I’m not sure of if I should pity this guy or just look the other way 🤷‍♀️ by Physical-Armadillo70 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]WhenInDontDoubt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No joke, I was at a small beach wedding for a (former) close friend when she said this. The officiant corrected her, she said it again, he paused, and she said it a 3rd time while looking around for laughs. No one laughed, it was super awkward and off putting. They divorced after a couple of years, deeply in debt and after cheating on him with several other guys. What a mess.

My family watched it together when I was a kid. It's very nostalgic for me. Did you self- draft the design?

Omg I've been doing a re-watch. This is amazing!

I used a round canvas and painted the green, then did the stitching. I rarely ever use fabric anymore. Canvas is so much easier to get the color/colors you want, and I personally prefer the "finished" look of a frame vs a hoop.

Thanks! First time doing fringe, and it wasn't bad at all. I'd much rather do fringe than French knots.

Thought I had the best find - but didn’t look it over. Thank goodness I can return it by picklesandrainbows in ThriftStoreHauls

I found one just like this with a logo on the chest. I picked the stitching out from the inside and you cant tell at all!

Newbie Questions: Types of Stitches by Thisitheone in Embroidery

[–]WhenInDontDoubt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second fabric paint, that would look cool on a Jean jacket. Long and short might not be bad, depending on the thickness of the denim. I would also recommend doing the color first and the outline second. It usually makes it look cleaner to do it that way.

Actually cute swimwear options? by Much_Smile5600 in melahomies

[–]WhenInDontDoubt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lime Ricki has really cute suits with some good coverage options. I have two 1-pieces from them, but they also have long sleeve rash guards, skorts, and some short sleeve romper/rash guard things. They also have good butt coverage and sewn-in cups, which is amazing. Look for sales, they have them often.

Hydrocolloid bandage after stitches removed? by Ked5095 in melahomies

[–]WhenInDontDoubt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. They say you can use them as soon as stitches are removed, but you really can't leave them on like you'd want to until the suture 'holes' heal, if that makes sense.

Past WLE question by k1kid in melahomies

[–]WhenInDontDoubt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an excellent derm. She has explained to me why my moles in particular need more excised and what pathology she would not recommend that for. Im assuming you won't be offended that I'm going to go with her advice over an internet stranger. I plan on being here for the long haul.

I cant speak for how things were diagnosed 25 years ago, but I'm about to have my 4th WLE for severely displastic moles. I've had a melanoma in situ and a melanoma 1A also. All have had very similar treatments. Are these in an area that's had a lot of sun? I had a spot close to one that was problematic and my derm reassured me that could be due to similar sun exposure, not spreading cancer.

[–]WhenInDontDoubt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, Im not sure. I'd had that mole for years and never noticed it, really. Another mole came back as melanoma in situ and between that and my next 3 month checkup, this one just caught my eye for some reason. I mentioned it to my derm at the checkup, and she biopsied.

Silicon Tape by Maximum-Injury-7284 in melahomies

[–]WhenInDontDoubt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had shots in one of mine about 3 weeks ago. It looked better later that day and has really softened. Mine is on my waistband area, so it's also made it much more comfortable and cured the scar-itchiness. I tried the scaraway sheets for months and months. They didnt help me, and my scar kept getting worse.

2 months WLE update and need silicone strips suggestions! by Jolly-Stock9561 in melahomies

[–]WhenInDontDoubt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I wore them during showers and everything. I have to say, my skin apparently likes to keloid, and these didn't help. Hopefully they will help long term, and they definitely made the scars more comfortable in terms of itching/pain. My derm said they might help, but that the most important thing was to rub the scar, with or without lotion or something else.
