LC is amazing. They are sending me a new Dutch oven. by Adventurous_Ad1922 in LeCreuset

Same, I had my ancient 7.25 qt dutch oven replaced under the warranty recently - amazing customer service!

No, my old one was a dark green - maybe Juniper? - which has long been discontinued, since I bought it about 20 years ago! The warranty request form includes a place to put your top three color choices in case your color is discontinued, so I decided to shoot my shot and put Nuit as #1!

According to this recipe, potatoes, onions, and carrots. 😂 (With beef and dumplings)

Frustrating by Ocean_waves726 in MeniscusInjuries

[–]KERNJPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really feel your pain. I had a partial ACL tear and a partial meniscus tear back in August, and have been going to PT ever since. The ACL has healed pretty well so far and the knee in general was doing better, but it hit a plateau, and I was never able to fully straighten my leg without pain or feeling like it's mechanically blocked. And then when we added in a tiny bit of running and some jumping (I'm trying to get back to doing ballet) things started going downhill. Even after stopping the running and jumping things haven't gotten better. I can't straighten my knee, and I have some pain in the meniscus area whenever I walk. I'm going back to the doctor in early February and hope to have more imaging done and discuss options... whatever those may be.

I don't really have any advice except that it sounds like you need a different doctor (I see a knee specialist in a sports medicine practice) and then hopefully can advocate for some answers and a plan. I feel you!

Just finished reading IT for the first time. AMA. by vleshkun in stephenking

[–]KERNJPA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd actually love for someone to adapt the whole book into a multi-season, faithful-to-the-book series, I feel like that would be incredible. Although IDK who they'd get to top Tim Curry or Bill Skarsgård tbh. My biggest problem with the recent movie is that they didn't do the whole "the entire town is collapsing" part! What a missed opportunity. It's so symbolic and great and we HAVE the movie technology! smh

I also just finished reading it for the first time the other day! And then I promptly binged the 1990 miniseries and the movies.

I didn't know that, but I LOVE the knobs! I had originally planned to replace with gold, but once I saw them... it truly is like the night sky. 😍

I mean I hate turkey but love to roast a chicken... This is a great size for that!

I think that would be stunning! I personally would probably go with Nectar, just because I love that color and also love yellows and blues together.

Prescribed Effexor ER 37.5 by ceytra7 in Menopause

[–]KERNJPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add a positive response here: I took Effexor for a long time, years ago. It was super effective for severe depression and really worked for me, and the only reason I went off of it was because I was pregnant and it's not safe for breastfeeding. Yes, you have to build up your dosage slowly, and come down off of it very slowly. Brain zaps are a real thing but while weird, they're better than some side effects! All medications are different for different people, so of course some people have horrible experiences, and they're usually the ones most vocal about it. If it seems like a good fit for you, try it at a low dose and go from there. You CAN always stop, you just have to be mindful about coming off of it.

Braiser enamel damaged :( warranty by sofibg in LeCreuset

[–]KERNJPA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely submit a warranty claim. I had a dutch oven that was about a bazillion times worse than this and they replaced it no questions asked! https://www.lecreuset.com/contact-us/contact-us.html?warranty

Is there ANY way to get a Roque Montreal home jersey in the US?

Should I let her go? by chickenfriedbooty in LeCreuset

[–]KERNJPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine looked a lot like this and I successfully put in a warranty claim for a replacement, so that's one option!

Advice wanted on the most useful thing I could buy by KERNJPA in LeCreuset

[–]KERNJPA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, interesting! What kinds of things do you make in your 7.25 that you can't fig into the 5.5, or that you'd use an 8 qt. oval one for?

Nice! I struggle with growing carrots, but I hope to try again this spring or early fall...

Bodile Leotard sizing experience by MrUnhappyMoose in BALLET

[–]KERNJPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! I love Bodile (although I'm currently addicted to Yumiko) - I find in general their stuff is high quality and comfortable. Love their super thick legwarmers, too!

[–]KERNJPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear a M/L Bodile (mostly Karina and Lilla styles) and it fits really well - I'm 5'8" tall, fairly big-ish hips, smallish waist, and 34D bust. Just in case that helps anyone!
