for gay men, which I totally get. “You’re going to transition, but still date men, why not stay a girl?” The ignorance of transness is worldwide but if heavy in the black community.
Because of this, a lot of people choose to stay outside of gender norms and away from appearing cis, to avoid this target, while still dating men. It’s frustrating because when you see a masculine black trans man, and he isn’t straight, you get confused looks on both sides…
Had one trans ex friends tell me, “but you look like a dude”. And another ex friend say, “most guys wouldn’t be into you because you look too much like them.” LIKE WHAT?!

2024.05.20 03:24 chailattebabe 32 [F4M] Pennsylvania - the search for the one continues
Hey there, pic of me here
I’m looking for someone to talk to every day, someone who craves connection just as much as I do. Note that I would like to text but voice/video chatting is nice too.
I’m employed full time as a retail manager. In the past, I’ve taught elementary school and been a pharmacy technician. I’ve had several jobs in retail before the one I have now. I can actually count on two hands how many jobs I’ve had!
I love makeup, skincare, and fragrance. I used to have a huge collection of everything but I recently went through a purge so I am starting over but it has been fun to have a fresh start!
In my free time, I enjoy shopping. My favorite stores are Ulta Bath and Body Works, Five Below, and Target. I also love the occasional trip to Dollar Tree!
I’m also into video games. I’m still in the process of playing Pokémon Violet even though it was released a year and a half ago. I also collect the cards, play the card game online, play Pokémon Go, and watch the anime from time to time.
It’s important for me to note that I recently made the switch to sobriety for my own health. I still enjoy going out from time to time, I just choose not to drink. I don’t mind if you drink, however.
In the near future (within the next 2-3 years) I would like to settle down and start a family.
Please only message me if you are serious about talking. Send a photo with your message, I tend to overlook the many plain “hey” and “what’s up” messages. I look forward to meeting you!

2024.05.20 03:24 No-Psychology-7322 Nicole…
Wow during their first season I really felt for her but this season has made her look like a conniving, gaslighting, bitch. She absolutely threw a fit when he doubled down on wanting a divorce with the “well fine I don’t want you to stay here”. I’ve never seen two people so wrongly matched in a relationship, divorce is what is needed and it should have happened years ago 😅

2024.05.20 03:24 throwRAeduca 24F have betrayed my boyfriend's 24M trust by looking at his texts. How can I repair this?
live with my boyfriend, and his laptop was the only one that connects to our printer. One day while he was out I tried to print something from his laptop, but was immediately met with a bunch of iMessage notifications from his ex-girlfriend. I was under the impression that they no longer spoke, so even though I knew that I shouldn't look, I did. The messages were very friendly - not necessarily inappropriate but far more intimate than I would have expected (based on the disdainful way he talks about her). I was very hurt by this, so when he came home I asked "do you still talk to _ ?" and he was like "not really, only about technical stuff" (ie, details about their old flat and pet insurance payments). I knew that this wasn't true, and I accused him of lying to me. He kept denying, until finally I told him that I had seen the messages. He got very angry at me for looking at his texts, saying that l've betrayed his trust, that I had tried to trap him in a lie, and now our relationship is forever changed. I know that I shouldn't have done what I did, I should have been upfront and told him that I saw the messages come through on his laptop, and I regret that. I've expressed this regret to him, but he is still upset with me and slept on the couch last night and wants space from me today. I am extremely mad at myself and simultaneously hurt by his dishonesty. I do not want this relationship to end, it is very serious and I love him deeply. Being locked in together during this pandemic has been a strain on us, and I just want us to be able to make it until things get less restricted in the summertime. How can I help build trust back between us again? Any advice would be appreciated thank you!

2024.05.20 03:24 LordofWesternesse IIL "Country Roads Take Me Home" and "Rocky Mountain High" by John Denver WEWIL?
So what I like is folk song and Americana type music. For context and if it helps narrow down what I'm looking for any recommendations I like will be added to this playlist. The idea behind it is that its a bunch of folk and Americana songs from places all around the US and Canada along with songs that capture the general vibe of rural North American living.

