IUDs are very safe and effective. I had one for many years, no problems. In my 30 years as a gyn nurse I have only seen a handful of problems, mostly annoying spotting and cramping which usually goes away over time. I saw a couple of pregnancies, one was terminated and the other progressed normally to full term. I’ve…

It is normal to have some random bleeding with a Mirena. However I have to ask, have you had a pregnancy test? If not I’m sure your gyn will do one. There is always a TINY chance of pregnancy with any IUD, and an increased risk of ectopic. Make sure your gyn checks a QHCG, which measures the amount of pregnancy…

I’ve been “tingling” most of my life, but I thought it was just me being weird and I never mentioned it to anyone. I was so happy to learn that ASMR is a thing! I’ll check out the Made In France videos.

I see someone else mentioned watching ASMR videos. Check them out on Youtube. I really like Gentle Whispers Maria, but there a ton of artists out there and you might find that one really connects with you. Also a supplement such as Cortisol Manager can help.

Hi, the symptoms you describe could well have something to do with inflammation, food or environmental allergies, imbalanced gut flora, yeast overgrowth, there are multiple factors that can be contributing to your miseries. I would suggest finding an integrative medicine practitioner to help get to the bottom of…

I feel ya. When it got real floody here last year I FREAKED. I packed up all our belongings ready to flee because the creek next to us came out of it’s banks and over the road. But it settled down. A few months later, more monsoon type happenings so I cancelled all the appointments for the medical office I work at,…

Oh My Lordypants how I’ve missed you. I think we would have been playground friends.

Thank you!

Thanks you!

Thanks!

Yes! I think there’s a lot of Austin Jezzies, that would be a blast!

In Austin too! Loving this reprise from the bullshit heat. I actually got to put on jeans to go out tonight instead of the paper thin handkerchief dress I’ve been living in for weeks.

I used to live in Memphis and had no air-conditioning . One summer it was so hot all the candles in my apartment melted. I took to sleeping in the theater where I worked at night, it was too hot to sleep in my own place.

I got my first performance review at work in over a year. It was really great and I got a big raise!

I’m cracking open a fresh box-o-wine and eating BBQ. Your dish sounds wonderful!

I’m in Austin too, sitting out on the umm, lanai, and it’s dee-lightfuly overcast! Rain in the vicinity, YAY!

I’m reading The Wicked Boy by Kate Summerscale. It’s a true crime account of a boy who murdered his mother in the late 1800's, went to prison and ended up living a pretty interesting life. I highly recommend it.

I went on Plenty Of Fish 6 years ago. After chatting with a few weirdos I met a guy who turned out to be perfect for me. We have been married for 5 years and it’s wonderful. He was the first person I actually met on a dating website so I don’t have any bad date stories. When I went to meet him for the first time, he…

Lordypants, it IS so good! I’m watching one episode every Sunday evening so I can prolong the tension.

I got nothing so far as hand irrigation tips. I host a wee collection of various potted plants that have found refuge in the air conditioning while it’s 100 degrees here in Texas daily. However, I want to thank you for sharing this music. It all stands the test of time. Great stuff.
