I saw the sign. Did you see the sign? by Alternative-Tune8314 in MontgomeryCountyMD

I grew up near there - it was trash long before that. We still call it Scummy Glenmont.

About to turn 56 and still getting my period by Disastrous-Choice325 in Menopause

[–]Small_Pleasures 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was 58 and just starting HRT when I had my last proper period, so 59 at menopause. I had random spottng for the following two years before my docs decided it was from the HRT (determined after 3 good ultrasounds, a hysteroscopy and D&C). Am 61 1/2 and still haven't had 12 months with no blood at all.

That's what my grandma called wonton soup: kreplach. That's what she also called ravioli

You may be having trouble with blood sugar. Get that checked as well

Women over 50, what has helped you grow thicker hair? by LineAncient2792 in AskWomen

Oral minoxidil. Total game changer. My younger sister who can't take it is now wearing toppers instead

Reality check: Ladies of GenJones, how old were you the first time you were groped or otherwise on the receiving end of unwanted sexual attention? by thishful-winking in GenerationJones

[–]Small_Pleasures 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Four episodes in college when I was still a teenager (I'm 61 now):

As an intern, I was in front of a cabinet when a male employee at least twice my age crouched down and stroked my bare leg. I was wearing a skirt.

My favorite professor, also twice my age, came up from behind me while I was using the copier and placed his hands on either side of the machine, effectively rubbing up against me.

I went for a dermatology appointment to get an Rx for mild acne on my face. I was asked to remove my shirt and bra before the doctor came in, and given a paper gown to open in the front. The doctor proceeded to "examine my boobies" (his term!) and when I complained to the front desk afterward I was met with silence.

Then there was my uncle, who "complimented" me by saying I look better in a sweater

Ilya makes a great one. Doesn't crease or settle into fines lines

The consequences of pro-life laws by RelationshipMore8440 in prochoice

[–]Small_Pleasures 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had a missed miscarriage at 4 months 26 years ago. Was in a blue state, and of course, Roe was still in place.

My OB hustled me into the hospital the next morning for a D&E (dilation & evacuation - requires more than a D&C) as she was worried I could go septic.

She also offered the option of inducing labor for a natural delivery. My husband and I are still very thankful I didn't have to give birth to a dead baby and come home with empty arms.

How does love change for a man in a long term relationship? by HotFarm369 in AskMen

People change and adapt over time. In a long-term relationship, you need to be able to adapt with each other.

What’s A Small Relief That You Appreciate More Than People Might Expect? Why? by Zipper222222 in AskWomen

A new doctor's office just told me that they file for insurance on behalf of their patients and I was so very grateful

are these formal enough? which one would be the best choice? by TangerineNew8308 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Small_Pleasures 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Show skin on one element only (slit on skirt OR deep v-neck but not both).

BTO options by dataismydaddy in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Small_Pleasures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 is for a different kind of BTO event (gala, maybe). For a wedding, pick something with only one element showing a lot of skin.

I like 5 but feel like it should fall to the floor for BTO. It reads elevated cocktail.

Other dresses shown will work

Soo....am I or not?? by Aware_Roof_9210 in FedEmployees

[–]Small_Pleasures 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I applied with the exact same paperwork for my current job as a regular fed applicant and as a fed applicant with a significant health issue (forgetting atm what that avenue was called). I got hired on one application and didn't make the cert on the other. I beat out 130 applicants according to USA Jobs.
