So on mother's day 2015 when I was 20, I fractured my L5 vertebrae after taking a nasty fall. I didn't realize it was broken at the time, and continued to walk around with it for about a month before going to a chiropractor for the pain. They told me to get x rays, and the x rays confirmed I had a fracture, but nothing was actually done about it. I don't remember why unfortunately, that whole period in my life is a blur because it was amid all the messy fallout of my father's death that January.
Flash forward to 8 years later and I still have searing back pain. I'm unable to stand or walk for more than a couple minutes. It impairs my ability to work (I'm on SSI now because I'm practically wheelchair bound) and even function normally like standing long enough to make food at a kitchen counter or take a shower.
In doing my own research, I've sort of self-diagnosed myself with spinal stenosis according to all the symptoms I've read about it, most notably in that not only does sitting relieve my back pain, but also leaning on something. If I lean all my weight with my back against a wall, that relieves the pain, and also if I lean on a hard surface on my hands or elbows like a table or counter and take the weight off my legs and back, that will also relieve the pain. Leaning isn't as effective as sitting down though.
I've had x rays since, that confirm my back looks normal. Most recently the other day, I finally was approved for a full blown MRI, which took a 35 minute scan of my back, and the results came back... normal. According to the scan, there is absolutely nothing remarkable about my back.
Has anyone else had this experience? What's the next step in finding out what's wrong with me? I feel like I'm being freaking gaslit about my chronic pain. Why can't I stand or walk for more than a minute or two without suffocating pain, if my back is "normal" according to every scan I've ever gotten for it? I don't even know what the next step is, I thought for sure the MRI would give me some answers. I don't even know what to ask for or pursue next and would love to hear others stories or tips. Also if any additional information is needed from me, I'm happy to provide.

I have tried bing ai and poe but they give exactly the same experience as gpt-3. So is there any site that "actually" use gpt-4 for free?

I'm going into 11th grade soon, and in 11th grade, I'm going to be taking AP US History and AP Computer Science A.
In my 10th grade year, I excelled in both of those classes (which were regular), so I felt like giving myself a push. I'm going to dedicate my summer to studying AP US History, Java, and Chemistry (I'm taking the regular course for Chemistry). I'm also going to taking Geometry for summer school, and when I'm done with summer school Geometry, I'm going to study for Algebra 2. Here is my planned schedule for next year:

• English 3
• Algebra 2
• Spanish 1
• AP US History
• AP Computer Science A
• Chemistry

If I excel in both of my AP classes, along with Algebra 2 and Chemistry, I'm might take AP Physics in 12th grade. Here is the schedule I'm looking to do in 12th grade if I do well:

• AP English Language and Composition
• Pre-Calculus (or AP Calculas AB or AP BC if I can take Pre-Calculus over the summer)
• AP Government and Economics (since in my school, both have to be taken in senior year)
• Spanish 2
• AP Physics (if I don't feel like it, I might take AP Enviromental Science instead)
• (Maybe?) AP Statistics

So is there any tips anyone could offer me so I'm best prepared for my APs when 11th grade starts for me?

SO MANY STROLLER OPTIONS! But we have pretty specific needs!
We're going to be in our 1 bedroom apartment until baby is probably 2 years old. While we're lucky that the bedroom is plenty big for a nursery nook, our storage options are a lot more limited. I need a stroller that will fold down small, but is also going to stand up to all the walks we take to the grocery store as well as at the nearby park and breakwater where the sidewalks are often rough and cracked.
The best option I've seen online seems to be the Uppababy Minu V2, but they're certainly not cheap and there are none available secondhand in my area. When I look at reviews for compact strollers, they seem to be all about being meant for travel and fitting on planes - I don't need to carry this slung over my shoulder, I just need it to fit in the cupboard!
Any suggestions?

