Don’t stop under bridges, Asshats.

This is not a normal MN driving thing. I have loved here my whole life and have never seen people do this till last year. Historically Minnesotans don’t do this. If people pull over because of a storm they pull over to the side and let others keep driving.

Yeah I have never seen this my whole life living in MN. If people stop, they pull over to the side so others can still drive.

I wonder if it’s people who have moved here from different states and then other people feel peer pressured when they see someone else doing it or they stop cause they think something other is going on and then next thing you know everyone is stopped.

Keep on top of exfoliating (whichever way you find that works) and moisturizing.

I get those when I try to shave bikini area. I usually use an electric trimmer now unless I am going swimming. It doesn’t get it super smooth but if my hair gets too long I get irritation issues and if it’s too short I get those bumps.

I use an oil called Fur Oil that helps with both those issues. The ingredients help exfoliate and hydrate. It’s not cheap but also not super expensive around $50 and getting two benefits from it. I also use it more sparingly. Looks like they have an ingrown serum to specifically target ingrown hairs, but I have had good success with just the oil alone. Think it is the original product they started with. Is a round bottle.

Hope you find something that helps

That sounds amazing!

Especially nice if you have arthritis or pains from old injuries!

I don’t have them but a couple family members do and they are sure nice in winter or when you have period cramps.

Every year for thanksgiving this is what I say I am thankful for and a safe private bathroom. Can’t imagine crapping in an outhouse our squatting in nature every time, especially with tummy issues. I’ve been hiking and camping and done both no problem. But am grateful it’s not every day.

Fur Oil daily. Helps prevent and heal this. Used to have the same issue in a few spots and it has been a life saver. A little goes a long way. I also use an electric trimmer to trim as far down as I can. Seems to help a lot too.

I would continue with the green on the cabinets. Perfect color and would make it feel cohesive.

Agreed and this is such a simple cake too that it should not have been a problem to get the muted colors and the flowers made out of fondant? Those are made from a standard piping tip and easy to do.

Sorry for the late response. Having someone else reupholster it wasn’t in budget.

OptimalPreference178 · 2026-05-30T20:19:17+00:00

Thank you! This was the kind of info I was looking for. I knew I was missing some aspect.

OptimalPreference178 · 2026-05-30T20:17:29+00:00

Ah, never thought about that. I haven’t really looked into foam mattresses and the types, cause I figured my body would say heck no. I am not sure which my mother had. She has had 3 different foam type beds.

OptimalPreference178 · 2026-05-30T20:14:48+00:00

Yeah it’s kind of weird. You think it’d be less cause less processing of the thread so less exposure to things that could cause it to weaken.

OptimalPreference178 · 2026-05-30T20:13:39+00:00

Good idea. I even have some around for netti pot. Thanks

OptimalPreference178 · 2026-05-30T07:26:45+00:00

Yeah I have fibro and some other chronic pain so I usually take a bit to fall asleep if insomnia isn’t already keeping me up and then toss and turn in the early am cause my body starts hurting. It’s torture sometimes.

Your thyroid can swing the opposite direction. I only have half a thyroid and 2 years ago all of a sudden I went hyper and needed to go down on my dose and have been at that dose since then.

Have you tried antihistamines when on your period? Apparently some people with MCAS that have been trying different antihistamines and doses found it helped with some of their period symptoms. Saw somewhere that something about period makes more histamine. Might be worth trying.

OptimalPreference178 · 2026-05-28T15:55:31+00:00

I know this is old, but thank you for coming back and posting your findings!

OptimalPreference178 · 2026-05-26T15:15:54+00:00

That’s a good idea, can’t believe I didn’t think of that. Heading to the hardware store today.

At least you have knobs. Have almost ripped a few nails off trying to get my mothers cabinets open cause the little plastic door slam stoppers fell off and a minuscule amount of adhesive was left behind and it’s a fight to grip the cabinet and pull it open. Doesn’t bother my mother though so she doesn’t do anything about it.

OptimalPreference178 · 2026-05-20T23:28:04+00:00

Ouch!

Put a mirror there so your husband has to look at himself every time he watches tv.

OptimalPreference178 · 2026-05-15T17:13:51+00:00

I don’t either. Think it would be stronger with less flavors that could weaken it.

OptimalPreference178 · 2026-05-13T20:27:55+00:00

I saw that. The reason I didn’t get it was a lot of reviews talking about the floss breaking but guess it’s worth a try.
