@MissSassbox She is so charismatic and seems like she could charm just about any decent man she wants. I'm perplexed as to why she ended up with her ex.
With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.
“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”
@itsme_urstruly What's wild is seeing bald eagles flying around. They were #2 on the endangered species list (behind pandas) when I was a kid. NEVER saw one in the wild. NOW, my kids knew how to identify them in the sky before I did and I'm still amazed everytime I see one flying over.
@thecimonalisa Yup. Would cause discoloration on my big toe. Thought it was fungus, Dr said it wasn't. Happened every summer and would take a year to fully grow out. Literally took me 20 years to put 2&2 together. I use toe press ons now.
I started logging calls and sending demand letters for TCPA violations (I have been on the DNC list for 14 years).
First time I did this, the company paid me $1500 and this year another company's legal counsel "called my bluff" so I filed suit, settling weeks later for $7500.
Many are hard to track down, using virtual mailboxes and registered agents, etc - but there are ways to find them.
These dirtbags must pay.
@herchosenpath While the content is basically common sense on how to get and keep a man, the Shanaynay comment makes it seem fake. What 20 something y/o white woman is gonna know who Shanaynay is?
