    Just a Pinch.. Post for the women here

    Thank you so much, I have joined some Facebook pages, and by far it seems like people’s experiences with a hysterectomy were far better and more successful long term than ablation. I do understand that an ablation will work for many, but I have now read hundreds and hundreds of posts of women...

    Just a Pinch.. Post for the women here

    I totally understand, and as someone also going through the same thing you are, please research endometrial ablation failure. Not saying you shouldn’t do it, but I was shocked when I found out how widespread the complications are. Everyone I know who had it done regretted it. I just went for a...

    How are teens doing in schools with no mask mandates

    I do not want debating right or wrong, I am just looking for non-emotional answers to this question, as a parent who doesn’t know what to expect going forward. My vaccinated teens have been in a school requiring everyone to mask and quarantine with exposure, as of tomorrow their school is...

    South Dakota Teacher “Dash for Cash”

    exactly, it’s the whole image of them being on their hands and knees that is so cringe-worthy, and I agree with you that it strikes a similar nerve as picturing homeless people having to crawl on the floor for food or money. It’s wonderful they they wanted to help teachers, but how hard would it...

    Super Vaccine!

    now I will not disagree with you at all that eating right and getting sleep and exercise are so important! But I have to say that I have had a first hand glimpse at nature vs nurture in my house and I believe genetics also strongly influence our responses to illness. I have two kids who are...

    Crazy good Amazing Off the Charts Pecan Pie Recipe

    I may have to try this! Although we have recently discovered a cafe that sells bourbon pecan pie, and wow is that good. I will probably just keep on ordering a slice of that every now and then, because no one else in my family eats pecan pie, and I’d eat way too much of it if I made a whole pie...

    2021 2022 influenza season

    I’m glad we all got the flu shot early too! My cousin had the flu several weeks ago and the doctor said it was the first case he’d seen this season, I’ve since heard of lots of college kids resting positive with flu too

    Rakuten and Be Frugal

    I had to open this thread because I thought you were giving some sort of blessing, like "Go, Be Fruitful and Multiply". "Rakuten and Be Frugal" has a nice ring to it, I might just give it out as a holiday greeting this year to throw people off

    Saddest Movie Endings

    oh my gosh, yes. My daughter’s and I were a sobbing mess on the couch. “Where the Red Fern Grows” is another for me. Mostly the book but the movie had the same effect. I think there needs to be some sort of warning with any movies about dogs that don’t end happily In the non-dog sad movie...

    Popular breakfasts you dislike

    we had a fabulous western style breakfast at one of the hotels we stayed at too, it was awesome. I loved the lack of tipping, I wish we could adopt that here in the US, and of course raise the salaries of restaurant staff accordingly

    Popular breakfasts you dislike

    When we traveled to Ireland, I loved the dinners we had there, but I did not enjoy the traditional Irish breakfasts. When we traveled to China, I missed being able to have cereal after the first week. For breakfasts at home, I rotate between cereal, oatmeal, cream of wheat, and on the weekends...

    How do you decompress? Sorry long rant!

    That is a lot to deal with! Can you wear noise cancelling headphones for at least part of the day? My daughter has started using them while doing homework and says it helps so much, to cancel out the noise of our house when the dogs are barking, people are talking, and all of that. I have found...

    College Move in day - Public vs Private school or Big vs Small school

    That sounds so stressful! I have heard similar form other parents with kids at large universities. Our oldest just moved into his dorm this past weekend, small/medium sized college in a suburb. It was VERY smooth. We arrived 20 minutes before our scheduled move in time, but they let us pull...

    Yep, college will be a bit different this year!

    That’s so great, very happy for your daughter!! I totally understand, our son was also a 2020 high school grad. He stayed home for his freshman year of college and did all his classes remotely.We moved him into college this weekend and so far he is loving it! Will have his first on campus...

    Is your county's school reopening a mess like mine?

    thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’m very happy to hear your husband didn’t get too terribly sick and the rest of you have remained negative for covid too. That’s a good idea to stock up on the tests, with everyone back at school and work now. Stay well!

    Is your county's school reopening a mess like mine?

    oh no! That stinks that your husband got it even while vaccinated, this is what scares me for our vaccinated family too. Do you feel comfortable sharing how bad his symptoms are? Praying it's very mild and you all stay healthy

    I might try a white noise app to help cover up DH’s snoring

    deleted, woke up and the tinnitus was gone, thank goodness! I have new empathy for those who have it though, that was maddening to hear the buzzing all day long. Guess I'll be looking for some other way to sleep through my husband's snoring, as I'm pretty sure it was the ear plugs that caused...
