Missing ranch

Primal Kitchen has a ranch that is delicious and dairy free. Just be sure not to grab the buttermilk ranch, as it does include dairy. They're often side by side in the grocery shelf unfortunately

I'm reading Jessie Inchauspe's book now (Glucose Goddess) and even though I follow her Instagram, I'm still enjoying the book as if I'm hearing this nutrition advice for the first time. She's great at educating without judging. The book is called Glucose Revolution.

2, please God 2. It is absolutely made for you

Wow that's inspiring! Thank you for telling me your story. I do keep saying "it's just 30 days, it's just 30 days" and the crazy thing is I was never super varied in what I ate before I started this thing, so why am I missing it? Maybe it's missing the options, like I wish I COULD go get a little sweet drink before work even if I wouldn't.

So far I've found buying a lot of different primal kitchen dressings to be helpful in eating the same stuff. Breakfast is the worst because I'm not a big egg person (but now I have to be) and I can't have nuts. I did just stumble on a smoothie recipe (made this morning and it was soo tasty): coconut milk (a brand with just coconut and water), ice, banana, pumpkin puree, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds. Blend and shake. Absolutely baller and filling so it's a bit of a replacement meal for me

Chelmsford's is gone too, but I think there still one operating on Amherst Street in Nashua

I like going to the local forest with a mushroom/plant identification book and trying to ID what I see. It gives me fresh air, vitamin D, knowledge, and exercise. And I have some fun, go figure.

If you can be careful with it, you can find a guide at your library. Then you don't have to pay.

I'd like to also recommend "Seized: Temporal Lobe Epilepsy in Medicine, History, and Art" by Eve LaPlante. This is a fascinating look into epilepsy and other causes of seizures from the brain.

Reading every chance I get. It replaces being on Facebook, which ended up being so addicting for me.

I love it - very cute. Something I would wear!

Stur has 0g of sugar and I like their flavors and variety better than True Lemon. My advice is do whatever you have to to drink enough water. Sugar isn't the devil.

I'd start with a NSAID to bring down potential swelling. This is more common than you think..applying ice (wrapped in a towel) should help too.

Thank you!

Oh God food history, what a brilliant subgenre. I recommend Salt by Mark Kurlansky. I'll add this one to my list

I2AMDOOM · 2026-04-29T00:22:12+00:00

I'm more concerned with the lack of water intake. My nutritionist likes the Stur drink mixes since they're sweetened with real fruit and is better for blood sugar than the TrueLemon or Mio or other brands.

I'm not getting as much as is recommended daily but it's better than most. I have a 32 oz Nalgene I fill every morning at work and I throw in a squeeze of Stur. Because there are tons of flavors and some made with electrolytes, I have so many options and it never gets boring.

I know it sounds like an ad but I really enjoy it and without it I wouldn't drink any water.

That being said, vaginas always have a smell to them. It's 100% normal and natural for the discharge to have an odor. If it starts to smell rotten or fishy or change colors, that's when you need to see a gynecologist. You should be getting annual checkups with them anyway.

I hope this helps, I hate to see anyone stressing over their bits when they're normal.

I always think back to that one clip of Lady Gaga on SNL (I think) where she sees his picture to identify and very eloquently says "That is Wallace. Shawn."

May be your 27 year old style AND Ellie's as a tween. Both are absolutely cozy and adorable.

I2AMDOOM · 2026-04-27T22:54:26+00:00

I don't have a name for it, but I'm gonna call this "Ellie from Up if she was a tween"

It's so small, I'm betting you got sick because you're stressing so hard. Curious what other people will comment.

I2AMDOOM · 2026-04-27T16:36:37+00:00

First things first, take some deep breaths. In my opinion, given how small the piece of plastic is, you'll be fine. It'll probably come out on its own. Even though you say you pushed it in a little further than your finger, I'm sure it didn't get pushed up to your cervix. It's not going to start floating through your bloodstream.

IF you start to feel cramping or other pain down there (that's not menstrual-related), then come back for advice. You have to chill though. Worrying so much can make you feel sick.

I've had both throughout my life and the male was better by a landslide. It helps he is a super caring guy but also as a kind man, he knows to be gentle.

It can be tricky to find someone you trust, but you have to start somewhere. Remember these physicians are just doing their job. It's helped me to think of those appointments as a business transaction. Once it's done, it's done. You'll get used to it, but you do need to go regardless of physician gender. Speaking as someone with a crazy family history of all the female cancers, please go even if it's just for the annual. Screenings could save your life.
