  1. I'll go...I'm just frustrated about spending so much on imaging all the time. Last year, I had 3 MRIs, 1 CT scan, several x-rays, plus a diagnostic mammogram and u/s. I'm just wondering how common it is to see a mass on mammogram, but nothing on ultrasound.
  2. I have extremely dense breasts and frequently get callbacks after my screening mammogram for more imaging. This time they saw a mass at the screening mammogram, but from the description it looked like it was just a cyst and nothing to be concerned about. I went for the ultrasound today and they couldn't find the mass that was seen on the mammogram (after exclaiming how dense my breasts are) and said I need to come back in six months for another mammogram. I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else where the mass was seen on mammogram, but not ultrasound. I'm not concerned, just irritated about all of this imaging for what is almost certainly nothing. I know they have to order the imaging to be safe, but it's expensive !
  3. I don't think @Melissa in Australiais rude either. I always provide soap bar/shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the shower as well as a guest basket filled with travel sizes/samples of those items plus a couple of toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, lotion, etc. If someone opened a bar of soap and left a partially used bar I'd prefer to throw it out for hygiene issues like your DH, but my DH would prefer to keep it and use it because he's more frugal than concerned about shared germs or whatever. So that's why I think it could go either way. If you know it will be tossed and want it, I'd take it if it's not too messy. Otherwise, I think it doesn't matter either way. ETA - the guest basket is in the bathroom
  4. I think either is fine. I wouldn't think either way of it as the host.
  5. I just found her on instagram and am following her now. Thanks for sharing.
  6. What a great update! Glad you got it done and are happy! Enjoy! 🙂
  7. We do the same. I think I learned here (maybe not), not to say I'm sorry and to just say something like, "that's unfortunate" or something similar but I guess that's just semantics really. It is annoying, but when it's expected and frequent it's easier to just ignore it and move on.
  8. I like it dry or with almond milk, but the cereal picks up the flavor of the milk so it tastes nothing like regular milk from a glass. They even sell cereal-flavored milk. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nestle-Sensations-Frosted-Flakes-Cereal-Flavored-Low-Fat-Milk-Ready-to-Drink-14-fl-oz/5079756681?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=2359&adid=222222222775079756681_117755028669_12420145346&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-306310554666&wl5=9015255&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=5079756681&wl13=2359&veh=sem_LIA&gclsrc=aw.ds&&adid=222222222375079756681_117755028669_12420145346&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-306310554666&wl5=9015255&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=5079756681&veh=sem&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwh4-wBhB3EiwAeJsppMGzl0XJl0QpaCRABLFrZvMytkM-B26zlqbOEAsKt20hHv_fim8NWxoCXz0QAvD_BwE I know this comes in froot loop flavor too. I like the chocolate cereals with milk because then you get chocolate milk when you're done eating. 😛
  9. Haaaaate! Unless you count chili as a soup...I do like that. I know it must be weird because everyone else seems to love it. I just keep quiet when everyone is raving over soup recipes or suggesting soups for dinner ideas or recommending people bring soup to someone for dinner.
  10. Cream of wheat is not soup. Hot and cold cereals are never soup. I don't want to offend the soup lovers so I won't go on about my hatred of soup, but I absolutely love cereal. They are not even close! This is a hill I will die on! 😛 ETA - black and white! No gray!
  11. LOL, I wish I loved soup and hated cereal!
  12. I really love cereal with milk and hate soup, so they can't be the same thing.
  13. I won't be watching. I love reading, but don't like watching tv or movies. I don't think I even know who Ewan MrGregor is. @GailVthat book looks really good. I'm going to put it on my TBR list.
  14. Counseling is a good idea. We went through two years when I had recurrent medical emergencies and surgeries. Most of the time, DH was home but sometimes he'd be out of town and dd is my youngest and was the only one home at the time. My dd was a sensitive teen then and it was very stressful for her and I felt so horrible and guilty about it. She wouldn't talk about it and wouldn't go to counseling, but I do wonder how that affected her long-term. I'm sending hugs too. What a horrible time for all of you.
  15. Big hugs to you @Tap That's a lot to process all at once.
  16. It depends on your current lifestyle. Are you eating healthy and exercising, but can't bring that LDL down? In that case, it could just be genetic and meds might be best. If you see obvious changes you could make before taking meds, I'd do that first. I know some people who live really healthy lifestyles but still need meds to bring those numbers down. HDL looks good! Oh, I just checked and you are just borderline high for LDL. I'd probably wait a bit and retest if that's the highest it's been. I'm really conservative about meds, though.
  17. I rarely wear make up, but ds is getting married soon and I'm trying to figure out what I need/want to look my best that day even though it's going to be a tiny informal wedding. I want to get setting spray but am overwhelmed with the choices and was hoping someone could recommend a drugstore/inexpensive one for me. And any tips you have on setting spray or anything else with make up/hair would be appreciated too! My skin is pretty normal but maybe gets a little shiny on the forehead sometimes.
  18. I know this thread is old, but I'm learning about make up right now and want to buy setting spray. Do you have a recommendation? Maybe I should start a new thread. I don't want to spend a lot. I rarely wear make-up, but ds is getting married soon so I'm trying to figure out my face. ETA - I'm going to start a new thread. Sorry for dragging up the old one!
  19. We use iExit as well.
  20. I'm reading Breaking Night: A Memoir of Forgiveness, Survival, and My Journey from Homeless to Harvard by Liz Murray. It's very good so far and reminds me a little bit of The Glass Castle.
  21. So precious! ❤️ Congratulations!
  22. Wow, that is scary. I've never had it happen with no trigger. I do get milder symptoms from anxiety but have never come close to passing out. That would have me spooked too since you don't know what caused it and if/when it will happen again. I hope you can be seen soon and figure out what is going on.
  23. I think this is my favorite! 😛 She sounds exhausting to everyone including herself.
