This may be a long shot- but I purchased a cheaper camcorder on Amazon (brand is Muitune). There was no manual with it for some odd reason, so that doesn’t help.

I’m trying to simply connect my camcorder to my laptop so I can upload my videos. It comes with a USB C cable so I used that. There’s supposed to be a pop up when I plug in my camcorder to go into a certain mode, and then I can go into file explorer and so on…. But there’s nothing. The camcorder does charge, but other than that nothing. The only other option is to insert the SIM card into the laptop, but unfortunately I do not have a SIM card slot.
Any help would be great thank you!

We’re going on our honeymoon to St. Lucia and opted to take a helicopter ride to our resort (Sandals grande) instead of taking the road.

Has anyone done this? After reading about how dangerous helicopters can be… I am terrified. Did you feel safe? Was it a quick ride?

I am fairly new to endo as I have just now discussed it with my doctor. So forgive me if this is a silly question!

Every so often I “flare up” (that’s what I’ve called it because I have no idea what it is). Like every couple of months I will
- start bloating with everything I eat, bloated even in the mornings, stomach hurts when I eat anything
-get migraines and/or face pain every day (but no stuffy nose or anything- so I don’t think it’s sinuses. I also have tested out of my allergies)
- fatigue. Just feel like crap too. My sleep also is trash
-feels like I have symptoms of a UTI or even BV? But then it’ll just go away?

Is any of this endo related? I’m trying to narrow down what on earth is happening…

My actual endo pain only occurs during my period.

So far, I’ve gotten my bridesmaids a JavaSok (coffee koozie) and some under eye patches. I am also giving them handwritten letters.

I don’t feel the need to do getting ready photos so I don’t think I’ll get any matching sets, but also not against it I guess.

What’re some other options of good, useful little gifts to get them?

I have struggled with very low sex drive since who knows how long. I’m getting my endo lap in December but I am curious of this…

Is there any other reason you could have a low sex drive with endo, other than pain causing you to refrain? Like your hormones or anxiety or?
Does anyone have experience with that?

I have painful periods, absolutely, but sometimes I am not in pain but still suffer with no sex drive so just curious.

I am an idiot and I scheduled a spray tan the day before my dress alteration appointment. Both of which cannot be rescheduled as they’re both 24/48 hours out. Has anyone done this before and been fine?

I’m mainly freaking out because I’ve never gotten a spray tan and I don’t know how bad it’ll transfer on to my dress when I try it on. 😭

Hi! I’ve never gotten a lash lift and I’m trying to make the decision between getting a traditional or a Korean lash lift.

I have dry sensitive eyes. But no known allergies. Could anyone tell me which one is most recommended and why?? I’m seeing a lot of conflicting views!

Hey all- I am diagnosed OCD and I struggle finding the “good”, if you would. I ruminate on the negative which in return leaves no room for positivity in my brain.

I was told that practicing gratitude could really help with my OCD (yay!). The problem is that I don’t even know where to start. Any tips to becoming consistent with it? Thanks!

When I ruminate about my relationship, it tends to be more so intrusive thoughts about “is this man even right for me”. And you know the OCD drill…then I find more things “wrong” with my partner or how they do things, how “bad” our relationship is. It feels like all I ever see is the “bad” in them or our relationship. It makes me feel like all I have is a negative view of my partner or my relationship and that’s not the case. I love them so much but my brain picks away at the negative.

Has anyone had the same experience and started practicing gratitude each day and learned that it helps get rid of those thoughts? I don’t know where to start but I’m curious if that or journaling about the “good” would help.

Our last name will be Bush.

We’re looking to add glowing Marquee letters on the stage at our reception but my future last name is making the decision a little tricky… lol.

Would it look better to do just “Bush” or “The Bushes”?

My fiancé makes twice as much as I do, so naturally he has more in savings than I do. A large chunk of our balance will be paid by him, and some paid by me. I feel extremely guilty for this, despite him telling me it’s fine. Idk, has anyone got any tips on how to not feel guilty during this? I wish I could contribute more.

We’re going here for our honeymoon the end of October. A lot of the excursions almost look like they’re the same but just a tad different. So really just wondering if there are suggestions for certain excursions that are worth doing??

I listen to Simply Soph and I love it but she doesn’t make a whole lot of episodes so I’ve run out. I like her vibe.

I am really just interested in a podcast where they talk about a balanced/holistic lifestyle, tips on navigating burn out/anxiety/depression, fertility, exercise, etc. But something laid back, as if you were talking with a friend.
I love listening to podcasts with doctors but sometimes it feels like a chore to listen to them lol.

I can only get to one cardio class this week so I have the choice between Pipeline and Athletica. If you had to choose, which one would you go for?

Both sound… scary 😳😂

Hey gals! I hit 30 and almost felt like I immediately started having a midlife crisis haha.

Anyone here that works an 8-5 Monday through Friday…how do you possibly keep up with your hobbies, a relationship/friendships, working out, eating healthy, etc?

The weekends off are glorious but I feel like I shouldn’t be living for them either.

I feel like life feels so heavy and that I can’t balance everything. I’d love some tips to help. ❤️

I will go through my theme of relationship OCD (or so that’s what I think). I will ruminate, and think about how my relationship isn’t “perfect” and all of the things that are “wrong” and maybe I don’t like my partner as much as I think and are we even a good match?

So then I bring up the convo to my partner. I obviously don’t bring up the whole “do I like you” thing to him because I know that is damaging.

Anyways, after the conversation occurs I feel like the next day, I feel way better about my relationship, and that everything is great! Things feel lighter and lovelier and I don’t find myself thinking about the negatives

Im assuming having that conversation with him is me reassurance seeking isn’t it… 😭

I’ve always been told to sit with the uncertainty, but I never know really how to. Because it feels like when I do, I ruminate more. Maybe I am not doing it correctly?

In my case, my ROCD is centered around my relationship not being perfect, the overwhelming thought that I will cheat and that I find other men attractive. If I sit with that, it feels more so like guilt and shame
