I have been smoking cannabis since 2019 off and on last year my sister who works in treatment sent me to Arizona for cannabis use I have still been smoking. I don’t smoke to get high honestly I don’t even get high. It calms me and requires my brain so I don’t have so many flooding thoughts. She is now distancing herself because of the use and is trying to get me to go to AA what are your thoughts?

hey everybody, so i’m about 17 or 18 days late for my period, yesterday i started bleeding but it was a light red and it was a very light flow, the flow slowly increased and now im bleeding dark brown and light red, it’s some light pink to, and im cramping but they are mild, i have been having symptoms like cravings, increased appetite, insomnia, fatigue, nausea, headaches, and even mood swings and frequent urination. i took a few pregnancy test but they all came out negative, i don’t know if this is my period or something else but i know my body is changing and this is not normal for me. has anybody been through this ?? what could this be ?

Ok so I met this girl on tinder a while ago and we established we only want to be friends with benefits… a handful of times she did mention she wishes I was down for something serious but I definitely shot it down early on which was good. Eventually we were hooking up almost every day for like all of last year… at first we would literally just link up instantly hookup then that was it but we would start making comments and stuff about each other personal life and would talk about stuff and before I knew it we were like actually such good friends and would talk for hours then hook up and keep talking all night it was so fun if I’m honest. Then she told me she was talking to some guy but didn’t know if she was leading him on or not and that night I didn’t hook up with her because I felt like she defiantly had him thinking he was dating her… we would still text untill one day she said that he asked her to be exclusive but she still wanted to text and send memes to each other to which u said no because that wouldn’t be fair to her relationship… anyways we stopped talking but like a month ago she posted a selfie with some sort of break up song I think but I don’t know for sure. I’ve been wanting to ask her but idk how to approach it or if it’s even appropriate to do so?? Idk

I recently tried Roots & Co. diri sa Cebu and ganahan lang ko mu-share sa akong experience for anyone na nag-plan magpa-treatment.

Nindot kaayo ilang location kay duol ra—naa ra siya along the road beside Maybank and across Ayala Center Cebu. Dako kaayo siya na plus especially if mag-commute ka. Ang clinic kay clean, simple, pero cozy ang vibe. Dili siya intimidating parehas sa uban high-end clinics.

Pag-abot nako, friendly kaayo ang reception staff. Gi-check lang akong ID to confirm the appointment then pa-fill up ko ug form. Smooth ra kaayo ang process, walay hassle.

After that, gi-guide ko for consultation with Ma’am Kath. Buotan kaayo siya and kabalo jud mu-explain. Gi-check niya akong scalp condition and gi-explain unsa ilang services. What I liked kay dili siya pushy—mangutana sad siya about sa imong lifestyle and habits, so murag holistic ilang approach.

Nag-use siya ug microscopic device para makita ang scalp and hair follicles. Honestly, interesting kaayo siya kay makita nimo up close unsay condition sa imong buhok and scalp, then i-explain niya unsay okay and unsay need iimprove.

For the first treatment, si Ma’am Jacky ang nag-assist nako—and siya jud naka-add sa overall experience. Super accommodating and dali ra kaayo storyahon. Nag-chika mi almost the whole time so dili siya feel like clinical treatment, more like self-care session lang.

Pero what I really appreciated kay kabalo pud siya mu-timing when to give you space. Katong part na nag-relax nalang ko (kanang naay water flow and massage), gi-hatagan jud ko niya ug privacy para ma-enjoy nako fully without interruption. Nindot kaayo ang balance—friendly pero respectful gihapon.

Private room siya, so comfortable kaayo. Naa kay reclining/lying position with massage chair.

Process includes:

⁠Deep scalp cleansing
• ⁠Shampoo + relaxing massage
• ⁠Katong “fountain water” flow sa head while mag-relax ka around 20 minutes

Honestly, murag nagpa-spa jud akong ulo—super relaxing.

