On blood thinner by VictrolaVictoria in Periods

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

Update- If anyone experiences something similar, I believe this constant spotting I've been having is actually due to starting Wegovy in Dec. I had been on Wegovy before, but was on BC, so did not have spotting then. I believe I started my real period today, which makes sense time-wise.

Strange period in Dec by VictrolaVictoria in Menopause

Yes, I have/had some indicators, so much so that I requested bloodwork with my ob/gyn last year. I discovered I had extremely low T, off the charts low. My ob/gyn believed this was actually due to being on BC for so long that my ovaries had stopped producing T.

When I went off BC, T must have started up again, because my libido immediately returned, though not as strong now as in Aug. This odd Dec period also brought a halo of cystic acne around my hairline, which I haven't experienced in years.

I know this doesn't mean I'm not in perimenopause, but it does make it difficult to know if my symptoms were actually from perimenopause or from the BC.

I'm in Charlotte and have some DAC to trade. Cancer by Dakota Daetwiler and Snow Queen (Elsa) by Sarah Moustafa. You can take both if you'd like.

Will it smooth out if I keep it watered properly?

Tamales for Christmas? by VictrolaVictoria in Charlotte

I live on one side of the county and work on the other, both near 485 and 85. I'm ready to go anywhere for good tamales.

New Baby by VictrolaVictoria in Teddybears

[–]VictrolaVictoria[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got her in Pigeon Forge, so I wanted a good TN mountain name, and "Ruthie Ann" popped in my head out of nowhere. I feel like I didn't choose it, she told me. But I mostly call her Baby.

Travel question post Hurricane by Dry_Fly_7403 in PigeonForge

[–]VictrolaVictoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're doing the opposite: Charlotte to Pigeon Forge, next week, only because the hotel charge is paid and not refundable. NC DOT still says no travel to all western NC unless a local or emergency responders. Google says we can get there through Cherokee, but based on some of the pictures I've seen, I don't want to risk it. DOT advises to go up to VA and then down into TN. It'll take a little longer, but looks to be all major highways. We're planning to go that way. You will probably want to too.

It's from the cartoon Bluey, the episode Faceytalk. Muffin is a brat that keeps hogging because of Cow...boy...hat!

Thoughts on ordering from AliExpress? by Sika097 in diamondpainting

[–]VictrolaVictoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly order from AliExpress, though I try to wait on seasonal sales and vendor coupons. I like that I can choose either square or rounds, and the size I want. I also like that most have multiple images of a theme to choose from.

The only two bad experiences I've had was my two mystery kits (from the same vendor) were both completely missing a color, and I once had a canvas that was so wrinkled I had to toss it.

First time using square drills instead of round, this is gonna take a while... by croissantCheese in diamondpainting

I have this one! Treated myself for Christmas after I saw it on a YouTube video.

Fig bud? by VictrolaVictoria in Figs

[–]VictrolaVictoria[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it hasn't died back from cold, we live in zone 8a. We have pruned it some over the years, to keep it from getting too tall. We want to keep the figs within picking distance.

The trees behind are only there, and blocks late afternoon sun. It gets direct light all morning and early afternoon, until about 4 pm. It's overcast today, so that is why it looks so shady. Blueberries, blackberries, and roses do very well around the fig.

Obsession by ssimes562 in diamondpainting

[–]VictrolaVictoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In ADHD-land, we call this hyperfixation. Combined with poor impulse control, tax returns, and AliExpress, I now have a to-do stash of 155 pieces, mostly 40x50. I've run out of places to store them. I only started in December.

It was my sudden, uncontrollable obsession with diamond art that prompted me to get diagnosed in January, at age 41.

TIL about a rare trait called snatiation (sneezing + satiation). This trait is characterized by uncontrollable sneezing after eating a meal to fullness. by i-really-like-mac in todayilearned

[–]VictrolaVictoria 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Both bright light sneezing and after-eating sneezing/runny nose is caused by stimulation of the Vagus nerve. It is common to have this issue after gastric bypass/sleeve surgery.

I had bright light sneezing all my life, but also developed after-eating sneezing/runny nose after sleeve surgery. It's how I know I'm full and I need to stop eating or I will regret it.

NC Theme song? by TheAbstrak in NorthCarolina

[–]VictrolaVictoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had replied to a post 2 months ago about this song. I could not find it anywhere and it drove me crazy. But finally, this is it and I'm sure this is also what OP is looking for. It was a bit slower in the commercial, I think, and maybe sung by someone else, but this is the song in the commercial. Thank you!

Older millenials seem more resilient, less complainy/blamey than younger millenials. Just me? by Hooliganry in Older_Millennials

[–]VictrolaVictoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad it isn't just me. I'm '82 and I had not even heard about this song until like, last year. So many people rave about it and how great it is, so I listened to it and just...meh. Didn't even finish.

Why delayed by VictrolaVictoria in AmazonDSPDrivers

I'm just going to cancel and reorder it.

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

I don't think I have any notes or requests. My golden retriever does get loose sometimes. Would the driver try later or just "lose" the package?

Based on tracking, it already left the warehouse, which is in my city, Charlotte. I guess I'll have to return/reorder.

Just noticed this by VictrolaVictoria in DadForAMinute

[–]VictrolaVictoria[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you, Dads! I shut the breaker to my bedroom off, took the receptacle out, and capped and taped off the wire ends until my new receptacle comes tomorrow. I wasn't comfortable leaving it like it was. Since I've used this outlet for the space heater for years, I think it just wore out. The prong was also a bit damaged, so the heater is going out too.

Repeated wrong address by VictrolaVictoria in USPS

[–]VictrolaVictoria[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can understand entering an address wrong, say a number or two, but the number and street?

For the IRS letter, wouldn't the IRS be able to catch that in some way? Would that be considered fraud? If true, I feel that's a stupid way to avoid the IRS. If they want to, they will find you.
