Yeah, those are similar to what I found when I searched for mother of the groom dresses: Bare midriffs, micro-minis, strapless... :ack2:

UGGS has PVC rain boots:
I've also read from several sources that the Kamik rubberHe is latex free synthetic rubber; it is good you are confirming with the company to be sure.

Gempler's has a variety of chore/muck boots made from PVC. Most that I saw were men's sizing; their website states men's to women's sizing conversion is two full sizes down.

Here's another PVC boot; there are several pvc styles on this website:

I did not have an idea yet, but I was probably going to go to the grocery, which I am now not going to do.
And let me make an alteration: I only have one breast, so I’m not using that. But I do have chicken leg quarters. So now I am thinking of doing a medeival times style chicken leg quarter and some potatoes and a veggie on the side. But I still need to use the IP because the meat is frozen.
Good idea!

This is a long shot, but he might have a bladder infection, or something like diabetes which increases urine output.
Or, maybe if there has been a change in his diet, he might need to poop at 4 am.

I'm glad he is okay, relatively speaking, and that whiplash is the extent of his injuries.
I agree with woolysocks that he should wait a few days until the acute phase of his injury has subsided before seeking chiropractic treatment. If you live in an area that is lucky enough to have one, a directional non-force chiropractor might be able to adjust him without aggravating the injury or causing pain.
I usually don't like them, but muscle relaxers for a few days helped a lot when I had whiplash. Magnesium might help a bit if he doesn't want to take muscle relaxers.
I hope he feels better very soon! :grouphug:

Yeah, back in the day when I was a runner, the endorphin high only came after about 15 miles. Yup, 15 miles.
I do yoga now and get that good feeling pretty quickly, but yoga's not for everyone, that's for sure.
Some people say that Zumba gives them that endorphin rush, but I would hurt myself in the first five minutes. :ack2:

Zofran for nausea/vomiting, clorox bleach for towels, bed linens, and whatever else you can launder. Clorox wipes are great for surfaces, screens, remotes, drawer handles, etc...
I hope everyone feels better soon! :grouphug:

Buy it, wrap it, and tell him, "you got me a purse for my birthday. Thank You!"
That's what I have done for the past 25 or so years, and DH is always thrilled that he doesn't have to shop or think about what I might want.

I love my Brooks Adrenalines (for pronators) but every person has their own unique foot shape and stride. I agree with the others who recommend getting fitted at a running specialty shop.
My tips:
1.Buy the best running shoes you can afford. Don't buy at a discount place because the quality often suffers.
2. Replace running shoes sooner than you think you should. There's a mileage recommendation (350-500 miles per pair) for running shoes, and I replace well before that time.

I use Fromm dry food and put a raw egg in the bowl with enough water to moisten the food. If I'm out of eggs, I put either chicken or bone broth in it. My very picky Great Pyrenees girl has managed to put on ten needed pounds thanks to the egg and broth.

I wear knockoff uggs as house slippers, and they are very warm and comfortable.

I think you can be fit, but if you don't do sprints (stairs are a form of sprints), then your body isn't trained to do them and you will struggle on stairs, hills, etc...
I would forget anything a Navy doc told you about asthma 30 years ago. That doc examined you to determine if your body would be able to perform in harsh conditions without the need for medical assistance of any kind; A person having an asthma attack in battle/wartime environment might use resources which are needed elsewhere. It's a very specific mindset/rubric that really isn't used elsewhere, to my knowledge.
That said, you might still have asthma, or you might not. A general practitioner could do basic lung function test using spirometry, or might refer you to a pulmonologist.
If you want to do some "tests" on your own, you could try doing some kind of sprint/speed training by walking hills, stairs, running spirits, jumping rope, or doing burpees for a few weeks to see if they get easier.
Oh, one more thing: When you do get out of breath, are you 1.) out of breath/ breathing heavily, 2.) Experiencing air hunger, which means you are breathing heavily and craving oxygen 5-10 minutes or more after exertion, or 3.) Wheezing, meaning that you can hear or feel the air whistling in and out of the small spaces in your lungs?

I love the sound of crying babies; new life always makes me teary-eyed. However, I know several people with hearing aids who also love babies, but state that their cries are almost excruciating when they are wearing these devices. I also know some people who have difficulty filtering or tuning out sounds, so a crying baby is very uncomfortable because that's all they can hear.
So, I guess I see and respect both sides of this argument.

I'm back from doctor.
So, I wasn't hallucinating and imagining things - it really is there, plain as day. Got a referral for ultrasound and a mammogram; she told me she always flags these asap so hopefully it will be done soon and we'll know more. trulycrabby, I don't think I get that choice right now - but Vancouver has some top notch doctors so I'm feeling good about it.
Got a flu shot as a bonus.
Only thing is I have to tell my mom and I know this will worry her. But my mom's sister died of breast cancer and I don't have all the details about her age etc and they need to know all that so I have to ask her.....
It sounds like you are getting top notch care! Vancouver does indeed have fine doctors; I lived there in my teens and so part of my heart and soul is Canadienne forever.
Thank you for keeping us updated. If it's okay with you, we (the hive) would like to follow you through this and hold your hand throughout the process.

I'm back, because I forgot to offer advice.
If possible, you might try to find a dedicated breast radiologist, which is a radiologist who specializes in breast imaging. I am fortunate enough to have one in my city, and have been her patient since my first lump.
She has the very best mammogram machines and technicians, and she does her own ultrasounds. She also monitors the mammograms via screen, has stepped in to request another image or angle when she needs more information or does not have an ideal view of the area she is assessing.
Wait times are also minimized with a dedicated breast radiologist. When I needed breast surgery; the surgeon needed a diagnostic mammogram the day before the surgery; the dedicated breast radiologist fit me in, read my images, and called the surgeon within an hour of the mammogram.

The first few days are the hardest, I think. Then, waiting for results is hard.
The odds really are in your favour, and it helps tp hold onto this when you get nervous. :grouphug:

I wore these when I was having ovarian issues: cysts, benign tumors, and ascites; and wore them after my ovary/fallopian tube removal.
When I was huge with ascites pre-surgery, I wore these pants by Lucy. They are knit and very comfortable but can be dressed up or down. The are expensive but very good quality.

She could also do the Lands End Starfish pants but go up a size or two since they fit smaller than they used to.

Your great aunt and mom made their choice when they sided with your brother years ago. Your great aunt can die alone, or at least without you participating in this farce of a family event.