2024.05.20 03:24 AwardSignal Egg irl
 | So I had originally planned to make this comic like 3 weeks ago, cause I was feeling super euphoric and wanted to come out, but then church happened & I just couldn’t bring myself to finish it (was like halfway done). But now it’s kinda too late, since this made sense before me coming out and…oh yeah, that’s what I wanted to talk about: submitted by AwardSignal to egg_irl [link] [comments] I DID IT (kinda)! I came out to my aunt today! I had dropped massive hints on her on Friday, I told her I had a problem, let her know that it has to do with lgbt and that the term egg is related. And now I talked with her again today and asked her if she figured it out…and yes, she did. She looked it up and found people using the term egg on Reddit (you guys, gals & non-binary pals helped me once more, thanks for that) and well…she said she’s proud of me. For being open enough to question myself, for having the courage to tell her & that she’ll be with me no matter what. She even told me that she knows a therapist who’s also a trans-woman so if I ever want to, she can arrange a meeting. I’m…I’m just so relieved…and so happy I almost cried (wish I could, but tears coming out is something I still gotta work on). Our talk didn’t last long, cause my brain and heart were going overtime and burning up, but…I’m really glad that this happened. I knew she would receive the news well, but it actually happening feels very different. Next step: my brother….but not for a while, I need a break to calm myself or I might faint. Thank you, to all of you who’ve been with me thus far. Just answering my questions, simply making jokes, it may seem short and quick to some of you, but it is partly responsible for the courage I could muster to make it even to this point. I still have a looooong way ahead of me, but this is definitely my greatest achievement so far. Thank you, and may you all have the best of luck, courage and results in your ways as well ⭐️ |
2024.05.20 03:23 MachineParticular240 I left a long time friend and gave zero explanation
This is a long read.
This happened 8 years ago and I still feel a lot of guilt for this. I used to be friends with this person since middle school. When we got into high school she started becoming really rude, never saying thank you or you’re welcome, when we invited them out all of our parents used to not like how they had 0 manners. That’s not why I started hating this person though. When I left my ex in middle school over the summer that friend and my ex got together. At the time I thought nothing of it but the older I got the more I realized that wasn’t ok. Note: I’m not mad about that at all. That ex texted me years later apologizing for how shitty he treated me those couple of years. I never said anything to them and acted like it didn’t hurt so I’ll take responsibility there but I feel like I shouldn’t have to tell somebody that. But we were really young so whatever. This friend used to grope me in like a “complimentary” way. Like would grab my boobs, hips, and thighs and say how they wants these types of body parts. I never said anything about it but it did bother me. Again, I’ll take responsibility not speaking up. This friend used to do it to other women friends as well. This friends boyfriend used to touch us inappropriately and also a few other guys in our friend group would touch me in the waist and hips and make inappropriate comments to me. The friend also punched and kicked me and other people several times. I recall I couldn’t save them a piece of pizza at a school event and they punched me and left a bruise on my arm. Again, never brought up how it bothered me. I remember they also slapped their ex over something. Don’t remember what but still. They punched and kicked my other friends as well. I also recall them kicking me cause we would talk about our grades, this friend would fail every class and for me passing my classes ment I wasn’t going to sleep hungry at home. Also all my other friends would exchange grades as well. I guess they took it as a personal slight. Like we were making fun of them but I genuinely just wanted them to pass. They kicked or punched me whenever they didn’t like what I said or did. Never brought up how it bothered. We were probably around 16-18 at the time. This friend started hating another girl because their ex (my ex from middle school) broke up with her and started dating other girl. I didn’t care and started not liking the girl out of support for my friend until my friend snuck pictures of the new girlfriend without her knowledge and would compare her body, makeup, and face with theirs, basically body checking them and would make shitty little petty comments about her. I left a comment on the Instagram post saying how it didn’t look good. My friend then dm’ed me saying how I was basically being a bad friend for not blindly supporting them. I stayed friends with this person for awhile. The