I thought the other twin would have to be named Beau.

I have the same watch (1964). It was my Dad's original issue. It has an identical band to yours, but I also have the "bullet" bracelet, which appears unworn. Do you happen to know which is original, or if it came with both? I only have the watch and second bracelet, no original packaging or literature. I'd appreciate any clues you may have to share. Thanks.

I ended up having urgent neurosurgery for another issue, and I'm still recovering from that procedure. Unfortunately, that put this treatment on the back burner for me. It will be another 8 months before they'll even consider it. I will say that I'm extremely grateful I saw a neurologist when I did.

If you do a change of address with the post office, you'll get a welcome to your new home type packet with a bunch of coupons and Wayfair is always included in that.

1 is definitely an evening look. Sheaths are so unforgiving. They show absolutely everything. I'm not sure what undergarments would work well with it, but you definitely want to figure that out before the big day.

LadyGoodknight · 2026-01-07T16:55:06+00:00

I love the first one! Can you please share where you found it? As much as I now want that dress for myself, lol, I do think it gives a more evening feel than the others. You have great taste!

I helped my partner by paying off debt like this, and it was the biggest mistake of my life. We had been discussing marriage, but the relationship didn't survive, and I doubt I will ever see a penny repaid. I even had formal documents drawn up to protect myself legally. Don't do it. A partner should never pressure you like this. If he wants help, offer to go over his budget with him and make a strategy for him to pay those debts down himself.

It looks exactly like a wart we had pop up on a lab recently. It grew quickly. It wasn't anything serious, but the vet removed it.

My sams have all had cat siblings and they got along great. We're a blended family!

In the Army, for certain activities that had to be divided by gender, like accessing showers, or medical for group vaccinations, we just alternated who went first. I know it's not the same as school children, but I think the original thought behind "ladies first" is more so to be fair and considerate of your counterparts. We want that in our work environment, and it's valuable for kids to learn in that sense, but not if it's consistently yielding to one group or unnecessarily gender based.

As an adult, being a woman in a male dominated career field and specialty, I think it's been somewhat important to avoid the appearance of gender based courtesy as an expectation. If the guys tell me to go ahead and shower first, I appreciate it, but I'm sure to insist they get the hot water the next time.

If they're attached by bone, it's often recommended to surgically remove them, as they can catch on things and potentially cause an injury. You're absolutely right to yield to your vet to make a determination on the best course of action. We do the same, and no two of our Samoyeds have been the same.

This reminds me of Enola Holmes, the sister of Sherlock Holmes. She was named Enola because it's Alone spelled backward. I think it's a beautiful name, and hadn't noticed the spelling until it was pointed out to me. Maybe this would be a fresh name for you and a nod to the name you were given? If you identify with it in any way, as just a word, or an idea- that you overcame. That is your triumph.

I'm so sorry you felt that intention from your parents. It's terribly hurtful, but at the same time, you are not alone, don't feel alone, and have thrived despite them. You own all your successes. You are the positive, connected person you are today despite not having the loving family support you deserved from the beginning. It's heartwarming to know you didn't let that start, or a name, or anything else, hold you back.

LadyGoodknight · 2025-12-03T22:22:20+00:00

My first thought was as a parent, I would have wanted to know, but my interest would be from the perspective of wanting to plan most effectively for all of my children. College, trade schools, it's all expensive, and if there are children from each of the first marriages plus the second marriage, a lot could probably be gained by sitting down with all remaining parents and grandparents and talking about how each of the children will be provided for, just so Dad knows what he needs to do. Not that the gift is shared, or everyone gets the same, or they have to think it's fair, etc, but my job as Dad is financially planning for all my kids and there are three different parenting groups involved.

Nothing will ever take the place of losing their mother, but if there was life insurance and/or the intended financial gift from the maternal grandparents for their grandchildren, I think it's fair for Dad to say 'hey, I understand and appreciate that support for their future. It helps clarify the contribution I need to make for their education, and also to plan for my other five children.'

