nah. drink it with some lemonade, toss in a small Vitamin C pill, or grab an orange juice—but seriously, you *have* to take it with Vitamin C, otherwise what's even the point? I know because my kid was dealing with anemia for a while.
Look, you absolutely have to—and I mean MUST—take this with Vitamin C. Did your doctor seriously not mention that? If you don't, you're going to deal with some seriously brutal constipation.

Honestly, I couldn't care less. Let those bastards blow their budget on even nastier needles—the sooner they kick the bucket, the less they'll be draining my tax dollars.😠
Honestly, I’d much rather have addicts using in some kind of safe space where used needles don't end up right outside my apartment building. Or maybe in a park where I take my kid for walks. I'd way rather they get access to clean needles and just do their thing, whatever, than have them spreading Hepatitis B, C, or HIV all over the place. A ton of those sketchy junkies have partners who are totally clean.
That's just the objective reality of the situation. As for the idea that junkies should just be sent to a construction site or wherever—I’d love to see what you'd say if someone you actually loved was struggling with addiction.🙄 A friend, a relative, a brother, a sister... anyone? Would you still be sitting there saying, "Just die already, you're useless to anyone else"?
Btw, I know a doctor who's been a heroin addict for the last 20 years. Makes you wonder, huh?🙄
I’ve got a two-and-a-half-year-old, and since he was nine months old, I’ve been taking him to these little singing classes. Here in our neighborhood, they start kids as young as two, moving them through levels until they’re ready for "real" music school. Honestly? It’s just 45 minutes of playing, singing, messing around, and falling in love with music. I don't care one bit if the kid becomes a pro or anything—I just notice how he picks up melodies after hearing them once. He’s super curious, and there’s always some kind of tunes playing in the background. It feels more like a musical playground than anything else. I love giving him this head start, but if he decides he’s over it later on? That’s totally on him. It’s pretty much the same deal as when we sign up for those toddler swim lessons starting in September—just let him try it and see what he thinks. There’s zero harm in broadening his horizons, and what he actually does with that experience is entirely up to him.
Taylor Swift said:They used to call it DNV (neurovegetative dystonia)—basically, autonomic dysfunction means you're just wired to be high-strung... 😈 You overreact to even the tiniest bit of stress. It’s not your fault—it’s just how your "electronic" wiring is set up. 😍
hm.😁 I was sent to a neurologist because of these headaches paired with nausea, dizziness, and my legs feeling totally numb, plus my favorite little hobby: passing out.😁 The problem is, I can't make heads or tails of the test results.😁
He told me the headaches might be sinus-related, but said the vertigo and everything else aren't connected to that. I have a massive list of tests to go through.😁😁😁

I get it. But honestly? I don't know if I could ever actually sign off on pulling the plug for someone I love, even if they had it all signed and ready to go. Call me selfish, but I just know I couldn't do it.
Jose Miller3 said:You just have to realize that having that kind of wish doesn't actually change anything in practice (it fails about 95% of the time).
If you were in the shoes of a bottle opener's grandma right now—even with that wish spoken, signed, and notarized—you’d still be stuck on life support and nobody would be able to pull the plug.
It's depressing, but it's the truth...
I actually heard this heartbreaking story recently about someone hooked up to machines with absolutely zero chance of ever being off them. The doctors kept asking the family over and over if they wanted to take him off life support.

As for anyone promoting unscientific, unproven "healing" methods or ways to stay "disease-free," you'll be sent straight to the newly formed "On the Edge..." sub-forum. That's exactly why it was created in the first place.
And honestly, what does Jamie Clark74’s life story and personal experience have to do with whatever it is you're trying to hawk?
That's not why it was opened. From what I hear, the moderator over there is pretty quick on the trigger.🤣

And speaking of Oprah, totally off topic here, but I remember when Cindy Crawford was her guest and she was talking about being the face of some big beauty brand. Oprah asks her, "Is that why you have such perfect skin? It looks amazing in magazines." And Cindy just goes, "Oh, please, it's all Photoshop. They fix everything up." 😵
You guys totally missed my point. I’m not even questioning if any of this actually happened. I'm just obsessed with urban legends. The myths. The tall tales.
Look, I'm not even asking if you guys believe in ghosts or not—that’s almost secondary. What I really want to hear about are the actual stories from back home (in the States) involving hauntings, apparitions, or any other weird, otherworldly stuff. Like, where do they show up? Why there? What’s the backstory? Just dump whatever creepy legends or experiences you can remember.