I started drinking when I was 14. My mother was an alcoholic. She passed away in 2019 due to an alcohol and opioid overdose. I found her, it was horrendous. It haunts me still.
My drinking really hit its peak in my late teens early 20s. (I'm in my 30s now). I was blacking out at least once a week, drinking at least 3 times a week. My life was spiraling out of control. Strangely enough, I never faced any severe consequences from my drinking, despite having encounters with law enforcement. I once got pulled over when I was 20 . The cop knew I had been drinking. I told her I had been. I was about two blocks away from my house. She said to go home and never do it again She followed me home, waited until I got into my house and drove away.
When I hit 26 I knew I needed to make changes in my life. I didn't want to end up like my mom. ( She was still alive then, but deep in her addiction). I started doing therapy and went to college I graduated when I was 29 and started my career as a nurse.
I cut my drinking back drastically, but still had the problem of binge drinking to the point of black out when I did drink (about once a month). When I get to that black out point it is horrible. I start fights, I make suicidal comments, and I am promiscuous. I sleep with people who I wouldn't have if I was sober. I can barely remember any of it, only bits and pieces.
I've been through a lot of trauma in my life. I have been diagnosed with PTSD. It seemed like all the horror came out when I was drinking, so I thought maybe if I could addresss my trauma. I wouldnt get black out drink anymore. I went back to therapy after my mom died and did EMDR therapy. I also talked about harm reduction with my drinking with a therapist. I cut back drinking even more. I would have periods where I could have a couple of drinks and be fine, but then it seemed every 5 months or so I failed at my harm reduction plan and would get black out drunk.
This last time, about a month ago, it happened again. It really shook me. I was out with a friend at a concert and lost control. I almost got arrested for peeing in a public area. I was screaming at my friend. My boyfriend came to get me and I peed my pants in his car. I tried to get into the bath when I got home fell and hit my head. I was making suicidal comments again. It hit me that I could have had been put in jail, lost my friendship, and lost my partner, maybe my life. I felt so ashamed and humiliated.
I've come to the point where I think I just can't drink at all. I haven't for one month. It hasn't been super difficult for me, because I havent been a daily drinker, but I worry about fooling myself into thinking maybe I can be a "normal" drinker.
I've been to two AA meetings and I'm glad I went. I guess Im just not sure if I can commit to being fully involved. My job is quite demanding of my time. I can't do daily meeting and I was having a hard time relating in the meetings I went to. Maybe it's because I'm still having trouble admitting that I'm an alcoholic. Since I never have been a daily drinker and don't go on binges, it's just like a one night thing. The people in my life don't think of me as an alcoholic, because of that. Like my boyfriend will be like you just shouldnt drink hard liquor, it's not like you drink very often, but they understand the loss of control that happens, and it's hard to explain. I don't know, just hoping for advice. Thanks.

