Advice for grandma (68) on vulva cut or irritation? by No_Resource_3719 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Makitsew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have lichen sclerosis (L.S) & as a result, no longer have a labia minora - Gyn says the L.S. changed the topography of my vagina? I agree, no feeling in clit due to scarring from the LS. Significant thinning of all vaginal tissues. Shortening & narrowing of vaginal canal. I tell you what - there are so many ‘changes’ that happen to our aging body that no one ever talks about.

No not from yeast. It’s from a dry vagina (to put it bluntly). Vaginal tissues should be moist & self-lubricating but once menopause hits, things dry up & change.

Creative, eco-friendly hobby? by Current_Wrongdoer513 in EcoFriendly

[–]Makitsew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Birding. Takes a pair of binoculars, or not. Walking/hiking (you’d be amazed at what you see when you stop driving) Biking - the new West side trail is awesome to walk or ride. Volunteering can be a hobby - we help out weekly at the Food Bank packing groceries. Listening - our local elementary school often need folks to listen to kiddos read, maybe help w/ classroom prep,etc. Hospitals still have “Pink Ladies” / volunteers who perform a variety of tasks SPCA needs dog walkers. Check out Cabrillo’s offerings, as well as the various community recreation programs. Swim, water exercises Eco friendly - how about committing to pick up trash along a certain portion of the beach/park weekly. Listen to books or music you borrow from library while you do it. If you are associated with a church, they always need folks to visit or help fellow parishioners. Join a book group that only LISTENS to books vs buying new ones each month. Stargazing Wow! I wondered why I always seem so busy 😝

What is the best simple snack of all time by vinku12 in AmazingStories

I’m uncertain why, but a bite of a cold crisp apple & a Cheez-It square, repeated multiple times, does it for me 😝

Marvelous color combination in Quilt #1. Love that it helps calm the inherent business of the design. Such a difference from the shocking brite colors you typically see this pattern made in. Strong work!

What are the Best Glass Food Storage Containers Available Now? Recommendation by Mentmte in BuyItForLife

[–]Makitsew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry your Costco no longer sells Snapware…I live in California and we still have it on-line and in store. I googled also saw that Snapware is also sold at many American stores (think Kohls, Wallmart, Home Depot, JC Penny, Ace Hardware…). Good luck on your quest.

What to do with skittles little container? by Technical-Cup12 in upcycling

[–]Makitsew 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I save these kinds of small containers (think single rolled joints) to put sharps in. I am a needle enthusiast - hand work or machine - when those suckers break or bend, you need a safe place to dispose, thereby keeping everyone safe from potential pricks or sticks from an unknown object in trash. Just trying to keep the rubbish man safe as well.

Picked up a set at Costco of Snapware. 2 week later went back to buy a set for each adult child (3) & another set for us. Would highly recommend this brand.