final straw was when this friend took of picture of my not yet out of the closet gay friends who were just starting to date and posted on their Instagram. My gay friends were to scared to confront them so I did. When I did they acted like a toddler and finally deleted it. I know it was a honest mistake and probably had good intentions but I was so fed up at that point. I started talking to my other friends about it and they had similar grievances, especially my other girl friend. This person wasn’t someone I felt like I could confront and have a normal conversation and tbh I was honestly kinda scared of them so I had a plan to wait until graduation to leave. I basically ghosted this person irl. I feel bad about all of that but what I feel bad for the most and I know this wasn’t good or nice of me. Is that I did end up talking shit about them to my other friends. We all had issues with them and it got bad. Like messaging each other to talk about what stupid thing they did today and basically to dump our feelings about whatever that person did to us or said. I also feel bad because their boyfriend at the time came out to me one day after school and told me that he was being cheated on. Note: their relationship was really bad. When he asked my opinion I said they should just leave each other. I feel bad because that was really none of my business and I should have just kept my mouth shut. I also was stupid in high school. This one is so fucking stupid but I actually lied about my nationality because I thought it would make me cooler. It ended up making me look like such a fucking idiot and I regret it so much. It is just a blatant lie and I apologize to anyone I lied to. I don’t blame anyone for thinking I’m a slimey person for doing that and that’s no one else fault but my own. Problem I’m having is that I’m a lot older now and I still feel bad. I’ve been going to therapy but I feel awful. To the point to where it’s kinda haunting me. I dream about it frequently and just feel like I don’t deserve anything good. I sometimes want to apologize to them but then I think of the treatment I got and don’t want to anyone. I know it’s the bigger person thing for me to do but idk. I want to move on. But I understand why they hate me as well.
Note: after our graduation we had a school after party. I wasn’t her friend so I continued on with the party. She then posted a picture to Instagram of someone dressed up as me and that friend putting a fake knife to her neck. I’m pretty sure this person still vague death threats me as well.

2024.05.20 03:23 ChampagneRabbi Great Pyrenees Leg Injury
 | My Great Pyrenees has had this injury on his leg for three weeks now. When I initially took him to the vet, I thought it was a hot spot, but she said it was actually clearly a dog bite from my friend’s Pitbull he had been romping around with over the weekend while we were visiting. I triple checked that it wasn’t a hot spot because he was messing with it and has some allergies. She said no, it was a substantial three inch bite, and she shaved it down (she was right, it was all scabbed). She medicated it, gave him oral antibiotics for it, and wrapped it for a few dqys in gauze. You can see the white scar where the scabs were. submitted by ChampagneRabbi to PetAdvice [link] [comments] My concern is: The patch keeps getting bigger and worse because he keeps chewing on it. I have cleaned it, tried AC vinegar, tried baking soda, wrapped it, and tried allergy medication as well to try and soothe the itch for him, but no luck. The skin looks kind of lightly discolored grayish/brownish to me as well, aside from the red irritation. We recently moved so I also wondered if the chewing might be anxiety related. I’m desperately trying to keep it wrapped, but I seem to be losing the fight to my highly determined, 90 pound marshmallow son. A cone doesn’t really work because he basically just uses it as a megaphone to deafen me and harass my elderly neighbor with his sonic boom barking. I feel a bit stuck, like I’m going crazy and exhausting my options for a non-specific issue, but I’m still going to call the vet back about it tomorrow. My question is: Do you have any advice for something I haven’t tried? Or…Could you please give me a sanity check that this is not a big deal? Or…do you have any advice on what to specifically address with my vet, and what to ask her when I take him back there tomorrow? I don’t just want to be like “but why leg bad if medicine?”. I can definitely be overprotective of him, but I am pretty alarmed, and I want to make sure that I can accurately express my thoughts to the vet without being dismissed again. My boy is clearly very uncomfortable, he keeps showing me his leg, and I just want to make it better more than anything. Thank you! |

Hello, you can call me Drake, I honestly looking for find someone who is the perfect other half to myself. I currently work from home so am available most of the time.