FALLOUT 5
Fallout 5 will take place in the Dixie Wasteland, in the ruins of Charleston, South Carolina in 2322. It will be the first fallout to take place in the South. The only nuke to hit the region was a defective US nuke that detonated as soon as it was launched.
Character Building:
You start with 35 special points, making it so you have a more specialized build or a jack of all trades. The old skill system makes a return, with you choosing a perk every 3 level ups. Skill checks are frequent, and can vary from Special stats to perks. You get to choose a special perk when you start the story, like Small Frame or Kamikaze. Karma has three tiers: Evil, Neutral, and Good.
Mutations and Radiation: Mutations will occur like in 76, but you can become a super mutant if you dip yourself in a vat of FEV. Your strength and endurance will increase dramatically, but many factions and cities won’t let you in without a huge hassle. Radiation makes you mutate more, but if your mutation level is too high you will turn into a mindless Behemoth. Too much radiation will turn you into a ghoul, which makes you immune to radiation and raises your endurance. If you get too many rads while ghoulified, you become feral.
Weapons & V.A.T.S:
Makeshift weapons are far more prevalent in this game, but they are more diverse and realistic than those in Fallout 4. Normal weapons are more powerful and rarer, selling for more at stores. More real guns will be added alongside the retro-futuristic fallout guns, including the 9 round and 1 shotgun shell LeMat revolver. Weapon customization exists alongside a wider variety than of weapons. Dual wielding makes its first entry to the series, allowing for dual wielding of small melee weapons, pistols, and smgs.
Higher Agility levels makes dual wielding more accurate. V.A.T.S will return to freezing the game instead of the slowed down time in Fallout 4
Settlements:
There will be 3 buildable settlement locations that you discover on your own, and 5 customizable player home locations.
World: The Dixie Wasteland is a mix of civilized and Wild. The Western section of the map is the most dangerous, full of raiders and animals, despite that the town of Magnolia is in the west. The Northeast is the city of Charleston, the city of Civitas Ferro is set up within eastern Charleston. The South of the map is controlled by the Brotherhood of Steel as well. The middle of the map is a bunch of small towns mixed with the wildness of the west. The eastern side of the map is swamps, and the west is forested hills. A large lifeless crater exists in the in the middle of the map, simply known as the Hole.
Enemies: Some animals return, such as bloodbugs, deathclaws, ferals, bloatflies, and Yao Guais, Mirelurks, and Gatorclaws. New animals include Raddlesnakes, Giraffe Dogs (coyotes with long necks), Snappers (huge turtles), and Prowlers (mutated bobcats). Raiders are in named groups again, with three main bands terrorizing Dixie. The tribe known as the Confederates who enslave and sell rather than pillage, the Beastmasters who tame mutated animals and attack with them, and the Vaulties who were former vault dwellers. Generic raiders can also be found. Super Mutant bands have moved south from the Capital Wasteland, and continue their sackings in Dixie. Enemy robots are occasionally found, especially from the RobCo factory in the city. The last kind of enemy is the main factions if you piss them off, as they send death squads out to gank you if you have a bad reputation.
Dixie history: The Carolinians united the eastern coast and Charleston together as a large scale civilization in 2190, but by the year 2291, the Brotherhood of Steel invaded. They pillaged, plundered, and took control of the east coast and the capital of the Carolinians. Their despotic rule has causes several factions in the wasteland grow rebellious, and tensions are reaching a high in 2322.
Themes: The game has a southern theme, with the radios playing country and bluegrass music. Characters have southern accents, as do the robots.
Radio Stations:
Magnolia Radio - Swing and Jazz hosted by a charismatic ghoul named Darren Dixie. Darren will comment on the events that occur throughout the wasteland.
Hoedown Capital - A country and bluegrass station hosted by Mr. Hillbilly, a DJ Mr.
Handy. He still believes the year is 2077, and only tells news relating to events that happened leading up to the Great War.
Brotherhood Military Channel - Updates troops about tech locations and orders patrols around.
There are plenty of side quests and random events, including side quests for each faction.
Factions:
There are 5 factions in Fallout 5, and you have to side with one of them to complete the story. The Tribal ending is the wild card ending. The reputation system makes a return, with the New Vegas pictures.
Brotherhood of Steel: The Brotherhood of Steel has turned into nothing short of a jingoistic military dictatorship, developed by Elder William Garrick. The Brotherhood abandoned Maxson in the commonwealth, as Garrick lead a silent coup in the Capital wasteland. The Brotherhood has grown colossally in size, and now spans the East Coast unchecked in power. Not only do they seize military technology now, they also seize stuff like pre-war small arms, Auto-docs, pip-boys, robots, terminals etc. They’ve ruled over Atlanta for the past 2 years with an iron fist, forcing settlers into giving up their crops and crippling the wasteland and infrastructure of the Dixie Wasteland. They control a large city inside Atlanta called Civitas Ferro, with their headquarters in the center. Despite your hatred for them initially, you can join them and defeat all the rebels.
