Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Kathy, Thanks for the explanation. I understand now a mud room's use. That was one of the things we noticed about USA is that you often have to adapt your houses due to the weather and have double entrances to keep out the cold etc. We don't have that problem here - it is over 30 degrees most days right now (and has been for nearly 2 weeks). It's stiffling and soooo humid. I didn't think Americans hung their washing outside. I thought that was more of an Australian habit. I love the smell of clothes that have been hung out to dry in the sun. So much nicer than dryers. I use my dryer about 6 times a year and only when it has been raining so long that I haven't got clean dry clothes. I'm fortunate in that has been through the experience of not putting up a clothes line for a previous partner for years and having that as an issue in their relationship. Now it is one of the first tasks he completes in a house! In my home when we put in the koi pond and I lost my backyard and clothesline to it, quickly installed a new clothes line, first of all in the garage so that I could still dry clothes while the actual building was going on and then in the landscaped yard. I'm lucky. (((Hugs))) Robyn Try the new improved Yahoo! Australia NZ Search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Kathy, Can you tell me any good sites on endometriosis? Is it likely that I could have that condition so late in life - remember I'm 53. I thought is was more something that you got early in life and that settled down somewhat after childbirth? RobynKathy wrote: I'm not familiar with that med. If the ultrasound person couldn't see any obvious reason, than it's almost got to be hormonal. The exception to that is that endometriosis doesn't always show up on an ultrasound--unless it has started to constrict other organs. Kathy Try the new improved Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 When I was growing up everyone hung laundry outside. Even when it was freezing out--it was funny-the laundry would freeze and then Mom would sit the basket over the heat register for a little while until it was soft and then fold it. I did some places I lived and others I couldn't. My son and d-i-l hang theirs out, he put up a very nice set of wooden posts to attach the line to. What I think I'll have Denny do, because of not being able to carry it very far, is attach a hook for the line at the corner of the house and a reel to a tree so the line isn't always up. That's what we had growing up. And I already have the clothes props and pins and a neat clothespin apron. The only thing I'l do in the dryer no matter what is the towels, they get a little rough hung outside to dry. Kathy Re: Hi from down under Kathy, Thanks for the explanation.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I'll have to check on some sites for you. Endometriosis goes into remission while pregnant, on the pill or nursing, but as long as the hormones are going you can have it. Actually my Doc told me that it is possible to have some of the effects even after a hyster. I think I had it ever since my ovary burst on the operating table when I was 13. I know I had symptoms since then. I had a hemorrhagic cyst and waited so long that by the time they were operating on me the darn thing burst. You're right, though, you most likely would have had a problem before now and what you are experiencing is most likely menopause related.
