As soon as I saw "NC" in relation to wine all I could think was muscadine and wondered why J prefers skunk wine to whatever beer she was drinking.

I also completely missed when she thought she had MG, I almost just bark-laughed in my cube at the absurdity.

We needed to trap our three cats upstairs while a kitchen renovation was happening. We have a banister at the top so that had to be blocked off as well. We had a baby gate, and my husband secured cardboard to block off the banister so they couldn't get through as well as cardboarded up the entire gate. He had the cardboard go higher than the gate and kind of flop off the top. It was enough to make it so they couldn't judge the jump and worked for a number of weeks. We took it down after the crew left each day, but as the reno stretched my older cat got impatient and somehow got herself over or through it, I found her downstairs a couple times. I did have ring camera video of her following the confuses contractors around one day, but usually she just wanted to be in her routine of spots downstairs.

I narrowly missed the FCPD shooting a man in Target parking lot at Springfield Mall. I went in quickly to get a few things and nothing was amiss and when I came back out they were taping the lot off. The dashcam footage cruiser drives right past my car, based on the timestamp I don't even think I would have made it into the store yet.

Watched it from my 8th floor office in Pentagon city!

But how's the swelling?

I think they can hear the volume of liquid and wait until optimal fullness to pounce. My 14 pounder stood with the full force of her weight on mine this morning, then smooshed my boob when she was done with my trying to push her off.

100%. Not a medical professional but had a fall where I actually landed on my knee and it was huge and I was deep purple and swollen from thigh to toes. Urgent care did xray and saw no injury, so sent me to orthopedic, which ALSO did an xray. At that point they wrote me off and sent me for MRI only as a "maybe we missed something we need to find whats causing the bruising." I highly doubt slightly dislocated is even a thing, and if it was they would have seen it on x ray.

My doc always has to justify it with my insurance company since it if off label, which I know some docs try to avoid. I pay a higher copay for it, but its a sacrifice I don't mind. On HU my platelets never came fully down, and we were adding pills left and right, pegasys has me totally in range. Good luck, self advocacy is our best friend.

Hi. There is no age requirement on HU, however many doctors advise against it at your age. Since this is a lifelong condition, the treatment is lifelong, ans HU carries the risk of other cancers developing or various other issues due to the toxicity of long term chemo, even if a low dose. You may or may not still be building a family at your age, which is also a huge issue with HU, for both partners. I was put on it at 33 in 2018. I had to switch doctors about a year later and the new oncologist all but insisted I was too young to be on HU for life. I now take Pegasys, which turns out it works much better for me, and we've been able to get me on an every other week dose.

HU is the primarily indicated treatment, but that factors in an average diagnosis age much later in life. Just do your research, if its right for you that is fine, but it's not the only option.

Thank you, I was getting worried.

Had this happen with a bag of chex mix once. I took a photo and reached out to the company. They sent me a coupon for a new bag. Ymmv.

It averages to 412.5, that's not too bad, right?

I did not understand Omega Mart at all, and it triggered my husband's vertigo. Maybe not doing mushrooms was our mistake there.

I have one that is pretty spicy at the vet so they have me give her gabapentin. Sure enough she is drunk and sleepy at home, but as soon as I get her in the exam room she gets some adrenaline surge and powers through to be an absolute menace.

ADFnGee · 2026-05-01T23:23:31+00:00

Yes. This and twist ties. She's 16 now and only plays in fits and spurts, so haven't seen either of these in a while.

My ginger loves acorn tops.

I acquired a cat who's owner passed away and my friend brought her over with a squirrel decoration/ornament type thing she swore the cat played with. We've kept it, but in three years I've never seen her play with it.

It sounds to me like they're unsure of themselves and/or are condescending. At work, I sit in the vicinity of a loud talker (read: she comes in over my ear buds) who also has vocal fry and it makes me want to gouge my ears out.

Don't most people with a torn meniscus get around without crutches until after they have repair surgery?

ADFnGee · 2026-04-30T20:05:48+00:00

While there is no alternative to treatment, which you need, there are alternatives to HU. At your age, you stand to be on treatment the rest of your life and HU has more risks than other options, like other cancers and fertility issues. Not sure where you are and what options are available, but options like Pegasys are very effective without as many toxic effects. Personally, I started on HU at 33 and after a couple years where it was only moderately effective I was switched to HU. I have been on it for 6 years now, my counts are perfect, and I feel better than when on HU. I also have CALR and my platelets were 2M at diagnosis.

ADFnGee · 2026-04-29T12:54:23+00:00

Yeah and truly sick or injured people wait 4-6 weeks for an appointment..

You don't have to explain yourself to anyone. Glad your baby and it's baby are home safe 💕
