#jeannie bean is back

Yandere Jean and Scott X Men Evolution and Jean's little sibling who can control blood (even if it's inside of someone else)

Aaaawwwww! Those two are so cute! And you bet those two are overprotective. Let's try this out:

It seemed the mutant gene was part of her family. Jean knew this because her little sibling was here, dropped off by their parents, and grinning up at her.

"Hey, Jeannie-Bean. How've you been?" they ask, pulling their suitcase a little closer to their legs. Their skin seems to be a bit pale and ashen, as though they had anemia or had lost some blood.

"I could ask the same about you. What happened, Reader?" She's worried, especially since her parents didn't say what your mutation was or what they think might have brought it to the surface.

"I'm fine... I, uh... Had a small accident. But I'm okay! I can, just... kinda control blood, is all," you mumble. And your older sister stares at you... Then is looking you over, calling for someone inside the large mansion.

"SCOTT! Get out here! I need someone to help make sure they aren't hurt anywhere!"

A voice answers her, and suddenly the tallest person you've ever seen steps out, and is standing next to Jean, looking down at you, his eyes obscured by red glasses. "Oh... Um... hi?"

"Hi."

"Scott! Help me make sure they're okay!"

"Jean, I'm fine! I can control blood! Anything that was there is barely scabbed over, if not just a scar by now!" you yelp, pulling yourself back a bit. You look up at the tall teen, and at her tall friend. "So... you're Scott."

"Um... yes?"

"Jean talks about you a lot. You're a good guy. Keep being good to her, or else I'll slow your blood pressure," you say, then walk into the large building. "How big is this place?!"

"I... that's your sibling?"

"Yes! They're pretty cute, aren't they?"

"Yes... Did... did they say how their power showed up?"

"No," Jean replies. She's worried about that, too, but, her sibling isn't going to say what happened if they think it will upset her.

"We can find out later. Okay, let's help them get settled," Scott decides, and then the two are going after Reader, hoping to show them everything they can about the Institute.

Scott finds that he likes Jean's sibling. A LOT.

They're funny, they care about others, and whenever someone gets hurt, they help control the blood flow so there is minimal bruising and damage. They're a nice kid. That being said-

They wanted to tell him something.

"I, um... Scott. You and Jean are friends, right?"

"Yeah... What's up? Is something wrong?" he asks carefully.

"No... Yes... I... I wanted to tell you how i... kickstarted my powers..."

And that explains why they're so nervous.

"Why not tell Jean? She's your sibling, she'd help you through it," he offers, trying to comfort them with that.

"Yeah. That's the point. She worries, Scott. She worries so much, and I just- I can't keep adding to that worry. She's got so much going on, and I just- I can't bring her down," they answer quietly. A few tears start to leak from their eyes, and they sniffle quietly.

"I- I had an accident. A really, really bad accident Scott. There were bullies, an-and police, and there was s-so much blood... I- I th-tho-thought I was gonna die, Scott," they cried, then without hesitation start bawling.

Scott does the only thing he can think of and holds them, rocking them back and forth the way Jean would do with him or Kitty or Kurt when they were upset. "That's it, kid, just let it out... You're okay, you'll be okay..." He isn't sure how long they stay like that, him holding Reader while they cry their heart out. And it all makes sense now.

This kid really is special, aren't they?

Jean sees the good, loving nature in them, the way they smile and soldier on, the way they try not to hold grudges, how they do their best to make her and others smile and feel loved-

But they also need all of that, too. Given and given in spades.

Later on, he tells Jean about what her sibling told him, which ends in them holding each other as they try not to cry.

They make a promise to each other. A few, actually.

"If anything happens to me, Scott... I want- I need you to take care of them. Please," she whispers, a tear rolling down her cheek. He wipes it off with a gentle touch, giving her a small kiss.

"I will, Jean. We'll both do it, together. Please, please help me keep them safe. Please let me help you watch out for them," he says, and his answer is a short sob and nod.

They know they're both scared. That for as strong as they are, for as strong as Reader is, that there is only so much they can do. But with what they can do, with what power they have, they will do everything to keep them safe, to keep them loved and cared for. It's a promise, and not one they intend to break.

"I think we can have a movie night with them... They love those," Jean adds after awhile, and the two share a watery grin. They'll do what they can, starting with making some popcorn and getting Reader up to watch some of their favorite movies with them.

can u give me some songs recs? literally anything i just want to upgrade my music taste

Hi anon!!

Oooo this is a very open question, I’ll try to keep it fairly short! So apart from 1D (as a band and individually) I personally also really like 5SOS, Little Mix, The 1975, Ed Sheeran, all of the heartstopper soundtrack and a few random songs here and there. I’ll give you some personal faves from each?

