Hi everyone! I'm 39F and love the singer Jojo (Levesque, not Siwa). She's performing at the bandshell at the CNE on August 29 (time tbd?) I'd love to go with a group of women around my age who also are fans, as I don't have any friends who are into her. I had originally posted this with a link to the event, but it was taken down...so I guess just google Jojo and CNE. Their website doesn't have too many details up just yet.

Not going to lie, I don't understand how the bandshell works (i.e. do we have to go early, line up, sit all day, etc?) but I do know that the concert is free with admission, and supposedly there's a Presto card discount for daily admission, so it shouldn't be too pricy. Is anyone interested?

Hi all,

Just got the Ninja Blendboss at Costco. Great deal. I have some q's for others who have it. When I make a smoothie, I open the cup up and taste it, and add ingredients as needed. But when I open the cup, liquid always drips down the side, mostly from the blade base. Does anyone have a solution for this?

An issue I had with my old ninja blender is the silicone ring inside the blade base would get food stuck in it and it was almost impossible to pull it out safely and clean it. The blendboss blade base is different. I see some silicone but not sure how I'd get it out to clean it. Any issues?

The cups say they're dishwasher safe in the open position, top rack only. They're too tall for my top rack. Has anyone put them 'open side' down on the lower rack? Any issues? I don't want to break them or anything.

I also took the little silicone sleeve off of the bottom of the cup...hopefully that's no problem? I just know that it's going to get moldy underneath with constant washing. Anyone else do that? I won't actually be using the cup to drink the smoothie as I like to clean it right away most of the time, in order to stop the plastic from taking on the scent of whatever I've made. That was a huge issue I had with my old ninja.

Thanks in advance, users!

Hi all! How long did it take you to break up the scar tissue after your carpal tunnel surgery?

For context, my surgery was 8 weeks ago. I wasn’t able to do enough massaging on my scar because after the stitches came out, I had tons of dry skin and some areas of the incision that kept opening up, so massaging the scar pulled on the tissue too much, and eventually I got an infection in one of the open parts of the incision.

Now that the infection has healed and I can start massaging vigorously, I’m in a ton of pain due to the stitches that are still trying to dissolve in the layer under the top scar. I feel like I’m pricking and pinching myself every time I massage. I do it as much as I can tolerate, but am waiting on ultrasound results to ensure I’m not overly irritating the healing tissue. I just didn’t expect to have so much scar tissue and for it to take this long to break up. I don’t want to have permanent scar tissue and feel like maybe I waited too long (though I technically didn’t have a choice). I also use silicone scar tape when not massaging, and a hand therapy ball to massage and do exercises through the day. I’d love to know how long it’s taken others. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have tips for how to massage a carpal tunnel incision? I’m four weeks post surgery and at the two week mark, my surgeon said I should start massaging the area, including over the scar. Unfortunately, it was just too tender to massage over the scar because not only was there a ton of dry skin that was pulling, but the fresh skin that was growing was just so sensitive to the touch.

Now that I’m at four weeks, the incision is super hard. I’m assuming that that is scar tissue. It still feels uncomfortable to massage over it but I can do so. I’m wondering if there’s any techniques that I can do to break up the scar tissue. Has anyone had a similar issue, or am I too late to the game? I worry I missed out by just massaging the sides of the scar and not actually on top of the scar for the past few weeks.

I just have a few questions:
I know I’m not allowed to do any heavy lifting, but am I allowed to wear a backpack with my laptop in it? Will having something on my shoulder affect the wrist?
My surgeon says I can go back to work, but I don’t understand how I can type at this point. My wrist is so stiff still. Instructions they sent me home with say to move my hand around, but that this doesn’t apply if you had surgery for nerve pain. But my surgeon did say just go back to normal. I’m so confused?
Lastly, there’s tons of dried blood under the Steri-Strips. Other than washing it every day, any tips to get it out because it’s getting itchy? Thanks in advance everyone!

Hi all! Was anyone at Schmigadoon tonight? I love Kaleigh Cronin and would have loved to see her take on Melissa. I also wonder how they handled her scenes where she says 'I'm not pregnant, I have an IUD' when she is very clearly pregnant in real life? I wonder if they had some different text for her? I feel like they're so innovative, but would love to hear what they came up with. If anyone saw her as Mildred, I'd love to hear how she was, too. Yay for understudies!!

Hi all! Having surgery on my dominant hand in two weeks. I’m so nervous, but they’re going to give me anesthesia so I’m happy about that. Supposedly it’s usually done while awake!

Looking for tips post op. I live alone but will be staying with fam for about a week. I’ve taken 3 days off work. Here are some questions:

- how soon can I type or use my mouse?

- how do we brush our teeth with the other hand? Or use the bathroom?!

- do I need to sleep on my back to keep my arm raised?

- how do I get dressed, esp putting on a bra?

Any other hot tips?

Thanks so much in advance!!
