Ams to ord flights

Hey everyone-
I want to preface this with I do have an appt with my doctor, but it’s in 2 weeks. Came here to find out some basic answers as my doctor’s office is closed for the weekend and wanted first hand experience.
I suspect I might have ovarian torsion. Symptoms are: bloating, pain, constipation, cramping, nausea, vomiting and just feeling gross. Today I also had an ultrasound on my kidneys and bladder and they found a 6 cm cyst on my ovary.
In talking with a friend who has a daughter (8 years old), she said that I couldn’t have it as I’d be double over in pain and I wouldn’t be able to tolerate it, as her daughter has had it and had surgery for it not long ago.
I’m 6 months post op and have endometriosis, adenomyosis and PCOS. I’m not the best person to talk about extreme pain, since I’ve lived with it for so long.
My question is if you have lived with chronic pain, and you had confirmed ovarian torsion, what did the pain feel like?
Prior to the past 3-4 weeks I was feeling great.
I’ve messaged the doctor (they’re gone for the weekend), but am wondering if I should go to the ER.
Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks!

I am running TrueNAS Scale and TrueNAS core on two separate servers and I need to mount an SMB share from the TrueNAS core install onto the TrueNAS Scale server. This is because I am running a Plex container on TrueNAS scale and some of my movies reside on TrueNAS core. I am concerned that installing CIFS or whatever else might possibly work would break the shares on my TrueNAS Scale server. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I was hired by an hvac company to start, build and run a plumbing department. I have only been plumbing for about 9 years and am a rising name in my area so I thought " Awesome! A chance to train and raise plumbers to my standard!". I love teaching and I love plumbing so this was a win win for me. When I started, the initial plan was to focus on water heaters since our state passed a law saying hvac companies couldn't do it anymore. So I was given a van and stocked it for water heaters, sure I didn't have room to store some on the van but I wasn't concerned. I started this Department by myself and eventually hired an apprentice. I then hired another plumber and gave him the van to work out of.
It's been seven months since I started this department, and in that time I've been crushing it... here's the rub though. When I hired my plumber in January they told me I'd have another vehicle by the end of the month, they gave me a shipping container for parts storage and were so happy with where I was going... it's now the end of March and I still don't have my new truck, my storage space is wildly inadequate for the amount of work I'm doing, the sales team all but refuses to sell water heaters, I have no access to any kind of recruitment software the company uses, the sales manager and owners have been making sales deals like up to $1500 off a water heater install without consulting me, and there is virtually ZERO advertising for my plumbing department. I've been begging for months to get things in order and doing everything I can to get our department on the radar and instead of helping me they just seem to ignore my department and our electricians. We are basically in house labor for what they consider small shit.
Today was the worst day yet, they announced a huge advertising campaign and even hired a pro football player to do our advertisement, so of course I was stoked. I listened to the ad... not one mention of plumbing services and the only mention of electrical was that it's in the company name...I threw my headphones down without saying a word, clocked off, and fuckin left.
I'm losing my mind because I want nothing more than to do my job AND be a part of the team... yet we get absolutely fuckin squat in terms of support. I'm so fucking fed up that my rage and anger is about to make me just weep in sheer frustration.
Thanks for listening.

Original Post: March 18, 2023
I (30f) am estranged from my twin (also 30f) because she objects to my working as a camgirl, and even though I have never done anything inappropriate (I'm very unassuming I look like a girl next door so people won't know unless I tell them) around her kids (12m, 9f, 5m) because of my job, citing I'd be a "bad influence" even though I would've completely kept my mouth shut about my job. It hurt that I was denied a relationship with my niblings but there was nothing I could do.
Anyway she's a single mom, the youngest has cancer (his father is not in the picture although he pays child support it's very little because he doesn't make much), and the bills have gone through the roof now her landlord is threatening to begin the eviction process as she's very behind on her rent and other bills.
She contacted me after not speaking to me for years and begged me to borrow money, I said "you do realize this money would come from my camming job right? The one you estranged with me over and wouldn't let me have a relationship with your kids?" She said "I know and I don't need this right now in desperate and need help, he's your nephew!" (Our parents are living on social security and cannot afford to financially help, but they do babysit the two older ones frequently.My husband and I do well financially so we could afford it)
I told her "you disowned me as your sister, and since you're not my sister he can't be my nephew. Disowning your family is a permanent decision, and I wouldn't want you having money from a sinful source as you put it."
AITA?
INFO/UPDATE: We are fraternal twins not identical, while we bear some resemblance (much like how someone resembles a aunt/uncle, cousin, parents, or sibling who's not a twin) to each other we are very easily able to be told apart from one another

