Anyone bought any of the curve-loving sweaters [victoriassecret.com]? I was always disappointed with the Cotton Ribs when VS carried them (too short!), but I notice that these have modal in them, so I'm intrigued.
I never had luck with the cotton ribs either and found them too short. These look nice. Unfortunately with VS, pics can be deceiving. I wish they would add customer reviews to be posted on their site. It would dramatically assist in the online ordering process,

I am just not feeling shopping as of late I don't think I will go for any SRCs this time.

Azn, I had that happen to me when I was really stressed: it went on for a month until I realized I was stressed and worked that out! NOT FUN!

And by the way, how do you already have 22 SRCs?!

She rarely eats beauty loot but steals it. She likes to play fetch so she'll steal my lip balms and pens, etc. and hide them hoping that I'll find them and play with her. Sometimes she chomps on the end of them because she carries them around in her mouth, especially stuff in tubes.

She actually got really sick on Saturday because she finally over-played with the fetch ball she's had since she was a kitten (she's 4 now). She chewed it so much it fell apart... and then she ate it. So we have to take her for an ultrasound on Thursday to make sure she got it all out of her system and doesn't have a blockage anywhere. Silly cat. (But she's as close as you can get to a wildcat without being illegal, so she's not a "normal" housecat.)

Our other cat is a rescue from a shelter and she's just chubby and black and lazy. She wouldn't care enough to fetch a lip balm unless it had gold-plated catnip inside.
Most came from the angels1st code. Free shipping om anything night and free shipping on bras codes and double dipping worked on the last day!!!

My cat loves stealing papers from my purse. He will get anything from money to receipts. He's crazy. Sorry your baby is sick.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
For the science/medical girls, or anyone that's experienced this in general, I have a question about when my heart beats fast for one or two beats and returns to normal. Sometimes it happens in succession 2-10 minutes and sometimes 30 miuntes or longer apart. This started happening on Sunday and is still ongoing through today.

Last time this happened was last month and it lasted 4 or so days. This usually doesn't happen to me, but for some freak reason, I feel that this is becoming more common. I would breathe in and out deeply, but mostly to no advil because the increased heart pump would happen right between in one of my breathing exercises.

I'm under a lot of stress at work and work in a stressed mood at home because I have a test I am studying for. I'm hoping this is the reason. As I drove to work today, I felt a tightening in my chest and I'm trying to relax. I try to not think about work, either when I'm at home. I generally eat very healthy. Little to no processed foods and liquids. I don't really eat out. So I don't think it's high cholesterol.

I really can't figure out the reason. Any experiences or scientific knowledge?
Quote from SheenaMarie412 :
hug Based on what you said, I agree with the other girls, I would recommend going to see someone and talk with them about doing a work-up. It could definitely be something benign, just stress-related, but in case it's something else, an EKG and other tests might be helpful as well.

A couple of possibilities:
  • Stress/anxiety: stress, panic attacks, anxiety causes the sympathetics in our bodies to become more active can increase your heart rate and cause palpitations. It's that "fight or flight" response.
  • Caffeine, nicotine, meds like Sudafed or albuterol: these also cause increased sympathetics, which can lead to palpitations.
  • Hyperthyroidism: one of the signs of hyperthyroidism is heart palpitations. It is also associated with weight loss, sweating, hot or cold intolerance, tremors, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, etc.
  • Arrythmia: there's a lot of different types of arrhythmias [nih.gov], and not all of them are ones that you would need to worry about. However, it's important to get checked out so that if it is something that needs close monitoring, you can set that up...

Here's another article with a bit of info on palpitations [harvard.edu]

I hope that helps, dear! hug

Quote from azn1x6flame :
Thanks Sheena! I will definitely talk with a doctor if it happens again. I've been feeling much better now since this morning and since Sunday. What a change! I was just talking to my coworker about my boss and in the middle of her name, my heart jumped.

I've had panic attacks before, so I'm guessing that it's from stress, just based on my history and the illness I've suffered from stress. Stress and I don't mix well. shake head

If it continues, there could be more, and I'll get it checked Smilie

Thanks all!
hey axn, the info sheena gave you is right on the money. other precipitating causes of tachycardia (rapid heart rate) can be anemia, an electrolyte imbalance, sometimes even indicative of a problem with your adrenal gland or elsewhere in your neuroendocrine system. However, being that this is recurrent, I recommend you not wait until it happens again, but rather make an appt and have a baseline ekg, and some blood work including a basic metabolic panel, complete blood count and thyroid function panel. If you have a paroxysmal arrhythmia (meaning it flips into and out of a normal rhythms ) , it may not be caught on an ekg and may require either a holter monitor or re-evaluation when you are symptomatic. you are still pretty young so coronary artery disease should not be a reason for you to have an irregular heart beat unless you have a family history that suggests early onset.. an ekg may be able to rule out any ischemic changes. your primary doctor, based on your medical history and the aforementioned objective data, may decide to refer you to cardiology for an echocardiogram (ultrasound) of the heart. Hopefully, what you are experiencing is just stress, but that will be a diagnosis of exclusion once other things are tested for and ruled-out. good luck and i urge you to follow this up. pm me if you have any more questions.

I don't order from them much, but they've always been great. It's been forever since I've contacted their cs though.

That sucks! You can probably remove the scratches with a good polisher. I've been able to take off scratches on my car that way.
it has a nice dent and the scratches took the paint off Mad