5SOS

Voodoo Doll, Teeth, BLENDER, Lover of Mine, Permanent Vacation, Safety Pin, Lie to Me

Little Mix

Salute, I won’t, Power, Told You So, Wasabi, No, Kiss My (Uh Oh)

The 1975

(I prefer their earlier music personally) Robbers, Chocolate, Girls, Love Me, UGH!, She’s American

Ed Sheeran

Drunk, Take It Back, Galway Girl, Nancy Mulligan, South Of The Border (feat. Camila Cabello & Cardi B), Boat, Colourblind, American Town

Heartstopper Soundtrack

I also love pretty much EVERYTHING from NATI. She’s a Scottish singer, still fairly new. If you have TikTok I HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking out her stuff, especially her traditional Scottish covers (you’ll need to scroll down her page a bit but I promise you it’s worth it!!) like Lads Among Heather, Bonnie Lass Of Fyvie, Bonnie Wee Jeannie McColl, The Drunken Scotsman

So much for keeping it short 😂 anyway THANKS FOR THE ASK ANON I HOPE THIS HELPS!!

COFFEE BEANS, TEA LEAVES & CENDOL

Jeannie and I revisited a well-known coffee chain, experiencing its renovated, clinical, cramped interior. We went for a lighter Iced Mocha with whipped cream and a smaller-than-usual cendol cake. The atmosphere made for a pleasant hangout.

It has been quite a while since a visit has been made to an “established” coffee joint. Can I say established? I just did. Should the word be a “branded” coffee joint instead? Here it means a well known name with many outlets. To be more precise, a cafe brand with strong financial backing. Jeannie and I had some time at mid-evening. I asked Jeannie, “Coffee and cake with icing, the soft, mushy,…

EDITOR:  If you all followed Pauline Cannon’s story each week by Ashton Hester, you might understand the connection I feel with her, although she has passed on to her heavenly reward.  To quote her “Each time I go back to Tamassee to visit, I feel as if I have left a part of me there, and I am homesick for at least a week before I get over it. I have so many memories of friends and teachers that I learned to love while I was there. . .I thank God for Tamassee. It is truly the place of the sunlight of God!!”   I hope to inspire this same passion and love in others.  As with anything in life that you cherish, you must protect and nurture it, whether is it your family, your home, your school, or your community.   LMartin

Jottings from Jeannie: Benefit of Small Town Living   Hooray for the Salem Library!  Kayla and Abigail are SO helpful.  Attractive displays change with the seasons.  Currently, free vegetable, fruit, herb and flower seeds are available.  Hey!  I do not own a tractor, nor do have hours to invest tending  crops.  I am delighted to receive my allotted FIVE envelopes  each the size of a Sweet and Low packet.   I DID put on my coveralls and straw hat to plant fall crops:  cilantro. cabbage, mixed salad greens, and beans.   If I lived in Baghdad on the Reedy (Greenville), surely all of the seeds would be gone before I could fight traffic to their library.  Oh!  Oconee County, I love you more each day! Aren't we lucky and blessed! Miz Jeannie

@mutatedangels / in reply to this, bc new blog!

jeannie already wasn't a forgiving person. everyone always called her an ice queen, mostly because no one could give up a good figure skating pun, but the truth was that she felt her emotions very intensely. when she felt happy, it was elation. when she was sad, she was depressed. if she was angry, she felt rage. (a doctor once suggested that jeannine had a mood disorder, but her mother just said that was who her little jean bean was, and they never went back to that doctor again.) if she felt betrayed, well, god help you, she'd make you feel like shit until she got over it.

jeannie didn't know if she'd be able to get over this, though. all the other betrayals from her friends in the past, it was generally rumor spreading or choreography stealing. one time, alexandra evanston kissed brian fogherty after jeannie told lexi the night before that she had a crush on brian. they ended up dating for three years. none of that compared to soleil's betrayal. again, she only half-believed her lies, but she half-believed them. she gave a skeptical eye to the details that didn't quite match up or the stories that snowballed into something even bigger and better the more she told them, but tried to give her friend the benefit of the doubt. maybe she misremembered something, memory wasn't always reliable after all, or maybe soleil held back on some things to protect some celebrity's identity.

it must've been easier to lie the longer that soleil did it. well, it was the same for jeannie. it was easier to believe the lies the longer she hung out with soleil, though she was now pretty sure it was some sort of defense mechanism. even if she thought a lot of the things that her friend said were bullshit, she had to believe them, because if she didn't, if she called her out, then jeannie would have no one. she didn't want to admit to being friendless, but it was the truth. there were very few people in her entire life that jeannie could say she had an actual, genuine friendship with. she thought she had that with soleil. evidently, she didn't.

she already made up her mind to be mad. that's why soleil's apology didn't get through to her. she didn't want an explanation, or even really an apology. jeannie wanted to yell at her and have her take it. her cheeks were red, her neck too. flushed from the heat outside and from the anger brewing inside her. the embarrassment, too. it was only a matter of time before everyone else found out soleil was a liar. jeannie had defended her when others questioned soleil's tales. it would reflect back on her. soleil had made a fool out of jeannine.

