Three On Thursday

October 10, 2019 By Carole

Hello and Happy Thursday! Today I have 3 things for you that are sort of . . . public service announcements. One is something for you to support, one is something for you to watch, and one is something to make sure you do. Ready?

  1. First up, something for you to support. Lady Dye Yarns is collaborating with Romi Hill to commemorate and celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. That’s the one that gave women the right to vote, in case you weren’t sure. Diane Ivey (the Di in Lady DYE Yarns) is planning to travel across the country to visit different yarn stores and have open and honest discussions on race, diversity, inclusion and current events in politics. I love the idea of face-to-face conversations about these important and often difficult to discuss topics and have joined with others to support this project. You can, too! It costs just $19 and all of that money will go towards lowering the cost of Di’s visits to these yarn stores. You can read more about it and sign up here. There are only 97 slots left so hurry and grab yours and let’s get this sold out!
  2. Second up, something for you to watch: Unbelievable on Nextflix. This 8 episode show is based on the true story of Marie Adler, a young woman who is accused of lying about being raped, and the two female detectives who eventually capture her rapist after he has committed the crime several more times. Dale and I both really enjoyed this show. The writing is great, the actors are terrific, and the story will not only break your heart but also fill you with hope. After you’ve finished watching the show, be sure and listen to Episode 581 of the This American Life podcast where they tell Marie’s story, complete with interviews with several of the parties involved.
  3. Finally, something to make sure you do: have a colonoscopy when you hit the appropriate age and then have follow ups as recommended by your doctor. I’m having one today . . . lucky me. Does not eating the day before suck? Yep. Does the actual preparation part of the procedure also suck? Yep. But do colonoscopies save lives? You bet they do. And if my mom had had one when she turned 60 then she probably wouldn’t have died at the age of 66 from colon cancer. Because of that history I started this business in my 40s and I go back every 5 years. Today is my 3rd time having all this fun and I’m actually a little late getting it done. My fingers are crossed that they don’t find anything and I’d love you all to send good vibes my way for a perfect outcome. Thanks.

And that’s what I have for you this Thursday. If you wrote a post for this week please add your link below so we can all read what you have to say.

    Thanks for the Netflix recommendation. It’s popped up when I’ve signed in recently and I thought it looked interesting, so I’m glad to hear that it’s worth watching.

    Sending good thoughts for you today!

    I second the three recommendations here. Regarding the show, I was relieved to finally see some of the REAL foster kid behavior shown vs what is usually shown: she has close but structured relationships with adults from her past, lying is a survival skill to the point where she is not sure if she is telling the truth or if she has just created too much trouble and too much trouble brings bad thibgs. And how much kids like her KNOW the system- she knew her housing, support, income, safety, future were all fraily balancing on the pillars of who believed her and who didn’t. The show was fantastic, but Dan and I say there, sobbing for her and for the life our son could have had. And for the lives of the kids like him might have.

    Colonoscopy- and regular mammograms! My grandmother lost both breasts to cancer and I have been getting screened since I was 25!

    And Lady Dye… She is the best. Just the best.

    Pssst, too late for today, but when I had trouble doing the prep the doc suggested starting the clear liquids part one extra day early. Not fun, but it made the rest of the prep exponentially easier. Which was good because they found a tiny anomaly they might have missed otherwise. Zip, and it was gone. Here’s to a clean bill of health for you!

    Three very good things! (I too loved Unbelievable and thanks for the link to the TAL episode!) Sending you all the good vibes today for your colonoscopy! XO

    #1 done last week. #2 will do! #3 also yes to all of that! I’m a on 5 year rotation too. The good news…generally you feel like a million bucks after it’s all over…I hope it’s that way for you!

    3 great things for Thursday. I think I’m back on 10 years between but I first started when my Aunt passed away from Esophageal cancer and I have stomach issues/food intolerance issues so I sometimes get both the endo and the colonoscopy at once. Prep is no fun but worth it to be checked out. I need to call tomorrow to go to my gastro to find out when I should be going back.

    Three excellent suggestions, Carole. I tried to watch Unbelievable, but it made me so mad I decided to wait a while to get back to it. But I will go back and finish it. I don’t know about Lady Dye, so I will definitely check it out. I am much older than you, but I have only had one colonoscopy. However, I have done Cologuard twice, and it was so much easier. That would not be acceptable if I had a family history, but I do not. I will have to eventually have another, and I expect it will be easier this next time. Here’s hoping iyours goes so fast that tomorrow it will be a fleeting memory with you patting yourself on the back. Mammogram is already scheduled for next week!

    Three great suggestions, specially the colonoscopy.

This loaf took about 24 hours from start to finish, it was sluggish at first so I waited patiently and adjusted my timeline. It rested in the banneton on the kitchen windowsill overnight and I baked it when I got up this morning. Oven spring was impressive, it’s got a good ear and a nice open crumb. It tastes good, too! #sourdoughbread #sourdoughbaking #lookatthatear #nicecrumb #ovenspring #homemadeisbest #breadforbreakfast #morningbaking #the100dayproject #100daysofiphonephotos
