I had rosacea earlier this year. The derm prescribed Soolantra in the AM (which was fine, though it felt funny to take ivermectin); Epsolay in the PM (a kind of benzoyl peroxide); and a several month course of doxy. I was hesitant to take the doxy, but did, and had several weeks of stomach upset when I finally discontinued it. If I were to have a flare again, I'd see if I could just do the Soolantra and a non-prescription-grade benzoyl peroxide or other option. Echoing other posters above that CeraVe products are really helpful!

The New York Times had an article on this very topic today: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/18/realestate/overnight-guests-bedroom-space.html?unlocked_article_code=Hh0fZThdGogROtkvWQYwpwcuiba_0QmCdiWYm-qBwD1atioupDSJQjUKI_guPD2BpzCx3Q9fA_uZrts9vt_EAWE0bbHjIMafQ4S8dKmHZfX3RkewJ2_BzqslCTMo1rTqtZiXT3hosfcr2wFkmOjpjEe4lZr2qiRwAbvTkzy58tlGBamMfqRpe9fH0gca6MXPsrBf1gLYO96DT01iL5lgZOSze6il07Tq7Un_DxOBk-doz3E-JpF3i4k9s7TPc2BTQjstdJmTcZ61VW8krTdcuUvuY33rk-7MYB50JRt31Pk6crQaCKGrL_3UAqBpXPyaVnSyh3hw-4OWh6dQ_mqLgi0ZzVJvUs76VCj2&smid=url-share. Some of the options are (as always for the Times!) very pricey, but might be fun as a source of inspiration.

When I was a child, we moved into a new house. My younger brother opened the cabinet under the sink and cried out happily, "Mommy, this house comes with a hamster!" [Narrator: it was not, in fact, a hamster.]

I have had good luck with makeup remover.

So very sorry for your loss.

I am a tooth grinder / clencher, especially in times of stress. I found the instructions for masseter (jaw muscle) massage given here to be quite useful: https://www.painscience.com/articles/spot-07-masseter.php .

I did read her off and on over the years, and I understood from her postings in recent years that she had struggled with depression and addiction. It's a very sad story and my heart goes out to her children and family.

That sounds beautiful. I hope the service brings peace to all who attend.

Hugs and good thoughts for you. If you have someone who can pull together a photo slideshow, we found that to be a very meaningful part of both my father's and father-in-law's funerals (shown before the service). It can be a nice way to reflect on the person's whole life, not just the moment of passing.

Yes, this 100%. I ended up making scripture and hymn choices for my father-in-law's funeral. I think they were appropriate, but I don't know whether they were the best choices.

So very sorry for your loss.

I remember set theory from elementary school in the 1970s. I don't recall the specific textbook you linked to. But I definitely remember set notation and the axiom that "the empty set is a member of every set."

I have found that an over-the-counter probiotic has been helpful over the past few years (could be correlation instead of causation, but worth a try).

So sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose such a good companion.

What about a Uniqlo packable down jacket? Like this: https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/products/E452738-000/00?colorDisplayCode=69&sizeDisplayCode=003. Not super puffy, can be crammed in a backpack, and the price is not too $$$.