"whatever." that was all she could think to say to the apology, even if the use of the nickname tugged at her heartstrings a bit. she folded her arms again, looked out the window. despite her coldness, she didn't actually leave. maybe she was a glutton for punishment. this felt like a punishment: trust someone, jeannie, and it will just blow up in your face! though she wasn't looking at soleil, she was listening.

she let her speak, though kept her eyes anywhere but on soleil. that didn't stop her face from reacting, brows furrowing or mouth frowning at certain points. she was beginning to realize that soleil wasn't the only one put upon a pedestal. jeannie was right up there next to her, because soleil really didn't know what she had been feeling inside. accept what she had? all jeannie did was wish for something else. wish that she made other choices. wish that she was someone else entirely. she may have been dealing with it, but barely. she numbed herself to the world with drugs and dumb guys she didn't really want to hang out with, but they were usually the ones with the drugs. she tolerated her job because her father said she had to have one or she couldn't live with him. besides, it was nice to have at least some money, even if it was from fuckin' big lots.

okay, so maybe soleil had made jeannie feel alive.

her larger-than-life experiences (which turned out to be false), the way she lit up a room like a movie starlet from the golden age of hollywood. the way she could make a bottle of jack and a marathon of love after lockup seem like they were lounging in a penthouse apartment in the city, fabulous and fabulously wealthy. maybe jeannie needed soleil's lies as much as soleil did.

still, she lied, though. that wasn't just some little thing. jeannie pinched the bridge of her nose. "listen, 'm sorry you hate yourself so much. that sucks." she had to pretend like she didn't know exactly what that was like—who was the liar now? "but what you did wasn't normal. other people don't like themselves, they get... i don't know... plastic surgery or somethin'. get knocked up by some loser. they don't pretend they know celebrities! they don't lie!" she was getting worked up. she needed to breathe. she closed her eyes, then opened them again after a beat. "soleil, you need help or somethin'. you broke my—" her heart? "—trust."

#mutatedangels #* JEANNIE OH / narrative . #* JEANNIE OH / thread / soleil . #love these southern belles right here #also i started my true blood annual summer rewatch bc of soleil lol i'm already on season 4 #which is coincidentally the season i usually end up stopping watching at bc nothing will compare to 2 and 3!

2023-02-10, Sapporo: A lovely breakfast at Komeda Coffee, a coffeehouse chain going back to the '60s. I had a nice breakfast toast combo with butter and red bean paste (and sandwiches I demolished, not pictured), and Jeannie had a very tasty pizza toast.

Sadly, yet another place we somehow weren't able to get back to. Still, a lovely experience.

In the Recording Studio With You | Chapter 4: Writer’s Retreat Part 1

“I can’t believe we got invited!” James gushed, sitting atop his luggage and sliding across the marble floors of the hotel. 

“Speak for yourself,” Lily chuckled, pasting her name tag onto her shirt. “I know my value.” 

In truth, Lily was equally surprised. Amelia Bones was one of the most sought after producers in the industry and every year, she invited the best and brightest producers, songwriters, and engineers to a week-long retreat at her family’s hotel in Scotland. 

James wheeled himself over to the lift in Lily’s wake, humming the love song they’d last written for Remus and Sirius to perform at the Edinburgh festival. This retreat culminated in the end of Lily and James’ working relationship and, James hoped, it would be the start of their boyfriend-girlfriend, hold-hands-and-walk-into-the-sunset relationship. 

“Hold the lift!” a shrill, panicked voice called out.

James immediately stuck his arm out and pushed on the doors until they got the message and slid open again. 

“Thank you! You’re a life-saver!” The woman could not be described as bubbly, although her words could be infused with exclamation points. She had thin lips, overlined with bright red lipstick, and a short, sharp bob of brown hair. 

“Oh my God, you’re Amelia Bones,” Lily was saying before she could stop herself. 

The woman smiled like one might to a child who’d spoken out of turn. The child was cute, but not very classy. “Pleased to meet you, Lily Evans.”

Oh, right, her name tag was going to forever associate her with this faux pas. She wanted to die. 

“And uh, Bowie Davidson?” Amelia raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow at James, who saw name tags as an opportunity for mischief. 

“You don’t think that’s my legitimately legal name?” James raised one eyebrow back, smirk blooming across his face, carving out deep dimples beside his lips — 

Lily shook herself out of it just as the doors opened. “Well, this is my floor. It was nice meeting you both — I mean, you, Amelia, obviously, I know James. Er, can I call you Amelia?”

Before Amelia could answer, the doors slid shut and Lily was left facing the reflective exterior. Her cheeks were about as much on fire as her hair. 

Read on Ao3 :)

A/N: Those of you familiar with my work will know what Amelia’s sudden appearance means 😈👀 Thank you as always to my trusty beta reader @pianistbynight​​ 🤗

AU-gust 2021 ( Day 22 )

Theatre

(in which Rodney is the reluctant director of this year's Atlantis Junior Theatre Guild Summer Special & John is the biggest fan of their lead actress)

.

"Excuse me."

Rodney leads his turn with the clipboard, knowing full well it will hit — at the very least — the shoulder of anyone stupid enough to approach him. Sadly, the guy who tapped his shoulder moves just in time to avoid the collision.

"Whoa there!" Shoulder Tapper exclaims, stepping back with both hands in the air. "Careful with that thing. You might take someone's eye out."

Before Rodney can say anything about that being the whole point, he looks up and gets his first proper look of his intruder. "You're supposed to be on stage."

