Guess you need to ask yourself how you see it improving your life, to answer that question.
IMO, no social media will improve your life, in a meaningful way. They may kill time, or seem like you're benefiting from them, but in the long run, they are propaganda/data collection machines, and nothing more.
Um, maybe I'm an idiot, but isn't that called murder, or at least infanticide?
Yoga, and strength training (core, glutes, hamstrings mostly) is all you need to do, unless you have some underlying physical issue.
@jacktherippah Probably, but you will also probably have to teach them to use it, and not the couch. Plus, they love to get up on high places, so if you get a tall one, they will enjoy climbing it.
BTW cats seem to LOVE that fake leather (real leather too, but I think they like the fake stuff more), so it may be a bit of a battle.
I'd guess the change on cervical exam was the nurse/doctor that did it. But as we get older, there is less natural lubrication (probably why they use gallons of lube on the speculum). If it happens next time, mention it to the doc/nurse. They can give suggestions for making it less painful (assuming they don't suck, and tell you it's all in your head). IIRC where you are in your cycle can also play a role (don't quote me on that).
To answer your original questions, I think they generally get more invasive, so yeah, but as technology has improved, exams have become far less awful overall.
Yup. Apple Watch for me. It works mostly seamlessly with the rest of my Apple stuff. I don’t think any others do.
Work on/build racecars. Some of it's very technical, but probably not the type you're asking about. Also a woman. I'm checking off all the abnormal demographics here. Right?
Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with you there. The likelihood of it being a complete freak occurrence is slim to none. Call me a pessimist.
The end of the article does say its mating season though, so there may have been other factors at play. Animals tend to be pretty high strung, for lack of a better term, during mating season.
The short answer is yes, you should worry about them. Are they ok in moderation? Sure. Are they ok when they are the main staple of your diet? Absolutely not.
For those that don't know what the term means:
Ultra-processed foods are made mostly from substances extracted from foods, such as fats, starches, added sugars, and hydrogenated fats. They may also contain additives like artificial colors and flavors or stabilizers. Examples of these foods are frozen meals, soft drinks, hot dogs and cold cuts, fast food, packaged cookies, cakes, and salty snacks. - source
Ultra-processed foods don't really contain any actual food. They are derived from food, but they have basically been stripped of all of their naturally occurring nutrients.
There are quite a few studies out there that show that while eating an ultra-processed diet people tend to eat a fair amount more calories (I've seen multiple places say 500 more calories) per day than when eating whole foods, or minimally processed. They also tend to gain weight (over a surprisingly short period of time), have higher incident of cardiovascular disease, had higher increase in fat and carb consumption, but not protein, and high incident of some cancers.
I'd also add that most people probably feel A LOT worse when eating ultra-processed foods. Just observation on my part, but people who eat terribly seem to lack energy, and seem to struggle more with things like sleeping, exercise, etc.
It’s kinda hard to say, from info given, what she might be thinking. Has she indicated, in any tangible way, that she’s interested in more than friendship? In my experience, a lot of men think a woman is interested because she’s simply being nice to them, and enjoys a friendship with them.
I know I’ve personally experienced it a bunch of time. I become friends with a guy, we text/chat/occasionally hang out, and then a month later he’s professing his undying love for me, and all I’m left wondering wtf happened (not saying this is you) to make him think that was my intent. I was just being friendly ffs.
Also, having a work/professional relationship makes it even more complicated. Are you peers? Are you higher in the food chain than her?
I guess what I’m asking, in not the most elegant way, does she flirt with you, or show you she’s interested in more than friendship?
I think high fructose corn syrup taste like literal poison. I can taste it in anything and everything it's in. Funny thing though. Your tastebuds acclimate, and you get used to flavors (either HFCS or Aspartame). I still struggle with stevia, sometimes, but it's far easier to look past than high fructose corn syrup.
At this point, because I've seen the show, I'd have to go back and re-read all the books, to even start Winds of Winter. It's all so mashed together in my head, I don't remember the real story very well.
I've also accepted that he isn't even going to finish the books.