Carolinian Revolutionary Army- The Carolinians are the remnants of the former largest nation in the Dixie Wasteland called the Free Federation of Charleston. It was a democratic civilization based on the old state of South Carolina, with elections and rights for any human or quasi-human. Although it was weak and corrupt, it was better than the alternatives. When the Brotherhood rolled in, the Carolinians resisted their raids, so the Brotherhood overthrew them in a scorched Earth campaign. The Carolinians are the remnants of their military, dedicated to rebelling against the Brotherhood’s tyranny, and have the endgame goal of bringing Democracy back to Dixie. They grow steadily by the day, but they suffer from bureaucratic issues and corruption. You can join the Carolinians as an agent, and you help them lead a rebellion against the Brotherhood.
Greylock’s Hand: Greylock’s Hand are a band of violent raiders and mercenaries, who likewise want the Brotherhood of Steel gone, but instead desire an anarchic survival of the fittest wasteland. They are lead by a profane, wild ghoul named Greylock. They are basically terrorists, but their raids and ambushes against the Brotherhood are effective. They reside in a secret underground missile launch site, completed two days before the war. Even the Brotherhood knows nothing about it aside from rumors. The missiles, however, are not finished. You can join Greylocks Hand after getting kidnapped by them, and after you help them build part of the missiles.
Magnolia: The last joinable faction is Magnolia, a large settlement in and around the former plantation home. The city is ruled by a group of Mister Handys who escaped from a crashed truck driving to Charleston the day of the Great War. They saw the magnolia plantation and went their to clean, doing so and repairing it for 150 years, eventually realizing what was happening in the world around them.Their newfound “sentience” allowed them to create a settlement, inviting wastelanders and tribals to live and trade under their protection. Their elected leader is a specialized Mr Handy that has economic programming. The robots have defended themselves from several Brotherhood attacks, and after some convincing they allow you to become an honorary robot and join their faction.
Tribal: Instead of choosing any of the four main factions, you can instead unite the smaller settlements, tribes, and factions into New Dixie. You are assisted by an intelligent Supermutant from the Capital Wasteland named Spider, acting as your loyal second in command.
Minor factions:
The Network: A secret underground trading organization that sells and trades equipment that would normally be confiscated by the BoS. You can rat them out to the BoS, or you can join them.
Wasteland Marshalls: A paramilitary organization that patrols highways and hunts raiders, based on the US Marshals of the past. You can join them or convince them to join the brotherhood.
Catawbas: The descendants of the old native tribe from South Carolina, they specialize in the creation of makeshift weaponry to sell to wastelanders. You can convince them to join the rebellion, or you can convince them to join the Brotherhood.
Abolitionists: A militia of borderline terroristic anti-slavers, based on the conquests of the radical abolitionist John Brown. You can join them or eliminate them.
Plot:
South Carolina: 2322. War, war never changes.
The main character is a tribal living southeast of Charleston. The tribe has to pay a toll to local raiders, and it’s left their tribe starving. In the first part of the game, the Tribal, their sibling and their friend are searching for food for their tribe, when they stumble across an old sunken West-Tek storage depot. In it is a prototype suit of power armor called the AX-01, which is a large tank-suit with back missiles and two hand laser rifles, built for ease of use. You learn how to pilot it from a terminal, and you take it back to the tribe; the raiders and their leader are there demanding their payment. You kill the raiders with the power armor, and the tribe is free from their subjugation. Weeks later, 4 Brotherhood of Steel paladins arrive at the village. After the tribals refuse to give up their power armor, the BoS execute everyone in the village and burn it to the ground (including your sibling), seizing the suit and flying away on a vertibird. Only the Tribal remains.
Act 1: The Tribal picks up a broken pip-boy as soon as they leave the town, and they hunt down the paladins North to Charleston, you kill all 4 of them while adventuring across the map. By the end of the first act, the Brotherhood declares you an enemy of the Brotherhood.
Act 2: Due to the deaths of several Paladins and the constant rebellion from the region, a Brotherhood blimp appears. The brotherhood frequency states that if the Tribal visits the ship, they will be absolved of their crimes. The Tribal is also invited to secret meeting of between Carolinians and robots from Magnolia. You also get kidnapped by the Greylocks 2 days after this meeting. From there you can choose between the rebels or the Brotherhood, and do their specific quest lines. For the Greylocks, you have to find parts to build their rockets. Whereas for the other groups you have to find a way into their base.
Act 3: All questlines end in the ultimate battle and raid on the Greylock base. If you side with the Greylocks you repel the attackers. The end of the story is where you fire the missile array at the Brotherhood’s home base and their airship, chasing them out of Dixie. If you side with the Brotherhood you secure the missile array and fire the rockets at the fleeing rebels, crushing their numbers.
Each ending depends on your karma and what side you chose, potentially turning a “good” faction evil or an “evil” faction good.
Your actions have consequences throughout the story, and no character is essential except for potential companions.

