What's Bothering You?

[Holla]

AMVs are still a thing?

I just asked a question on reddit for subs like diy and home improvement about methods for odor removal. Preferably for antique furniture that retains that stinky must smell. After wasting my time typing a question, my post gets downvoted to oblivion with the only commenter saying 'pics would help'

lol like how would a picture help? Pictures don't capture smell. They capture images. I could fart and take a picture, but that fart isn't going to show up in the image. I swear some people are just stupid on there and probably don't even bother reading. I just asked for home remedy and go to cures for getting rid of stinks.

Reddit is definitely bad for that kind of thing. I never was a fan of the downvote system. One time I was asking how to buy 2 items from the same seller on ebay without paying instantly as I wanted to request bundled shipping (so you don't have to pay full shipping twice when the two items would be shipped together). Even after fully explaining my situation everyone just jumped to conclusions that I was trying to get something off ebay without paying. They likely didn't even read my post in full. Not only did they downvote me into oblivion but they made insulting comments making fun of me.

Turns out my country's version of ebay only let's you pay for an item right away no matter what. In order to request the bundled shipping I had to login to the American version of the site to even get the option. After that it worked though and the seller sent me a revised shipping amount to pay within a couple hours to which I followed up with the payment.

I did end up posting the solution I found on my own (no thanks to the jerks of Reddit) to hopefully help out others in the same situation, but pretty sure the insults continued so I just deleted the post in the end.

People really do suck sometimes.

Just want to let you know, if you don't have any or many friends with babies or kids where you live, you can always talk to me about "new mom" stuff I know what it's like not having any friends with babies or kids after having my son. It sucked and I wish I'd know someone I could have just asked if I was crazy or not for thinking something or another. I'll be thinking about you and hoping for a safe and healthy delivery! (also, sorry your doctor was so rude and unprofessional.)

Thank you so much for always being so supportive!! Now that I think of it, the only person I know is my cousin who got a boy recently, but we have no contact at all.. so thank you for offering to be there for me, that really means a lot to me! Aww, thank you!! I already know for sure that I will change the anesthesie person (the rude doctor) before my delivery or else he might do something wrong, as he refused to listen to the medicine I take daily and didn't even let me find my blood group pass. He didn't write my name correctly either, so no thanks! Hopefully I will be able to avoid this anyways, as I fear it more than the pain.

On Sunday I accidentally stumbled upon an article talking about a certain CPAP & BiPAP machines being recalled. These machines are used by people with sleep apnea. I use a CPAP & hubby uses a BIPAP. Both of which are made by this certain company. The reason for the recall is that sound reduction foam in the machines can start breaking down. It can then release particles that the user can inhale or ingest. It can also give off chemical fumes. When I read the article I was hoping our machines weren't affected so I went to the official recall site and checked the serial numbers for both machines. They're both affected. D*mn.

I went back and read more about why the recall was happening and what health issues these particles and fumes could cause. The particles can cause headache, irritation, inflammation, respiratory issues, and possible toxic and carcinogenic effects. (Carcinogenic is the fancy word for "cancer".) The fumes can cause headache, irritation, hypersensitivity, nausea/vomiting, and possible toxic and carcinogenic effects. (There's that word again.)

Neither my husband nor I can sleep without our machines. I may be able to go a day or two but then my thinking becomes impaired, my balance is off and I'm exhausted. Since I'm disabled I'd rather not have any of those things going on. My husband can't go more than a day or he suffers these effects worse than I do which we don't want since he has to drive and go to work.

We registered our machines to be "repaired or replaced" but there's no info on when that process may start. We called our pulmonologist's office to make appointments to see if we may have any health issues due to the foam. They knew about the recall but didn't "feel the need" to send out letters to their patients who use these machines. Wait... what? You're a doctor's office whose purpose is to keep people healthy yet you didn't think there was a "need" to warn your patients they may be exposed to potentially toxic particles and foam? If they weren't the only pulmonologists in our area we'd have switched but we're stuck. We go to make appointments... mid September is their first opening. Over a month from now.