2024.05.20 03:23 AwardSignal Missed the timing, but…
 | So I had originally planned to make this comic like 3 weeks ago, cause I was feeling super euphoric and wanted to come out, but then church happened & I just couldn’t bring myself to finish it (was like halfway done). But now it’s kinda too late, since this made sense before me coming out and…oh yeah, that’s what I wanted to talk about: submitted by AwardSignal to traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2 [link] [comments] I DID IT (kinda)! I came out to my aunt today! I had dropped massive hints on her on Friday, I told her I had a problem, let her know that it has to do with lgbt and that the term egg is related. And now I talked with her again today and asked her if she figured it out…and yes, she did. She looked it up and found people using the term egg on Reddit (you guys, gals & non-binary pals helped me once more, thanks for that) and well…she said she’s proud of me. For being open enough to question myself, for having the courage to tell her & that she’ll be with me no matter what. She even told me that she knows a therapist who’s also a trans-woman so if I ever want to, she can arrange a meeting. I’m…I’m just so relieved…and so happy I almost cried (wish I could, but tears coming out is something I still gotta work on). Our talk didn’t last long, cause my brain and heart were going overtime and burning up, but…I’m really glad that this happened. I knew she would receive the news well, but it actually happening feels very different. Next step: my brother….but not for a while, I need a break to calm myself or I might faint. Thank you, to all of you who’ve been with me thus far. Just answering my questions, simply making jokes, it may seem short and quick to some of you, but it is partly responsible for the courage I could muster to make it even to this point. I still have a looooong way ahead of me, but this is definitely my greatest achievement so far. Thank you, and may you all have the best of luck, courage and results in your ways as well ⭐️ |
2024.05.20 03:23 Difficult-Trax Live feeding questions
 | I’m going to be feeding my new girl a small live mouse. As that’s what the breeder recommends. Then I’m going to move to a live rat pup, before switching to frozen/thawed rats. I think that will give her the best chances to pick up eating frozen rats, nice gradual transition. submitted by Difficult-Trax to ballpython [link] [comments] My question is how do I give her the mouse? Do I just release it in her tub? Should I put it in front of her hide? Should I remove her hide so she has to get it? I’d put it back once she’s consuming it. Or should I remove the fake plants so it looks like the picture? Less places for the mouse to hide, maybe? Should I dangle it like you would a F/T? Picture for tax. |
2024.05.20 03:23 dixcgirl10 Breaking Down Bates
- Carlin had a big week of giggles and guffaws for the camera. She took an influencer trip to Skyland Ranch, used a Billie Eilish song on an IG reel of her children and then gaslit her audience into believing she and Evan have well known catchphrases “CrAAzy”, “Love, Bye” and “bruh”. They slapped these random words on hats and TShirts and people STOOD IN THE RAIN to buy them. I saw a grown azz man in a “BRUH” hat. Other wild things that happened at their Cash and Carry sale included someone taking pics of their kids in front of the Tesla, referring to the dresses as “she” and calling their vlog “vloggy”.I have cringed too much over all of it. Layla put on a full show for the camera at a nail salon AND the dance studio while Zade earned his keep wearing pretend high heel shoes. They wrapped it all up in a big terrible bow by featuring Hobby Lobby.
- Whitney played second fiddle all week to Carlin… folding shirts, holding babies and modeling Temu dresses that they marked up 347%. Zach was back in the Bates Kitchen this week and decided the best way to get views was to bring in the kids so we got to watch Kacie mix and mess and poke around in cake mix and canned frosting to concoct cake pops. Then the grossest thing happened… ZACH BATES FARTED. During a COOKING SHOW. IN THE KITCHEN. I mean he ripped a big ole juicy poot and they all laughed and decided to air it and then they SOLD those dang FART POPS at the Cash and Carry sale. He also made some terrible Psychology jokes. I bet soon enough they will have “fart pops” on a hat for sale.
- The Balka crowd were living it up this week in a 600$ a night beachfront condo that included a beach chair service. This family trip was really just a content mill and man did Josie churn it out. She is full on exploiting her children while drowning in a sea of beige. What has happened that she is suddenly, desperately pouring out content on every platform… did Kelton tell her she needed to make some money to pay for her Sephora habit OR is a product launch in the works? Our Fundie Kim K.is pushing links while living life through a gauzy filter featuring tinkly music.
