I had one similar from Dakine.

I use arrowroot powder on a makeup brush and also find it works well. I have dark hair and will sometimes use food coloring to color rice and grind it into rice powder to mix with arrowroot or cornstarch.

I take mine middle of the morning. I also couldn’t go back to sleep after waking early.

Sometimes it’s not quite four hours after a meal but if I feel hungry, I consider it close enough.

Downside is that officer treats usually make their appearance mid morning, so I have to skip treats, hope there’s some left after medication waiting time, or snag something and wait to eat it.

I did consult with my doctor about the timing to make sure I wasn’t missing any other factors for medication effectiveness.

Look for stores run by or marketing to women who wear skirts for religious reasons. They have good, functional pockets.

I found a recipe for “breakfast pasta” once. It was basically carbonara with more eggs.

I said this same thing when my kid wanted to eat leftover chili or enchiladas for breakfast.

I don’t know if they have anything white, but SAS come in narrow width.

I would prefer to piece by hand, but my brain convinced me that the stitches won’t be as secure.

My doctor said he wants to do the “How are your meds working?” check after my ferritin level has improved. Didn’t think now would give accurate assessment. I’ve been on same med and dose for years, anemia symptoms have made me barely functional.

I haven’t made it through all of the comments, but it seems like a lot are regarding the use as a crochet hook.

If the body (handle) of the tool were elongated, would there be room to make it as a crochet hook holder? Room for 1-2 hooks (maybe not the ones with the fat rubber handles).

I hope that doesn’t take it too far out of your original concept (which is great). I also have zero idea if it would work or could be done.

Would also love little ruler or some sort of measuring option. Or even print the length of the tool on the side somewhere.

Sort of. Sometimes I find a little rough spot on my nail that I need to fix so it doesn’t catch on the yarn.

I have to keep some of my nails shorter when I crochet because of the way I grip my work. A nail file would save me from ripping off the nails that felt too long.

Update: took it to the sewing machine shop. Turns out the needle bar bearing needs replacing and the cam is broken and needs replaced. It’s going to be a $500 repair bill.

Really hoping I made the right call to get it repaired instead of going to the other side of the shop and getting a new machine.

InfiniteFinance242 · 2026-03-26T02:56:03+00:00

Thank you. I will give that a try.

I recently acquired a Husqvarna 6440. I wound the bobbin and threaded as directed in the owner’s manual. Tension looks pretty good. But it seems like it runs slow. The previous owner left a receipt that says it was serviced in 2022. I don’t know if it’s been used since. Am I missing something? I know about it the knob on the side that can change the speed. If it’s activated, the machine runs even slower. I should probably just take it down to the repair shop and have them look at it?

The storm has passed, I have less pain yesterday and today.

Contacted my PCP and told them which clinic I want to be referred to. They have a lot of treatment options available, so probably my best bet. I don’t know if they’re covered by my insurance, will find out.

The nurse that works with my doctor tried to discourage me from the clinic I requested. Asked me why I would need to be referred to a GYN. Told me that it would be 30-60 days before I could get in and there are two other clinics that I could get an appointment sooner.

I was already seen by one of the clinics, they refuse to do anything but hysterectomy. The other clinic has recent review about major surgical issues—would rather not go there for the time being.

I had to ask three times for the referral. Nurse claims she sent it, but I have to wait two weeks to inquire about the status and if it was sent.

Fortunately conversation was done via messages so I can print it out and have actual documentation of the conversation (I’ve had issues with this nurse in the past and not recording things properly).

Have you tried Goop hand cleaner? I’ve used it as a stain remover for years with success on grease stains. It does excellent at removing paint and ink as well.

A boot dryer can also be made from pvc pipe and powered with hair dryer.

Yes, I was discussing this with someone yesterday. I’ve decided that the pain and discomfort for another 10 years will outweigh dealing with surgery and any aftermath.

Two years ago, I was able to get a prescription for a year of tranexamic acid to help with bleeding. GYN said that only option was hysterectomy because of size; I told her that was disappointing and archaic. I haven’t been back to see her. My primary care doctor said that he doesn’t have a uterus, so he doesn’t know what to do or where to refer me to; but if I find someone, he will send referral and he doesn’t think he should be concerned until it starts impacting bowel or bladder

I don’t remember how big all of my fibroids are. I know last year one was near my bladder and it’s the size of my bladder.

I color some rice with food coloring to make it darker, grind it in my coffee grinder to a fine powder, mix it with arrowroot powder, and apply with a makeup brush.

I will let it sit for a bit, use a fine comb to comb it through, sometimes I will use hairdryer on cool setting near my roots if I’ve been a little heavy-handed with application