"What?" The man blinks. "Did you just — Oh, no! I'm not — I’m John Sheppard, and I don't — ”

Rodney sniffs. "I distinctly remember calling all actors to be ‘on stage’. That's the right one, isn't it?" He breaks eye contact to consult his clipboard. Sure enough, Madison's surprisingly impressive handwriting is there: Artistic Team Huddle - "Actors on Stage" (No Cursing, Uncle Mer.)

"Er, that's what I'm trying to say. I, I'm not actor."

Rodney looks up and narrows his eyes. "Well, you should be."

For some reason, that seems to fluster John Sheppard. The tips of his ears turn red, and he starts rubbing his neck furiously. "Thanks? I don't know about you, buddy, but I'm definitely older than twelve."

"Oh god. You're not Maddie’s new assistant stage manager, are you?" Rodney's going to do it this time; he'll tie Madison's feet together and throw her into a lake. Jeannie's probably going to kill him when she comes back from Germany, but it might just be worth it.

"Nope," a loud voice booms from behind Rodney. When he turns, he's not entirely surprised to find Ronon, flanked on both sides by Teyla and Rodney's wretched fourteen-year-old niece. "That's me."

"Ronon?" Rodney stares at Madison. "Your new assistant is Ronon?"

Madison shrugs. "He said he's free." She then turns to Sheppard. "Hi, Mr. Sheppard. Bean's on stage, doing limber with Laura."

"Wait." Rodney lifts a finger. "How do you know each other?"

"He's Bean's uncle, Uncle Mer."

Rodney blinks. "And who's Bean?"

Teyla grabs his elbow, her trademark move when she’s trying to stop him from doing something that’s apparently frowned upon in polite society. “Your Annie, Rodney.”

“Beatrice Anne?”

That only seems to make Sheppard smile proudly. “That’s her professional stage name, yeah. But we call her Bean at home.”

“Is there something you needed, Mr. Sheppard?” Madison asks, her clipboard making her look even more imperious than Jeannie with a whiteboard marker. “I can pull out Bean if you want. I’m the stage manager. I can do that.”

Rodney snorts, but Sheppard only shakes his head. “Nah. Just wanted to come up here and finally meet your director, that’s all. Bean’s been talking about him all week. I’ll see myself out now, thanks.”

With one last grin thrown Rodney’s way, Sheppard is out, Madison and Ronon trailing after him.

When they’re gone, Rodney sighs and sends Teyla a grave look. “We should be doing Arcadia.”

“I don’t think they’re old enough for Stoppard, Rodney.”

“And what am I even doing here? I’m an astrophysicist, for crying out loud!”

Teyla laughs. “And I’m a barrister, but when you asked for my help because your niece is assisting with a local children’s play while your sister is gone, I did not hesitate to spend my vacation here instead of in Barbados, like I originally planned. I am a good friend, and you are a good uncle.

“Yeah, umm. Thanks again for being my production manager, Teyla.”

“I couldn’t very well say no, now could I? You were crying when you called.”

“That was Madison!”

Teyla laughs again and links her arm with his. "In any case, did you know that Mr. Sheppard has been here since the start of rehearsals? And he’s been wanting to say hi to you since last week.”

“What? No he hasn’t!”

Pancakes

Summary: Modern!Alfie’s wife is down with the flu so he has to take care of their five children before they head off to school. 

@justanothershelby​ for witnessing my pathetic attempt at pancakes. 

           Alfie’s wife was a machine in the kitchen. She worked fast and turned out amazing meals like no one’s business. It was just one of her many gifts. From the start of their marriage, through the birth of their five children, she always kept the home smelling like heaven.

He was always grateful for Marian and did his best not to take her for granted. Still, it was quite the bombshell in the household when she got the flu. It put her completely out of commission, she was barely strong enough to sit up in bed.

The morning after she started to feel ill, Alfie got up early to wake the kids. Marian rolled over.

“Call my mother. She’ll come over to help with the kids.” She spoke weakly, her voice scratchy and faint.

“I can take care of them.” He promised her as he got dressed. “You just rest, I’ll come check on you in a bit.”

“Alfie…” Marian sighed. “Alright, alright.” She was too tired to argue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

There were five Solomons children. Clara was the oldest and was turning thirteen in a month. Esther, their second born, was ten. Lewis was eight, Jeannie was six, and the youngest was Henry at only eighteen months.

No one said having five children was easy. But it was something special in the Jewish community. And that, Alfie, embraced. Still didn’t erase the sleepless nights, but he adored his children. They were the light of his lives. He and Marian were stopping at five, though.

Alfie went about waking the children like it was a battle strategy. He helped Marian wake them up every morning before he left for work, but he’d never done it on his own before.

Clara was the first. Turning into a teenager, she wasn’t keen on waking up for school. That meant knocking on her door first. The first attempt of many to wake her.

No doubt Lewis was already awake, the little boy never liked to stay in bed. So, Alfie opened his door and herded him out to the kitchen, telling him not to bother Marian.