- Katie had to let Travis go on this fake tour, but not before she let all the groupies know that was her mans. Trav said he was only singing 3 or 4 songs at each show so tell me again why they moved from Jersey for THIS? Speaking of Jersey, the vlog featured just a blip of the Clark family and it looks like GiGi has been drowning her sorrows by remodeling at her house. Katie got them back to the hive as quickly as possible and spent her week with Carlin and co at the playground and pool.
- Lydia is bored bc she is married to Trace. All of her photography skills are now used to take pics of sneakers, weights, water bottles and pickleball. This crew has been featuring Lydia’s family pretty heavily lately, including spending Mothers Day with them where they made small talk with Trace and pretended to like him. Trace spilled the beans that his parents gave away all the pets at the big house while simultaneously telling us that Lawson doesn’t take care of Duke bc he gets dropped off there at least once a month. Later they debuted 40 minutes of Trace painting Lydia’s face like it was a fence while mouth breathing. Lydia’s mom called to show her the pet emu eating cherries and that was the best darn thing they have shown us in months. More emu please-less Trace!
- Michael and Brandon brought in the professionals this week and exploited Layla and Zade Stewart. Layla is as good as any second year stage student at this point… BUT Aunt Michael has rules so she had to slow her role. Brandon was excited to draw Layla a princess after 3 weeks of sharks and whales… honestly everything he draws sort of looks the same. They also went to Honea Path to see Poppa Bill and Momma Jane who was smiling that it wasn’t one of the grands with 18 kids.
- Down in passive-aggressive land Alyssa Webster told the tale of how all FOUR of her girls were asked to be flower girls and how that had NEVER happened and how SPECIAL that was. After several posts exclaiming her undying devotion and love to “buddy” she showed off the bad 80’s prom dress she was given by that dress shop she promotes. If a flame came anywhere near her it would have been all she wrote for Mrs. Webster. That dress was awful… but not as bad as the one she was gifted from BSB(which she called “my sister’s boutique”). The vlog shows John being an absolute jerk while Alyssa sneers and snarls and tries very hard not to say that her Mother’s Day sucked. It did suck and in order to make it up to her, daddy Webster put on a button down shirt and took her to the Cheesecake Factory. After all of the slap happy crappy birthday parties and Christmases she has given her girls… she expected WHAT for Mother’s Day??
- Lawson made an absolute fool of himself while revealing the worst kept secret ever… it’s a boy, yall. Michael and Brandon punished themselves by throwing the party and doing all of the work while Tiffy and Lawson preened for the camera and asked people over and over what their guess was. This was filmed on I Love You Day weekend at the IBLP leaders church so this is old, old footage aaand these people are all perfectly fine with what their dad does. Tiffy and Law made it a point to say there was a bigger crowd than was at their wedding. Tiffy cried after finding out she is carrying a little Lawson and Duke was nowhere to be found. I do think he congratulated them on IG though, so all is good.
- Oh Erin… what a week you had. You got Momma and Daddy Bates all to yourself for Mothers Day and for Carson/Charles’ birthday. Gil and KJ also picked up a nice paycheck for speaking and preaching at the Paine’s new church. Even though Erin happily joined a church that prides itself on promoting the corporal punishment of children, she still put together a glowing reel for Carson/Charles’ special day that featured him down at it at his second job of brothermomming. Not one picture of herself with the child was included. Later Erin threw a free notebook in with her construction paper cards as an incentive to buy. Free paper for buying paper is super exciting, right?
- Bits and Bytes… Jadon and Layla are the same height. The Utah photographer that Alyssa used is followed by ALL of the Bates. Everyone of these Trad Wives are now promoting Easy plants. Why can’t Zach have any closeups in his cooking videos? Jeb/Jud broke his arm.
2024.05.20 03:22 DesignerRelative1155 Is a fracture at the very tip of finger necessary to xray or will it just be splinted anyway?
