You're not supposed to agree! That was a trap! Don't you know where we are?!

High fives are really scary

You play a dangerous game. This is getting mighty close to moderately interesting.

I'm an architect, so its primarily a desk job with some site work.
University was just particularly brutal. They took pleasure in breaking us. I think I saw everyone cry at least once.
0/10 would recommend.

That sounds awful! Im lucky enough to not work as much as I used to, so I am not stuck in one place as long. Hopefully the same for you.
I’ve been looking at a lot of pillows! The tempur contour pillow seems worth the price, and it’s better than the weird one I picked lmao. I need to use my prescription more as well…
Thank you though! The next time I see my doctor, if I am still in the need, I will ask him about it. My PT had 20 yrs under their belt, but I totally get your sentiment.

Its likely not in your head, when I sat for hours at a drawing board in university it wasn't fun. I remember one night I just sort of toppled sideways because I was too stiff to move when I was done and just stayed like that for a while.
A good anti-inflammatory + a good pillow does wonders!
I'd recommend seeing a biokineticist. They're cheaper than you'd expect (at least here they are anyway). I started with mine from the sports-science dept at university. I think I was part of her thesis.
A large gym or physio practice might have one or two.
They develop a workout plan for you and walk you through it. You only go back every 8 weeks or so to adjust the plan as you get stronger. They typically have a masters degree, so they are way better than some guy who did a 2 week course to be a trainer.
Dancing or Yoga is a great start!

so that black bar at the top definitely isn't hiding the fact that you just pulled the tube up?

I've seen demonstrations of people dunking things into fluid with the same IOR before, but showing the same effect by using an eyedropper like this makes it look way more interesting.
You could probably make some pretty cool stuff with this effect, like a snowglobe with figures that will randomly "disappear", or a clock made out of air bubbles inside of a thin tank.

Thank you for sharing your story! I hope your body is treating you well - you certainly do your part. It’s super cool to meet someone with so much in common, down to the rice krispy neck haha (Im not diagnosed with spina bifida occulta though). I remember swearing up and down that my waist curved differently on each side - welp.
I especially appreciate the recommendations: I was only diagnosed months ago after losing weight. Due to my poor lifestyle/rapid weight loss, all of my muscles are incredibly weak. My arms shake when I take out a damn garbage bag! Aside from PT and osteopathic manipulation, I haven’t learnt or done a lot for myself. Yet!
My pain has gotten better with daily exercise and stretching whenever I get the chance. I’m working on tolerance as well though - I feel constant pain but it’s likely in my head. My job requires me to look down all the time (despite my work-arounds) so I have to learn to be okay with it anyway!
I might look into ballet! I’ve been wanting to challenge myself and move into something new. I will definitely have to find some brains to pick myself, PT was waaay too expensive for me. Again, thank you so much!!

Insert a joke about me filling up your mum and her being invisible to me after I’m done but written more witty.

It probably depends on the brand!
I always get Bon Matin bread (huge variety, whole ingredients, excellent nutritional profile - personal favourite is the Protein one) and they switched to cardboard bag ties some years ago - more reasons to like them!

Those are both really cool creative ideas! You should be some kinda inventor.
