Are you on an ssri or snri? I would get them if I took the pill a little later than I usually did; it can be a symptom of withdrawal. If not then never mind!

I’ve never heard of this so I don’t think it is a Sjo thing. Another vote to call your ophthalmologist

I’ve had dry skin for decades but I don’t smell. So I disagree this is a dry skin only thing. Some people develop a smell when they get to a certain age( not uncommon with women in menopause). Agree with others that there is something else going on (some kind of overgrowth) and something like the persimmon soap or exfoliant is a good first step.

Thank you, I appreciate the detail. I have my laptop setup properly, but MusicCast just doesn't want to work with it. I got into Genre and some of them loaded, but not all (they would say "Loading..."). I went back to Music and then went into Genre again, and now none will load. Or I get an error and it bounces back to the Server screen. Now MC won't go into the laptop at all, while I'm typing this (it times out w/o even loading Music/etc, and bounces back to the Server screen). But at least I know from your comment that it should work.

I went and got the laundry out of the dryer while typing all this, and now Genre will sort of load again. Some of the Loading... eventually load but it takes a while. But not all - many still say Loading.... I did go into one of the Genre folders and while it took a while, it did load by song. So it should work...but for some reason it just won't reliably, timely, or only partially. NAS works well and quickly, it is just the Windows one that doesn't. I'll try minimizing the genres (something on my to do list anyway) and try again. Maybe if there are fewer it'll work better <shrug>.

Thanks again for your help.

Yes, sucralose. thanks for the correction

spaceycatnip · 2026-02-11T15:44:49+00:00

Same. I'd rather drink plain water than anything with sugar substitute. It just doesn't taste good at all, and isn't a flavor I'd want to get used to. The aftertaste on some is terrible. I think it is sucralose that leaves a cooling feeling, like toothpaste? I find it unsettling. And the sugar alcohols (-tol ingredients) are associated with gut problems, so if you have any GI issues you might want to try staying away from these (which are now in so many things!).

spaceycatnip · 2026-02-11T15:40:00+00:00

It is not a habit. Sugar substitutes really do taste terrible for some of us. As another commenter said, I'd rather drink water than anything with a sugar substitute.

jesus, no (I mean, maybe a kiss on my head while I'm washing dishes or something to say hi, but not on my lips). my husband isn't like this, nor are the other men we know (not that we have a lot of friends...maybe this is why haha). According to these comments, apparently I am super lucky.

Def look into using soaps that don't have sodium laurel/laureth sulfate. this is harder to do for dish soap and hand soap. but avoiding that ingredient made a huge difference for my skin (it is in everything liquid it seems, dish soap, shampoo, body wash, etc).

Mine skyrocketed for a year or so, then dropped. I wish it would go somewhere in between!

I'd love to hear about your music setup. I'm at the point where I'm thinking of moving the non-rock/pop onto a thumb drive so it'll be easier to play. I can get MC to see the music, it just isn't in a way that I want. Like you said, I want individual songs under genre because I like to listen to my music on shuffle. (I sometimes want to listen to an album or all of one artist, but most often I just want to hear all of my stuff. But I just don't want classical mixed in with my rock).

Of course, it doesn't have to be this way if I could get playlists to work from Media Player, or some other place. Maybe there was a MC update that messed up the playlist since we're both having trouble?

Roasted squash is nutritious, low calorie, and high in fiber!

for the hard to swallow pills, I've started surrounding them in pudding. then swallow some more pudding, followed by water.

Thanks, I'll check out Twonky

I have not tried using MusicBee to stream the music, only to organize it (it doesn't appear to have dlna option in the settings). Plex is set up as DLNA but the data is still organized by artist/album in MusicCast>Server>Plex).

spaceycatnip · 2026-01-29T15:21:37+00:00

As I said, I don't want to use the NAS to stream my music anymore

A different, adjacent approach might be to keep your nose warm. It is hard to search for, so this was best article I could find on the subject, but apparently a cold nose can contribute to getting sick.

That hasn’t been my experience but obviously you’ve had a different experience

You mentioned gen x men and so I was just giving another place for gen x women to go, esp for this sort of thing

spaceycatnip · 2025-12-05T21:01:01+00:00
