MemberApril 16, 2009 at 3:10 am in reply to: Ok it’s Glitter’s turn to freak out about a health problem..re pregnancy and being on the pill and still getting periods.
This happens, a lot more often than you think.
There are many recorded cases of women discovering they are well through their pregnancy, even though they’ve menstruated since they got pregnant.
I too, know of women who’ve got pregnant while on the pill.Let’s just hope its a nice easy fix and nothing too serious.
BTW, a garlic clove up there, apparently does wonders for yeast infections / thrush according to another forum I’m on. tie some dental floss through the clove and pop it up there. Garlic is a natural antibiotic and kills off the bad bugs.

All of the brassica family are very high in calcium.
Cabbage, broccoli, cauli etc. Roasted Brussels sprouts rock.Dairy isn’t so good on the calcium, it leaches more out of your system than it puts in.
The dairy industry doesn’t like that to be known, funnily enough…I want to know how the dentist went today so do tell us all later. Hopefully it’s an easy fix.

I have smaller hands (7.5" thumb tip across to little finger tip spread) and find the 45mm great for learning new tricks, but then I move to the 50mm for perfecting them. I’ve tried a 35mm pole and found it very, very tiny.
However, from what I’ve heard, start as big as you can cope with.
I started on 50mm and it means I have no problems with either 45 or 50mm.
There’s only 1.6cm difference in circumference between them (ex-engineer husband).
ergo, the 35mm could be 30mm approx smaller in circumference. -
was there a cold breeze last night? It’s starting to sound like you slept funny. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/alien.gif
My neck gets very stiff and sore if it gets cold, don’t say old age, I’ve had this since my teens.Tetanus shots should be every 10 years ish (says she who hasn’t had hers for nearly 30 years…..)
The stresses in your life could be the other contributing factor. Take a bath, if you can, with loads of lavender oil.
Or put that into a burner or even on your temples. This apparently helps to relax people.Dentist is a good idea to ensure it’s not a biggie, have your wisdom teeth come through yet?
Mine made my jaw a little tender when they came through. (Iraq invasion, 1990, funny how you remember stuff)good luck!

Welcome to the site – and to pole!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
now you have an x-pole, you won’t be going back…
-
have you stood on anything rusty lately or got something like that under your skin / into a cut??
When was your last tetanus shot?
OK, I’m going down the scary line, but merely ruling out stuff.Did you sleep weird on it? have you had a knock or fall to it lately?
What stresses are there in your life that could be causing this? Exams, etc?Haven’t had a locked jaw before, yours could have far too many different causes.
Massage and a heat pack may help to start with, failing that, go see a Doctor. -
Jungle_Cat Sweetie, as an atheist, I don’t believe, but that’s my choice as much as your faith and belief is yours, and living in a democracy allows us to be able to practice our beliefs freely and with acceptance and respect for each others views. (well, usually… ) faith and belief is personal.
Jesus was a humanist, an activist for bettering the human condition. The records show he did exist and was considered a nuisance. Nowadays, if he was around, he’d be called a terrorist / anarchist and imprisoned. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif If you choose to use dance and a song commemorating this exceptional person who tried very hard to help people’s lives over 2000 years ago, then go for it. I believe one of the things he tried to change was the narrowmindedness and reluctance to accept those who were different, I’m sure he would be very dismayed and ashamed by many out there who purport themselves to be Christian – and he’d hang out with those that they look down upon.
Dance is a form of worship that goes back further than Christianity; belly dancing is an ancient form of worship to the fertility goddess, so are many other forms of dance (Bollywood is derived from Classical Hindu). Therefore, do not consider yourself a bad person for choosing to express your faith in dance.
So sweetie, you keep dancing in that beautiful way you do and ignore those who tell you it’s wrong, choose your songs as they appeal to you. Don’t listen to those who demonise you for making choices that speak deeply to you, if they’re trying to emulate living like Jesus and his actions, they’re failing miserably!
I like this site because we can put aside religion, beliefs, gender stereotyping and other bad things that our society has out there. Here, we are all equal, and that’s a really good thing.
BTW: I’m not trying to beat up on religion, however, the world has too many issues going on in it right now because of fervent, misguided belief. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif Let’s just appreciate and respect everyone and not be guided by the media of those who tell us who or what we should be.
Edit: I also wanted to thank you for having the courage to apologise for a perceived offence to others. That kind of behaviour is really positive and takes a very strong, respectful person.
I wish more people would behave this way, including myself sometimes. -

Edited to add the top list too! -
Pole burn is normal.
After a short time, you’ll not even notice it.
Promise! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif
-
what’s your pole made of??
Steel or titanium should be fine and most zips are nylon which diminishes the chance of damage.
just go for it. Shiny PVC has the "Karitane Factor" (the way baby by-product sticks to blankets) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gifLook up http://www.howcool.com for boots, they have them very cheap.

And Aunty Rouge is sending you e-cuddles. e-chocolate too.
It will get better, promise. -
as the Youtube comments said, it’s very much the Chinese pole climb.
I’ve also seen kids do it that way when they try to climb the pole.
I took mine to my accountants end of year party 2 weeks ago and the kids were climbing it just like that!
One girl jumped up just like you did – and she had a wrist cast on! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gifVery cool though. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif

We all have off days.
Somedays I can’t even do a fireman. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
Pretty much everyday I can’t invert. But as Veena said to me, it’s not all about the inverts.Now for Aunty Rouge’s stern lecture… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
As to your friend, being a childless one with a lot of friends who have kids, I can relate to her.
Most of my friends now are younger than me or have late teens / adult kids.
We forget that it’s hard for parents to be impetuous and spontaneous. It’s not personal, we’re just not conditioned that way. Going out for drinks at 10pm is a great idea, but we forget that you need babysitters, sleep, time to get ready. Yes, in a way we’re selfish, but that’s because we don’t have children or parenting experience. Again, it’s not personal, we simply don’t realise. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gifNow the contentious statement, having too many friends who are now "zombie acolytes in the cult of child", there is only so much we non-child people can take on a child’s latest development. We’d like an adult conversation, not chat about the kids latest achievement at school / gym / etc, some of that is fine, we know it’s important, but the constant droning… I’m sure you’ve met people like that though at your daughters school, they have no life other than living vicariously through their children.
Most of my parent friends are fine to be around, their kids are great, but there is that annoying group that we don’t play with any more.
So, take it easy on yourself. I’m sure your friend didn’t mean to appear mean by giving you an hour to get to the bar, she’s in a different world; everyone has off days on the pole; spouses need apart time too and we’re not "putting up with you", sheesh, I say enough dumb things here! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
So, go take some quality "Foxy" time, which I’m thinking you don’t get enough of and stop beating yourself up.

brandy alexander is a drink!! it was super popular in 70’s.

Have done it while playing at the studio.
Can be done, but you do need super high levels of fitness.
Or don’t do so many cardio tricks.the trick is to keep the diaphragm open in whatever position you’re in.
Ensure you can get good breaths down into the diaphragm. (yes, another skill, I trained in opera for a few years)
However, this also contradicts the acrobatic breathing technique where it’s all into your chest.
