'Safe'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Happy askye is AWESOME!!!
I kinda have tape allergies. But my skin isn't consistent. Sometimes I rash up, sometimes I don't. I haven't found any common theme for the times I do. When doctors ask me, and I say kinda, it confuses them too. But I don't want to say no and then rash up all over the place.
I have become kind of the office band-aid supply ... right now, I have some good brightly colored solid ones, an almost new box of Minion ones, and about half a box of Disney princess tattoo ones.
I like to give the Disney princess ones to the guys ... I'm warped that way.
It's gotten so bad I use gauze pads, and then that crinkle wrap that sticks to itself to hold it in place. It's not that uncommon. The lab staff just nod and reach for the gauze. 'Course, it's problematic when you need to cover a wound on the torso....
My reaction to bandaids was absolutely horrible during fertility treatment. They still irritate me, but if I make sure to get latex free it's not too bad.
Yay, askye! Giddsome and smittful!
Once something sets off the itching, it spreads and my whole torso and both arms will itch for days. I can barely stand to have clothes touching me rn.
My Friday night is reading a really heavy book about how adverse childhood experiences actually affect our biology in adulthood, as in all sorts of chronic illness and such. (There has been a lot of recent research on this, so it's not just woo-woo stuff.) But it also apparently has a section on ways to address that and mitigate the damage, which is the real reason I'm reading.
Heavy stuff, though. I can only read a little bit at a time and then I have to process it. I wouldn't be able to be reading it at all if I weren't in therapy. It's hard to take in.
Do I know how to have fun on a Friday night, or what? (Okay, I also watched 2 episodes of Leverage. It wasn't all heavy reading about childhood trauma and how it will give you heart disease in adulthood.)
I bought that book too. Haven't managed to read it yet.
Would anyone be willing to review/help me with my resume and/or linkedin profile? I need a new job but haven't figured out yet where or who my target audience is...so that's helpful.
That sounds really interesting teppy--I had no idea there were ways to mitigate it, though I had seen some of the studies about epigenetics and stuff.
Steph, what's the title? I'm curious about that research.
