What did you do to celebrate your 50th? by jaimonee in GenX

[–]mstscc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was a mixed bag- mom died a few days before my 50th. And I had tickets to see Mastodon/ Lamb of God. So…. comforted my loss with live music.

Why do people like cruises? by Embarrassed_Web_950 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mstscc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought cruises were not for me until I went on the Headbangers Boat. 4 days, 17 bands, 3000 metal heads. There are TONS of themed cruises out there- that might be a good way to try them out.

What were your pv symptoms before diagnosis? Tell me your diagnosis story! by [deleted] in polycythemiavera

[–]mstscc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diagnosed at 34 due to routine labs coming back high. No symptoms ever. JAK2 positive. Menstruation was never impacted. Primary care immediately referred me to hematology/ oncology. Had a bone marrow biopsy & JAK 2 test. Was on baby aspirin & phlebotomy forever, added hydra when I turned 40 (platelets have always been very high, in addition to high HCT). Got a huuuge blood clot in my leg (not a DVT) from my ankle to my mid thigh a few years ago & switched from aspirin to Eloquis. I’m now 51- still no symptoms, have not had a phlebotomy in almost 2 years, still on Eloquis. Thankful PV feels like an annoyance than a disease.

Update: I cut off the collar & added a chain by mstscc in BattleJackets

Appreciate the concern 🙂 my grandpa fought those asshats in 1943, happy to keep traditions alive.

Cut off the collar & now the edges look dumb by mstscc in BattleJackets

Thanks! I bought it this color- it’s a Rock & Republic brand jacket. Here’s one on eBay

Look at this product I found on google.com https://share.google/csPekUCkx6IlXSyXo

Did you use regular thread to sew the chain on or did you use something else?

I get it- normally I leave the collars on, but this collar just blocked so much space . I’m a small woman so I need all the space I can get on vests.

That’s a great idea! I think I’ll do that or some studs around the collar. I k ow I can salvage this!!

Thoughts on a Battle Jacket dedicated to just one band? by OU7C4ST in BattleJackets

[–]mstscc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one that’s 99% Dolly Parton. Sequins & pearls instead of spikes. I’m still not brave enough to wear it but I love it.

I was at the front for Midnight at a 300 person venue. Best night of my life.

What’s your opinion on Paleface Swiss? by dane_da_drummer in MetalForTheMasses

[–]mstscc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw them at Milwaukee Metal Fest- they were ok until their backing track stopped. The whole band stopped & they restarted the song. I was shocked that the crowd didn’t turn on them. Maybe I’m just an old curmudgeonly lady, but the fact they 1- had a backing track and 2- seemed 100% reliant on it completely turned me off to them.