Esther and Jeannie slept in the same room together even though the two often bickered. Alfie got them both up and helped Jeannie get dressed. He instructed Esther to go knock on Clara’s door again while he got Henry up and dressed.

Esther ran back into the nursery and said Clara was yelling at her. Alfie sighed and picked up Henry. He knocked on his eldest’s door again.

���Go away!”

“Time for school, up ‘n at ‘em.” Alfie couldn’t understand why they went through the same routine every morning. Clara knew she never won the argument. “I have to get breakfast started for your siblings, so you better be up soon.” He warned before carrying his son downstairs.

“Right, breakfast time.” He searched through the ‘fridge. “What do you kiddos want, aye? Bagels? Toast?”

“Pancakes!” Jeannie banged on the table.

“Pancakes?” Alfie frowned and checked the clock on the wall. He supposed they had enough time although he wasn’t too confident about his cooking ability. “Alright…” He searched through the cabinets and luckily found a box of mix. Usually, Marian made her pancakes from scratch, but there was no way Alfie was attempting that.

“Esther go make sure your sister’s awake, tell her she’s in big trouble if I have to go up there.” He said as he began to prepare the mix.

Lewis wandered over to the refrigerator and stood on his tip-toes to get orange juice from the top shelf.

“What do you need, mate, I’ll get it for you.” Alfie hated multitasking but having children was nothing but multitasking.

“Daddy, I hafta go potty,” Jeannie called from the breakfast nook.

“Alright, love, then go on. You can go yourself, you’re a big girl.” He poured a glass of juice for Lewis. “Be careful with that.” He said before handing it to the young boy and returning to the stove.

Esther came back downstairs. “Clara says she don’t care if she’s in trouble.”

Alfie stifled a few swear words and shook his head. “Fine, sit down, I’ll take care of it.”

There was a shattering sound and Lewis began to wail. Alfie looked over and saw he’d dropped the glass of juice on his way to the table.

“Oh, Lew, don’t move.” Alfie rushed over to pick Lewis up and deposit him in a chair so he wouldn’t get cut on the glass.

Cyril came trotting over and tried to lap up the juice off the floor. Alfie shooed him away and started to pick up the pieces of glass. Lewis was still wailing from his seat.

“For Christ-” Alfie let out a frustrated noise and went to the bottom of the stairs. “Clara Solomons get down here right now and help with your brother or you’ll be grounded until you’re thirty!” He shouted.

“Daddy, s’burning!” Esther cried.

Indeed, the pancakes on the griddle were burning. Alfie hurried back over to turn them and lower the stove.

Clara came stomping down the steps a few minutes later with a sour look on her face. She was all her father, but Alfie didn’t appreciate the attitude.

“Sleeping Beauty’s up then? Great. Will you help clean up that spill?” Alfie asked.

“Why?”

“Because you live under me roof where your mum and I pay for everything you could possibly want. Stop questioning me.” Alfie chose to ignore her muttering under her breath something about ‘unfairness’.

He got a quiet ten minutes and finished up breakfast. He got them on a plate and set them down in front of each of the kids.

Jeannie, Lewis, and Esther all looked at the pancakes with disappointment. “Mummy makes them into the letters of our names, daddy.”

“Right, well, I can’t do that.” He replied.

“Lewie likes Mickey Mouse pancakes, daddy.” His daughter continued.

“Well, Jean-Bean they’ll taste the same no matter what shape they’re in. You need to get going to school soon so eat up.”

Esther made a face after the first bite.

“What?” Alfie frowned.

“They taste weird.”

“I made them from the box, Es, I’m sure they taste fine.”

“Mum makes them from scratch,” Clara said grumpily. “That’s why they taste bad.”

To say Alfie had a headache was an understatement. He had five headaches. “Well, I can toast you up some bread quick or you can eat them. But you ain’t gonna be late for school.”

Clara rolled her eyes but continued eating. Henry seemed pleased to be stuffing his face full of syrup-soaked pancakes. And although Jeannie and Esther looked gloomy about the bland circle-shaped food, they ate too.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Eventually, the rest finished eating and Alfie sent them out the door with their backpacks. He cleaned Henrys’ face up and set him in front of the TV with some toys so he could have some peace to clean the kitchen.

After cleaning up the sticky mess off the table, he made tea for Marian and went upstairs. His wife stirred when he set down the mug and checked her forehead to feel if he fever had gotten worse.

“I heard shouting.” She mumbled.

“Yeah, Clara was fussing.” He answered. “But they’ve all left. Henry is playing downstairs.”

“You did it.” She smiled and yawned. “I’m proud of you.”

He chuckled. “They didn’t appreciate my pancakes. Can’t make ‘em as good as you can.”

“You’ll learn.” She closed her eyes. “Thank you for taking care of them.”

“Just doing my job, love.” He kissed her cheek. “Sleep up, call me if you need me.”