Their personality is determined by the player, allowing for better roleplaying opportunities.
Companions:

Companions have specific likes and dislikes, and have different karmas. You can recruit companions outside of your karma if you pass a speech check.

So I have realized that I predominantly have classic eessence. I'm not sure what my other top two essences are but I know that classic is the most dominant.
This means there often has to be alot of balance and simplicity for me to look good. Too much detail tends to make me look more immature and like I'm trying too hard.
This is unfortunate in the sense of I often like having a dressy yet edgy or androgynous style. I am goth and so I have a lot of gothic fashion influence in mind. But often times It looks far too much, and not in the cool way.
I also have to accommodate curve in my body in terms of silhouettes which makes dressing androgynous even more difficult.
Any advice on how to make a dominant classic essence more edgy and androgynous?

This question most likely gets asked quite a lot sorry in advance, however I cannot for the life of me find a straight forward answer.
I am an Australian who has had a lot of issues with interactive brokers (software issues, glitches etc) and am looking for a new broker to use.
My main concern is will there be a PDT rule for under 25,000 USD
Whereas interactive broker did not have one for citizens outside of the US
Wondering if this applies to this broker if not any similar brokers with similar software to IBKR.
Thank you all in advance. Cheers

I've been trying to access the singularity expedition.
When I check the build number, it is the same as the newest version shown on SteamDB, but the in-game patch notes still say interceptor(not sure if they should say singularity or not), and it says that there are no available expeditions.
I am trying to play it on mac, and live on the east coast of the US.
I also tried running the game through Shadow PC, and the expedition does not show up there either, but the expedition does show up when I launch the game on playstation.
I've already reported the bug through Zendesk a few hours ago, but they probably won't send a solution.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times, turned off and on my computers internet access multiple times, restarted my computer and Shadow PC multiple times, deleted all of my save files, restarted steam multiple times, and attempted to use the experimental branch for NMS.
I am also playing vanilla.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do?

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to let everyone know that today will be the last day that you can provide feedback on the semifinalists released by the Syracuse Flag Initiative! Just as a reminder, they are:
The Grain of Glory, by Sophia Jaberi
One of Syracuse's nicknames is ‘Salt City’ because of its salt springs, and the city was a top salt producer in the country for much of the 19th century. If you look at salt under a microscope, it looks like a cube or a square/diamond with a smaller indent in the middle. This shape under a microscope is specifically unique only to salt! Therefore, I used it as inspiration for the shape that is in the middle of the flag. I purposely tilted the square/diamond salt symbol to depict a hill/mountain. This is to represent the Onondaga Nation who are named the ‘People of the Hills.’ The Erie Canal brought major growth and prosperity to the city and represents the blue line that goes across the middle of the flag.
The First Light Flag, by Eric Hart
The First Light flag represents our land, our people, our hopes, and our dreams. The six-pointed star symbolizes the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee and the six historical names by which Syracuse has officially been known. The triangles represent the hills of Onondaga and the Onondaga Valley. The orange color symbolizes the sun and restoration. The azure blue color symbolizes Onondaga Lake and perseverance. The navy-blue color symbolizes the hills of Onondaga and industriousness. The white color symbolizes salt, snow, and peace.
The Unity Flag, by Shane LaChance
The 'Unity' flag design boldly celebrates the City of Syracuse's rich history, central location, and unique character. Its simple yet striking design carries powerful messages of unity, nature, and place. The four inward-facing arrows symbolize Syracuse's historical significance as crossroad for democracy, commerce, and innovation. This flag serves as a unifying symbol for all who call and have called Syracuse home, yesterday, today and for generations to come. So fly it high, Syracusans, and show your pride in being part of the fabric of this one-of-a-kind city.
The Evening Tree, by Ryan Kostusiak
This flag was designed to be not just a flag of Syracuse but one of Central New York. The colors, orange, white, and blue, represent courage, harmony, and freedom respectively and depicts a winter evening sky over Onondaga Lake. The tree represents the Haudenosaunee as well as the future growth of the city. The circular charge intersecting the white line creates the alchemical symbol for salt, one of the most important industries in the city’s history. Finally, the eleven-pointed star stands for New York State, the eleventh state to ratify the Constitution.
If you wanted to check out the designers, and learn more about how and why they constructed their flag, you can check out the AMA we recently did or watch a recording of the Art Store event last week! Otherwise, you can submit your feedback online here or check out if we have any in-person tabling today here. (Only Syracuse residents will be considered!)
Thank you so much for all of your time, interest, and help throughout this project, and I cannot wait to unveil the finalist to you all on Flag Day (June 14th) next week!
Sincerely,
Ike Okereke

I'm trying to buy some books from Gen 1 to read to my nephew, any good places to check? I used to have a bunch from the late 90s but all of them sadly got sold in garage sales over the years (long story).
I've looked on ebay and best I found is like $10 a book. My budget per book is more like $5 a book.
Libraries don't carry the ones I've been looking at.
For instance:
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/4TEAAOSwcixiwOVt/s-l400.jpg
I used to have all the books from that series
I'm also looking for the Kanto/Gen 1 Pokemon encyclopedia where each page would be each of the 151 Pokemon. I'm not sure which one I used to have. It could've been https://images-fe.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71RtGvbjELL._AC_UL600_SR600,600_.jpg Or https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51qm87DTKRL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg
If anyone has/had those, you remember which one was more like the one I was talking about, or if there's a better one from those days?
If it makes a difference, I'm in Canada, so if there's used book stores online people know of that would sell older Pokemon books, let me know.

