I don't understand how this can be legal, unless the actress is 18. Was the movie filmed in the US?

Dr hive is this something to worry about?
PeppermintPattie replied to lovinmyboys's topic in The Chat Board
I'd get it checked in case it is strep. -
I had super heavy periods and when I finally went to the doctor about it, I was diagnosed with a fibroid. I had a hysteroscopy where they cleaned everything out of my uterus. It was done in a surgery center under general anesthesia. I was sore and tired for a week afterwards, but I only needed ibuprofen when i over-did things. The biopsy of everything they removed came back as "the good kind" of pre-cancer. The doctor offered me an iud with a hormone in it (if I remember right) or a hysterectomy. If I went the iud route, I would have needed a uterine biopsy after a certain length of time to check to see if the pre-cancer was returning. Since the surgeon said that a biopsy only checks 4% of the uterus, I didn't think that was a sure enough thing and had a hysterectomy. They removed everything since I was 53 and close to menopause anyway. I love not having periods anymore! My energy and my moods are more steady. The only thing I regret is having the hysteroscopy. I wish I had just had the hysterectomy and gotten it over with, but that's only a minor regret. There's a website called hystersisters with forums and lots of articles. It's a good place to learn more. eta: my surgery was laparoscopic, and I have no other health problems. I stayed in my PJ's for two full weeks, but then I was able to be closer to normal. It took about 4 months to feel completely healed.

FYI—HAMILTON! Drops tomorrow on Disney+
PeppermintPattie replied to Sneezyone's topic in The Chat Board
I won lottery tickets to see it live multiple times, and it wasn't until my third performance that I realized that the musical was as much or even more about Burr as it was Hamilton. Burr had such a rich religious heritage, especially when you realize who his grandparents were, yet he seemed to flounder his entire life. In the live performances we saw, Burr was definitely the stronger performer, so maybe that's why it seemed like Hamilton snagged Burr's musical, along with everything else. -
FYI—HAMILTON! Drops tomorrow on Disney+
PeppermintPattie replied to Sneezyone's topic in The Chat Board
This is very insightful - I've seen it 6 times now, but I never caught on the re-use of the motifs. Can't wait to watch it again and listen for those! This proves that you're closer to original genius than I am! -
Is it still your plan to help take care of her, since that's why she moved near you? That will make it so much harder to say no. I'd talk it over with my dh to make a plan that protects you from being taken advantage of - how often will you go to her house, what will you do to help, what will you say no to... those kinds of things.

Recommend a shrub, flower, something to me for this spot
PeppermintPattie replied to Liz CA's topic in The Chat Board
I'd try a Matilija Poppy. -
Have you asked this question of the pastor? Maybe if he has to explain himself to your children, he'll see his foolishness. I'm also reminded of the verse in James that says to not let many become teachers because they are held to a stricter standard. If he can't be abide obeying the law or having his behavior questioned, you probably need a different pastor.

Praying for peace and wisdom.

Experiences with acutane or an alternative?
PeppermintPattie replied to busymama7's topic in The Chat Board
One of our kids used acutane as a teen, and our only regret with it is that we waited so long. It really does work. Before we tried that, we used a facial wash that was prescribed by the doctor. I don't remember the cost, but I'm sure it was less expensive. -
My spouse left and took my kids, what would you do?
PeppermintPattie replied to Gloria Victoria's topic in The Chat Board
You need to call CPS and a lawyer. Don't stand by and do nothing when your children are being abused. -

Whew. I'm safe, then. Thanks!

Wait! Why did they do surgery on someone without anesthesia? (I need to know if this is something I need to worry about happening to me. 🙂 ) maybe I need watch the show...

Do you quilt? I'm having trouble with a pattern.
PeppermintPattie replied to stephanier.1765's topic in The Chat Board
They must just cut the 5" squares from various white-with-flowers squares, rather than all from just three squares. Do you have more than three squares? It's a really cute pattern! -
S/o International people views on Americans
PeppermintPattie replied to fairfarmhand's topic in The Chat Board
I like eating at least once at fast foods while traveling just to be able to compare them to the ones at home. French fry forks? I'd hate going through life not ever having used one! -

I ordered these today for my son, at his request. -
what helps you get to bed earlier/on time?
PeppermintPattie replied to caedmyn's topic in The Chat Board
What helps me get to bed early is if I have something there to look forward to, like a good book! -
Trader Joe's lebkuchen (and other sweets)

I was so happy to find chocolate truffle filled figs this year at TJ that I spent nearly $30 on them!