Update (Same Post): March 20, 2023 (2 days later)
Thanks everyone for the feedback.
After careful thought and consideration; I have decided to pay the medical bills and rent as a gift with no expectation of repayment (directly to hospital and landlord) BUT because I do have a petty side (just being honest) and didn't want my sister getting away with her behavior, I made a post on her churches Facebook group and attached screenshots of texts disowning me years ago (I saved them) because of my work; and screenshots of her wanting money from my work now that shes in this situation.
"Hi everyone: I am (hypocrites) former sister(she disowned me). You may or may not have heard about me, I was exiled from my sister's and her kids lives for being a camgirl despite never having breathed a word about my work around her kids nor behaved inappropriately in any way.
After careful thought and consideration due to the way I've been treated and how my sister feels about my "sinful" money but then wanting to borrow it for her son's health bills and rent, I've decided to give it as a gift without any expectation of repayment. Even a wicked woman like myself did not wish to see an innocent child suffer when I could do something to help.
But being that my sister is so repulsed by where my money comes from I'm giving you all the opportunity to save her from having to use "dirty money"; you may DM me for my cash app, Venmo or zelle information to repay the bills I gifted. While I am not expecting this to happen as I can afford what I gave, I just think you should all have the opportunity to put your money where your mouths are. And to perhaps be welcoming to those in the adult industry in your church (and no, not making it conditional upon them quitting), you sin just as they do, their "sins" are just more visible. Without my job the financial assistance would not have been possible as I assume I was her last resort as none of you "righteous" folks were in a position to help; that being said I guess someone had to volunteer to "sin," and that volunteer was me. Without nerdowells like myself your righteousness would not be sustainable, as the undesirables are doing the dirty work for you so you don't have to.
Jesus was kind to sex workers; he welcomed them with open arms unconditionally and preferred their and others considered "undesirable a" company to the pious/"righteous" religious folks and leaders. He even told a priest that prostitutes would go to heaven ahead of him (using a biblical quote that one of the commenters here recommended, thank you) check out Matthew 21:31, your church likely did not teach you about that quote; and now you know.
You're welcome
Sincerely,
The loose wayward woman"

UPDATE PART 2: Whomever runs the Facebook page took down my post and blocked me from posting (although I can still see the page, so it's just a ban from posting), no one had the balls to say anything to my face
Hypocrites, I'm sure Jesus is real impressed 🙄
Marked as ongoing since there may be more reactions, or we may hear more about the nephew.

I tried to calling my aunt and she spent the entire conversation trying to fix my migraines. It made me feel like she thinks I have all these migraines because I'm not trying hard enough to get better. It makes me feel bad that I'm not doing anything with my life. It makes me feel bad that none of the treatments I've tried have "cured" me yet. It makes me feel bad that the treatments that are helping some are taking a while to be affective. How do I stomach staying in touch with people when all I have to say about me and my life is that I'm spending most of my time bed ridden and in pain? I don't have anything new to report, just bed ridden and in pain-- still. But she saw some advertisement for a new drug and haven't I tried it yet? I don't have any good news. I don't have any new news. I don't want to bring others down with how horrible I feel, but goodness it's so isolating and depressing. I wish I could have people in my life because the loneliness is it's own kind of pain, but I can't seem to get myself to reach out to anyone. I am a person who needs community. How can I make plans with anyone when I can't get a break from these migraines? I feel so frozen and stuck inside. Tonight I managed to get myself to try calling my aunt.