Why is this gone? Seriously? There was no better satisfaction than being able to auto pilot to location on map in Diablo immortal while you sit back and crack open your Monster energy and munch on some Doritos. Imagine being able to travel like that in this game during feeding windows, bathroom breaks, answering door for food deliveries, etc. Why go MMO light but not include very basic features? Does not help the npcs you need are all scattered across the unjustifiably big towns as well. Bring back simple towns like d3

So I really am not a fan of my portable AC despite it being apparently 18,000BTU.
I have been considering installing a mini-split and want to sanity check my understanding and assumptions.
The unit I am looking at is the Samsung AR35
Wall Unit: AR12TXHQASINEU
Condenser: AR12TXHQASIXEU
Kit: F-AR12ART, $500
Gas: R32
SP 230VAC RMS (regular mains power)
I am competent electrically and have the correct tools for drilling the supports into concrete (SDS bits with adequate diameter), I will get an electrician to validate the wiring in the fuse box. I will be using the correct gauge wire for the current etc… I will measure inrush current after installation to validate. I will not discuss electrics any further unless you have any gotchas.
I know very little about AC installation other than some googling.
So as far as I understand:
I need to install the unit as per the detailed instructions in the installation manual which covers things like how to angle the drain hose and max differences in elevation etc…

1. Plan: Measure distances etc and ensure it matches specs of unit. Plan wire and refrigerant run/route. I have confirmed there are no hazards with the wall I will drill.
   
2. Set up brackets / location for each unit
   
3. Drill hole for refrigerant, signal wire and drain.
   
4. Tape lines. Pass lines so they end in the correct locations.
   
5. Ream while holding downwards and flare the refrigerant lines. Vacuum refrigerant lines.
   
6. Mount units to brackets and connect to lines.
   
7. Connect power, then energise circuit
   

In addition to the AC unit I think I will need to buy: Refrigerant lines x2 with insulation Drainage line Some way of wrapping them all together Reamer Flaring tool
So I have a few questions:
I have experience braising high pressure copper pipes before but I assume none of that is needed.
Maybe I missed it but it wasn’t clear the size (Ø OD and ID) of the refrigerant pipe needed. I understand the unit comes with it’s own nuts that I should use. I know not to bend them as sharp angles.
I read some advice that I will need to run a vacuum pump on the refrigerant line. It’s not clear to me as I don’t have the unit in front of me how I would clear the line and then attach to the unit. I assume I would need to add an additional valve at one end.
I have considered hiring someone to come round with a vacuum pump as I don’t want to buy a one.
I assume the R32 gas in the unit is enough to fill the 10M 33ft loop (5M each way). I have no interest in fooling around with refrigerant gases.
Any tips on flexible refrigerant lines that come with a jacket vs buying purpose made copper pipe and insulation separately?
Thanks!

Hey everyone, I am having a lot of problem with Calculus in university currently. I tried ChatGPT to solve and explain some problems but it failed. I am working with double integrals, graph sketching, sequences and things like that. Is there an AI that can help me? Free would be better but I am open to paid options as well. I am urgent because my exams are coming and I am trying to get things done before I enter them.

Hey there fellow Stony Brook goers, I got an email saying that I need to complete the math placement exam by June 16th, but when I go onto the SOLAR website to sign up for one, all of the available tests are only available in July. What do I do? Will this affect my scheduling in any way? Is there any way to take it prior to June 16th?

Hi everyone!
I decided that I wanted to get a BA. I’m just beginning my research on it and I was wondering is anyone who got it, if they could possibly share their experiences? Things such as size, type, under muscle, over muscle, recovery, any complications?
I’m also open for surgeon recommendations, preferably on the east coast of USA.
Thanks! ❤️

I got a pretty bad black eye a little over a week ago. Pretty soon after I got it, I tried to put some makeup on it and had an allergic reaction. I have a date tonight that I really don't want to go on looking like a panda. While I know that I might have better reactions to different makeup brands, I don't want to take that chance, so makeup is out of the question. What are some good ways for me to look my best tonight?
