Best wishes for a good result!!
Thank you โค๏ธ
Thyroids are temperamental bastards! Mine crashed in pregnancy 13 years ago and hasn't worked properly since. I've been stable on thyroxine for the most part, but when I was too low I developed a nodule, which i was convinced was cancer. It wasn't, and a dose increase reduced the nodule again. The ultrasound can be a bit uncomfortable with rhe pressure but I'm sure yours will be good.
Thank you for sharing, that makes this whole thing less frightening โค๏ธ
Its all good mate. Thyroid dysfunction is very very common nowdays.
Thyroid is pretty good as far as health issue go. It's superficial so no deep surgery if it goes that way. If it's just a bit funky you can take Thyroxine? (T3/T4 hormone IIRC) which is cheap on the PBS. Finally better to know than not so you can deal with it appropriately.
You're right, it is better to know. Thanks man โค๏ธ
Let's hope it's nothing major
I think my nail art practice went well

These are your finest work yet I think!
Aw shucks! Thank youuuu ๐๐๐๐
FOR THE HORDE! (soooo impressed by that one in particular!)
These are gorgeous! You've done an awesome job!!
What would be the title of your memoir? Mine would be "Well, That Didn't Go According To Plan (But It Still Worked Out)"
"How a participation award and a gold star sticker in grade two changed my life".
I think I would use what my daughter says about me.
"Oh she's weird, but not in a bad way"
Weird and wonderful!
I think mine would be 'Plan? What plan?". The follow up self-help book would be "The Untapped Power of Impulse Motivated Action".
That is an excellent power to wield!

I don't know. Depends who wrote it and what goes in.
it won't be called "My Struggle"
maybe "Saddam and my part in his downfall " ( to riff of spike milligan )
or My Life in Movies ...lol
"Well I wasn't born as a burrito, but I did get drowned in salsa"
Mm, salsa! This has brought up the mental image of just a bathtub full of nachos.
Girlfriend's wrist operation today. She developed a cyst in her left wrist that's been painful for her over a year ago now. We've finally gotten to the stage where they'll do actual surgery and remove it. Let's hope this will be the end of it and she'll be better once she heals
Good luck!!
Has anyone heard from Melbabouttown?
I was literally just thinking that. Hope she's OK.
Inspired by Force, what's your perfect burrito? I'm a fan of spicy chicken, rice, pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese and avocado. If I'm having a big feels day, some con queso to dip it into. There is to be absolutely no beans near my burrito, please and thank you.
I haven't had many burritos in my life but if I had to choose it would be a breakfast burrito.
I don't really know enough about burritos to comment, a vegetarian one. I recently made TVP chilli which was awesome.
Hmmmm. A little but not too much rice and beans, plenty of guac and some sour cream, ONIONS, andddddd pulled pork with a very spicy salsa/sauce. That boy is going to be big and juicy and delicious