How to stop pain of menstrual cramps

Menstrual cramps, or primary dysmenorrhea, are an uncomfortable part of life for many women on a monthly basis. Dysmenorrhea is thought to be caused by compounds in the body known as prostaglandins. Before menstruation starts each month, the level of prostaglandins in the lining of the uterus increases Period pain can be so bad that doctors have actually given it a medical name: dysmenorrhea. It’s a very common condition. More than half of women who menstruate report some pain from period cramps each month, according to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). It’s common problem to feel discomfort around your abdomen, lower back, and thighs when you’re menstruating. These are called cramps. During your period, the muscles of your womb gets contracted and relax to help shed built-up lining. So you may experience cramps, which are your muscles at work. Some women and girls may experience nausea, vomiting, headaches, or diarrhea during their periods. Some basic reasons for painful menstruation are : having an overproduction or sensitivity to prostaglandins, a hormone that influences your womb heavy blood flow having your first child being under the age of 20, or just beginning of your period Other reasons include growths in your womb, endometriosis (abnormal uterine tissue growth), and use of birth control. For mild to temporary cramps, some home remedies can help provide relief. These are proven methods given by 3MEDS, the best online pharmacy in Delhi to feel relaxed during periods. Yoga poses Whether it's the stretching of your muscles or the relaxing effect of the poses, a regular yoga practice can indeed help your cramps. Heat Applying heat to your abdomen and lower back may relieve pain. A 2012 study focused on 147 women 18 to 30 years old who had regular menstrual cycles found that a heat patch at 104°F (40°C) was as effective as ibuprofen. Topically applied heat was just as effective as ibuprofen for period cramps. Over the two study days, the women used heat alone, heat plus ibuprofen, ibuprofen alone, or a placebo. The best results were in the heat plus ibuprofen group; adding heat led to faster improvements. Buy heating pads online.

Acupuncture Acupuncture can help relieve cramps, says Jeannie Bianchi, a licensed acupuncturist in San Francisco. This ancient Asian healing method is thought to relax the nervous system, allow more blood to flow to internal organs, and quell inflammation. Herbal Tea Varieties Certain teas may help relieve menstrual cramps, says Sonya Angelone, a registered dietitian nutritionist in the San Francisco Bay area. Buy herbal teas online. Magnesium Dietary magnesium seems to help ease the pain of cramps. Magnesium is found in many foods, including almonds, black beans, spinach, yogurt, and peanut butter. Massage Massaging your skin with certain aromatic essential oils can relieve menstrual cramp pain, according to research published inThe Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research. Investigators asked 48 women with menstrual cramps and other symptoms to massage either essential oils or a synthetic fragrance into their lower abdomen between periods. Women in both groups reported less pain, but the essential oils group did better. Based on the women's reports, researchers found that the duration of pain was reduced by almost a half a day after self-massaging with the essential oils. Order best massaging oil using best pharmacy app online. Diet Start by swapping out less healthy fats like the saturated fats found in animal products for healthier ones like unsaturated fats found in olive oil. Overall, try to make the fats you eat better quality, such as those found in fish or nuts, the organization suggests.

Papaya is rich in vitamins. Brown rice contains vitamin B-6, which may reduce bloating. Walnuts, almonds, and pumpkin seeds are rich in manganese, which eases cramps. Olive oil and broccoli contain vitamin E. Chicken, fish, and leafy green vegetables contain iron, which is lost during menstruation. Flaxseed contains omega-3s with antioxidant properties, which reduce swelling and inflammation. Herbs These herbal remedies contain anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic compounds that experts believe can reduce the muscle contractions and swelling associated with menstrual pain. chamomile tea fennel seeds cinnamon ginger dill pycnogenol Water Drinking water keeps your body from retaining water and helps to avoid painful bloating during menstruation. Warm or hot water is usually better for cramps, as hot liquids increase blood flow to your skin and may relax cramped muscles. You can also eat water-based foods to increase your hydration, including: lettuce celery cucumbers watermelon berries, including strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries Calcium Foods high in calcium include: dairy products sesame seeds almonds leafy green vegetables Calcium is also available in supplement form. But speak to your doctor before taking supplements to find out if it’s safe for you. These are basic ways to avoid cramps during menstruation. Apply it frequently to get the results. The cramps are normal, deal with it.

First Frost

This story features my Jeannie Hawke, and is a sequel to Three Goats. She and Fenris moved to an isolated farm in southern Ferelden and began a family, which then expanded when they took in several refugee mage children.

________________

First frost filled Jeannie Hawke with bittersweet melancholy and a particular sense of peace. First frost blackened the leaves and bent the stems, but though there were a million little deaths around her, the land itself was only readying for sleep. Her beautiful, bushy summer greens were suddenly a withered mess, but the carrots and rutabagas grew sweeter underground. The trees were red and yellow, their crowns aflame in the sun. The sunlight itself was almost palpable it was so rich, thick like honey, and there was a sharp smell of cold nights and approaching snow that she’d missed in Kirkwall. The smell of evenings by the fire and roasted apples and a slowing down and gathering in, things that had their essential place in the cycle, just as she did.

The Blight had brushed this land, ten years ago. It was why they’d come here, after Kirkwall. There had been so many things there that she couldn’t heal, but this bit of land, perhaps, she could. There were worse places, much worse--places that would sicken any plant or animal that  ventured there for lifetimes to come. But where life could gain a hold, life could heal.

