Comments (2)Been there done that. this is sort of embarrassing to talk about, but here goes. Every doc I saw told me it was atrophy and finally I went to a gyn my daughter recommended and she said it was not atrophy, but an incurable disease, not catching or deadly, just uncomfortable. When I would squat to pick up something from the floor I could feel tissue tearing in that area. The disease is Lichen Sclerosis and what physically happens is the tissue grows over the genital area. In my case it has grown over the urethra, so urine is expelled from the vaginal opening. After the disease is advanced the opening can be as small as a half inch and you can no longer have sex. the pain would be unbearable. I am assuming that we can no long have an orgasm because skin has grown over the sensitive area. The doc said there is no cure and everything has been tried including surgery to repair the area. She said she has 5 year old patients with the same disease. Poor things, I don't know how they will ever be able to have a happy marriage. Not many young men would put up with that condition. If this sounds like your condition, you don't need a doc to diagnos it, just use a mirror. I don't remember when I started having pain in my early 60's maybe, but my husband was really understanding and did not try to make love to me again. I was very lucky in that sense....See MoreAmazing Race - contains spoilers!
Comments (18)LOL I don't think the ugly Americans are the Kentucky team. The have been very respectful and thankful for any help they have asked for. I can understand them just fine! I think they are having a ball and really appreciating the trip. I couldn't believe it when he whistled at the woman walking by the taxi. That took me by surprise! LOL I, too, wanted to shove a salami down her throat. And I don't think it has been NEAR as awful as some years. I remember seasons where all but one or two teams bickered the whole trip. Remember the one guy who people thought might be abusing his wife? I can't remember their names, but it was awful. I have heard that those remote control helicopters are very hard to control. It cracked me up when Mr. Pilot thought it might actually be a REAL copter! lol Very touching to split the money with the one contestant from Kentucky. He said that his daughter is on quite a few prescriptions for respiratory problems....See MoreWhen are we going to stop racing horses???
Comments (4)Horses could be safely raced as 6 year olds, once they have been allowed to mature. However because this would be more expensive and the profits accordingly less, it will never happen. There is nothing inherently wrong with racing fully mature horses whose bones can handle the stress. Running in a pack is one of the most natural activities for a horse and it requires very little training to get a horse to do this. What is frequently termed training is really conditioning, ie getting a horse's muscles and stamina built up over time. Unfortunately race horses are started too early for conditioning to adequately protect them from injury. Horses who compete in endurance rides typically compete until they are in their teens, and fatal injuries are exceedingly rare. The endurance race is a grueling test, but because horses must be at least 5 yrs old (if I remember the rules) to compete, a properly conditioned horse with good conformation can expect a lifetime of good health and competition. This is because they are not pushed beyond their limits when they are too young. The reason for this is because, by and large, the owner/riders are not in it primarily for the money....See MoreAmazing Race..amazing for sure.
Comments (7)Oh My Goodness, what a great ending to a great race! It could have been any of the final 4 teams and I would have been happy. The waxing! Oh My! All that hair and pain! Zev & Justin were the best at that, I laughed out loud! And the drinks! 100 of them! Watching that made my shoulders hurt! I was surprised that the Globetrotters did not do better on the bridge. I guess they are not in such good shape after all. Zev & Justin did so well and were in it, without question...until that dance. I felt sorry for both of them but they never gave up and never found fault with eachother. I liked them and was sorry to see them go. Mallory was a pain. She did a good job with the underwater stuff and in the trailer park but I'll bet that cab driver was about to drive off a cliff with her in the back seat! The Sisters were a good team, did not give up and were able to 'hold it' together until the end. Whew... This was a great season and I'm ready for the next one to start! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did! sooey...See Moreamylou321
