  • Yellow 5 is super common (in the US) for things that go inside our bodies. Doritos, Mt Dew, probably Red Bull. When we were kids there was a rumor that it would shrink your dick haha.

    Read the ingredients on stuff the next few days and take note of how often you see it. It’s probably why they chose it as one of the test substances. It’s relatively safe to eat.

    What is unknown is how dangerous it is to absorb large amounts into someone’s skin.

    It’s like the illegal weed vape pen issue years ago. People would cut the product with vitamin e to thicken it and also make more money. Vitamin E is safe for human consumption. Turns out its vapor is terrible for lungs. It’s quite unsafe for that kind of consumption.







  • If you can’t get pain meds I’d try Kratom.

    Start with a low dose and work your way up. If you take too much you will puke which would be awful in your current condition.

    Take the right dose and it will significantly relieve the pain. I slowly took increased doses until they started to make me feel a little woozy or get cold sweats. Then I knew my personal dose is a little less than that.

    I can’t stress enough though - take less at first and try a little more each time.

    Either eat food with it every time or take on an empty stomach every time, but don’t go back and forth unless you know your proper personal dose with and without food. It matters a lot with Kratom.

    All that said, do it right and it will bring more relief than anything else I’ve been able to legally acquire. Absolutely do not allow yourself to take it every day once the pain is manageable. Plenty of people do… But don’t do that.

    Good luck. No matter what - this is only temporary. You will get through it.






  • Old Millennial.

    I grew up without cell phones or Internet until my teen years. Remember watching the OJ trial whenever I was home sick from school.

    We were really worried about Y2K, which would have been a disaster if not fixed ahead of time.

    Had to work on 9/11, and remember what airports were like before all the added security.

    Also had to work - pushing groceries to people’s cars while the VA sniper was rolling around the area shooting people in parking lots.

    I remember people smoking cigarettes fucking everywhere. There were cigarette vending machines.

    Our 2 and 3 liter bottles had an extra plastic piece to make the bottom flat. I don’t think they were making them with feet like they do today. The bottoms were round, requiring a plastic shoe to create a flat bottom. Sometimes the bottles had a metal cap.

    Hardly anybody wore seatbelts. Gas was under $1/gallon when I started driving.
