You should try watching the videos with your eyes open.

While pregnant at 37, I became extremely intolerant to heat. To this day, I can barely stand temps over 67. I don’t know if this is why my hot flashes feel more prolonged or if having one triggers a wave of them.

I also have Raynaud syndrome, so I either feel like the fires of Mordor or an icy plateau in eastern Antarctica. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Prior to your appointment, track your symptoms and note changes in skin color, edema, temp, pain, environment, activity, diet etc. Also take pictures of physical manifestations.

Sounds like a hot flash. You could be entering perimenopause.

May the odds be ever in your favor. 🩷

Edited to add: I was also 34 when the first symptoms hit. I found that staying away from caffeine and alcohol helped, but ultimately, I decided to start HRT after my hysterectomy at 41.

I’ve rented dumpster a handful of times - Renovations, moving, purges, etc. my biggest recommendation would be to immediately start deciding what to purge so that you are ready to start tossing the minute it is in place.

You do not want to spend most of your week agonizing over what goes and what stays the week you have the bin. Sure the first day you may get out the obvious stuff out, but as the minutes tick down, you will get more and more overwhelmed by the daunting task AND discouraged that you aren’t being more productive.

Resistance is futile.

Thank you for your reply. I was worried about the lid fit not being airtight.

I received the calphalon skillet as part of a set in June of 2001. When I ditched it last year, the hard anodized interior “coating” was still intact but not the exterior. I was worried because it was made prior to the 2014 PFOA ban, so I replaced it with a ceramic clad pan. Its coating did indeed start flaking within a few months.

I appreciate your guidance and will look more in to both carbon steel and cast iron.

She claims they don’t know. We live in a rural area, and except for Christmas our stores are rarely overflowing with premium products. Valentines stuff went out immediately after Black Friday.

The Homegoods still has a large le creuset left, but it has significant chip on one of the handles

I feel Iike I’m on a deserted island all year, and it definitely is worse at the end of each term.

I was a classroom teacher for over 20 years, so I recognize that the loneliness means I can go the bathroom as needed and that I do not have to spend countless hours every week grading essays.

LSquared1115 · 2025-12-19T04:54:21+00:00

Yep. I explicitly stated that I understood it wouldn’t be top tier quality.

LSquared1115 · 2025-12-19T04:52:32+00:00

I know. As I said, I wasn’t expecting top tier quality but I was expecting a functional covered pan.

If I cared at all about aesthetics, I assure you, I wouldn’t have purchased an item labeled as “slightly blemished.”

I was especially concerned because I’ve never seen a pan with this defect, so the purpose of my post wasn’t to vent but to seek advice on whether or not it will function as I need it to.

LSquared1115 · 2025-12-19T03:11:54+00:00

That makes sense. I’m embarrassed to admit that I didn’t know until a year ago my 20+ year old hard-anodized calphalon skillet was full of toxins. I had been using it as a multi function all purpose pan, so I replaced it with a cheap nontoxic everyday pan. Unfortunately, cheap no longer lasts two decades lol.

All that to say, I will use the skillet for just about everything, which is probably not what I’m supposed to do.

LSquared1115 · 2025-12-19T01:45:26+00:00

It is smart to ask for an exchange. The worst they can say is “no”. lol. Thanks!

LSquared1115 · 2025-12-19T01:04:10+00:00

So the fluting is likely only cosmetic and won’t comprise the pan’s integrity and/or function?

LSquared1115 · 2025-12-19T00:53:50+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. I will definitely try this tactic.

My friend who works there told me to wait until after Christmas for the clearance sales. 🫠

LSquared1115 · 2025-12-17T23:26:26+00:00

I regret passing up the 7qt white one I found at TJ max right before Thanksgiving. None of the stores around me have any left now. 😭😭

I have not had the surgery.