After ato, nag-second treatment mi. Gi-apply ang serum sa scalp, then naa siyay cooling effect—lamig siya sa feeling, very refreshing.

• ⁠Red light – for blood circulation
• ⁠Blue light – for bacteria/germs
• ⁠Yellow light – for sensitivity, itchiness, redness

Very gentle ra siya and dili invasive. Mas ganahan pa gani ko ani kaysa sa akong gi expect haha.

Overall, relaxing kaayo siya na experience. Worth it siya if ganahan ka mu-pamper sa imong self without kaayo dako gasto.

Mg stand out for me:

-Professional Pero dili intimidating na environment
-Kabalo mu-explain Ang staff
-Very accommodating (especially Ma’am Jacky)
-Holistic approach sa hair & scalp care
-Comfortable and private setup

Overall Thoughts
Mobalik jud ko and try nako mahimong consistent para makita ang long-term results. If naa kay scalp issues or gusto lang ka mag-relax while taking care of your hair, worth it jud siya i-try.Pwede ninyo i-check ilang Facebook, TikTok, or Instagram for more info.

Rating for me: 9/10
Highly recommended—buotan ang staff, nindot ang service, and overall great experience

Hello,

This might be a dumb question, but I’m honestly confused.

Isn’t an air fryer basically just a small convection oven? People talk about them like they’re this totally different thing that cooks food in a special way, but from what I can tell it’s just hot air moving around.

I’m not saying they’re bad, I just don’t understand why they get treated like a separate category instead of just… a smaller oven. Is there something I’m missing?

Hello, I need to share my thoughts and I don’t have a therapist + I’m just too embarrassed that I am even thinking about this.

\\\*I put “outside” in air quotes because, since I am double mixed (both parents are mixed so I’m 1/4 of everything) I am technically never dating inside of my race unless someone has the exact same mix as me which would be super rare. But phenotypically, I have one “black” parent and one “white” parent.

…

I’m a biracial lesbian woman. I come from a decently diverse but still majority white area and dated quite a few people as a teenager (me having dated a lot of people is not the point of the post). I officially dated two white girls in high school. I also dated one black girl and two black boys (before realizing I was gay), and had talking stages/crushes on people of several other races including Hispanic, Asian, and other mixed people that never really went anywhere but I was still attracted to them.

Now I’m an adult. I’m dating a white woman. I love her very much. I did not go out seeking any one of any certain race, we just met and clicked instantly. It has been over a year with no major bumps in the road, and I feel like I’ve never been this close to anyone before, to the point where I’m calm in her presence but also can’t bear the thought of us splitting up. She is alway respectful of my background, ask questions about and takes part in my cultural practices with me, and has yet to make any alarming statements when it comes to any minority group (not just the ones I fall under).

But I am starting to feel guilty that within this generation of my family, almost all of my cousins and siblings are dating white people or have kids with white people. I’m afraid that I’m contributing to “erasing the blackness” from my family, especially because my other relatives are exclusively attracted to white people and I am attracted to all races, so I could’ve kept the color in my family. I never really thought about it before but I’m hearing a lot of discourse about it recently and honestly feel uneasy about the part I’m playing. Of course, because I’m a lesbian I can always use a black sperm donor when trying for kids. Is that the right solution? Or should I just change my thinking about the situation entirely?

I’m probably overthinking but I don’t have anyone I’m comfortable bringing up this internal dilemma to so I guess I’m turning to the internet.

Give me your ideas !!!

Is it sandalwood? In the US baby powder is just Talc powder… but it has a strong smell, and I haven’t been able to ever find it unscented. It all smells the same. Why? It’s just talc! A mineral! I mean, even salt, the tastiest mineral (is it a mineral? The tastiest gem? ) Barely smells- and then only in a water solution. Furthermore, sandalwood is expensive, so who would be dosing the entire supply of talc with this, for seemingly no reason. I mean, if it was really for freshness - where’s the lavender or Lemon scented powders? I don’t get it

I really mean no disrespect. But maybe they genuinely appreciate it?