F52, 5’10” 145 lbs. asthma/allergies, montelukast, levoceterizine, Advair
TLDR; if the tip of this finger is in fact fractured is there any need to get an xray or will they just splint it regardless?
this is what it looks like right now.
My finger got wrenched when the dog pulled suddenly very forcefully on his leash (insane prey drive) and the leash caught the tip of my left ring finger as it pulled sideways. The very tip from the first knuckle (is the one closest to the nail considered 1st?) thru tip hurt immediately. There was/is no pain in any part of the rest of my finger. This happened yesterday around noon. Today it is bruising and swelling. I can move it. Stiffness at that knuckle joint. No pain or throbbing at rest(after the first 15 minutes or so) unless I press it on it at the base of the nail. I put a finger splint we had at home on it and it’s fine.
I really really can’t afford to go to urgent care unless it will somehow lessen a cost we may incur later if I ignore it. My husband and daughter were in a major auto accident (hit by street racers and pushed into big rig) a few months ago and we are so far underwater and the medical bill collectors are hounding. My husband is putting off shoulder surgery from that because we have no money. I really cant go pay for an xray for them to put it in the same splint I have and send me home. Is there any reason I need to go in or can I just assume it’s a fracture and splint it on my own and just wait it out like a toe?
TIA

2024.05.20 03:22 LovesStardust Does anyone have a similar experience with formula?
To start this off with a little backstory. Around the time our newborn hit 3 weeks old we moved her to formula because she wouldnt latch, i wasnt producing enough, she wasnt gaining weight, and it was taking a tole on my mental health. We started her on the liquid form of Similac 360 total care and after about a week we found it was more price efficient to get the powder kind. Well when we did she began spitting up a lot. While being fed and even an hour after being fed she would be laying down and spit up formula. We brought it up to her pediatrician and they first suggested keeping her upright for 20 minutes and said she was starting to gain weight which was great.
A thing to note is our girl is really good at refusing a bottle. she has been bottle fed since we left the hospital and if she isnt hungry she will not open her mouth for the bottle nor drink from it.
Her spitting up continued even after keeping her upright for 20 minutes. We continued to bring it up weekly (she was going weekly for her weight) and at one point they put her on Famotidine. Its hard to say if it worked or not but eventually it stopped working and we were right back to the same issue. So then the pediatrician put her on Similac Alimentum and she got excessively fussy and had dark green diarrhea. The only thing that would get her to calm down was being put in her swing with white noise and her paci. Even then sometimes she wouldnt calm down. It lasted maybe 4 days. So then we moved her to Enfamil Gentlease because we had a can that was given to me when i was pregnant. Within 4 hours of starting that every single bit of fussiness was gone. However, we were back to the spitting up issue and diarrhea. It just so happened that when i took her in for an appointment she had a dirty diaper and the pediatrician decided to test it for blood. They also told us to put her on enfamil nutramigen and they upped her dosage of famotidine. We were told wed be given a call if there was blood. So a week goes by and we dont hear anything. On Saturday she vomitted 3 times during a feeding and we decided to move her back to the gentlease because we hadnt heard back and it didnt seem healthy for a baby to vomit 3 times in one feeding. I call that monday about her still spitting up and she vomitted on the nutramigen and the doctor finally calls back to tell me that there was blood in her stool and to put her back on the nutramigen. Keep in mind the doctor knows at this point that she vomitted on it. They also switched her medicine to Nexium. So we put her on that again and that night her stool had went from runny dark green to clay like and greenish white. We went to the ER because that worried us plus she vomitted again. They told us to call her pediatrician the next day and get a recommendation for a gastroenterologist. We get a recommendation and i go ahead and call them instead of waiting for them to call me. The earliest appointment anywhere was june 3rd which at the time was 3 weeks out. Well the lady at the front desk went above and beyond and mentioned to the doctor about the blood and they decided they could fit her in the next day. So we go and were expecting maybe some blood tests to see what caused the blood. Nope. They asked us a few questions looked at her body and said she needed to gain more weight (at this point she has been steadily gaining weight at every single appointment) So they sent in the nutritionist told us to make the formula a different way and said we could give her the medicine twice a day instead of once. We were also told for the hundredth time that it can take up to 3 weeks for a babies body to adjust to new formula and clear out the old. After every single formula change her stools have changed within 48 hours and been consistent after that. We decided we would stick with it for those 3 weeks and if nothing changed then we were going to get answers. well her stools moved to diarrhea again, her diapers became to where they barely had any pee in them (she would fill diapers before), and she started eating less. So we went back to how the formula was before and now she is spitting up clear liquids, she vomited 2 times during a feeding, has diarrhea, and spit up a few times.
