    soooo... doc says I have a mild hiatal hernia and inflammation of the stomach in the same area. The two don't play well together, but neither of them are really anything to be concerned about. I'm getting referred to a specialist to help me talk about the flare ups I have that cause pain / nausea / illness. I know the introduction of the new protein powder didn't help, so that's been stopped.

    I told her I lift heavy (for me) weights, and she didn't tell me to stop... but I will slow my progression a bit so that I am relying on the targeted muscle groups instead of a full body press. That means no attempts at 1rm PRs, or crazy weight progressions, but that's ok.

    Google tells me to not even lift a kettlebell. Yeah, um, sorry. That's not happening. Not until the doc says so.

    Both sound annoying but manageable...? 🤷🏿‍♀️

    Am happy it's nothing more serious yet can understand you wanna get back to lifting too 🤗

    Well, it addresses the nausea and upper abdominal pain. and it looks like I can manage it with an adjusted diet (and maybe adjusted lifting goals).

    I still have one more test to get through - the lower abdominal CT for a separate issue. That's in 11 days. If that is clear, then I can stop worrying. :)

    Hoping for clear! *crossing fingers*

    Hmmm, thinking of how to step outside of my comfort zone today. Maybe go further than my mailbox?

    So yesterday afternoon, dh returns from work like normal. We're sitting at the kitchen table sharing the big news from both of our days. He says he went to the grocery store on his way home, to get green peppers for his once a year chili cooking. They had 2 green peppers, 2.99 # and they weren't very good so he left without getting any.

    Sad thing is I couldn't top that excitement.
    :)
    Omg....that’s cute. Did you tell him about the mailbox? Maybe today’s the day you top his green pepper story? 😊

    I saw this in a memory today and really wanted to share it. Not sure if anyone else needed this reminder, but I sure did.

    The sheer amount of russian porn accounts on MFP recently is disturbing. Why do people just blindly accept FRs?

    I rarely do. It's usually got to be someone who's a common friend, or super awesome in the forums (aka respectful and interactive).

    Why are they here in the first place? I'm assuming those are the ones that usually have Cyrillic in their descriptors and nothing else filled out, no profile pic, right?

    I've been getting an influx of requests from accounts like that since Nov. and I can't figure out why.

    :lol: I'm sure they do, but I'm not going to venture far enough to find them. If I want that, though... those bots have competition on MFP. After all, here is where we go to find our work husbands/wives, right? :joy:

    They definitely have PFPs and they are desperate for you to rate their blog.

    Hmm, I must just be getting phishing accounts here, then. Definitely haven't seen any accounts asking me to rate "blogs" or that have racy pfp. :lol:

    After many years of analyzing my patterns, habits, and interests the Google News AI FINALLY gets me. Yes, this is the news I need to know. Now, if I can just get it to focus specifically on cufflinks...

    I'd have posted the link but I really need the Disagreer to work for it. I mean can they truly claim to be a Disagreer if they're not stalking ALL my physique appreciation posts, male and female, married and single, etc? 🤷🏿‍♀️

    Besides, and more importantly, you found the thread 😉

    To the Disagreer above, be aware that I'm also enjoying men's bodies in a new thread where they may (or may not) have knickers on. Since yours are in a bunch, I thought you'd want to know. You're welcome.

    Not sure how anyone could disagree with two such well dressed individuals or a random thing that showed up on your phone. Sure seems silly to get riled up about. :joy:

    Meanwhile, I'm living in a fantasy where I wish I could dress as well as that dapper man in the image you posted. He is ON POINT.

    So Halsey came out with her own makeup brand, cool. Huge fan of hers BUT.... It seems that all of her marketing isn't focused on actually showing off the makeup. It's just a bunch of artsy shots. Like....🤔 how am I supposed to know if I want to buy the product if you're not going to show it in natural lighting or any closeups??? 😑 Guess I'll wait for the youtuber reviews.

    I saw a video of her promoting some of her products but she was like 50 feet away from the camera for some reason, i was like ..

    Hopefully she'll come out with something like that because right now she's just banking on her name. I'm not sure she knows how the beauty industry works or how to sell an actual product vs a concept.
