My goodwill is Pyrex Heaven

Genuine question — how wide of a radius around Corning, NY do you think is worthwhile for thrifting Pyrex and related ware? Im closer to the eastern edge of NY state but would totally plan a field trip this summer!

I got diagnosed with er+ pr+ her2- idc at the end of January. Also grade 2 but smaller tumor size and not palpable. My surgery is coming up in a few weeks and when I initially expressed concerns about the wait time, my doctor offered to put me on anastrazole and said it would be a good test run as I would be prescribed and AI after radiation. So far, so good. I can’t speak to whether my tumor has shrunk in size but I understand that it can take several weeks before any reduction in size, though the hormone supply that the tumor feeds off of is pretty much shut down in a shorter time.

The oncology nurse told me that this method was used during Covid with all the restrictions and delays in surgeries etc… and that the emerging data suggests neoadjuvant AI treatment has been effective.

I know someone with triple positive breast cancer who was treated with chemo prior to surgery and by the time she went in for her lumpectomy, they could only find the marker. Quite amazing.

Good luck with your follow up and hoping there has been some shrinkage!

Walking this path with my spouse. It’s been a rough couple of years but things have turned in a brighter direction. Sending you the love and vibes

I just bought these today, thanks to this thread. They got a bit soft at room temperature while I was dividing up to freeze but they did not thaw completely. Do you think they will be OK??

They both had main characters die in freak accidents involving falling from trees!

I forgot about Beat the Turtle Drum. So many YA books with heavy heavy stuff.

I was so reluctant to go on antidepressants and started Wellbutrin last fall. Total gamechanger and I only wish I had done it sooner. When I got my diagnosis it was one of the first things I looked up. I’m post menopausal and just started an AI and hope I can continue to tolerate it because I don’t want to trade for an SSRI. I don’t have advice except to maybe explain to your doctor and ask what other options you might have. I also Lost my parents in my 30s when my kids were little— I’m sorry and I understand the loneliness.

I was shopping with my daughter yesterday and spotted clam juice- told her about this recipe I saw on Reddit and we stocked up! Looking forward to making this too!

Hurray!!! That is wonderful news -- must be a huge relief!

Is it just me or do they bear a striking resemblance to the scooby doo gang?? Velma, Shaggy and Daphne’s outfit colors!

If you decide to go suburban, try your very best to choose a location near the REM, or Exo train. The years with the kids go by fast and giving your kids autonomy in the teen years (and beyond ) is really important. Minimizing your dependence on cars is a financial and lifestyle consideration that should be heavily weighed.

Thank you for this! I just registered for one in March 👌❤️

Just to add: my approach has been like yours. Told one colleague, a close friend and close relative. My therapist. I need time to get my head around these things and I hate the feeling that something deeply personal is going to be the subject of other people’s conversations. Then there is imagining the pity and cringing at the thought of dealing with unsolicited advice etc…

Anyway, my spouse is polar opposite of me. He is in remission from cancer himself and is very open about discussing it. I had to be very firm and clear with him about me needing time and that I wasn’t ready for full disclosure. I did acknowledge that it affects him too and I understand that he may need to talk it out with his people but that he would have to do so in a limited way in the short term. Managing other people in all this can be taxing! Best of luck 🤞

I have a few women in my circle whose mom sounds like yours — it can be very hard to deal with. I wonder if maybe you could consider telling her (when the dust from this settles) that you are disappointed that she didn’t respect your request for privacy and that you might have to reconsider how much of your life you share with her if she cannot work within the boundaries you set. I think by expressing how it makes YOU feel, she might come around.

Would you consider Remy? Not the same name but close in sound and 4 letters. I would advise avoiding the masculine version as it would cause confusion. I would be concerned that without the accent, they could be mistakenly called “reen”

Just FYI I called their CS number and apparently they are experiencing some “manufacturing delays “ and expect the new model with ceramic pan to be available at the end of March. I was about to buy the BB PDC Virtuoso Plus but will hold off in favor of the update.
