That sucks to have such an invalidating end to what should be an inclusive day, and it'll sorry yoy experienced that. Tbh it kind of sounds like the trash took herself out of your life if she's not able to respo d to a difference of opinion with respect and grace. May you find much better friends than her.

I had this experience in recent years. Heads up, cervical screening can get more painful in peri- and post-menopause, as the body's natural lubricant production slows down and can stop altogether. It's worth reading about all the perimenopause symptoms (including less common ones) and see if your paingul screening experience correlates with any other symptoms.

This is worth checking even if you're younger than the average age range for peri (45 - 55), as some people with a cervix go through it at a much younger age.

Haha yes, that is exactly the picture that inspired the username. The other part of the inspiration came from First Dog On The Moon's character, Brenda the Civil Disobedience Penguin ♡ https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/19/the-northern-hemisphere-is-on-fire-the-temperature-records-being-broken-are-record-breaking?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Here in Australia a lit of road construction works are carried out overnight in the summer. This helps beat the heat, which improves safety, but also improves safety by ensuring work is being carried out when there's the least amount of traffic next to the work zones.

I'm a cat parent of one from Australia. I came here as a reddit refugee and am appreciating the cultural differences here. Much easier to curate a healthy front page here!

I'm late to this party because I'm on the other side of the planet in a sub-tropical climate. I agree with the commenter from India and want to add:

• if you have a cotton cap / beanie / soft hat, get it out Wet it, wring it out, and put it in your freezer in roughly the right shape for your head. Use whatever is in the freezer to shape it, then let it freeze. Remove from freezer, put it in your head, and thank me for the brief but blessed relief.

• Wear a light cotton long sleeve top. Wet the sleeves and stand or sit in front of a fan or in a breezy spit in the shade. It's like air conditioning for your skin.

• Wet your head for instant relief. Your wet hair will help keep you cool for longer.

• Plan your day around the heat. If you have to go out, do it as early in the day as you can to avoid the heat. Stay in the shade as much as possible, but somewhere with good air flow

I'm on board with this whole list. We might be related.

This is so relatable, I love it. Thanks for meming

It's not an honest attempt to gather anonymous data. There is n9 need for anyone yo ask these questions on a form other than for medical treatment or research where this info is directly relevant.

Well of course I looked it up. You can't just leave that there and expect everyone to not look it up.
