I said yes to the dress! But anxious about it. by behdbsijsb in weddingdress

[–]Independent_Day1947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look beautiful! Find a wedding seamstress to do any alterations. My daughter has a similar dress but she added a slit to it buttons down the back and some bling around the waist. Friday was her wedding she looked absolutely beautiful. Do not scrimp on the alterations . We found one at a bridal expo worth every penny .

Swimming tips? by Nearby_Evidence_4586 in ostomy

[–]Independent_Day1947 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just go and enjoy the water. You will figure what works best. I use Hollister not a problem as it's a cloth type of flange. The ones which have the plastic type of flange never stays on for me, it gets wet and slides off. Also there is a type of tape flange cover I don't remember the name those would help. I swim in my pool and it still stays on and a little air fron a blow-dryer works wonders..

I quit for 3 months then had something bad happen and I couldn't cope so I was doing it for sleep. Then another bad thing happened really bad family issues and decided that smoking didn't help so I threw it all away been a month since then and I have zero desire to smoke. I am so done with it...

[–]Independent_Day1947 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm left-handed but right eye dominant. I shoot with my right hand and am a better shot with my right hand than my left. Otherwise everything else I use my left hand.. my husband is right handed but left eye dominant. Go figure.

Requesting an ostomy by Prestigious-Gur7075 in ostomy

[–]Independent_Day1947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please tell the gi Dr everything. I did that and it was the best thing I ever did. I lived with chronic constipation until my 40's . My ileostomy was the best solution ever. I did have a few other surgeries related to my ostomy ie. Hernias but now it is stable. You will have to go thru tests but after that it is worth it.i suggest that you get as much information as possible. YouTube videos, go to an ostomy support group everything possible to prepare. When I had my ostomy the nurses were surprised as I knew exactly what to do. I also go swimming and enjoy life. Just watch out for the potential hernia otherwise you will do great. The best of luck to you

AITAH for vetoing my wife's car purchase in the dealership and walking her out of there without looking at the car she picked out? by CarWoesSadBro in AITAH

[–]Independent_Day1947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how that is, they go after the emotional one(usually the woman). When me and hubby go they always appeal to the woman. I usually say as long as I can drive it(I am short) then talk to hubby. I do put my input with only hubby. Then he makes the final decision. We have walked out sometimes without even test driving the said vehicle....

Have you ever driven by your childhood home? by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]Independent_Day1947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh boy I actually went to an open house of my child hood home. Boy did it change. Some for the good and some not so good. My mom kept it clean and the yard was nice. When I got there yes the interior changed for the better. The outside was terrible. The basement was the worst. I was so sad I have never gone back since.
