Hey - you put yourself first, and that’s 100% acceptable in that situation. You are allowed to take care of yourself, and if your boyfriend loves you, he will listen to you if you decide to tell him about why you left in the first place. He’ll understand!

You aren’t an asshole - you’re doing just fine. 💕

Best not to jump to conclusions. It was probably an Easter present from a great aunt.

Those doors are always at risk of breaking for anything, you could handle it way better than the granny would, you did a blessing in disguise, it happens, the thoughts that matter too

Oh man, I feel ya. Not gout but I’ve got other medical issues that have restrictive diets. The bitch of it is, I have to cut out certain foods due to the gastric bypass and other foods for the kidney failure. And the two diets are opposites. Too much of either and a bad day is had by all.

Eventually they sent me to a dietician and after explaining the diets and her looking into it she had no idea what to do with me (a sentiment shared by most of my doctors at one time or another). Basically her advice was, find a happy medium. Well no shit what do you think I’ve been trying to do?

Good you’re feeling better, but I feel ya that the restrictive diets are a pain and sometimes you just want to take a break from it.

No clue what your conditions are other than gout. Hopefully you are on something like allopurinol to lower your uric acid levels. I have suffered with gout for about 20 years, since my early 20s.i ended up having a toe amputated after the uric acid crystals ate away the bone in the toe. My gout was untreated for several years. After the amputation, I went to a rheumatologist and was put on indocin and allopurinol. The indocin was discontinued after the uric acid levels decreased. Now I just do 1 allopurinol a day and have not had a more serious attack than a slight soreness in 15 years.

In the words of my rheumatologist, there is no reason to suffer with gout. Indocin is used to treat acute attacks. Allopurinol is to lower uric acid levels and prevent attacks.

I am sure you have some other stuff happening too that complicates things, but please take care of yourself and see a rheumatologist about the gout. Uncontrolled uric acid levels can/will damage your joints and kidneys.

The panel of glass was probably slightly twisted.

What a mess!! Better you than her, for sure.

My FIL is a Fox News, breitbart, newsmax idiot. But we get along because, for the most part, we do jor discuss it. He knows I’m a liberal and mostly leaves that stuff alone. I have zero respect for his point of view but I didn’t marry him. I married his daughter( who I turned into a liberal:) )

Sounds like a Good Boi stuck with a bunch of useless hoomans.

Just put a facade and go with the flow and agree with his dad. Maybe if you helped at the kitchen you could've ate something there? You sound weak minded tbh.

I think that if she's going to put out mixed signals and invite someone to sleep with them, she should communicate as well. The first time could have been avoided on either party. He shouldn't have been drunk, she should have set expectations before. The second time 100% was him getting rapey. I clearly stated this. He might have genuinely thought that she was into him. Who knows,we have a one sided story and I doubt it went down as he claims and it was most likely much worse...again though, read my comment. I just said that with no communication and her saying that she really wanted to see him and inviting him over to sleep then doing a makeshift king-size bed to share, I can understand a scenario where it was an honest mistake. Add in that she might have been okay with other things like breast play. You're assuming more than what was given in the story. I am not.

Scalded balls, scalded balls, it's Sniveling time in the privy...

I was concerned that this was going to be a story about glass shattering sex in grandma’s shower, but instead I am relieved that it wasn’t, and that everyone is okay

What if I told you that (besides wireless charging) that every charger forever has been a contact charger?

In any case, smart watch is a good cover.

I read an article that a lot of these scams are run out of Cambodia. They traffic in people from Malaysia, Vietnam, Laos and take their passports. Force them to work out of defunct casinos. Hold them prisoner. Real sick shit.

But fun factory makes such good toys...

In his defense, it seems like the charger is indeed unreliable. Being melted and all.

Like I said, it's been awhile since I had a gout attack. I had a mild one for a few days last year. Too much tuna. Not enough cherries. Easily fixed.

This is the first one since everything went sideways in the spring. And it was on the heels of eating so much more sugar, fish and beef than usual, and also no berries, cherries or grapes. I really was asking for it. Which is why I consider this to be a fuck up, and not just more of the bad health this year has seen. I did this. Beats head on wall.

Tempered glass tends to be extremely hard to break, but once there’s a fracture, if pressure gets applied to it, it’ll basically explode like said. I’d guess there was a tiny fracture or crack from coming out of the runners and anything that touched it would have caused it to shatter like that. Very much not your fault.

I mean it more sounds like you flooded your system you should be okay with those things spread out. But that's not coming from a dr or taking into account other issues

So you need your wife to stop you from dipping your balls into hot water?

How have you managed to live this long?

Hm. Doc said "Pre-Diabetic", so I may have remembered the number from six months ago wrong. The 5.2 from this month is more certain. And much happier than six months ago, regardless the actual number.

​

Thank you.

Exactly this. When these doors go they GO.

That’s what the fam said. Better me than 90 year old grandma.

sounds like you saved her from having glass explode all over her
