  1. Soy sauce it pretty regular in our diet but she doesn't like wasabi so rarely has it (like only if a piece happened to touch it and she can't wipe it off). But she did say some of the rolls came with wasabi on them so she just ate them.
  2. Curiosity, is there any medical connection between these two types of issues or just a fluke that these are two things you have issues with? I'm only asking because I have quite a few relatives who have issues with sulfa drugs and if there is a connection between these two things, then it would definitely be worth investigating since she does have issues with the bites.
  3. That's an interesting thought I hadn't considered. She has been a kid whose mosquito bites just got enormous compared to anyone else in the family. Thursday she had been outside and got a few bites which had swelled and itched. She said she didn't even first recognize the hives as something different because she had been scratching the mosquito bites for the last two days and it was just more itching.
  4. I have less hair on my legs than when I was younger too but that started around age 30 (and I was definitely not anywhere near menopause at the time as I've had 3 kids since then). I would say by age 40 I no longer needed to shave them at all. ten years later, I still haven't hit menopause but surely I must be getting closer. So for me it was related to get older but not necessarily to menopause.
  5. Thanks all. I sent the question over to DD's doctor and will hope for a referral to the allergist. Not having experience with food allergies, I wasn't sure if this was a big deal or not.
  6. The other day DD went to a sushi restaurant. Several hours later she broke out in hives. She said she itched everywhere and her throat was raw but she didn't feel like she had problems breathing. Sushi was the only food she ate that day before the hives so we are suspecting she was allergic/sensitive to something there. She has eaten all the major components many times over the years (crab, shrimp, avocado, rice, veggies) and has eaten sushi with raw fish before without issues. She said she put hydrocortisone on the itchy parts and just suffered through it. She's only had hives like that one other time several years ago but we were unable to pinpoint any specific foods. I only found out about the reaction a couple of days after the fact so not much I can do about it now but am looking for guidance for the future. Is this severe enough that I should look into food testing? Does she need to avoid sushi? Tell her to take Benadryl before eating sushi? Having never really dealt with this before I'm not sure how serious or not this is.
  7. All 6 of mine started sippy cups around that age. We never used bottles.
  8. I tried it with one of mine and all it did was make me sleep 20 hours a day and a complete zombie for the 4 hours a day that I wasn't actually sleeping. Since I was always sleeping, I didn't deal with the nausea but that's not really a method I would recommend. I ended up taking Zophran with all 6 pregnancies because it was the only thing that kept me from being sick all day yet allowed me to stay awake. I did consume lots of sour and salty (highly processed foods) because both of those would step things down a notch but my morning sickness was so bad that even a notch down wasn't enough hence the Zophran.
  9. I've had mine for 3-4 years now and my sister has had hers for at least 2 years. No one has died. I absolutely LOVE this canner. No more watching and fidling and guessing when to start timing. Just put it in and do whatever it tells me to do when it beeps!
  10. Bosch is definitely better for bread than a Kitchenaid, particularly if you will be doing whole wheat.
  11. yes, whatever data amount you select is the amount you get each month.
  12. I actually do both. For the things I use it for, it does a great job (better than any other method I've tried) but I don't have that many things that I use it for so it does sit around a bunch. I pull it out about once a month on average but sometimes it can go a few months. Things that I think it does better than other things on: large batch (gallon plus) of yogurt since it requires far less effort on my part than anything else, roasts (I was a crockpot person for many years but they never got as tender as they do in the instapot), hard boiled eggs (I've tried all the methods and this in the only one that reliably gets me eggs that are easy to peel, risotto (why would I ever stand and stir it when I get just dump it in the instapot and perfectly creamy rice?), and ONE all in one meal that my kids absolutely adore (a sausage, spinach, pasta and sauce recipe I found on the internet). And that's pretty much all I use it for but for those things, I'm so glad to have it even though I don't use it often.
  13. Sorry about your DH. BTDT and it sucks. I hope he is able to find something quickly. As far as phones go, I've used several different kinds of prepaid and all have always been cheaper than going with the big name brand companies. For us we really had to study out the coverage maps. When we are in and around cities it didn't matter so much but there are many rural areas we travel through for various things that we still wanted coverage. Anything thing that came up for us was when DH worked in a manufacturer building that do to it's construction materials blocked cell phone service, so we had to make sure we picked one that switched back and forth between cell service and wi-fi service (I think this is more common now but just something to be aware of). Anyways, Dh is currently on Republic Wireless and there are 6 of us using Tello (run on the T-mobile network). It takes a bit of legwork to find the best match for coverage and usage to match your individual needs but the cost savings has definitely been worth it for us.
  14. Did you look at an online scheduling program or did you call? I've found that the online schedule regularly looks full but when I call, they are able to squeeze me in.
  15. I've had it but I don't remember either the hard boiled eggs or the tomatoes. I like all the ingredients but I never liked the dressing it was served with.
