Jessica Bishop65 said:A question regarding vaginal care. Do you apply any creams after shaving or just generally after showering? I want to ensure things stay youthful and hydrated down there...

Are there even specific creams designed for that area?

I’d suggest taking a moment to actually study the anatomy of that region first. You really need to understand the distinction between the vagina and the vulva before deciding what specifically needs moisturizing or hydration.

The swelling has finally gone down, but I’m still dealing with this constant redness and burning sensation in my groin. On top of that, there's itching everywhere—the groin area and the base of the scrotum. Right now, I'm just slathering on some over-the-counter antifungal and antibacterial cream. I've resorted to using gauze and cotton pads just to stop the friction; honestly, it's the only way I can manage to walk without being in agony from the stinging. Does anyone have any actual ideas?

I have one: go see a doctor. They are the ones trained to deal with this kind of thing.

You know, every single day I just feel how perfect life is and how much everything flows, and I’m just so grateful for all these amazing people who show me the way simply by being themselves. I find myself learning the most from the little 🙂

Maybe try brushing up on your grammar and spelling; it might actually give your "poetry" some semblance of credibility 😉

I’m just wondering if there is any actual recourse regarding this lunatic and his clones, other than reporting his posts. It isn't that I'm looking to give him the satisfaction of my attention, but I am frankly exhausted by an inbox cluttered with his endless profanity and whatever else he deems necessary to spout.

Besides, if anyone happens to know his real name, I suspect some professional psychiatric intervention might actually do him a world of good. ☕

Not everything, maybe, but she reacted to about 70% of the panel, just at lower levels... eggs, milk, flour, peanuts, whitefish, trout, ragweed, pine, pollen... There's no way I can isolate her from the world based on that...

Thank you all so much, you've really comforted me. 😉

I know there's just the possibility that she might struggle with a natural birth later on due to years of Ventolin potentially affecting heart rhythm, but hey, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it...🙂

?

That’s the first I’ve heard of it. Honestly, Asthma will mostly just impact her quality of life by preventing her from being one of the first ones up a hiking trail or running marathons and things like that. Beyond that, nothing much else.

William Bennett53, does playing dumb and trolling another member just to be difficult actually count as breaking the rules here?

This situation is even more dire than it was during the era of 🙂

I find myself searching for answers to these exact questions as well.

Is it permissible for me to enter a discussion regarding traffic accidents and suggest that someone essentially invited their own fate by driving at four in the morning—knowing full well that’s when the drunk drivers are usually heading home from the bars?

Or am I allowed to jump into a thread about lung cancer and argue that those who smoke simply brought it upon themselves?

Kiss on the hand 🙏

We already vetted immigrants; we tried one approach, it failed, and we decided it was better to focus on politics instead. That doesn't mean you can just move the conversation over to mysteries. It feels like you're trying to make yourselves look incapable of understanding the issue, which isn't true.

Immigrants were vetted long before they ever set foot in America. This current situation is an entirely different beast. What I'm trying to tell you is that the mere mention of the topic caused someone to react like a child throwing a tantrum at their keyboard, even though nothing had actually gone wrong yet. Perhaps this whole mess wouldn't have even happened if we'd just exchanged a few words about it in the mystery threads.

I'm not playing dumb, so don't act like I am.

Michelle Palmer6, the rules shouldn't be quite as loose when it comes to politics compared to other topics. We lay out the ground rules in the introductory post—what’s allowed and what isn't—and if someone acts up, they get a strike. We'll just have to judge on a case-by-case basis who actually deserves one, and leave it at that.

I understand the decision to move those discussions over to the Politics section, but you can't claim we're encouraged to discuss current events when just mentioning the word "immigrants" yesterday triggered an immediate warning. 🤷

As for ZAG, it stopped being much of a goldmine a long time ago. 🤷

Thanks for the input!

I get the point about avoiding a flood of trolls from the Politics section looking to stir up trouble, but that doesn't really explain why we can discuss fashion, skincare, sex, recipes, music, movies, or taxes—all things that have their own dedicated subforums—yet touching on political topics becomes an immediate headache for the moderators.

ZAG is its own ecosystem; it doesn't even require an explanation. 🤷 I couldn't care less what some random people from the news cycle think about this matter; my interest lies solely with Reljef, Hilda, Blenta, Kiss, Macy, Ribbons, Ariana, and the rest of the group. 😬

Well, you finally pushed me over the edge, so I’m starting this thread. 🥳

Can someone please provide a legitimate, reasoned explanation as to why we aren't allowed to discuss this on ZAG? People talk about absolutely everything on ZAG; we’ve covered every topic imaginable, fighting, making up, and then fighting again. Why is this suddenly being treated as an exception?

So, there was an open thread, things took a turn for the worse, they shut it down, and that's the end of it? 🤷 Does this rule apply strictly to this current immigration crisis, or does it set a precedent for every future issue?

Why is it perfectly fine to go back and forth on the politics of fascists, Chetniks, and communists without any issues?

Does every heated debate on ZAG mean the subject is permanently banned? By that logic, should we stop mentioning gay rights, insults, showering, washing underwear, or anything else under the sun? 🙂
