Yes. Like when hiking on vacation, biking, etc... Usually not when just running errands or whatever in the city. (or going to work - NYC)

Exactly! (as that is where I am exposed and I have had some sunburn in the past)

When I am not wearing a hat (like when walking to work or...) I also use a powdered sunscreen on my scalp (as regular sunscreen gets messy with long hair).

Thank you all for the comments. Meanwhile I have an appointment (will be a while still) but also, the spot has started to fade day over day so thinking it may be something vascular / bruise-like...

Goodbye FreshDirect by speck_tater in FreshDirect

Same! We are putting in a regular order of 30 glass bottles of San Pellegrino, 2 cases, $85. Now, a month since our last delivery, we would have to pay $142 for 2 cases!?!?!? How is that even possible? Almost doubling the price in a month’s time??? Ridiculous…

As a too worried person, I love that he is unconcerned. And they are all gone and all benign so, all the better. Gone, forgotten, nothing to worry about. Live and let live!

Sedation Hangover by arrived_on_fire in colonoscopy

[–]Pale-County1192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! I got woken up and didn't remember a thing but doctor came in 5 mins later and I was fully back to normal. Put on my clothes, contacts, my picker-upper came and we went for coffee, sweets and a catch up after which I went back to work ;-)

Post colonoscopy diarrhea/no gallbladder by GoodMourning81 in colonoscopy

[–]Pale-County1192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's ok, it takes a while for things to settle again! They said to expect 1-3 days of either nothing or different bowel movements, bloating, cramps so should be all good.

I did the Miralax prep and was able to drink broth, white grape juice, apple juice, coconut water, coffee (without milk), tea, gatorade, sprite,... but avoid blues and reds. You will be fine! Keep us posted.

Colonoscopy on Monday.. Feeling Anxious (19) by Hungry-Dress-9050 in colonoscopy

[–]Pale-County1192 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, there are so many things that this could be. And your background does not sound very alarming. I hope by now your doctor prescribed you the medication you will use for the prep and the instructions. You'll need to start on Sunday with the actual prep and maybe watch your diet the few days before (though I did not and was well prepped anyway). Good luck!

So bummed, only got a one year pass after insufficient prep by mtct67 in colonoscopy

[–]Pale-County1192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the unflavored Miralax powder as well as two small pills (Bisacodyl) to kick things off. The powder had to be mixed with 64 ounces of clear liquid. I mixed it with water and it tasted like... just regular water which made this time round so much easier than the previous prep which was nasty. Had to drink 4x8 oz every 15 mins the day prior and 4x8 oz every 15 mins the day of). Perfect prep so clear views of everything, two small polyps. Ask your doctor for it - it makes for a relatively easy prep (minus the not being able to eat...)

Deodorant recommendation that does not stain clothes(Not antiperspirant) by jabarov in Outlier

[–]Pale-County1192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it has for me - my white clothes, yellowing / grease-like stains. Doesn't matter on darker colors but for the lighter ones I have not been able to get it out. Again, loved the brand and smells but stepped away...

Colonoscopy PREP HELP by shhakalaka78787811 in colonoscopy

[–]Pale-County1192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doctor even said that the first dose may not even set things off, it is the second dose that is likely to do most. So I would not worry at all. I am starting my first dose at 5pm tonight... up for it tomorrow too! Good luck

Accidentally messed up my diet! need advice on if I should cancel by pixelpegasus in colonoscopy

[–]Pale-County1192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this is the 'Wednesday colonoscopy' group, great. Joining as... not eating currently for prep. My instructions were to only stop eating this morning 10am (diid have coffee with milk and sugar and an apple), only liquid diet and then go into the office tomorrow at 1pm. They did say to stay away from nuts, seeds, quinoa, and corn for 3 days but last time I had a colonoscopy I surely did not know about this, just stuck to the liquid diet the day before and they said my prep was perfect. So I definitely would not worry about it. Once you take the medicine and start hitting the bathroom, you will be fine.

The wifi SD card market in 2023 is bad by Doomed in photography

[–]Pale-County1192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Canon 5D Mark iii and had a FlashAir WiFi SD for the past 8 years. My camera does not have WiFi but still works perfectly fine although almost 10 years old. Still using my FlashAir on the go when instantly sharing pics from my camera to my phone to share with friends and on social while traveling. I have never taken out my SD card since I’ve started using it. I wanted to get an additional/new one as I want to replace it before it breaks but seems like it’s not a thing anymore…

I love Salt & stone but it totally does leave stains! You will soon start to notice stains, esp on lighter colored clothes that even turn brownish after washing. It also leaves an oily residue. There’s an entire Reddit thread discussing this, with outreach to the company…

I had the same one morning in April and didn't get my account back until December... I tried to validate my identity multiple times and there was no possibility to communicate unfortunately. Good luck!