Jeannie pulled the weeds that cold would not kill, saving herself the trouble come spring. While her body moved, her mind was free to wander. It was a temporary peace, this, and a painfully limited one. Outside of their little world of goats and gardens and children, war raged. It cut into their peace sometimes, when one of the mage children woke from nightmares. Fenris would get that faraway look after every letter from Varric or secondhand broadsheet that made it to the cabin. The children couldn’t spend their lives here; they’d need more than this little meadow in the woods could give them. But she wanted to selfishly cling to it all for a little longer.

“Auntie!” Finna, the eldest of the mage children, called from the cabin. Jeannie straightened up, stretching her back.

“What is it?”

“The baby’s crying for milk, and Liesie’s knocked over the bean crock.”

Jeannie sighed and turned, and as she did, virulent green light spilled over everything. It lit Finna’s face as she stared openmouthed at the sky. Jeannie turned in dreamlike slowness, and saw the distant, impossible slash of the Rift just as the concussion reached them--a sudden, indescribable rushing push of wild magic, a boom somewhere below the level of hearing.

Ridiculously, the first thought that wandered by was that she wished the peace had lasted long enough to get the garlic planted.

Bob rescued a puppy And Mary, a cat, Jeannie rescued a skunk And Billy, a 3-tooth bat, I rescued some kidlets And brought the mother too, Gave them a forever home What about you?

But I have noticed Some folks want to give them back, Perhaps for misbehavior Or life took another tack, And another thing I wonder Why don't they rescue a cow? I think I know the reason They are eating one right now.

In the U.S. we love to eat The meat of many creatures, Be they hooved, finned or scaled All kinds of different features, And in other countries folks Might eat the cat or dog, Why is that any different Than Kobi Beef or hog?

Here we've got some folks Rescuing dogs from China, What if Chinese came to rescue pigs From a butcher in South Carolina? Foreigners in our country Disrupting our food supply, If I were Butcher Bob I might offer a shotgun pie.

When you are shoving your beliefs Down the gullet of a foreign devil, You may need rescuing yourself After getting beaned with an iron bevel, Why not just stay home And rescue to your hearts content, Find a cat, dog, skunk or turtle And consider it money well spent.

LUCY, THE SHOPPING EXPERT

S1;E20 ~ February 17, 1969

Directed by Jack Donohue ~ Written by Milt Josefsberg and Al Schwartz

Synopsis

Craig gets a part-time job in a supermarket to earn money to buy a surfboard. At the same time, Lucy is giving Kim some valuable lessons in smart shopping. When the two accidentally converge, chaos ensues - naturally!

Regular Cast

Lucille Ball (Lucy Carter), Gale Gordon (Harrison Otis Carter), Lucie Arnaz (Kim Carter), Desi Arnaz Jr. (Craig Carter)

Guest Cast

William Lanteau (Mr. Sherwood, Supermarket Manager) first appeared with Lucille Ball in The Facts of Life (1960). In addition to an episode of “The Lucy Show,” Lanteau did four episodes of “Here’s Lucy.”  He is best remembered for playing Charlie the Mailman in the play and the film On Golden Pond (1981).

Mr. Sherwood is the winner of the Golden Can Award for his shelf arrangements.

Ernest Sarracino (Mr. Nicoletti, Produce Manager) played the Judge in “Lucy and the Runaway Butterfly” (TLS S1;E29), also directed by Jack Donohue. This is the first of his two episodes of “Here’s Lucy.”  His screen acting credits span from 1939 to 1994.

Although never actually referred to as Mr. Nicoletti, the character is credited in honor of Louis Nicoletti, a long-time member of the Desilu family who was the assistant director of “Here's Lucy” from 1968 to 1969, including this episode.  In addition to making on camera appearances on “I Love Lucy” and “The Lucy Show,” there were two characters named after him on “I Love Lucy.”  Here the character is played as a stereotypical Italian fruit vendor and speaks in Italian to Lucy: “You make-a da dent?  Dat's-a 39 cents!”  

Irwin Charone (Mr. Garfield, of the Nippy Whippy Whipped Cream Company) made five appearances on “The Lucy Show.” The expressive character actor also did an equal number of “Here’s Lucy” episodes. He died in January 2016 in Maplewood, New Jersey, at the age of 93.  

The restaurant patrons and supermarket shoppers are played by uncredited background players.

At the start of the episode Kim brings home ethnic foods because the grocer Mr. Goldapper recommended them.  This is an inside joke as Goldapper is Gary Morton's real last name.   Gary Morton's loud guffaw can be distinctly heard on the soundtrack throughout the episode.

Craig says he knows all about the facts of life since he was seven because he watched “Peyton Place.” Based on a 1956 novel, “Peyton Place” was a primetime soap opera that aired on ABC from 1964 to 1969. The title has become synonymous with the personal problems and scandals of small-town life.  It was mentioned several times on “The Lucy Show” including in “Lucy and Joan” (TLS S4;E4) which also took place in a supermarket.  

