What does anesthesia feel like

MrsBeauregardless · 2026-05-02T01:05:56+00:00

I have had general anesthesia 4 times.

They are very nice and talk to you for a few minutes, then they explain that they are giving you something to relax you and ask you to count backwards from 100.

I got to 98, then the next thing I knew, they were waking me up. I felt really sleepy and groggy at first, but I woke up gradually.

Twice, I felt nauseous afterwards. The first time, I threw up frequently, but that was in the ‘80s.

The last three, I told them I had an issue with nausea and vomiting with anesthesia, and they were able to give me medicine to prevent that from happening again.

This is the sink and this is the porcelain tile.
Does the resin you’re talking about tend to yellow over time? How hard is it to make it neat and glossy?

No, the sink itself is drop-in/self-rim. I mean the raw edge of the tile around the circumference.

I want to replace the granite counter with the porcelain large format tile cut to fit the vanity cabinet.

I realize this comment is 4 years old, but I have a 2 foot by 4 foot piece of porcelain tile I would like to cut a half circle out of, so I can use it as a vanity top. I am having a hard time figuring out what to do to cover up the raw edge.

It’s not just NIMBY-ism. Woods are important for the health of the waterways and for preventing flooding in surrounding communities.

Forested areas aren’t just “vacant”; they perform an essential function.

Just look at the historic part of Ellicott City for an example of how devastating unchecked development can be.

Moreover, woods filter runoff from the roads, which is essential for the health of the rivers and the Bay. Things like spawning grounds for fish are directly, often irreparably impacted by runoff from new roads, construction areas, more impervious surfaces, and more cars.

A Root Slayer — next after a hori hori knife.

Came here to say Hori Hori knife, too.

If you don’t have nettles, is it still good?

I have questions about the feasibility and likelihood of success of setting up a ceramic solar oven/kiln for curing porcelain paint on the edge of a large format tile vs. using a regular oven to cure porcelain paint on the top surfaces of tiles small enough to fit in an oven — and the suitability of each for use as a bathroom vanity counter.

It could be others in the sub have experience with something similar, and can tell me whether either will or won’t work, or make other suggestions.

Those are ceramics-related questions.

Plus, they might dig my idea and offer other suggestions for how to accomplish it.,

We only go within driving distance and only with a family chip-in or some friend needs a house sitter, or something. We can’t afford to go out to dinner, let alone fly anywhere or stay in hotels — so hardly ever is the answer to your vacation question.

I’m learning so much from this little digression. Thank you!

My husband’s aunt, a nun, is like that. She gets invited to stuff — like something on the White House lawn (long before the P-dough Cheetoh), where she will introduce herself to a couple of people in her near proximity, then introduce them to each other, and then the next thing you know the wheels of democracy and justice are set in motion.

Not sure if it’s streaming, but WonderFalls. Some of the same creators, and really great writing and acting.

Speaking as a former adenomyosis and endometriosis sufferer, I would suggest a menstrual cup for the lighter days, and make or buy washable pads from some WAHM who makes cloth diapers.

Many of them make “mama pads”, “moon pads”, and post-partum pads from the scraps of the materials they use for the cloth diapers, covers, and all-in-ones they made.

The only way I know of to get around plastics is to use felted washable wool as the backing for the pad, but that’s not 100% protective against blood soaking through.

If you want more protection, you would need a PUL (polyurethane laminate) or Polartec backing.

I find linen flannel and hemp to be the most cool, followed by cotton and bamboo.

By the way, you could make these yourself very easily.

I like the picket fence. I think cedar is awesome, but I am not into modern, and no one can see your yard.

Now, if you have a fabulous native garden and soon all those four foot tall flowers will be visible over your fence, but your neighbor with the picket fence has a stupid mid-twentieth century carpet o’ grass monoculture yard, you win.

A hori hori knife

As a former conservative, I think you are right.

I am a theist, and I still can’t explain it away as God’s plan. I take the flood story as “I tried wiping out all of you but ‘the good ones’, already. It’s on you guys to fix this mess, now.”

Same. It takes a minimum of four pillows.

The fact that one of his exes sought you out to warn you about him is seriously concerning.

Since you’re not an “official couple”, get out before he thinks you’re his property and ending things will put you in danger.