We are at our wits end with this merry go round that feels like no one is listening. i understand that there are steps to this but everything in me is telling me she has something wrong with her. whether it be an allergy we dont know about or something else. Has anyone experienced anything like this or any advice from your experience with it?

On Saturday she vomitted 3 times during a feeding and we decided to move her back to the gentlease because we hadnt heard back and it didnt seem healthy for a baby to vomit 3 times in one feeding. I call that monday about her still spitting up and she vomitted on the nutramigen and the doctor finally calls back to tell me that there was blood in her stool and to put her back on the nutramigen. Keep in mind the doctor knows at this point that she vomitted on it. They also switched her medicine to Nexium. So we put her on that again and that night her stool had went from runny dark green to clay like and greenish white. We went to the ER because that worried us plus she vomitted again. They told us to call her pediatrician the next day and get a recommendation for a gastroenterologist. We get a recommendation and i go ahead and call them instead of waiting for them to call me. The earliest appointment anywhere was june 3rd which at the time was 3 weeks out. Well the lady at the front desk went above and beyond and mentioned to the doctor about the blood and they decided they could fit her in the next day. So we go and were expecting maybe some blood tests to see what caused the blood. Nope. They asked us a few questions looked at her body and said she needed to gain more weight (at this point she has been steadily gaining weight at every single appointment) So they sent in the nutritionist told us to make the formula a different way and said we could give her the medicine twice a day instead of once. We were also told for the hundredth time that it can take up to 3 weeks for a babies body to adjust to new formula and clear out the old. After every single formula change her stools have changed within 48 hours and been consistent after that. We decided we would stick with it for those 3 weeks and if nothing changed then we were going to get answers. well her stools moved to diarrhea again, her diapers became to where they barely had any pee in them (she would fill diapers before), and she started eating less. So we went back to how the formula was before and now she is spitting up clear liquids, she vomited 2 times during a feeding, has diarrhea, and spit up a few times.
We are at our wits end with this merry go round that feels like no one is listening. i understand that there are steps to this but everything in me is telling me she has something wrong with her. whether it be an allergy we dont know about or something else. Has anyone experienced anything like this or any advice from your experience with it?

Hello Guardians! I’m an on again/off again D2 player who’s never really interacted with the end game content asides from doing a couple of lower level nightfalls here and there. With all the excitement over Into the Light and Pantheon, I was wondering what more experienced guardians thoughts were on someone like me going at LFGs/Sherpas to get through Pantheon.
Honestly, I really wouldn’t care thinking I’d never be able to play at the necessary level but for 2 things: 1, the fact that the mode seems to be a “Greatest Hits” of Raids which is intriguing for a non-Raider like myself as I’d get to experience some of the most famous bosses like Oryx; and 2, the fact that you can get guaranteed raid exotic drops from completing the mode (as far as I can tell).
I stress that I’ve not attempted raids in the past because I’m self-conscious of how I play and don’t want to bog a team down. Additionally, my wife and I are traveling for memorial weekend and I would really only have the last weekend to try Pantheon out before Final Shape launches and the mode goes away.
Basically, I’m looking to know whether y’all believe I should get out of my D2 shell for this before Final Shape launches and see if I can find a Sherpa/LFG group to help me through, or if I should just remain on the sidelines for this one. I kinda expect the answer to be the latter but wanted to ask around just in case!
Thanks in advance Guardians!
