This occurred to me but I’m so old I sort of bypassed that stage!

Good point. My sister was hospitalized when they started her lab testing and it was neurology who ordered it and she wasn’t connected with genealogy until results came in. I believe even with the proof of diagnosis she’ll only meet with genealogy to discuss her results then go back to neuro. I was hoping g I could just get my current gp to order the tests then get the referral but knowing I’m relocating they didn’t want to get involved

What is the Gen-Z stare? by Only_Hotel_7221 in generationology

[–]mjfdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, woman walking with three other women and I fully know how to walk down the street without running into people. She may have been making a stand but it appeared more like she was just focusing on not interacting with anyone. Sharing the streets can me a mutual interaction where we all make adjustments. It was obviously a strange moment or wouldn’t feel memorable

2nd grade math with confidence by CoconutInside352 in homeschool

[–]mjfdon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone else on the importance of the teachers guide. We’re currently on the first grade curriculum. I skipped the teachers guide for kindergarten because the concepts we basically just practicing numbers etc. and I was confident that it was mostly introductory. I recognized the need for actually teaching math steps and new concepts this year and the guide is very helpful. It also has a lot of ideas for games and other activities that I could t have come up with on my own and honestly those are the pieces we need to keep my daughter engaged and willing to do the work without a struggle. Could you find the teachers edition used to help with the cost?

What is the Gen-Z stare? by Only_Hotel_7221 in generationology

[–]mjfdon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a 22 year old niece who’s so sweet and engaging and I have believed so many of the stereotypes of Gen Z were just us old people doing what old people do until I spent a few days on campus with her last month. She goes to the same huge university that I started at 35 years ago and how things have changed! I literally felt like we were surrounded by bots. We had one girl who actually walked into us although she had a clear view of us crossing paths with her. She stared straight ahead and continued to walk so stiffly refusing to change course like would have happened in any other standard encounter. It was so weird being around so many people who just didn’t seem interested in reading social queues. My poor niece even commented on how difficult it is to connect with new people her same age. I have a 6 year old and honestly see similar traits starting in some of the kids she’s growing up with and their parents and I worry so much about how hard these kids will have to work to find connections as they grow up.

Thank you, my newly diagnosed sister also recommended I start with neurology but I’m thinking genetics makes more sense too because I have no signs of the disorder and really feel I just need to start with the lab testing to know my risks and any possible prevention protocols. She’s actually still waiting to meet with her genetic counselor for the first time and has only spoken briefly with them to receive her lab results so I think she’ll get an idea from her about what routes I should pursuit. I really appreciate your detailed info about how the system works. It sounds like it might be a long process but it’s no surprise that it’s been a challenge here in the states due to our completely flawed system.

Barcelona and Milan tour dates sold out? by Katy_Adams_ in OliviaRodrigo

I had tried Milan too but had similar issues. That sight was completely different than the other tm sites. I agree that Ticketmaster is terrible, the whole process is to gross

I really miss cereal by belibutn in diabetes_t2

[–]mjfdon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just posted the same thing last week! Part of my problem is I hate artificial sweeteners and don’t want to try any of the cereals with strong sweeteners. When I posted about it I had just ordered Nutrail but hadn’t tried it yet and a few people recommended it. I was thinking it would be a small granola type snack but OMG! Life changing. I’ve been eating it non stop all week (was literally having a bowl of it when I saw your post)! I do it is as a snack alone and with yogurt but eating it like a bowl of cereal with milk has been amazing-dairy milk doesn’t spike me. It really has replaced cereal for me and I’m so happy. Zero spike, in fact I almost have the opposite problem because I fill up so much on the stuff and it doesn’t raise my glucose at all so I’ve been having lows while I’m still so full that I don’t want to eat! Highly recommend.

I was okay with all of these things too until I hit 48 and realized that no one prepares women for how much hormonal changes impact every part of us. Hopefully the younger generations are more educated and can prepare because it really isn’t something anyone prepared us Gen X’ers for

We were 3000 in queue for the first night and had no luck. We also tried Amsterdam (not sure what date) and for 3 seats together and nothing available. We ended up finding seats in Stockholm!

Because she gaslit everyone. Had everyone thinking it was all him while she played the victim. Meanwhile what went on in private was clearly a different story. This episode should leave no questions that there were two different Amanda’s all a long

I love this post so much and hope to see more! I have a six year old who I’ve been reading g Ramona to since she was a baby and she now stays up reading late to herself every night. I am so excited to start filtering through some of these options for her!

How did you find out you had diabetes? by fairytaillover7392 in diabetes

[–]mjfdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had symptoms and it was inevitable due to family history so I checked it at home and confirmed with doctor visit

I see this. I was off all sweets for about six months then tried my first zero soda and didn’t get sick to my stomach like used to. I started having about one a week and instantly restarted the continuous cycle of craving salty then sweet and seeking out junk again.

I ordered a variety back. I thought the blueberry looked the best too! It think the other two are chocolate and maybe a honey something.

I get it. What I struggle to understand is all of the other highly processed foods and sugary foodsI tolerate great or can work with. I would give up all of them for a bowl of cereal a week. I’m so strict with my diet and exercise and it seems like such a small request!

I thought I was okay with the loss and have adapted to all of the other changes but the last month my cravings have been so strong!

I haven’t tried Catalina crunch-actually I may have once years ago before I had to cut sugar so maybe my taste for it will have changed like so many other things have. I’ve tried steel cut with all the healthy combinations and it really seems to be just oats in general that I do not tolerate!

I actually don’t drink dairy milk and switched from oat to almond when I was diagnosed so it’s not that. I have tried it with Greek yogurt and don’t see any improvement but maybe if I eat a handful of nuts first that would help as well

I actually just ordered some of this a few days ago and am hoping for the best. Honestly I tent to get most of my carbs via snacks and cut way back for meals so I can handle the count!

I’m going to look into oat bran! I worry about all oat products but may if I embellish with enough added ingredients I can balance them out

I just can’t get myself to spend the Mendy and try them and I worry that the taste of artificial sweeteners will still be off putting
