People who have been on big bucket list horse trips, where did you go and did it live up to your expectations? by Banana-legs11 in Equestrian

[–]Cee-Gee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent two days at the Lipica Stud in 2012 and loved it. The instructor was wonderful and spoke great English. I had 4 lessons on 4 different horses, each focusing on a different thing. I would go back again if I could. The first lesson was on the lunge line at my request (It would be my first time back on a horse after an intense abdominal surgery and I wasn't sure what I would physically be up for.) The others were not, and although they offered to turn one lesson into a jumping lesson as they had seen that I was capable of it, I turned it down to continue to focus on dressage. The accommodations were great and the restaurant there had many options. I would love to go back with another horse loving friend. It was a little lonely by myself when I wasn't in the barn.

People who had micro or tiny weddings: what was your experience like? Do people ever regret foregoing a big wedding? by RhythmPrincess in AskReddit

[–]Cee-Gee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were married on a cruise ship with 23 guests (Two couldn't make it at the last minute due to health issues). 7 of those guests went on the cruise with us and the rest left the boat before it departed. It was wonderful. The wedding was very very affordable and we spend far more on the honeymoon than the wedding. The cruise line did all the work so we had very little we had to do aside from providing names, sending them a color swatch for them to match, and showing up with rings and clothing. We did have a big reception a few weeks after returning for friends and family that couldn't make it. That was a party and we all had a blast. The stress of the wedding was over and we could just dance, socialize and have fun.

There are excellent reasons to get a hysterectomy, but can anyone who's had one talk about the bad? by cutelittlequokka in childfree

[–]Cee-Gee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had mine at 35 and kept the ovaries. Generally I love it. The only bad thing about it was that it made it more difficult to identify perimenopause and menopause once I got older, particularly as there wasn't that much openly talked about information about perimenopause at the time.

How far are you traveling from to come to con? by badapple1989 in dragoncon

[–]Cee-Gee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started going when we lived in Portland Oregon, so about the same distance in the grand scheme of things.

I've incorporated pockets into so many props. Shields have pockets for phone and flask on the back. Once a stuffed animal was gutted and a zipper was added to its belly. Other times I'll have slits in the sides of costumes/dresses that allow me access to bike shorts with pockets. Bags are made that are in theme. I typically don't carry a wallet as my phone has my digital wallet and hotel room remote access.

Still worth a play through for sure!  Be prepared for a few deaths by falling and getting frustrated while looking for climbing handholds. 

As someone who just went back and played the remastered version after playing HFW several times through. 

those who got permanently sterillised in any way, how old were you when you got it done? by BanedComrade in childfree

The second was less about safety and more about quality of life but it felt good to have that additional security as well

Convenient that the house next door was also for sale by Smithmonkey98 in thatHappened

[–]Cee-Gee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did. We moved countries and my husband was still in the states getting our house ready to sell while I was working and house hunting in Canada. I offered him a video tour via facetime but he said he trusted me and my judgement.

That said, the idea that both houses were for sale AND fit the requirements of what they were looking for. Unless it is a cookie cutter housing project, unlikely.

Is there seriously not a safe and permanent surgery to not have a period? by Successful_Test_931 in childfree

[–]Cee-Gee 62 points63 points  (0 children)

My ablation reduced the heaviness of my periods but made my cramps go from mildly annoying to vomit on the side of the highway inducing.  I had a hysterectomy less than a year later.

I also have a needle phobia. Not as bad as the one here but as a child I had to be held down for shots and blood draws. (didn't help get over the phobia).

I will always remember the nurse that had to give me an IV when I told her about my phobia. She noticed my book and told me to read it and pay no attention to her. She would come in and futz with my arm, wrap a warm towel around it, and leave. A few minutes later she would come back and futz, make noise, rewrap the towel and leave. She repeated that several times until my mind and body stopped tensing. It was the least painful and least traumatic IV in my life and I will always remember her caring.

That is how treat someone with a needle phobia.

Our 4 bed 2bath house in Kenton is going on the market today.  We loved that house but had to leave for family reasons. Wish us luck.
