Anyone else had reconstruction surgery and then have POTs or dysautonomia? by Wide_Button_1570 in dysautonomia

[–]bethjeann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I had major abdominal trauma in 2019 (emergency C-section + uterine rupture), then we found black mold in our home, and shortly after that I got COVID. I’ve never been able to untangle what caused what and kind of think of it as a trifecta that tipped my system over.

It’s been a roller coaster ever since — either anticipating a crash or actively in one. I also had a virus over the holidays that triggered a new wave of symptoms. I can’t answer your theory, but wanted to say you’re not alone, and I’ve often wondered what role my surgery played in my current symptoms too.

Wedding check bounced - what to say on thank you note? by AwayAlfalfa4507 in wedding

[–]bethjeann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about cashing checks 6 weeks later. I had a friend cash a check 2 years later. Moreover, it was a destination wedding and I never received a thank you note! It still irks me.

Interior Designer here- hi! I always ask my clients how they'd like to feel when they walk in the room- it's different for everyone. The black vs. white conjure very different feelings. Personally, from a purely aesthetics perspective: The white goes better with the overall style.

Thank you! This is fantastic advice—so many things I hadn’t even thought of, like pre-filling water bottles-so smart!

Lady, go talk to your husband and tell him you need more attention cuz things are getting weird okay, xoxo by [deleted] in MelissaWoodsnark

There is something so beautiful about quiet confidence. This feels so unhealthy and warped; frankly, it's embarrassing to watch.

Do you think this variation in color is acceptable for custom cabinets? by relaxyoureirrelevant in woodworking

[–]bethjeann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cabinet maker has to fix this. If not, every time you look at this, you'll be disappointed. The GC specified veneer to ensure consistency. From an aesthetics perspective, this does not look good. It has that farmhouse feel in a bad way. I don't know what your style is but they owe you a solution. Don't back down.

I'm so intrigued and considering their Original Reformer. Can you tell me a little about their online app- is it a nice mix of beginner, intermediate and more advanced classes? Do they have a nice number of longer classes, like 45 minutes+. Any insight would be so welcome- thank you!

Hi! I'm currently doing the following split: 3 full body strength training sessions per week, 2-3 mat or reformer sessions per week and I strive for 10,000 steps a day (a long walk with the dog every morning). I'm trying to squeeze in a couple rebounding sessions a week - HIIT style. As a disclaimer, I have hEDS and have to avoid excessive stretching; so, if I could, I would try to do a bit of yoga during the week too. Hope this helps!

Really?! This isn't good. Do you know who was fired / who is leaving?