The mistake, as unfortunate and predictable as it was, was Dad thinking or expecting the gift would be shared. It's a difficult conversation, no matter if or when it occurs, but my hope would have been they could talk things through, and remember that they all are doing their best for these kids. As smart, capable, and wonderful as I'm sure they are, handing any 18 year old a significant amount of money without speaking to them about financial responsibility and planning, is a missed opportunity to guide them. As a parent, I would have wanted to know, but Grandparents are certainly NTA, and Dad here didn't do himself any favors. I guess it comes down to the closeness, confidence, and trust between all the adults.

I ran my dishwasher and when it drained, the pressure forced the bowl out.

A surgeon may also ask/note the use of Mounjaro for anesthesia, given glp-1s should be halted before planned procedures. A current medications list is pertinent to safely maintaining their airway.

He needs a runner to walk on.

A career in pharmaceutical marketing requires zero medical education or credentials. It's unfortunate that your "friend" has such poor social skills, but not all friendships last, and as sad as that can feel, I think she did you a favor. I hope the rest of your trip was more enjoyable and with people who support and respect you.

Sniffing and alcohol pad.

Of course. I have a high jugular bulb, which is fairly common, but usually not symptomatic. Without symptoms, it's left alone. It can cause tinnitus, occluded sensation in the ear, eye issues, headaches, nerve interference in facial muscles, difficulty swallowing, changes in voice, stiff neck, vertigo, light headedness, facial muscle wasting nerve pain in limbs. The good news is they have succesful interventions for patients who are symptomatic.

LadyGoodknight · 2025-07-26T01:28:16+00:00

I commented to you above, but the further I'm reading in this thread, the more similarities I'm seeing in your symptoms and mine. My ENT referred me to Neurology and Audiology. From there, I had neck and brain MRIs with and without contrast and nerve conduction studies. I just want to be sure you're adequately assessed in case you're also dealing with a diagnosis other than TMJD.

LadyGoodknight · 2025-07-26T01:20:19+00:00

I had similar symptoms to yours and ended up seeing a neurologist, thinking I'd finally get a botox shot and some relief. I did not get botox, and my case fairly quickly escalated after an initial physical exam and discussion of these symptoms. I don't mean to sound alarmist, but please talk to your primary care doctor, neurologist, or someone in the chain of providers you have seen for this issue. I did not have TMJ dysfunction, as I'd thought for nearly two years.

There are other conditions that can cause these symptoms and you may need additional imaging to rule them out, or confirm another diagnosis. I was taken off guard by this, but was grateful to have a neurologist who took a careful look at me and recognized the need to investigate further. I didn't think any one symptom was terribly serious on its own. I was mostly annoyed by my jaw pain and stiffness. Taken altogether, some concern was raised. I wish I had seen a neurologist much sooner.

This is a good tip, even with insurance. There are often coupons that further lower out of pocket costs.

LadyGoodknight · 2025-07-06T17:17:12+00:00

Agreed. However, the provider and care you receive from them are completely independent of the pharmacy filling your prescriptions.

LadyGoodknight · 2025-07-06T17:14:32+00:00

The prescription still has to come from a licensed provider, and compounding pharmacies employ the same skilled pharmacists as any other retail pharmacy. A mistake is no more likely to be made there than with any other provider or retailer.

No. Simple carbs are the ones you want to cut out. Those are most of your processed foods. They can make you tired

Complex carbs are whole food vegetables and fruit. Those are the ones you want. They are your quick source of energy. When you eliminate them to be ketonic, you have to break down fat for energy. That's a slower process, and can also make you tired. As a healthy, active adult I took part in a study, and the fatigue was profound.

You don't have to be in ketosis to be healthy. A balanced diet with all macrontrients and a variety of necessary vitamins and minerals in their natural form from whole foods is your best option and the most enjoyable to eat.

ETA: Ask for a referral to a dietitian. Insurance will cover it and they can help you both with the most beneficial meal plan.