Instead of “Peyton Place,” Harry says he regrets wasting his time watching “Captain Kangaroo.”  “Captain Kangaroo” was a children’s television series that aired weekday mornings on CBS from October 1955 to December 1984. The Captain (Bob Keeshan, above right) would tell stories, meet guests, and indulge in silly stunts with regular characters, both humans and puppets. Captain Kangaroo was previously mentioned on several episodes of “The Lucy Show.”  

Gale Gordon's monologue about the birds and the bees is nearly four minutes long and gets a round of applause from the studio audience. It is highly unlikely that teenage Craig would let him go on so long when all he wants is $100! 

There is a poster in the supermarket featuring pumpkins and pilgrims so this episode was likely filmed in November 1968.

While most of the prop canned goods look like actual products, the cans of Chef Claudio's Ravioli Dinner look like something contrived by the Desilu prop department.  It is likely a tribute to director Claudio Guzman, who started with the company in 1958 and directed 15 episodes of “The Lucy Show.”  He was best known for his association with “I Dream of Jeannie” (1966-70).  Curiously, although they are visible on camera, they are never referred to in the dialogue – or at least it didn't make the final cut.

Some sample 1969 supermarket prices:

Cantaloupe Melons are 39 cents each.

Strawberries are 50 cents a pint basket.

Medium Eggs are 53 cents a dozen.  

Lucy says the store puts the nicest looking strawberries on top of the basket, but underneath “things can be as rotten as the Harper Valley PTA”!  “Harper Valley PTA" is a country song written by Tom T. Hall that was a hit single for Jeannie C. Riley in 1968. Riley's record sold over six million copies.  The song lyrics tell the story of a woman who is accused of immorality by her daughter's junior high PTA and how she gets her revenge on her hypocritical accusers. The song later gave life to a film (starring Barbara Eden) and a failed television series.  

When Lucy is sloshing the cans to hear how full they are, the clerk asks if she expects to hear Lawrence Welk.  Lawrence Welk (1903-92, above) was a musician, accordionist, bandleader, and television impresario, who hosted TV’s “The Lawrence Welk Show” from 1951 to 1982. Welk was mentioned several times on “The Lucy Show” and also on “Lucy's Birthday” (S1;E8).  Welk will play himself on a 1970 episode of “Here's Lucy” (above, with Vivian Vance). 

Later, when Lucy is holding up the eggs to the light, he tells her they are eggs, “not the Hope Diamond.” The Hope Diamond is one of the most famous jewels in the world, dating back almost four centuries. It is housed in the Smithsonian Institute.  

Lucy is never able to control nozzles and hoses – even on the tip of a can of whipped cream.  The end of the episode is actually a good excuse for a cream pie fight – without the pies!  

A banner in the supermarket advertises a “Storyland Sale” - whatever that may be!  The same banner was used in a supermarket in “Lucy and Joan” (TLS S4;E4).  

Lucy Carmichael also hangs around several different supermarkets to buy a lot of cans of Bailey's Beans for her get-rich-quick scheme in “Lucy the Bean Queen” (TLS S5;E3).  

In this episode, Kim says about her Uncle Harry: “Compared to him, Jack Benny is a regular Diamond Jim Brady.”

On “The Lucy Show,” Lucy Carmichael says to Mr. Mooney: “Compared to you, Jack Benny is Diamond Jim Brady.”  

Comedian Jack Benny (1894-1974, inset right) was a frequent guest star on both shows. His comic persona was that of a skinflint who had every penny he ever made. The same evening this episode first aired, Lucille Ball appeared on Benny’s birthday special on NBC. James Buchanan Brady (1856-1917, inset left) was a real-life millionaire and philanthropist who was fond of jewels (hence the nickname). Brady was first mentioned in “The Business Manager” (ILL S4;E1).  

Craig says he learned the facts of life at age seven while watching “Petyon Place.”  If Desi Arnaz Jr. and Craig are the same age (15 or 16), he would have to have turned 7 in 1960.  “Peyton Place” didn't start airing until 1964. If this were true, the character of Craig Carter would be just 11 or 12 years old!

Craig asks his mother for $100 for a surfboard which Lucy decides against as an unnecessary luxury. However, in “Lucy Visits Jack Benny” (S1;E2), Craig packs his surfboard (much to Lucy's dismay) for his weekend in Palm Springs. 

The precariously stacked display of oranges is built on a slanted surface to allow the oranges to more easily tumble to the floor.  The gag works by the collapsing the structure on which the oranges are arranged on cue – probably a by a stagehand hidden under the table.

Most of the items in the dairy case have their brand name labels conspicuously taped over. Conveniently, the brand name labels on the canned goods are too small for the camera to pick up, so they aren't obscured.

When the whipped cream spray lands on the end of Mr. Sherwood's nose, Craig takes a cloth and wipes it off. Irwin Charone ad libs the line “Never mind my nose.”

“Lucy, The Shopping Expert” rates 3 Paper Hearts out of 5

This is a very colorful episode full of lots of physical gags and some broad acting from the supporting cast. In the middle of the chaos, Gale Gordon delivers a meandering 4 minute monologue about the birds and the bees - literally.  A contrived ending feels forced.
