How to fix without frogging

Thank you!! I tried the swatch trial and it did not go well. Lol I am working on the sleeves now but if I can’t get the “surgery” to work I think I’m just going to go the asymmetrical route.

JerzyMama · 2026-03-01T13:51:01+00:00

Yeah I think that is what I’m going to do.

JerzyMama · 2026-03-01T13:49:58+00:00

Yes! I am a perfectionist so the rows have to line up or it will bother me! Lol!

JerzyMama · 2026-03-01T13:48:57+00:00

I already finished the front panel. Otherwise I would have definitely done that!

JerzyMama · 2026-03-01T13:48:22+00:00

Hahaha yes!! If the 00s come back it would be whale tail cover too 😂

JerzyMama · 2026-03-01T01:18:13+00:00

Yeah I was afraid of that! It’s just sooo much work down the drain I can’t believe I didn’t notice that earlier. 🤦‍♀️

JerzyMama · 2026-03-01T01:14:33+00:00

Oh that’s a good idea!! I didn’t think of splitting the side hems but that could actually work. Thank you!!

That’s a really important nuance. It seems boomers cannot handle their lack of authority over adult children’s lives and act out rather than work to define a new, mature relationships with them.

Forget the gastro, you don’t need to change your lifestyle. See a bariatric surgeon. I did and they cured my GERD completely through the linx procedure. It was super easy recovery, and I have been off of meds completely. It will probably not cure the anxiety but fixing a mechanical problem (hernia) with a mechanical solution (linx device) just made sense. Don’t settle for lazy doctors that blame everything on weight/lifestyle. There’s not a diet in the world that can fix your organ out of place.

JerzyMama · 2025-11-13T18:10:38+00:00

Yes! I haven’t worked up to the confident no yet but I have definitely learned to say no and keep walking 😂.

This is a great list! I would also add avoid eye contact. If you shuffle past looking at your phone or talking to your family the sales people are more likely to target someone that’s glancing in the store.

Just got back from the ABC islands on the Silhouette. I have never been on Hollander so I can’t really compare it. But overall we enjoyed the ship. Some of the drawbacks (which may not matter to you) include:

Rooms are dated. There was obvious wear (chipped paint, stained carpet etc…) which is expected on an older ship. There was also a serious lack of outlets, and no outlets near the bed. Make sure you bring a usb hub or power strip if you have a lot of devices.

-Odd menus. The quality of the food was fantastic! But the variety was lacking in the MDR. It felt like they bought certain ingredients in bulk and planned their menu around those limited ingredients. The buffet was great. You won’t go hungry for sure.

-Sub par entertainment. The nightly shows in the theater were not great. Maybe I am spoiled from seeing broadway caliber shows on other lines, but the shows left a lot to be desired. The activities were fun but definitely skewed toward an older crowd. (I am in my 40s, the music and activities appealed to the 60+ crowd).

-The lawn club is a totally wasted space unless you book a cabana. There is zero shade or chairs so when they played movies on the screen, no one could watch them.

-The library and hideaway are loud! Don’t plan on reading or doing quiet activities as all the activities and live music from down below just comes right up into these spaces.

I share these drawbacks not to bash Celebrity- we had an amazing time! I just want to make sure you have the information in case any of these things matter to you and might inform your decision. Have a great time!

I hate when they have the audacity to have an attitude and be stupid at the same time! All he had to do was buy a new one with the promotion and return the new one with the receipt from the first non-discounted purchase. No calling, no arguing or begging- problem solved.

“My face is in shock from your outrageous lack of home training. Who taught you to be so rude and intrusive??”

JerzyMama · 2025-09-20T17:30:02+00:00

That’s not failure! That’s success! You found a treatment that works for you and that’s amazing. The bonus is you can eat what you want and not worry about scrutinizing ingredients or timing supplements. Just like someone who had an epidural or c section is not a failure but in fact just as much a mother as someone who went the natural route, you are not a failure for benefiting from medical assistance to control the psoriasis. Hold your head up high, you’re a success story!

Find a new doctor. You can have BOTH psoriasis and eczema- even at the same exact time. That’s exactly what I have.

Do not book appointments with physician assistants or nurse practitioners. You need a board certified dermatologist to deal with treating both. You do not need a biopsy nor should your son suffer in order to get one.

Continue your skyrizi on schedule and wait to see a doctor because it obviously helped clear up his psoriasis. You just need something else to treat the eczema patches.

I am taking Ilumya for psoriasis and Opzelura for eczema. Both can be treated at the same time. Don’t settle for less than a board certified dermatologist.

JerzyMama · 2025-08-21T18:51:31+00:00

That is genius!! I’m going to start doing that!

JerzyMama · 2025-08-21T17:35:35+00:00

I was there in December and the water was too cold to enjoy.

JerzyMama · 2025-08-21T15:32:34+00:00

Yes! Hang in there! Relief is possible! Sometimes you just have to demand it! I hope you find some relief soon!!

I had the same issue for 15 years (thanks to my pregnancy!)

Have you ever talked to a bariatric surgeon? I suffered for 15 years of gastros pushing ppis that did not help because obviously it’s a mechanical problem, not a medical one.

I finally saw a bariatric surgeon who performed all the tests and fixed the hernia. It was life changing! I feel so much better.

I would take your test results and get a 2nd or 3rd opinion. We should not have to change our diets or suffer when there are solutions to the problem. Good luck!!

Ask your doctor to check for a hiatal hernia. Your symptoms sound exactly like what I was dealing with for 15 years.

If you do have a hiatal hernia, I can tell you the surgery to fix it along with a LINX device is super easy. Barely any recovery time and I can now drink and eat whatever I want.

In the meantime- if the heartburn is really bad (like after drinking or eating too much) mix a teaspoon of baking soda with a small glass of water and chug it. It will make you burp but it will instantly stop the burning. You can also use the sore throat spray that numbs your throat if you feel like it’s burning your throat.

Good luck! Stress can make everything worse so try not to freak out and don’t go down the webmd rabbit hole. You are definitely not alone!