On Wednesday I successfully defended my Master's thesis, which has basically been the focus of my life for the last approximately 3 years. At first I was super excited, and then I was tired but still happy, but now I just feel empty. I was not expecting this.
I'm not even done with my thesis yet: I still need to make revisions and submit the final document to the university. Afterwards, my director wants me to split my thesis into 2 separate papers and submit modified versions of them for publication in a scientific journal - something that I am very excited to do. In the fall I will be starting my PhD in the same program at the same university, so my life won't change that much; this summer will basically just be another summer break. And yet, it feels like it is completely changing. Unless a miracle happens, I will have to change my lab and my research topic.
I don't want to leave my current lab. I love it, their research focus basically combines my undergraduate studies (conservation biology) with my graduate studies (genetics), everyone is so nice and understanding, and I just feel like I belong there - a feeling that I never had around peers during my non-university years (I was the different kid who was always bullied). I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a new lab that fits me and that I fit into. I was in discussions with another lab for about a year, but it didn't work out due to funding issues. There is a third lab that has grabbed my interest, but I haven't reached out yet because I'm so afraid that it won't work out - and then what? Plus, I'm still holding out a little bit of hope that I can stay in my current lab, and I don't want to blow that chance if it has even a slight possibility.
I don't want to change my research topic: wolves. Now I understand that I should not be focused on specific species and that I should focus on broader biological processes instead. Yet no matter how many times I am reminded of this, I cannot shake the down feeling I get whenever I think about doing my PhD dissertation on something other than wolves. I did my high school senior thesis, my undergraduate honors thesis, and my Master's thesis on wolves, so doing my PhD dissertation on something else just would not feel right. Doesn't help that wolves have been my hyperfixation for over a decade, with no signs of that changing anytime soon. My director reassured me that I will still be known for wolves due to my Master's thesis, but I don't want it to be a one-and-done deal; I don't want to lose my chances of a career studying them because I did not do my PhD dissertation about them. Not to mention that I still have unanswered questions that were prompted by my thesis results. I'm afraid that I just won't be able to keep my interest in a different topic (unless I'm lucky enough to get a project with another favorite animal).
I though I had previously come to terms with changing my lab and my research topic, but now it has hit me like a truck. I've heard that post-defense blues is a common thing, is that what I'm dealing with here? If so, how do I cope with it? My counselor suggested that I focus on the positives of the situation, but when I do I come to the conclusion that the benefits do not outweigh the costs. Maybe I just need a break so I can later look at this with a clear mind?

My best friend (22F) of three years blocked me (24M). It was totally my fault for her doing so and I accepted it. I was acting like an insecure bastard after being in a low place for a while and my excessive insecurity became to much for her to deal with especially after I stupidly asked if she hated me after she had stood by me for 3 years.
Its been almost 8 months now and I've found out that she had unblocked me a month or two ago through a mutual friend. I want to reach out, apologize, thank her for all she did and hopefully reconnect with her but I'm worried now that so much time has passed, she'll just say doesn't want to be friends anymore and reject me. She was one of my closest friends ever and while I don't think I was as close of a friend to her as she was to me, at one point we were both close friends with each other. Should I try and reconnect or should I just accept that she probably wants nothing to do with me now that so much time has passed?
Tldr : My former best friend blocked me a while ago and now after finding out I am no longer blocked I want to attempt to reconnect? Should I try to or am I doomed fail?

I would never talk to kids about my personal life. Most of these kids can’t read and or do math etc but I subbed at a school this week for 5th and 6th. And they kept asking my questions like ?
“Are you a fruit ? “ Or saying “You’re gay”
I am enthusiastic. I have done theatre. My voice is not overtly femme but I guess I have stereotypical “gay voice”. Anyways I am not in anyway ashamed of who I am. But I just want to go to work. Teach. Bring about good positive energy. And help them learn and grow.
I just hate feeling like in todays society I am being placed into a box. Idk it just makes me sad that people can’t see me for more than my voice or mannerism that I feel like are just me. Maybe subconsciously it’s bringing me back to a time where I was made fun of for my voice or something IDK. But for some reason it really bothered me this week.

I was in LA today and drive through Skid Row, thinking maybe I’d spot the studio. I wasn’t keen on asking anyone as I didn’t want to invite any undue attention. I wonder if anyone has an idea how to get an interview and where the studio is actually situated?
I am a formerly homeless meth addict who’d like to add to Mark’s collection of redemption stories, stories of people who made it out. I’m a drug counselor now and I’d love to share my story!!!
I wrote him a brief email last year, but figured I might just make a short video to get his attention

I've previously asked whether the loyalty of party leader is important or not. So I've tested a few months in-game, and their loyalty doesn't seem to affect party approval or loyalty of other party members. Even befriending (make friend interaction) or rivaling party leaders doesn't seem to affect party approval.
So, I'm guessing maybe the loyalty of party leaders means absolutely nothing. Is this true? Or am I missing something because I'm playing vanilla game?

