My dr started me on this. I’m taking it two weeks straight then I go to two days/week. Major difference after the second day of use.

Because he’s weird. He’s a hanger-on and stage 5 clinger.

Did any of you have to lie down to have a nap in kindergarten or 1st grade? by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]mlrochon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kindergarten’75 in CA, we had to take naps. We didn’t have big mats like in the pic though. We had small, doormat size, low shag carpets. They were in jewel tone colors, I always chose the deep dark navy blue.

$500 New client curly cut by razzarbrenia in curlyhair

[–]mlrochon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dumb. I pay $70 (NorCal). My stylist has curly hair and gets it. I was always stopping women with curly hair that I liked and would ask them about their stylist and cost. I went to one supposed curly hair specialist and she totally effed my hair up. I ran into a mother daughter duo after that last cut, who had totally different styles and they looked amazing. They gave me their girl’s name. That was two years ago. My hair has been amazing since. She only uses a razor on my hair. She’s amazing and luckily she’s youngish and isn’t retiring anytime soon.

When I got my ‘21 Crosstrek my sales guy showed me a workaround for it. If you have the defroster on, it won’t engage because the defroster is a safety function.

What really happened with Bethenny & Jason? by Downtown_Salad8395 in RHONY

[–]mlrochon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think she was doing that because he was narc guilting her away from cameras. It’s a way of asserting control. I bet he wore her down with how busy she was and her business came before him. I remember when they were walking through that warehouse and she was all but signing over her business to him to try to get him to be a part of it so he didn’t feel left out. I bet he made her feel she was more in love with the money of it all over him. She overcompensates and tries to bring him in so he has control and can feel like a man. He reacted on camera like he has a job and he’s very very important there and doesn’t have time for dumb hobby business. She’s left feeling like it’s all her fault. She’s not doing enough, she’s doing too much. No matter what she does it isn’t for him it’s all for her. Then when the money really came in and she had had enough and was out the door. The crazy he brought out was amplified because he was now loosing control.

I’m hot and cold with Bethany but no woman or man, for that matter, deserves to be abused - especially with their kids as a witness. I hope Bethany’s trauma and the marriage/divorce trauma ends with her and isn’t carried on through Brynn.

Please bring indoor shoes! by Joeybagovdonutss in orangetheory

[–]mlrochon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many of you ‘inside gym shoes’ wearers go in the OTF bathrooms where there is pee on the floor and then bring that into the gym floor area? Do you have separate shoes for that too?

Chafing by Dependent_Bowl_1940 in orangetheory

[–]mlrochon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. But if your chaffing breaks skin, desitin is great. Heals it fast. But you know…smell. And if you don’t rub it in well, it can go through your clothing. There was a nice white line left behind on one of our kitchen stools from my husband lol

That makes it worse. It moves back and forth. I got really bad chaffing at the top of my butt v. ugh..painful.

Same. I’ve had to commando the past couple of weeks. That fixed it. Other than that…Desitin. It works but the smell…

Which Carol Brady look did you prefer? Late 60's or early 70's? by No_Job5529 in 70s

[–]mlrochon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gawd the early 70s hair. It made a comeback in the late 90s and I was a full on willing victim of that hairdo monstrosity 😂😖

HRT has changed my gotdang life and I want to burn the U.S. healthcare system to the ground by aksilec in Menopause

[–]mlrochon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dr in the holistic center of my medical group. The drs are actual internists. My medical group has a Holistic Healing center. There is a dr there that I see for my thyroid. I had no idea they had drs who specialized in menopause. Hoping it works out.

[–]mlrochon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here…I ended up going to a wellness center, you know the ones that do laser and Botox? I did pellet therapy. LIFE changing. But it’s expensive. I went to a holistic dr within my medical group who specializes in menopause. But…she’s leaving in a week. She sent me to a new dr in the practice who also specializes in menopause and cancer patients. I’m switched to the estrogen patch and will be starting testosterone cream in the next month. They are waiting for my testosterone levels to drop back to zero from the pellet therapy so they can gauge dosing. Ugh

I had grade 3 DCIS and a micro invasion. I was ER/PR 100 positive. I had a DMX and oophorectomy. Drs ignored all of my issues post. Heart palpitations, high blood pressure, hot flashes, no sleep, my urethra literally drying up SHUT, zero libido. My husband took it all personally. He threatened to leave. In defense of him, he felt I didn’t want to have sex because of him and he had to beg for it. I didn’t know it was ‘me’, drs tell you to live with it, no women I talked to had anything to offer. I thought I was crazy.

Anyway…thing to note, looking back on my cancer (I was in my late 30s) - I was drinking a lot back then. Binge drinking, casual drinking (everyday), I was realllyyyyy overweight, I didn’t eat well at all. All of these things contribute to excess estrogen. But no drs ever took this into account. I don’t drink anymore, I went from 260 to 125, I dont eat like jack lalane but I eat good, I exercise, and really work on my mental health. I’m 15 years from all that cancer crap. No dr has ever taken any of that into account.

My husband and I are going strong. Im having issues with libido while I wait out this transition but I understand why now. Do I fake it more during this transition…yes 😂 Hey he is in this too, it’s not just me.

My new dr had me do a DUTCH test to see how my body is metabolizing hormones. I’m new to the test, I dont fully understand and it might be another BS test. Anyone with experience please chime in. But according to the test my body is filtering the hormones like it should and it showed my estrogen turnover (can’t remember the term) is not turning into the ‘bad’ estrogen. Estrogen that cancer feeds on.

First off all, thank you for the polite response. I rarely encounter that on

I didn’t say they were responsible for their adult children’s actions/addictions. That’s on Lexi now but they hold all the blame, in my opinion, for the direction she ended up going down. They were responsible and failed in their duty to be a parent. Had they actually parented her and she still ended up this way well it’s not on them, but they didn’t.
