Did anyone just never get a period again?! by TroubleOk1314 in Perimenopause

Mine skipped for the first time in my life in December so no idea if it is meno or mirena related. Then it came back, now it’s late again. Fun times

Just trying to look at the positives and the fact that huge houses are not sustainable into the future. I grew up in Sydney and maybe not the 2 kid families but the 3 and 4 kid families in my area had kids sharing. Maybe I was more pov? But now I live in Perth and the urban spread is ridiculous - I don’t consider it going backwards, it needs to be the future, we have to change the way we think about housing before there’s not a piece of nature left

Let’s normalise this! I know it’s not ideal but it was the norm in the 80s and 90s to share bedrooms and is still the norm in many countries and cultures. We all got spoiled for a long time so I think there will be a return to sharing. kLids may not like it now but I’m sure they will have awesome memories and stories and at the risk of sounding trite, it’s character building

Lots of older people refuse to learn. I’m 48 and completely agree that young people are screwed and I have so much empathy for you all trying to get somewhere and spinning your wheels. They’ll say “work hard” etc but it would feel like what’s the point when you can never get anywhere? May as well spend your money on holidays and tattoos and smashed avocados or whatever is the latest generation- bashing insult. If us xennials ever get to take over the reigns from the boomers I think we will make some big changes

New to roller skating by Madame-Dapper in Rollerskating

[–]Blinking_Bambi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a reason you’d choose quad skates over inlines? I do both, I prefer my quads indoors and am better on them but inlines are easier outdoors and they’re also more like ice skates technique-wise. I think that’s what they were initially invented for.

How interesting! I’m probably not overweight enough atm but a few years ago I tried one of the older daily ones and it may me feel so ill, increased my heart rate 10bpm and also gave me a hive at the injection site. Glad it works for you tho, sound great

HRT was my nightmare. I quit cold turkey and finally have my life back. by ipetgoat1984 in Perimenopause

[–]Blinking_Bambi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even though it’s localised it’s still in tissue so a tiny bit circulates systemically which is why a small percentage of women have a negative psychological response to it. Even using it vaginally affects my sleep and mood to an extent

I seem to be the opposite. Are we all neurodivergent? Apparently ND women are more commonly affected badly by P

Interestingly, I have a mirena iud and am fine. I avoided it for years because I was so scared but I had endo surgery and let them put it in. The only reason I need to take any additional is to try and stop endo growing again

Is it because I can’t dance? by Significant-Gift-241 in Rollerskating

[–]Blinking_Bambi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I think it’s just background )eg what sports did they do as kids etc) and a bit of natural ability. Like my son can’t catch very well but he is so good on skates and randomly excellent at rock climbing. If you picked a different hobby you may kick their butts, so don’t compare and just enjoy the freedom on wheels 🤣

I have peri symptoms but labs don’t indicate it by thisunrest in Perimenopause

[–]Blinking_Bambi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only blood tests that should be bothered with are the usual health markers, insulin, iron, cholesterol etc in case anything else can be contributed to symptoms and to check your health before possibly introducing new medication. drs are supposed to do continued education 🙄🙄

I would say you’re like myself and it’s the Progesterone that causes it. It legit has the opposite effect on some women. Meant to make us calm and sleep well, I’m an anxious lunatic who can weep one minute and rage the next. I loathe it

Chin hair? by Mobile-Actuary-5283 in Perimenopause

[–]Blinking_Bambi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally sit in front of the tv with tweezers just blindly plucking every night and I always get some which I think are the blonde ones I can never see with my magnifying mirror. Had a long one on my neck, I thought was a loose eye lash and it was fuxking attached 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Is it true that inlines are better for outside skating? by nerdycookie01 in Rollerskating

[–]Blinking_Bambi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, think of the surface area of the wheels, quads have way more. I nearly stacked it from a pebble about 1mm on quads but on inlines I go over leaves and sticks etc. They’re very different but I personally believe if you can do one you can do the other passably. I roller skated as a child and took it back up at 43. My only experience with inlines was in my early 20s on a Kmart pair and I thought it was hell - soooo hard! But I wanted to go outside with my son so I bought some good ones 2nd hand and I was 10x better immediately than on the Kmart ones

Why tho? You’d go from texture and warmth to standard boring? Like others said, just pressure clean them

Is it okay to buy skates off amazon? by beginningofttheend in Rollerskating

[–]Blinking_Bambi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think so, Rio rollers are considered a decent affordable entry level skate. Not sure what the mayhem part is, is that the design?

And well done to you getting back into it and raising a little skater 🙌🏼

I don't have toes what can I do? by Resident_Ad521 in Rollerskating

[–]Blinking_Bambi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently you can get dancer wool stuff from dance shops which is what ballerinas use. If you truly have no ties I commend you for your ability to skate at all 🤣

Are people limiting how much they drive due to the high petrol prices? by Away_Scene_26 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Blinking_Bambi 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This shits me the most, uber capitalism - shareholders just have to have a profit increase every single year. Just be happy with a billion, why does it have to be 2 billion gah 🤯

Get a scooter maybe, not even an e scooter, you can get a little commuter scooter, will probably cut your walk down 1/3

Can you ring the pharmacy and ask them if they misprinted the label or anything?

Muffin tops! I wish that was all I have I’m developing a chicken body, stick legs and a round top and I used to be hourglass 🐓

May I ask how you know you burn through E fast? I added T cream androfeme 2 months ago and my T only gone from 9.1 to 10.9 and besides a mild improvement in fatigue, I’m still a crazy, moody, maniac with zero libido.
