    Nah, make the setting be literally MGR and just add Eclipse Phase re-sleeveing.

    I didn't realize you could get a peanut-allergy style reaction from cat dander!

    I get itchy skin/eyes/sniffles from cats and dogs, but it's manageable so long as I remember to wash my hands after hanging with them.

    immune systems are really weird and complex, and poorly understood, is my understanding from all my friends in the medical world

    whack shit

    allergies are so weird and never the same person to person (tho of course some kinds are more common than others)

    Buying stuff in bulk in costco seems nice, but I don't want my apartment looking like some hoarders/survival situation. I don't need all this toilet paper all at once.

    or do you

    If I wasn't allergic to cats then right now I'd be feeling pretty good about life
    I wish I knew but no tests said I was and no prior evidence said I would be, but I guess immune systems are weird and complicated and tests are not that accurate
    Unfortunately that is the case, and thus my body is rebelling and I am trying not to be full of anxiety and worry and indecision

    It sucks especially because of getting out of my evil landlord situation smoothly and into a nice spacious clean apartment only to find that I cannot rest


    I just don't know what to do about my living sitch at the moment

    I don't want to rush into getting into another apartment, I need to make sure it's good, especially if it's a long term commitment

    Lol I saw one apartment that looked good but one of the roommates would be a Brooklyn assistant DA... and I like my drugs, so that seems like a bad match, I assume? :exclaim:

    Weh

    At least the roommates were cool when I told them that I might be allergic to YoYo, and I'm trying to figure out what to do

    His name is YoYo and he's so cute and friendly and I have to be like fuck you go away I'm sorry cutey pooty


    Warghl

    zyrtec

    Believe me, I've been trying medications

    Well, so far I tried claritin and allegra, not zyrtec

    Doesn't really help much so far

    It's not the sneezy, red eyes, sinus congestion type of allergy, which is what those things mostly help with
    It's the itchy skin, nausea, diarrhea, swelly throat, chest pain type of allergy - similar to my peanut allergy

    (And neither the peanut allergy nor the cat allergy was detected from the skin prick test which is dumb)

    I've only spent 3 nights at new apartment
    Night 1 was okay I felt weird after, and most of Monday morning felt shitty
    Night 2 was the night I went to ER

    Then the next 2 nights I spent at friends place and felt better

    Was there last night and survived the night but have felt fairly shitty most of this morning

    :exclamation:

    You talked with a Doc about this? I found Singular to practically turn my allergies off. I only ended up on it to tolerate Remicade but got them to just leave me on it since I breathe so much better.

    Well, I went to this one allergist yesterday who did the skin test
    And he was pretty dismissive and was like you're not allergic to cats or peanuts, test says so, here's some medicine for your pollen allergy

    But the peanut allergy is a legitimate thing that I've had my entire life, since I was wee, and is something I've experienced reactions to many times so I know it ain't a lie (luckily so far it hasn't been that severe, except that one time in thailand when I accidentally ate some fkn spring roll that had peanuts)

    Mreh

    Well that blows. Docs who don't listen to you fucking suck.

    amazon subscribe and save basically means i only need to go grocery shopping for meat and fresh veg

    and i'm thinking of doing one of those veg delivery service things. there's one here that's like a super awesome charity for low income neighborhoods in the city, so it's like win-win

    There's a big difference between shopping for a house full of teenagers and, well, anything else, really

    I take zyrtec daily at bedtime. I have a mild idiopathic edema condition which it helps. From my conversations with allergy and immune system doctor, the various allergy med available OTC target different parts of your system in different doses and different deliveries.

    The efficiency of each med is greatly dependant on what part of your immune system is freaking out. Which is why the industry has so many med available.

    I have a costco but it's so much more expensive than everywhere else, for basically everything

    There is no way in fuck your grocery store beats costco on butter, milk, and eggs, and paper towels.

    Though, Amazon's subscription service beats the hell out of CostCo on paper products

    #iamashopingninja

    all this anti costco talk is hurting my retirement fund.

    Hey, I'm not saying Amazon beats 'em at everything...just paper products and most dry goods. CostCo still has the best deals on meat, organic dairy, and produce


    that said,
    having stuff magically show up to my house once a month and not having to think about it at all is extra awesome

    Costco is also for people who cook/bake.
    The per lub cost on sugar, flour, rice is basically 0.

    Costco blows away grocery stores on some things, on others it's oddly similar or even higher. Blanket statements one way or the other will be wrong.

    Also, around here at least, for the absurd restaurant sized cans/jars of food go to Cash and Carry. You can get vats of ice cream or pickle jars the size of your torso.

    Man getting paid is both exciting and super demoralizing. On a monthly schedule I'm just like YAY oh goodbye money, there you go. *waves sadly*

    I've got a chase card and a firestone card I need to pay off before septemberish or the interest rate thing kicks in. Firestone shouldn't be hard but the chase one is a bit high. Never shoulda gotten a credit card. My credit is decent, I'm just concerned I'll get buried under an unpaybackable grand or two.

    If I get this full time job (two interviews next week! Chances are looking decent!) then that'll help, but that first paycheck won't hit till end of August I believe.

    yeeaaahhh, so, I took my greatgrandfather's advice "never pay someone to use your own money" and now I'm damn near 42 with NO credit. As it turns out no credit is worse than bad credit.

    good luck with paying that shit off, but even if you have to juggle credit cards to avoid interest hikes it's better to have at least one :/
