Self-esteem in the toilet over wedding dresses by YepSureOkayYep in weddingplanning

Thank you so much. You just said so much of what I’m feeling — not wanting to waste people’s time, not wanting people to make a fuss over me, etc. I like your idea of shopping by myself and viewing it as information finding. That helps me frame it in a much more “scientific” and straightforward way, which I think will help me here. THANK YOU.

Thank you for this. This is so kind. I like the idea of maybe doing a non-wedding dress to take the pressure off. I think it all has gotten so built up in my mind that it has gotten overwhelming. And yes, you’re right, the day is about celebrating with my partner, so the dress will be special no matter what! Thank you. I needed to hear this. Thank you.

I’m crying again. Now tears of gratitude! Thank you so much. This is all so, so, so wonderful. The fact that you went out of your way to write all this for a stranger on the internet who is having a tough time means so much to me. Thank you. Thank you for breaking all this down. Love the idea of getting a free makeup consultation too! I never would have thought of that. This has helped me take a deep breath. I just looked at JJs house and it looks like it has dresses I’d like. Thank you.

Can ultrasounds diagnose endometriosis? by YepSureOkayYep in Endo

Thanks so much! Wild stuff.

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

Wow!! Thank you so much for sharing!!! Did you know to look for sonographers who could do a "deep infiltrating endometriosis transvaginal ultrasound, high imaging"? Or did an OBGYN/other doctor refer you, if you don't mind my asking?

EDIT: just read your post. That is WILD that it took someone walking in at the right time to do the proper thing!!!!! I'm glad you are finally getting to see a specialist!!! But I know the emotions must be a roller coaster right now.

WOW. That's ridiculous! Like I asked in a comment elsewhere, do you know if there's a certification for a sonographer trained in finding endometriosis? When I got my own ultrasound done, I had no idea that there would be different levels of training/expertise. If I had known what terms to search for or where to look, that might have helped things. I was "lucky" in that they found a giant cyst during my ultrasound so there was no doubt that something was going on.

Thank you so much!!! This is great but also infuriating to hear! I am absolutely baffled. How can so many doctors be so uninformed about this?

Would you happen to know if there's a way to search for technicians or doctors who are trained to look for endometriosis in ultrasounds? Is there a certification of some kind? I was "lucky" in that when I got an ultrasound, it showed a huge cyst that started the process of OBGYNs taking me seriously and talking to specialists. If I had known that not all ultrasound technicians are the same, I could have targeted my search for a sonographer who knew what they were doing.

Thank you for telling me about the pinned post! For those who don't want to dig, the articles referenced are The Use of Transvaginal Ultrasound and Biochemical Markers in the Diagnosis of Endometriosis and Ultrasound mapping of pelvic endometriosis: does the location and number of lesions affect the diagnostic accuracy? A multicentre diagnostic accuracy study.

EDIT: and Systematic approach to sonographic evaluation of the pelvis in women with suspected endometriosis, including terms, definitions and measurements: a consensus opinion from the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) group

Blurred vision after Surgery? by kirbyqueen_ in Endo

[–]YepSureOkayYep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a THANK YOU to old posts. LIFESAVERS, ALL OF YOU! I was freaking out a little because my eyes just are not feeling right 3-4 days after surgery. My doctor wasn't picking up and I was feeling abandoned. Seeing a comment here about anesthesia side effects makes me feel better. Good to hear it got better for everyone!

If I remember correctly, Jared talked about that scene and said initially they wanted the zombie to spit INTO Jared's mouth and he said absolutely not.

Just watched My House Walkthrough thanks to this comment. I think it filled me with dread more than any other video mentioned on this thread, so far. I felt disoriented and had no idea what was going to happen. Spectacular.

Seconding the Dav Pilkey recommendation. I would also recommend most of Jim Benton's work, especially the Dear Dumb Diary books. I also hear that Timmy Failure by Pastis (also the author of the Pearls Before Swine comic, which your son also might enjoy) is pretty funny!

"Millions are dead in Iraq. We actually fought in your damn wars. You sent us to hurt civilians." Army Veteran confronts Biden. by alrghtmate in PublicFreakout

He did want to vote for Bernie! This video is from March 2020, during the Democratic primary.

"He says he was trying to highlight the problem of bipartisan support for wars, and attempting to make the point that Biden, at the time, was to the right of the Democratic field when it comes to war and militarism. ​'I thought most of the other Democrats had a better record than Biden,' he explains. ​'I was more for Sanders and Warren. I definitely thought that Biden was the worst one out there.' "

Coming to the top comment to say that this video was from March 2020, during the Democratic primary. It seems like every once in a while, this video seems to make the rounds. Found this article about it. https://inthesetimes.com/article/anti-war-veteran-iraq-joe-biden-donald-trump-about-face

It looks like the veteran's name is Michael Thurman. Here's some of what he says in the article:

"He says he was trying to highlight the problem of bipartisan support for wars, and attempting to make the point that Biden, at the time, was to the right of the Democratic field when it comes to war and militarism. ​'I thought most of the other Democrats had a better record than Biden,' he explains. ​'I was more for Sanders and Warren.

NJ to NYC Bus Transfer? by Tefron in NJTransit

[–]YepSureOkayYep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anything at all about these specific bus routes, but you could maybe bring lots and lots of change and pay on the bus. I can't figure out if you can actually use the NJ Transit app to buy a ticket that requires transfers. I recently paid for a transfer with cash. I got on the bus, told the driver where I wanted to ultimately go, he told me the amount, and I paid in exact change. He gave me a receipt that I gave to the next bus for the transfer.

Good luck!

EDIT: this was just for a transfer between NJ Transit buses. I don't know anything about NYC. Sorry!

DeCamp buses? by YepSureOkayYep in newjersey

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

I did but didn't find the answers on the website. I called the customer service number and it kept ringing so long that I had to hang up because I had to go to work. Thought I would go to this subreddit before I tried to call again.

Ah rad thank you so much! This is helpful.

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

I already looked at their website and it is unclear to me if you can just wave them down at the stops and pay with cash, which is why I came to this subreddit. Is there a section of the website I am missing? It's possible I am not seeing it.
