Can anyone else feel sensations in their brain?

Last time I checked there aren’t nerve endings in our brain, so it should be impossible to feel sensations in my brain. However, at random times during my life, like seeing the plot twist in Fight Club for example, I’ve felt feelings in my brain. I just felt it again now while doing some intense introspection, and I just...

TheDoctorDonna,

I went off Effexor cold turkey (not by choice) in 2013 and this has been my life ever since. Sometimes it’s so bad it makes my limbs tingle.

TheDoctorDonna,

It was Effexor for me too, I was forced off it cold turkey and had been exhibiting signs of serotonin syndrome. 10 years later I still haven’t found anything that works long term to help keep the zaps away and they get debilitating sometimes.

TheDoctorDonna,

Pretty much every item of clothing I own is from the thrift store or has been second handed in some way. I love being able to find clothes that are more my style without the $70+ price tags and I’m able to maintain a business casual wardrobe required for my office.

Furniture that isn’t beds are all second hand as well, I just steam clean everything upholstered. Buying brand new is a money making sham that only fills our landfills unnecessarily.

Also, learning how to cook has saved us a lot of money of takeout and prepackaged meals. There are so many ways to learn now too.

We also no longer own a vehicle, we walk, bike, or transit everywhere. I do maintain a license so I can rent a car when necessary though. Vehicles nickle and dime you to death when you own the outright or cost a years wages or so to buy, plus gas and insurance prices are insane. It costs me $500 a year to ride the bus.

TheDoctorDonna,

The worst part is I’m not old enough for grandkids lmao.

TheDoctorDonna,

These are my every day rules.

TheDoctorDonna, (edited )

Even if you could download a car someone would find a way to nickle and dime you to death with maintenance and insurance. c/fuckcars! or gtfo

Edit cause I don’t know how to link communities lol. That didn’t work as intended.

TheDoctorDonna,

Technically yes. There’s lots of open source plans online to build your own bicycle.

But even hypothetically a bike would be preferable to a car for everyone involved.

TheDoctorDonna,

As a Canadian I agree…for now at least. We’ll see in 5 years.

TheDoctorDonna,

Lol can you guess why I left Alberta?

TheDoctorDonna,

I broke my ankle a few years back and the bones had to be surgically reattached, but the OR was full so they had to set and splint it in the meantime. The shot of fentanyl didn’t do anything, so they gave a cocktail that knocked me right the fuck out and set my ankle. My husband said I shot straight up like I was in the Exorcist, yelled and swore a bunch and passed out again. I remember nothing, thankfully.

TheDoctorDonna,

I didn’t wake until the next day, they doped me right up or the fentanyl had a delayed reaction cause I slept for a good 15 hours after I was knocked out.

TheDoctorDonna,

Yep same, I just slept a lot longer, probably cause of the cocktail they had to give me. And waiting for the OR took a little over a day so I was grateful to be out of it the whole time.

TheDoctorDonna,

PETA put out bloody and offensive ads about it once.

TheDoctorDonna,

Heart-on is lovely. It sounds like something you love or are passionate about rather than making it sexual. Your meaning came across fine.

TheDoctorDonna,

To be fair, as a Sci-fi writer L.Ron was actually pretty talented. I feel like I could have actually gotten in to his writing if I hadn’t only ever known him as fucking L.Ron Hubbard the idiot father of Scientology.

TheDoctorDonna,

Except that the first Jurassic Park movie is only one small part of the book and they never let Hammond get eaten like he was supposed to.

Endless disappointment on that front, but I still love the movies.

TheDoctorDonna,

I agree it is acceptable, I don’t often miss an opportunity for a marathon- it just isn’t really true to the book, it’s more like bits of the book are scattered throughout the movies.

And I’m really upset that Hammond didn’t get eaten cause that would have been awesome.

TheDoctorDonna,

😱 ew like in the ground?!

Sorry I was trying to channel Brawndo.

Fellow Extreme Weather Lemmings, what are your Buy it for Life winter boot suggestions?

We got my husband some Helly Hansen boots the year before last and we noticed a hole in them last year. I am right pissed. If I’m dropping hundreds of dollars on boots, I expect to get my money’s worth. What are your awesome boot suggestions to help me do just that?

TheDoctorDonna,

That’s where I am leaning I think.

TheDoctorDonna,

I have Sorel boots right now and I hate them.

TheDoctorDonna,

They aren’t warm enough is the biggest reason, but the style I have had issues as well. Downside of buying clearance online I guess.
