| If you find them uncomfortable, you might want try to scheduling for a time a few days after your period ends. Your breasts will tend to be more tender right before your period or around ovulation, especially if you have fibrocystic changes. This may help with visibility on the scans a little, too, ... |

This concerns me as well and as tech bro billionaires who control social media platforms are increasingly flexing their power and influence in the US government, I'm frequently reminded of the power their products... |

| I don't know if it would be painful, but I do think it would be tragic. The world just keeps harder to live in for so many of us and it seems to be worsening rapidly. So much injustice and the darker forces usually seem to be the ones getting ahead. We really need all of the decent and empathetic pe... |

| Beware of the Daily Telegraph's culture war bs. This once great newspaper is pure agenda-driven trash these days. Yes the study exists and was published in July 2024. This is concocted into 'news' for 2025. If you look at the study: Converts to Orthodoxy You'll see that they're talking about 124 co... |

| The housing market in my city is pretty hopeless for first time homebuyers and has been for a while. It's depressing that I'm probably going to have to choose between either renting for the rest of my adult life and or moving to a more affordable area, since "a more affordable area" would ... |

| I don't consume dairy, so I use oat milk in my coffee and smoothies. I usually stick to certain brands in order to avoid particular additives. Plant-based 'milks' are a product where it's definitely good to read the ingredients list, since some are cleaner than others. When it comes to almond milk, ... |

| I'm sorry you're in such a hard place. I relate to not having any family support and how difficult it can be when you don't have anyone to rely upon. It can make everything feel like it's really high stakes, because it sort of is. You mentioned growing up abroad ... do you speak another language flu... |

They have a lovely natural foods and health products store onsite, which is owned and operated by the farmer's family. I never bought the raw milk, but they also sold a lot of their own organic produce an... |

I mean, abstaining from dating, sex with men, marriage and having children doesn't necessarily mean you're having sex with women. Celibacy is a thing. "Your body, my choice&q... |

Understood, although I can't say that makes me feel less concerned for your safety or feeling like I wish I could do something. |

OK, I hope you're able to find what you are looking for. The language thing may seem off-base, but I have thought of here and there over the years while reading your posts, so take it for what it's worth, I guess. Or, not. You know, whatever.  |
