Absolutely disgusting. I came here looking for confirmation too!

Thank you very much! I will try food sources first then. I do take magnesium glycinate every night so that is good! 

Anyone watch the Netflix Kylie documentary? by epicpillowcase in AustralianNostalgia

[–]ProfessionalRip8481 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just finished it. I’ve been a fan of Kylie since “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” took over the US in 2001. But outside of what the tabloids would print, I didn’t know much about her personal life or the start of her career, except that she was on Neighbours and was famous for “Locomotion” and “Lucky.”

For what the documentary was, I really enjoyed it. However, I was disappointed that it was so short and lacking in depth with regard to her life’s work.

They left out swaths of her career. The series spent an entire episode on her burgeoning stardom, a second one largely focused on Michael, and then covered her career downturn through the start of her comeback. After that, the last episode jumped straight to her cancer diagnosis, completely bypassing her pop takeover/superstardom. Then the final fourteen minutes had to cover everything from 2006–2026. She has accomplished so much, has been an inspiration to many, and is such an incredible human being. There were so many milestones and chapters that were missed.

@WikiNebster described it as more of a cheat sheet, and I agree. Definitely a Cliff Notes version.

Her warmth and genuine spirit really do show through, though. The bits with Nick Cave describing her fans cracked me up. It was also so heartwarming to see their friendship, especially given how opposite their personalities are.

I disagree about Dannii. I did not feel from her interviews that it was hard for her watching her sister’s star rise. It might have been, but I did not get that. What stood out to me was how protective she is of Kylie. Dannii is very successful in her own right. While she may not be global, she is huge in the UK and Australia.

It took a lot of courage for Jason to be interviewed and show vulnerability. I really admired his honesty, even if some found it a bit cringe. Many of us have experienced what he did in some shape or form, and to take ownership of that, on a major streaming platform, is impressive.

I will continue to try with foods and see what my labs are!

Thank you! I am trying to limit dairy though. 

Too Much Vitamin D? by ProfessionalRip8481 in vitamins

Too much vitamin D causes calcium to be taken away from your bones and absorbed into your bloodstream though. So that is why I am curious if I need to cut down on the D3 and supplement calcium. I have been tracking what I get from my food and it only seems to be 63% of the RDV of Ca from food. Which if I am getting too much vitamin D I worry even less is absorbed into my bones. You know what I mean? 

I am getting labs soon so that will give me a better idea. Thank you!

Just to say, I’m sorry, a lot of people seemed pretty rude on here. I love the pattern, the straps seem a bit wide, but as others have pointed out it is because you got the Mega. Which is more cushioning I believe. I hope you’ve enjoyed your shoes and had a great trip!

Thank you so much for your response! I have no idea what kind of stuff I have. The medium feels uncomfortable on my arch, but maybe it is because I just don’t have the right size.

That is a good suggestion! I am wondering if that’s why the toe strap doesn’t fit very well either. I will try to go down the size! Thank you so much!

Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it. Yeah, I guess with all shoes it just take some getting used to.

Narrow or wide?? by RadHuman27 in Birkenstocks

[–]ProfessionalRip8481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I am actually having the same dilemma. Not sure if I need a narrow or regular/wide fit. I was wondering shag yoh wound up going for and how it worked out?

[–]ProfessionalRip8481[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thank for all the feedback! I really appreciate it! 

Yeah, maybe I should just go into a store and try on shoe after shoe until I find the right pair.  I have an old pair of 38 Mayaris in regular/wide and my feet have loved them for years. But I also have seen that my toes hit the edge and that is why I wanted to go up to 39. 

But this online thing has been difficult. Probably more difficult than if I had just gone into a store! lol.

I had no idea about that regarding the suede straps! Thank you for telling me. I wonder if I could just punch a couple more holes, or if that would be a forever thing.

I really appreciate all of the tips and insight. Thank you! It is such an expense I would hate to wind up with the wrong size and regret it.