We're stuck using machines that may be hurting us instead of helping and we can't see a doctor for over a month. I've been trying not to dwell on all this but the words "toxic" and "carcinogenic" just keep rolling through in my mind over and over.

I feel like I'm stuck waiting for a whole shoe store of "other shoes" to drop on us.

I'm sorry this is so long. I've been trying to be strong for my family and I haven't really let everything out until now. Sorry for rambling.

I'm so sorry this is affecting you both, that must be so scary. I would absolutely look into a lawyer. Many that specialize in medical negligence or malpractice will do a free consultation, but the fact that your doctor knew about the recalls and didn't find it pertinent to send out letters or an email, or a phone call...ANY attempt to relay this information to you, is negligence. I would also contact your insurance and explain the situation to them and see if they can send you new machines (you may have to pay for them up front), but then have them reimburse you when your recall paperwork is processed, proving that your machines were impacted. I hope everything gets sorted out quickly and smoothly for you both!

I forgot I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and counseling. I am dreading both. I hate counseling so much..

I feel really bummed out. I'm probably just being stupid and it will pass, but I've been feeling this for about a few days. It is stupid when I think about it because I read some other posts here that are much more serious and or important and I'm just whining lol.

Reddit is definitely bad for that kind of thing. I never was a fan of the downvote system. One time I was asking how to buy 2 items from the same seller on ebay without paying instantly as I wanted to request bundled shipping (so you don't have to pay full shipping twice when the two items would be shipped together).

In order to request the bundled shipping I had to login to the American version of the site to even get the option.

Ugh that sounds so annoying. Yeah I just wanted to know everyone's different ways of removing smells. Sometimes they have really good home-made remedy ideas. It also didn't help that when they finally did respond beside their 'pic' comment because I uploaded one to appease them that they just went and told me a bunch of different things to do that I had explained I had already done lol. So I just ignored them and went on to experimenting on ways to remove smells.

I stopped posting on reddit because of this. i used to play ffbe and i had difficulty keeping track of which unit had what equipped and where and so i tried to sell some stuff and had issues so i thought it was a bug. people asked me to post a picture and I did and I got over 200 downvotes on imgur i think and a lot on reddit. I get downvotes on friend id sharing threads too, or stating my opinion on a unit or something.

i always feel so tired lately idk why

 

[Toska]

I can’t describe how bad I feel right now. I can’t even tell why, but I just feel so done with everything. I’m stressed, tired, and sick of being so vulnerable all the time. I just want to be okay for once.

 

[Hopeless Opus]

? like i'm beyond stressed out. i can't stand any of it right now. i think that if i have to deal with one more inconvenience i'm going to snap out and it'll be my last straw. i just want things to be back to 'normal.'

 

[_Rainy_]

I’m just feeling sad for various reasons.

I feel all of you immensely. I don't know if my words will be of any relief, but I'm also feeling bogged down myself, so I at least wanted to let the three of you know that you aren't alone. ❤ And the fact that your posts are right next to each other is especially telling of that! So I truly sympathize, and even empathize, with whatever you may be going through/feeling. Just know/remember that tough times are always temporary, even if it doesn't seem that way and like they will last forever. But they don't, and they won't. As the saying goes, change is the only constant. And I sincerely hope and pray that everything will turn out just fine for you three. I'm sure they will! Things can only get better, no matter the time it takes.

This artist that I follow just was put under watch after going to the hospital and now in a post, I just saw someone openly claiming her art and admitting they’re tracing and selling it. I know prior to her hospitalization she was upset because she found her artwork on amazon and someone had it tattooed on their bodies and were claiming it as their own. I am so disgusted…I honestly can’t imagine how much that and whatever other issues she was having was eatinf at her :/. I really want her to recover and find a way to fight back. I honestly don’t know what I’d do if that was my art if I ever got to the poibt where I could sell commissions.
