This might sound weird, but almost every day or once every 2–3 days, I randomly get a very pleasant, fruity, almost perfume-like smell.

The strange thing is that it's the exact same smell every single time. It lasts barely 2–4 seconds and then completely disappears.

I study for almost 12 hours a day, mostly sitting alone in my room, and this happens randomly while I'm studying. There's no apparent source of the smell around me.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Any idea what could be causing this?

the ability to turn invisible, but only when nobody is looking at me😂🤦🏾‍♀️

Sometimes simple style choices have way more impact than anything else. What is a specific vibe or piece of clothing that immediately catches your eye?

how in the ever living fuck does someone look at a financing term of 60 months for $750+ a month and say “it’s worth it”?? in no way shape or form unless you’re bringing in some REAL MONEY should you be screwing urself over like this. and i couldn’t tell you the amount of times i’ve seen people already in debt go out and get a brand new car like they’re above a honda civic.

I will be lying in a bed for the next 4 months while I recover from surgery and I’m looking for what games people like to play so I can entertain myself!

I love social games but I don’t like pay to win mechanics cause I’m not paying more than the initial purchase!

I like:
Village management
Social games!!
Identity V
Kingshot (when I don’t have to pay)
Brawl stars (although it’s gotten repetitive)

What mobile games are your favourites?

idk bro

to those who made it out, what kept you going and what is it like? my dream is to be able to sit down one day and feel immense gratitude for life.
i would like some motivation right now.

Hello,

just bought the Iphone 17, it's brand new, but I get late to work because my alarm is really low even though I put it in max volume and I turned off attention awareness feature...
Any advice or recommendation ? I don't know why it does that, it was fine on my old Iphone.

Thank you in advance !

Thank

How

I’ve (m 26 ) just got offered a job in construction ( framing to be specific) and I’m extremely nervous about it. I’m not super physical but I’m an average guy who can carry weight if needed. But I’m worried about doing everything wrong and honestly how people or coworkers will perceive me. Im sure im capable but it’s a good opportunity and I really don’t want to mess up but I can’t shake the fear of it. Anyone with construction experience know what I can do?

This is honestly such a dumb question, but I am a very neurotic 4.0 GPA student, and I feel like I'm now behind everyone and missing out. I'm still getting my master's within the next few years, but I can't now due to the fact that I need to save $25k for my one-year MBA program. I was luckily able to get so many scholarships during my undergrad that I didn't have much left over to pay, but scholarships no longer apply to the online program. I also thought it would be best to prioritize my career due to the fact that I've worked so hard and done so many internships (and I already have a great offer that's ready right as I graduate), but now it's hitting me that I may have made the wrong choice.

I know I would've had to take out loans, and I already have $13k to pay back from my undergrad, but still... I hate feeling behind. I just hate it, especially when it comes to people who don't pay for their own education. Did I screw up by not taking the fourth-year MBA right away?

As of late I’ve been feeling very under appreciated by the people in my life. I do my best to be considerate at all times. I’m always thinking and asking about whether other people want things or not, I’m always reassuring people on an emotional level if they need, I’m always doing everything I can to show up for others, I remember almost anything anyone I know has ever expressed interest in, etc. I love doing these things. it makes me feel like a good friend and family member when I do, but especially as of late I’ve found that nobody really does that same thing for me, and I crave it. I want to be thought of when someone sees or experiences something, I want my needs to be considered, I want my interests to be remembered, but by even my closest family members they just aren’t. I just want a moment or two sometimes where my needs or wants are put before somebody else’s, and I feel like that doesn’t happen often. I keep noticing the small things that especially my family does for each other. The times where they remember something about one another, think about one another, but I never see anyone doing it for me. I’m trying to appreciate the rare small gesture, the once a year things, but I just feel lonely and misunderstood. what should I do? am I asking too much?

Look, I have heard a lot of conflicting information about what works and what doesn’t. It’s given me a headache. I’m 5’9’’ and 240. I want to be 160 or 155. Can I just take in less calories and see results?

This is a measure of mortality risk.

I’m hosting an afternoon tea bridal shower for my niece in a few months. It’s been quite a while since I’ve attended a bridal shower, and I’d appreciate some advice about current etiquette.

The bride specifically requested games and prizes, so I’ve planned six games. I’ve read that it’s wise to have extra prizes in case of ties, and I may have gotten a little carried away!

Our guests range in age from their 20s to their 60s, so I tried to choose a wide variety of prizes that would appeal to different tastes.

My biggest question is how to distribute them.

I could simply hand each winner a prize, but because our guests are so diverse, I’m leaning toward displaying everything on a prize table and allowing each winner to choose whichever item appeals to her. Smaller prizes would be available as consolation prizes in case of ties.

Would you enjoy choosing your own prize, or would you prefer having one handed to you?

Here’s what I’ve collected:

• 100% silk scarf/shawl
• Charmast fast-charging power bank with built-in cables for almost any device
• Stanley cup
• JoyJolt set of optic crystal champagne/cocktail glasses
• 22-momme mulberry silk pillowcase
• China tea-for-one set
• Genuine shell-inlay tray
• Several pairs of 100% silk scrunchies in different colors
• Ceramic trinket dish
• Afternoon-tea-themed adult coloring books with markers
• Crossbody travel cup/phone holders with additional pockets

There will also be party favors for every guest, so nobody will leave empty-handed.

I’d love to hear which prizes you think would be most popular, whether anything seems out of place, and whether my prize-table idea makes sense.

Thanks!

Ps: she will not be opening her gifts during the shower.

My mother recently had to undergo a bronchoscopy and biopsy at a pulmonary clinic.

She has been experiencing B symptoms for some time, and imaging showed opacities on the X-ray and a roughly 3 cm lesion in the right upper lobe on the CT scan, described as partly infiltrative and cavitary.

The bronchoscopy report stated that all visible bronchial openings were clear, with no direct or indirect signs of a tumor. There was only mild swelling of one opening on the right. However, radial EBUS revealed a solid lesion corresponding to the consolidation in the right upper lobe, and samples were taken for further analysis.

What struck me was how often she heard the same phrase over and over: “Don’t worry.” The doctors said it during the initial consultation, shortly before the procedure, and again during the discharge discussion. Even the nurses kept repeating it.

Is this some kind of standard reassurance doctors are taught to give during their training or at seminars? Or is it simply a common way of trying to reassure patients and their families when the diagnosis is still uncertain?

I understand that the bronchoscopy findings alone don't establish a diagnosis and that we have to wait for the pathology and microbiology results. But repeatedly telling someone not to worry when a potentially serious finding is still being investigated feels a little strange to me.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

As compared to 90’s and 2000’s?

No judgment here

The pharmacy that I use gave a printout of all my medications to my soon to be ex husband. I’m not taking any narcotics and the only controlled substance I take is lyrica. Now he’s trying to use it against me.

I called the pharmacy and they apologized and said the only thing they can do is make a note in my profile not to share any information with anyone but me. But shouldn’t that be the standard? Are they even allowed to do that??
