Peeing feels good, no matter how you make it come out

"Shhh shhhh shhhhh... you'll feel better soon, I promise". And they do! (Then my shift ends, and I think about my life choices)

I was never taught disimpaction in school... but when you know it's gotta happen, it just is what it is

I had to take oxy's after hand surgery, and I am not accustomed to painkillers. I ended up constipated, and it was (BY FAR) the worst poop of my life. Like, that (literal) shit hurt worse than the pain of surgery

I'm talking 45+ mins on the toilet; pushing, sweating, almost crying, standing up and down trying to get things to move. I became a little fearful and wondered if I was about to tear my rectum. I felt like I wanted to faint. I couldn't just stop because it was half-way out, making my bum feel like I was getting spread-open by a dragon or something... and it wouldn't pinch off. I admittedly dug in my butt, trying to pull it out... I was in fucking shambles and beginning to panic. It felt like I was fighting for my life

It finally cleared, and I was left with pure exhaustion and butt pain. Prune juice helped me to reconcile that issue, and even though I had never tried prune juice — I'm a "forever fan" of that sweet sweet elixir of preemptive relief

I'll never forget that poop

The threadiverse is small (compared to other major platforms) and I often see usernames that I recognize. How well do we notice each other around here?

I'll start... my name's "MrShankles" and I do be commenting/posting from time to time

Found in the wild, and I appreciated it enough

I've played drums "off and on" my entire life; but I keep getting stumped by 'fluency'. Any tips for motivation or fun lessons?

Specifically, as in having memories from being younger than 3 years old and even further

I orient myself's own timeline upon some early-childhood memories, but some people have questioned it as false memory... which, understandable

But I can draw the layout of every house I've lived in, who's room was who's, where furniture was, certain events (like having gum melt in my diaper, crying in my crib about not trick-or-treating, seeing my first "flying-leaf" insect) and a lot of other random tidbits

A lot of it I've been able to confirm as true, which is what has always intrigued me. How far back is average? I think the furthest I can grasp is around 2 years old or maybe a little less

Maybe some of it has to do with trauma-ish things or something? But I can literally remember the potpourri on my mom's dresser when she was holding me, who was at my 3rd birthday... and just, kinda far back

What's everyone else's memory like here? I feel like my early pre-teens was kinda a blur, but my early childhood seems more vibrant sometimes. I dunno, I was just curious

So where's this kid's GoFundMe? For like legal defense against suspension or whatever. Doesn't matter, but I'd throw $5 to buy them a drink

My wife and I were adopted last month (I'm pretty sure). We tried finding her home on the social media sites as well as put up picture-flyers around town, still nobody claiming her. So now we have an appointment for vaccinations and a spay, and we'll go from there

I'm an ICU nurse. Fuck ICE

I try to save lives, while they execute. I'll practically dox myself... cowards. I'll still try to save your nazi ass if you're dying, because I do my job well

I hope this post doesn't break community rules, but I just wanted to say thanks. It felt like my "egg cracked differently" today. Wasn't sure where to post

I wanted to thank y'all. I don't know that I'm right, in trying to explain it with words, such as "egg cracked"— cause I'm not sure that I can say that. But I think, (thanks in large part) from hearing y'all; I found me again. Not entirely and whole... but I see me again

It feels like my egg cracked differently, if that make sense? It was always just me. So now I know I would probably never transition, because I'm already happy to see me when I see my reflection

But I wanted to say thanks, for helping me see you, and helping me see me. Sorry if it's corny. But I'm forever grateful for that insight. I appreciate you

Idk if this is the right community, but I was absolutely FLOORED this morning by this notification; and needed people to see (so I don't feel so crazy)

I'm moving and trying to sell a futon... so I'm using facebook marketplace. But it refuses to let me turn off notifications about "suggestions", and I guess I just have to deal with it for now

What the actual fuck kinda notification just popped onto my phone though (from facebook's marketplace)? Idk what to even do after seeing it, so here I am trying to make sense of it in anyway I can

What the actual fuck y'all?.

Cocaine laced with fentanyl. OD'd in the bathtub. Wasn't even (remotely) a regular user; just having a little extra fun on New Years. Was about to finalize the adoption of his and his wife's baby girl too

Another one from alcohol, fell asleep in the bath

Another one from an undiagnosed heart condition

Another from a peritoneal infection from peritoneal dialysis (they had sickle cell)

My sister from benzos and falling asleep in the bath

All of them in their 30's. Been a difficult few years of losing friends/family for me, ngl

I work night shifts. My manager one time called me around 2pm to ask me something menial and waking me up (as I was still sleeping for my next shift at 7pm).

So naturally, I called him at 2AM when I was at work... because I had an "urgent" question about a work policy lol. He got the picture, and that shit never happened again

Free labor, and keep her away from customers. Cleaning, prepping, whatever. If she causes problems, she violates probation and serves the rest of time in prison. Give the store an incentive to deal with her. With thin margins, I'd take those odds. Fuck threatening to fire; if you fuck up, you go back to prison. "Now clean the damn fryer's like your freedom depended on it"

Wear a Mask. Get vaccinated. Stop spreading misinformation

Since the anti-mask/vax comments seem to be flooding in, figured I'd make my opinion known too... as obnoxiously as I can, because apparently that's how it's done