Hello
I am very green at pinning but have become very interested after hearing a talk about it at a talk at my local university. I have been eating up videos and museum write ups available to the general public. I have everything I need to start but I have a couple questions.
If I find a moth or butterfly I’m interested in preserving, I put it in a kill jar, what is the ideal way to transport it until I am able to pin it? I’m concerned about damaging it until I return home from my hike or from sea.
Secondly.. well the first question answers the second one really. I find a dead moth or butterfly what is the ideal way to protect and transport it until I get home?
Thank you for your time!

I had some bleeding today morning had a cervical check 3 days ago. I still called my OB’s office and they told me to go to labor n delivery. At LnD they measured babies heart rate and checked if I was having contractions which I wasn’t. The on call OB also ordered an ultrasound and in that they mentioned that the baby’s AC was measuring 35 weeks and femur 33 weeks but I am currently 38w 5d. Placental flow and amniotic fluid were all normal.
At 30w 2D I had a growth scan in which everything was perfect all measurements including AC, HC and femur length were 30w +/- 2 days.
I met with the OB who was covering for my OB she said that this doesn’t add up. They also said the ultrasound technician was having some difficulty measuring. Whereas the scan that I had at 30w 2D was with perinatal center with specialized mfm.
I am literally freaking out I have to go again 2mrw for non stress test to LnD and possibly another ultrasound.
Can someone please advice if they have been through something like this.

I was in a relationship for 7 years and 7 years is just a number, no matter how people react to it. It just doesn’t feel that long. Reason we broke up was cause of religion she was not ready to accept me for who I am and I was not ready to change who I was, not that I didn’t try I did.
While breaking up she made it very clear that I was the reason to mess up 2 years of her life because I was depressed. I know for a fact that this is true but I didn’t try leaving her during those 2 years because I didn’t want her to get caught up with my problems as well because she didn’t deserve to go through it cause of me.
Fast forward to the break up day was I guess I had forgotten about my past ( not that I made peace with it but I forgot about it). When she pointed out this it broke me way too much, I thought she stayed because she wanted to but this just made me feel like shit.
But I’m feeling guilty presently because I started dating again and I’m looking at people and not just for a hookup but to make a relationship out of it. So yeah I’m in a very messed up situation I guess but I’m not used to being alone. As much as it’s what I deserve I’m not comfortable because I know I would do anything to take care of someone I love.
So yeah thought?

WELL GUESS WHAT? THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. When the live stream started, it was doing a HUGE Countdown like the fucking ball was about to drop on new year. Once it got to zero, my heart dropped. I was so excited, all this for... Memes, LOTS AND LOTS OF Memes. I was pissed and wanted noting to do with the mod, and I was tired. I actually had a feeling this was gonna be a prank btw they said it was coming out like tomorrow (Two days ago) for us to be hyped, so then they moved it to April First, like if it wasn't too obvious. But I wanted to see this stream, just to See what would happen. Cause I mean, it was official and all so I checked, and got fooled. Screw you River (youtuber who streamed it, also one of the mod developers). I honestly don't know what to say, other that i am mad as hell, but yeah ima rest.😣

I won’t go into detail on what I did, I can’t handle anyone else knowing. I genuinely regret doing it and it has been haunting me for years. I haven’t done anything like it in years but I still feel like I’m irredeemable.
My intrusive thoughts make it worse too. It makes me think about doing it again even though I would never ever in a million years do something like that again. But even though I am aware you can’t control intrusive thoughts it still makes me feel like a bad person for having them.
Like I said it was years ago when I was like 9 or something. I was told that it was okay to do by other people online. But that doesn’t excuse my actions in the slightest. Even if I wasn’t aware of it being bad. Once I found out that it wasn’t okay I immediately stopped.
I really just want to forget it ever happened at all. I am reminded of it almost daily. I want it to end already. Am I bad forever?

My plan is to eventually get well enough to return to work. I just needed the TDIU to get me through a bit until I get my shit together. So for the next year or so I’ll be doing my VA therapy and other crap.
But what do you all do with all of your free time? I’m 44. Too damn young to retire. Wtf am I supposed to do with all my free time?
I volunteer at a dog shelter a few times a month, but there is still soooo much time left.

so i’m an age a little under 13 (13-2) and i am in middle school and i play for the basketball team and another boy kinda slapped my head and i slapped him in the face. And after that we started fighting and my dad later on told me that his father ( the kid that slapped me ) wanted to fight my father am i in the wrong
