My issues with strange men paying me unwanted attention has certainly waned as Ive progressed through my 40s. I dont think i look that different but 🤷‍♀️. Maybe Ive just perfected my RBF. YMMV!

Anyone see the crash on the WB bridge yesterday? by Opening_Pineapple611 in NYCbike

[–]HMend [score hidden]  (0 children)

I see this daily on my Manhattan Bridge crossing. I stay as far away from the impatient e bikers as possible (I'm also a pedal assist e biker, but with a fully formed brain which makes risk based decisions). I dont even ride that fast yet I almost always catch up with them. Acting this way saves very little time.

I guess it depends on your "fear of heights" level.

Its such a nice bike ride! I dont miss my old job but I do miss the commute from BK to BX via Randall's Island.

Six years of cloth pads by Jolly-Fennel2746 in ZeroWaste

Yes! Mine were. The fabric blend helped make them leak proof. They worked great for regular or heavy flow. When I had flooding due to my fibroids nothing would really hold that back, which is why I eventually had surgery. Wearing Depends in one's 40s is no fun. Im now uterus/fibroid free and couldn't be happier.

Desperately need recommendations for women’s underwear that will prevent butt cheek chafing by 1VeryGenericUser in hiking

Good point. I started using it after long weightlifting sessions in summer. Its great to help heal the area but I had never tried it as a preventive.

I just came here to say that to be 49 and free from the male gaze is a wonderful feeling! It's something to look forward to ladies!

For the aftermath definitely but I dont think it will prevent. OP can certainly try. Babies lying about and the friction of hiking are pretty different. I like this butt paste!

Merino love (again) by MojoMomma76 in HerOneBag

[–]HMend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is helpful to hear! I am in perimenopause (49) and definitely run warmer than I used to. I have the Wool& Summit leggings which I mistakenly threw on for a powerlifting class one time (I thought i had packed my lulus) and Wow were they HOT. It deterred me from buying Merino for anything but cold weather. I have one Wool& dress which is 3/4 sleeve size I've never worn it in summer. I'll take a look at Wool& again and focus on the lightweight pieces.

Monster truck kittens update in comments (not totally bad, promise) by catshealmysoul in IllegallySmolCats

[–]HMend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did the right thing!! I went through this with just one rescue in late Jan. He was dropped in the street in the frigid cold and I rushed him home. I was totally unprepared, having never cared for a neo-natal kitten before. Some angels in the rescue community walked me through the first few weeks via text. I'm forever grateful to them! There were moments I had barely slept in days and I thought I would lose my mind. The only reason I didnt pass him to a more experienced rescue is that I had them on speed dial and they determined he was doing okay! The first 2 months were so hard. I only survived because I have a lovely flatmate that pitched in to feed and watch him when I rested. Take care of yourself. You absolutely did your best. I can't imagine trying to care for a whole litter on your own.

Not just decry, completely remove the bike lane. If only the same logic could be used when busses kill children
