And everything is orange for him, and himself, and everybody around, 'cause he ain’t got nobody to listen to, to listen to, to listen to…

Now that’s gonna be stuck in my head

Your voter registration isn’t, at least. So, for example, anyone can easily look someone up online and see what party they’re registered with, along with their home address.

I really like and appreciate this well-written and thoughtful comment! Thank you for it. I’m not able to put it into words, 'cause my brain is broken, but it’s helped me. Thank you! :)

Username checks out ;) ADHD & rejection sensitive dysphoria go hand in hand. I feel ya!

Uuuugh, god dammit. Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t heard yet. I figured he was likely lying about half-funding it anyway, but it’s still disappointing. My dumb hungry ass got my hopes up a bit like an idiot lol

How cool! :)

Jeez, that’s messed up. I’m so sorry! I hope you’re able to get reimbursed without much more trouble, and I hope your recovery goes well!

I’m wondering the same thing! If you get an answer, would you mind letting me know, if it’s not too much trouble? I’ve read a lot about it, but it still feels like I’m missing/not understanding most of it. That may just me a ‘me & my crappy brain’ issue, though.

I agree that it easily could be real! My cat does the same thing with used socks, drinking straws she steals from our drinks, (clean & unused) menstrual pads still in their packaging, those little bra padding inserts that go in camisoles and bathing suits, and, of course, toys. It’s so fucking precious and I love it! I’ve found her secret stashes of them multiple times over the years, haha.

Ooh, that’s cool as hell! You’re really good at that. I’m jealous, haha. Thanks for sharing it with us! :)

Huawei? I think you’re giving them too much credit, haha. I’d guess it’s likely to be some unknown, no-name garbage, like you’d get from Wish or Ali-Express (or similar) for dirt cheap.

Yep, that’s what I’m guessing, too.

I believe they were called ringback tones. Those were neat.

An awesome shitty 80s cock rock band! (I adore that garbage)

Oooh, thanks for linking!

I forgot to mention in my other mess of a comment, but just in case you don’t know: a lot of times you can get Ensure prescribed and covered by insurance. IIRC there’s Gatorade-like electrolyte drink options you may be able to get covered, too. It might help free up some money for other things

It sounds like we’re dealing with super similar things, except sometimes I can manage to eat some solid foods, and sometimes I can even keep it down! I survive on Ensure and electrolyte drinks like Gatorade/Liquid IV/Pedialyte, too. I’ve got a low weight but kinda bloated or distended (for lack of a better word - I’ve got intense brain fog, I’m sorry) gut area, too. I’ve got some theories* but I don’t have the money or resources or energy to try the chaos of doctors throwing things at me to see what sticks, or suggesting stupid shit I already tried a million times, or blaming it on me somehow, lol. So I’m just kind of dealing with it because of a mix of lack of money/resources and being burned out by the experiences of being ‘mysteriously’ chronically i’ll and trying to seek medical care. I hope and pray you figure it out soon and don’t get burned out!

*I’d like to suggest looking further into one of my theories/something someone else mentioned in that thread, because I’ve found that the way it affects a lot of people isn’t super well reflected by the stuff you usually find when reading about it, but I don’t want to disrespect your wishes! If you’re interested, let me know, and if not, I’d totally understand. I know how people can get with their unsolicited advice and how annoying and exhausting it can be, even if they’re just trying to help lol.

I wish you all the best and I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I hope the Mayo Clinic can help figure something out. I totally suck at replying and stuff because of my health issues, but you’re welcome to message me (or I can give you my email or number to text or discord or something, if you’d like) whenever you want to vent or anything to someone who has some understanding and overlapping experiences. Also I hope this all makes sense and isn’t too much of a mess to read - burn out and brain fog and stuff makes it tough to gather and convey my thoughts. But I wanted to at least try to say something because our experiences our so damn similar!! I really feel for you.

What’s your favorite flavor of ensure? I usually go for the Milk Chocolate (of the Plus variety since it has more calories and protein and all that.) Also I don’t know if you can stomach Pedialyte, but there’s a variety that has prevital prebiotics (or something like that - brain fog again, I apologize) and I don’t know if they make any difference, but I figure it’s probably good for my stomach issues. I dunno, just throwing that out there.

I wish you all the best and I’m sorry this comment is such a mess!! Please don’t feel any obligation to reply 💕

Fuck yeah. This is an awesome comment. I appreciate you! Keep fighting the good fight.

Hell yeah. What an awesome comment. I appreciate you!

Oh yeah, I forgot to do that when I read about it the other day. Thank you for the reminder!
