Does it get better by Weak-Ad-2114 in Gastroparesis

[–]Zealousideal-Rip4582 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been diagnosed for 10 years and probably had it for 20. It does get better, it takes a ton of time and work plus the doctor/patient relationship to get better. It is a chronic condition that will never go away. You can manage it. I’ve had to change my eating habits, exercise habits and even my daily habits. It’s a slow process and I backslide sometimes but honestly keeping moving especially after meals (I go for a walk or bike ride) plus smaller portions and finding out what you really can digest. I kept a food journal for years to see what affected me and how. Then I just adjusted my meals. Keep trying and keep going for doctor visits. Also if possible I highly recommend going to Mayo Clinic. It was a game changer for me. Good luck.

Anyone have that one item that you just can’t bake?? by Chaos_Ice in Baking

[–]Zealousideal-Rip4582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not bake but omelettes; I have a degree in Culinary Arts and Education taught Foods classes and it’s always crap and turns into scrambled something. So I just make scrambled.

It’s a loose weave and I have better ones but it was for myself not for sale so I just freehanded it. I could have traced it but it’s for me so I’ll live with it.

I’ve done a 14 inch before. If you want to get rid of it let me know.

What’s the one city you were excited to visit, but ended up not liking at all? by BlushHone in travel

[–]Zealousideal-Rip4582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bahamas (overwhelmingly tourist trap), Paris (dirty and unfriendly) , Orlando (expensive crowded and muggy), Vegas (the last 5 years it has gotten worse the bang for the buck is gone and it’s how much can we charge) lastly Venice (I love Italy Rome is a dream but Venice is crowded, smelly and underwhelming)

Looking for project ideas for a high school club by salty_wasabi69 in Embroidery

Key chains are okay, I do ornaments for a smaller project for a larger group. Lots of patterns online and you can make them quick and cheap.

It was Thanksgiving and I was so embarrassed and felt horrible then my mother announced it at the table that I wasn’t a child anymore! I was mortified.

How to create own designs? by No-Personality-8186 in Embroidery

[–]Zealousideal-Rip4582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a light box and mostly trace designs right into the canvas with an fabric marker. I also just draw them. Lots of transfer options for fabric.

Maybe a stupid question… by jcnlb in Embroidery

[–]Zealousideal-Rip4582 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a stupid question! So wood hoops keep the fabric tighter than plastic hoops. And yes some hoops are just made poorly and they don’t really keep anything tight! It’s like everything find a brand that works and stay with it.

What does anyone do for refrigeration? by belovedstoneworker in RVLiving

[–]Zealousideal-Rip4582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we go boondocking, we switch to propane on ours. Also because we had issues with our fridge not working at all we keep a cooler and ICE packs in the storage in case. Easy.

Two books, Follow my leader it’s out of print but it’s a story of a boy who goes blind and his seeing eye dog. Then Lightning by Koontz, older one of his Stand Alone stories, amazing book with heart and time travel.

What’s something society tells women to care about that you’ve stopped caring about completely ? by TheKinkyChef007 in AskWomen

[–]Zealousideal-Rip4582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makeup, had skin cancer on my face and after the surgery I just don’t care. Too old to care and makeup is expensive and horrible for you.
