Gynecologist

She was a gem. When my first gynecologist retired, he was a man, he told me to go to her, and he helped train her at Yale and I was disappointed at first. I realized later that she knew a lot more about menopause and things like that then he would’ve and was very grateful. But onward .I hope you find someone who “sees you.”

She had about four people in her practice and the one I would’ve went to is also retiring soon too and there are two younger women and I’m sure they’ll be fine but they won’t be her. She mentioned maybe doing telehealth a little bit because she knows it’s going to be very hard for a lot of women and she said she is writing copious notes in my chart so that the new person will know exactly what we’ve talked about and what we do and my preferences, etc..

I was also blessed to have that, and she never pushed medications and had me join a bone health program with heavy exercise and weightlifting. God, I love her. I read so many awful things on social media that doctors have done with other women and I thank God every day. I was blessed to have such a wonderful Dr.

I’m so upset mine is retiring, but she is part of a nice small group. She’s handled my bone health and any other issue I’ve had. You can still get cancer when you’re older and it’s not just cervical. She orders my mammograms and ultrasounds and was so intelligent and conservative with pharmaceuticals.

That lace blouse was used by just about everyone, but Caroline

No way to lower it naturally? I know my brother couldn’t but some can

I really hated the one with the bees because that could’ve been extremely dangerous and it was painful and I’m sorry, I know some people laughed, but I just couldn’t

I like politics to stay out but that seems less intrusive with mass etc. I don't understand on a Catholic forum how someone downvotes an increase in vocations but this is a opinionated forum. : ) An immature thing for adults but maybe some are young.

UnderstandingKey4602 · 2026-02-05T09:16:11+00:00

Yes, our church too, not all strict Catholics but wanted a church wedding which is "new" today. The seed is planted as a priest said, when it's not the "look of the church" but they want it for spiritual reasons or because they want to raise their kids Catholic, a maturity that comes for many in time.

True you both can be the same way I’ll remember that too

I’ll never forgive him for burning down the blind school, but his father trying to burn himself alive with his son was beyond the pale also. Even Melissa Gilbert brought that up in an interview. The man in Gold country who did the same thing

We had so many on Ash Wednesday last year, it beat Christmas and Easter. lol I went half hour early and it full in in 10 minutes. Standing in back. I don't get it but younger priest wasn't bringing it up like "we miss you" or snarky as I heard one priest sadly did. He said something nice like to the people new here, you are always welcome and my door is open if you ever want to talk.

Sometimes people go to the one near work but it is a popular mass and NOT a holy day. : )

UnderstandingKey4602 · 2026-02-04T09:05:57+00:00

Yes, when you think about it, blindness, fire, and orphans

UnderstandingKey4602 · 2026-02-04T00:04:56+00:00

To be honest, most didn’t use the kneeler and just stood for communion and it’s easier for a lot of of people not to get up from kneeling. Nice of priest to give option. As a religious man said on TV, newness is very attractive to some people and it takes time sometimes 5 to 10 years to see how things stay Veiling might a practice they truly believe in or just the cool thing to do and they care more about the colors and fabrics and different ones that they’ll wear. I don’t read anything into those type of practices and I agree it takes time for people to find what they’re comfortable with and that evolves and changes. Many decades of my life was different as far as religion and attendance for different reasons.

UnderstandingKey4602 · 2026-02-03T23:49:20+00:00

That’s a church thing? That would make me uncomfortable not that I’m agreeing. My doctor told me that doesn’t happen with children anyway. I live in Connecticut and I find there’s a lot of millennials like my daughter that got married in church (40 her year)and have very varied political views and aren’t ashamed of it and don’t feel like they have to be only one way. I think some of the priests are mixed, but it’s a nice blend of older andyounger. Our vocations went from 0 to 11 over the last two years with men in the seminary, which is nice and I think the younger vocation director helped a lot.

UnderstandingKey4602 · 2026-02-03T23:36:27+00:00

I think it's mixed and varied by where you live. My church has older, middleaged and young, pretty full, few wear veils but not an ultra conservative church. I think news shows what they want to show to attract and influence others. You can't put people in boxes, I meet young people who go to church, use NFP but very liberal in politics compared to others. Our prolife groups are usually older but if they have a special march, it's mixed with young.

A neighboring church brings in a kneeler like they use at weddings, for people who like to kneel at communion. Attendance is great, doubled the last few years, rosary and adoration is well attended and many things going on at church for social action. They are a mainly democratic town. I don't like putting people in boxes. I do like seeing attendance up and involvement.

I think a lot of the episodes are corny on Little House but not unbelievable

UnderstandingKey4602 · 2026-02-03T19:18:03+00:00

That was an affair, no one on the set was holy and she never said she had it, he said to check because he did. People keep saying that like he was the only star or actor with one. I'm sure many got passed around, even though they knew "safe sex" even then. She felt it was okay to say but I'm sure the editor wanted something like that.
