It mostly looked like the very last day of my period. This has never happened to me before; my cycles are usually super regular.
Has anyone else dealt with something like this?

You're ovulating.

redskipper95, what I actually expected from you was some direction. For instance, looking at my initial sketches and deciding which version of the A-men would best fit your vision—filtering out certain drawings or offering suggestions along those lines. Something like that...🤷

P.S. 😁I haven't even started yet, though I plan to soon.

redskipper95 said:I could probably find a thousand reasons not to do this (comic strip)

But there's only one reason, and you're the only one who knows it.🤷

Oh, so now you'll tell me how to get a thousand people to make a comic.
That's a whole different story.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
Fingers crossed for you.👍

I won't say, because that isn't even the main issue. I want to do this on my own.😍
I'll reach out when there's something to show for it.

redskipper95 said:Are you being serious or just messing with me?
Look, if you have a wild enough imagination, you don't even need me. I’ve already laid out the main plot points and the core scenes, so it shouldn't be hard to write it yourself—unless you want the story told exactly how I envision it.
If you're down to collaborate on a comic, we can do that, but only if we're on the same page.

I'm serious. I'd actually like to make a comic together. If we're on the same page.

I'm quite taken with the idea for an A-men. Just let me know if you need an illustrator. 🙂 I would love for us to put together a comic strip 😍

One more stunt like this and I'm reporting you. 😬

Now that he's sketched out the boat 🤣

Set up a tent in front of the economics building and just wait for 😁

Grab an antelope brush and some protector spray, or just take them to a local cobbler in town and see what they say 😁

Melissa Sullivan14 said:Carrots—thanks to Vitamin A. Just don't overdo it; too much of anything is bad for you. Though it's hard to overdose on carrots. 😬 Those blue light glasses for computer work aren't a bad call either. Sunglasses help too. Good lighting while reading is essential...👍

True, but if you want to actually absorb that Vitamin A, you need to eat it with some fat. I'd suggest olive oil.

Just tell me what you've been consuming for the last few hours. 😕

Alexander Lewis said:Let’s get one thing straight: I have nothing but contempt for drugs.
To me, this whole social services situation feels like pure state-sponsored fascism—just total government overreach at the individual level. If a woman is functioning perfectly fine and taking care of her child, where on earth does the state get the authority to harass her with intrusive inspections and constant threats? Honestly, this is just another reason why people are opting out of parenthood: you can't raise a family when you're constantly dodging state terror.

That isn't fascism; they're looking out for the child. They need to step in if she won't seek treatment.

What nonsense. A woman can be functioning fine and caring for her child while simultaneously being on heroin.

The best move would be for her to get treatment so she can actually parent properly. If she doesn't, then at least the state ensures the child is taken care of.

Melissa Perez10 said:I got stretch marks during my growth spurts and again after pregnancy. Some skin just isn't elastic.
I went overboard with creams while pregnant, but it was useless. Save your money; all those drugstore products aren't a magic fix.
My mother-in-law had two kids and doesn't have a single mark on her body. That’s what real skin looks like.
Just accept them. There are worse things to deal with.

True, but he isn't pregnant. Hormones can tank your collagen production during pregnancy—though genetics plays a role too.

Sure, you can prevent new ones or fade old ones slightly, but saying they don't work is like saying you shouldn't brush your teeth because some people get cavities regardless.

mellowmaker16 said:So, how do you actually get collagen?

You can trigger type I collagen production—the kind needed for skin elasticity—using various creams or oils found at places like CVS, Walgreens, or Whole Foods. Stick to Vitamin E, A, or zinc. Just walk into a pharmacy and ask; they'll point you toward whatever you need.👍

Stretch marks happen because your skin lacks collagen. You can prevent them, but once they show up, you're stuck looking at ways to fade them—mostly through those creams and oils mentioned above, or maybe some laser therapy...

Michelle Cook83 said:Honey, most students don't learn that stuff right away. There's plenty of time. They'll figure it out eventually, don't worry.😁

Sure, and plenty of people post mindless garbage too.😘

stormyridge36 said:I realize medicine is a complex field, but certain fundamentals are non-negotiable.

So that’s your entire medical expertise, then?

Learning how to actually talk to patients and why it matters—that's what they teach you in med school.

Please, this guy doesn't even know basic slang, let alone anything technical 🙂 and what kind of expertise is this 🙂 "young doctor"????? 😲
