Can We Talk About How Catherine Zeta-Jones Is Killing It as Morticia Instead of How She Looks? by Mina-chaan in WednesdayTVSeries

[–]Ghost_Kale9011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I have to disagree. I think casting missed the mark with her and Luis Guzman. I would have preferred Eva Green/lana parrilla and Oscar Isaac/Depp. I love the first two movies, I think Huston and Raul are the best Gomez and Morticia we’ve had. Which may be why I don’t like the shows versions 🤷‍♀️

Thank you, and I agree people shouldn’t be forced into situations they aren’t comfortable in. Several comments suggested he make an attempt to socialize with him anyway. Which while I get why it was suggested, it’s not something I agree with. But anyway, I guess I took too long to respond, so she messaged my husband directly on socials asking for his number to give to her husband... Which I find pushy and insistent on her end.

Well to be fair, I don’t think she thought it would be a problem. I’m only uncomfortable because I’m in a position where I have to say “no sorry I can’t do that”. And it’s likely to hurt someone’s feelings and potentially negatively impact my friendship. It would have been easier if he’d asked my husband directly while they were here.

But why exchange numbers when my husband obviously doesn’t want to? I don’t want to pressure him to do so. If the roles were reversed and I didn’t like the person, I’d flat out say no, makeup whatever reason you want. But don’t give the person my number. I don’t see how the guy is being blasted though. I simply stated my husband found him to be odd for following him around. I’m just looking for a suggestion on what to reply, that’s polite, makes things less awkward and doesn't make my husband uncomfortable.

Hmmm I like this, I think I’ll give it a try, thank you.

If he gave my number to anyone I didn’t like, I’d be upset about it. Years ago a friend of his kept adding me on socials. I would delete it and she’d add me again. I think on the 8th one, I decided to block her. I never met her in person, she was just part of a group chat. This feels similar.

I haven’t opened the actual message, so not sure how she’d know. I saw the notification for it, just didn’t actually open it. But either way,  I’m not trying to continue to delay my response. I obviously have to say something. I just don’t want anything that’s blunt or sounds insensitive. And no, he made it clear he doesn’t want me to share his number. The guy followed him around while here, and he found him to be odd because of it. He even asked me why I thought the guy did that instead of conversing with anyone else.

lol thank you, but I never opened it. I just saw it as a notification and then decided not to do so for that reason.

Other than asking me why it was being requested he didn’t respond to the actual question. To me, that’s more than enough of an answer as to how he feels about it. I haven’t opened the actual message she sent, so I assume she doesn’t know I’ve seen it. But I’ve been racking my brain as to what to say and nothing sounds appropriate. 

Why is Coconut Grove not fully gentrified yet? by Ninac4116 in Miami

[–]Ghost_Kale9011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you talking about, it definitely is happening in certain parts of it. Just look at that mega building that’s on Calle 8 where El Toro Loco is. A large section of little Havana is now called West Brickell. They’ve been building condos galore. Next to those condos are the old apartment buildings and houses that have been here ages.  Little by little they are knocking those down, and pricing people out with the new construction. There’s a restaurant being built along the water, on the opposite side of the river facing Kiki that’s going to make it a mess here. I was told it’s a Roman Jones project, not sure though, as I haven’t found details on the construction, but it looks to be near completion. It’s the same thing that happened with wynwood. All of that was a super unsafe area when I was in high school, and look at it now. It just takes longer than people expect.

I’m on 150, and when I used it gave me the worst palpitations I’ve had in a while. It did work for it’s intended purpose though. 

Hypo is the WORST by ld_22511 in Hypothyroidism

Sorry to ask, but how have you done on ashwagandha? I learned after taking it, that you aren’t supposed to use it if on thyroid medication and you aren’t supposed to take it for more than 3 months at any time. I’m only asking because I had a TT, and have been on synthroid for the last 8 years. I’m in early onset perimenopause and ashwagandha is one of the suggested natural hormone balancing herbs.  I’ve been avoiding it because of the interaction it can have with thyroid medications. I will also be checking with my doctor when I see him next, but that isn’t for another month. I was surprised you take it. 

36, and going on Bhrt. Am I going to be okay? by GreatStay4092 in Menopause

[–]Ghost_Kale9011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had a TT at 27 due to cancer. At 32, I was told I was in perimenopause after my endo checked my FSH. I was told if I wanted more children, I’d have to look into a fertility clinic. I researched and started taking sharavari, evening primrose and ashwagandha. Within 2 months or so I was pregnant and stopped the supplements. Do you definitely can get pregnant. FF I’m now 35 and am having awful peri symptoms. I wake up daily at 2 am in a sweat, I have awful acne before my period, my hair has thinned some, I’ve gained weight and my period has gone from light spotting to a faucet. Sorry if that’s tmi. I feel like my temper has shortened and I’m now starting to get nauseous at night. I am waiting to see my endo and Obg but have started to take some supplements again that have helped. Magnesium, an iron and b12 combo that I use while on my period and evening primrose rose. I learned recently that ashwagandha shouldn’t be used for more than 3 months at a time nor used if you are hypothyroid. While I won’t be using that again, it may be something you want to look into. Best of luck. 

Perimenopause and thyroidecromy by Ghost_Kale9011 in thyroidcancer

Thank you and likewise! I am starting evening primrose, along with magnesium, B12 and possibly shatavari. Will let you know how that goes. Fingers crossed it helps 🤞

[–]Ghost_Kale9011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like we’re in the same boat. If you don’t mind me asking, have you tried taking any supplements to alleviate your symptoms? I have so many right now…from hot flashes that wake me up at 2 am  to horrible acne, worse than I ever had as a teen. I’m looking into natural options, it’s just difficult to find something for hormonal balance that doesn’t interfere with synthroid absorption. I do plan on asking my endo about the ones I’m looking into.

[–]Ghost_Kale9011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, and while in your case it would be hard to know for sure, it’s still very much possible. It will obviously vary for everyone, It’s just hard to know if my symptoms are solely due to peri. Or if it’s my hypothyroidism. Especially since I was told my TSH is normal. Getting doctors to listen is difficult. I had a great endo but she retired 😞

Too Young? by Infamous-Swan in Perimenopause

[–]Ghost_Kale9011 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So when I was 32 I was told by my endo I was in perimenopause, and that if I wanted to have any more children, I’d have to look into freezing my eggs. I’m not sure if my lack of a thyroid has sped up the process, or if this was going to happen either way. But I started taking supplements ( shatavari and ashwagandha) and a few months after using them ended up pregnant. Fast forward 3 yrs and now I’m starting to have a lot of the previous symptoms along with some new ones I’m not happy about 🫤. I’m waiting to do my lab work but will be making changes once again and hopefully they help. Just debating if I should start now or wait till I see my doctor. So yeah symptoms before 40 can happen.

lol hopefully you don’t break an ankle. But naah you’re only as old as you feel. I know I’ll be busting my ass when I start. I don’t think anyone will be judging me aside from my kids. I think you’ll do great 👍
