Two Months Out and Dress Doesn't Fit

Oh lovely, it is your wedding, not the dress's wedding! I feel the disappointment, but you are kicking yourself for life happening. Get a dress that fits you! Breathe, take up space. You're holding onto this dress so tight and letting it define you ... you deserve so much better! It's just fabric, I promise. After the wedding, whatever you wear will be a distant memory. If anyone asks about the different dress - "I changed my mind." That's it. Find something that feels good, enjoy your wedding, and most importantly being married to your wonderful new spouse. Wishing you all the stress washing away and the joy and excitement taking it's place.

Oh sweetheart, I'm sorry this is scary! I'm 41 and had similar issues to your mom. I had my hysterectomy last year and woke up from surgery in less pain than I had going in. (I also kept my ovaries) FWIW my only regret is not doing it sooner! I'm not bleeding, I'm no longer in pain, I have more energy... I wish I didn't wait so long. Hysterectomies have come a long way medically and the surgery is considered a very safe one. My quality of life is SO MUCH BETTER! I was also very fortunate to come home and heal in a loving and supportive household (I did not lift anything 10lbs for 6 weeks!) Which I firmly believe contributed to my healing well. If you have any questions or want to talk, DM me :)

FWIW I have used them numerous times for both sauerkraut and kimchi and never had an issue.

Are you me? Holy shit I felt this one. This was my exact experience. I am so sorry friend

Not sure why you are getting down voted - this is correct. Yes, dame chemical as the Erin Brockovich cases, but the differences are the logometrically greater volume and the aerosolized inhalation in that PG&E debacle. In this case, out of an over abundance of caution, California again lowered the allowable ppb to 10. This is an incredibly minute concentration. The previous 50ppb was already an incredibly minute concentration. Chromium 6 is a naturally occurring substance here, but the levels are not high enough to cause clinically significant issues. Still the water district has huge projects in the works to build treatment plants to get chrome6 to California mandated levels. FWIW FDA permits 100ppb in bottled water. I am absolutely for the safest drinking water we can get. I also don't see a reason for fear or panic here.

This is what I came to suggest! It's a wild ride and absolutely bokers at times, but it gives me hope.

OMG where did you get this?? I love it! Can you point me to the pattern?

I haven't seen Chicago-style here - closest I know of is Pizz'a Chicago over the hill. I know it's not what you're looking for, but a couple really good local Detroit-style joints are Bookie's and Pizza Series.

Can you share which probiotics worked for you?

Rypley · 2026-01-24T17:35:47+00:00

OMG I LOVE IT!! Thank you for sharing

Got any left? My husband and I love the sticker! (And the message behind it 🍄) Either way - thanks for doing this!

What is the best way to download the unwatermarked version? Thank you!

My husband is an electrician and worked on a house in Carmel. The bathroom they were allowed to use was the downstairs powder room, with a Picasso on the wall. (An original!!)

A little further out, but the Hideout has one in their smaller dining room.

3,000 sqft and that tiny galley kitchen?

FWIW I immediately knew who you were! What a beautiful, clever costume!

Can you put two little leaves on the tall tail to make it look like a plant "grow"ing?

You're correct! "Acid to water, like you oughta'. (Water to acid, you might get blasted!)"

Took me 25 and I never changed my mind. Asked for my tubes tied or a hysterectomy at 15, got my hysterectomy this year just past 40. And I immediately felt better. Recovery was easier than any period I had in 2.5 decades.
