Ladies you all know

// Am I peeing normally? //

Asked and answered 👇🏼

If you are under the age of 55

🚽 peeing frequency should be 4-8 times in 24 hours OR per 3 hours (you should be able to sit through the movie Titanic 🚢 ...spoiler alert...it sinks)
🚽No peeing at night - you have hormones meant to calm the bladder overnight
🚽Urine the color of wheat 🌾 - pale yellow is the goal. Urine may be slightly darker if you’ve had a lot of salt or not enough water. This isn’t dangerous, however it is a good indicator of your level of hydration and may mean you should have a little more water. Some foods can also change the color - beets may make it pink. Call your doctor if urine is red, brown or cloudy as this could indicate bladder infection or irritation.
🚽There shouldn’t be leaking between visits to the toilet
🚽Peeing should be pain free
🚽Your stream should be strong and smooth. No stuttering.
🚽You should feel relief when done 😌

Over the age of 55

🚽peeing up to 8-10 times in 24 hours is acceptable
🚽1 to 2 night pees is okay in some circumstances
🚽urine should still be pale yellow
🚽The stream may weaken some but should still be smooth without pauses
🚽there shouldn’t be leaking between visits to the toilet💧
🚽Aging can contribute to urine leakage but should not be tolerated unless all treatment options have been tried, including pelvic floor physiotherapy to strengthen the muscles that hold urine in.
🚽Some surgeries can also contribute to urine leakage such as prostatectomy in which the prostate gland is removed.

**Always discuss urine leakage with your doctor AND pelvic floor physiotherapist to find a management solution.

This!

From a LEGO brochure from 1974: "To Parents. The urge to create is equally strong in all children. Boys and girls. It’s the imagination that counts. Not skill. You build whatever comes into your head, the way you want it. A bed or a truck. A dolls house or a spaceship. A lot of boys like dolls houses. They’re more human than spaceships. A lot of girls prefer spaceships. They’re more exciting than dolls houses. The most important thing is to put the right material in their hands and let them create whatever appeals to them."

Daniel Fry discovered this brochure in boxes of LEGOs at his grandmother's house and posted it to Reddit. He told HuffPost that "I was surprised at what a modern message it was and how simply and eloquently it communicated a very powerful idea. I thought people would be interested to see that such a well-known brand like LEGO was so progressive 40 years ago.... I hope people will be reminded of how important it is not to lock their children in to playing with one type of toy, and to let them play how they want to, to nurture creativity and individuality."

While harder to find in stores today, free-form LEGO sets are still available. A great option that is currently on sale at Amazon is the 35-color, 484-piece Creative Brick Box at https://amzn.to/314zbAY

For younger children, ages 18m to 3, there is also a new 80-piece DUPLO First Building Set at https://amzn.to/3j4RgFz

Yes!

Important things to remember when you are married or in a serious relationship:

Put God at the centre of it all.

Don’t ever assume your partner feels loved. Tell them why they are loved.

Date nights are a must.
Doesn’t matter if you go out, or stay in.

Talking openly about what you want to change in your relationship is important.

Learn each others love language.
We all don’t perceive love the same way.

When you get into a fight, don’t just say “I’m sorry”. Say what you are sorry for, and how you will react differently next time.

It will get boring sometimes.
Every couple goes through the “boring” stage.
It’s normal.
It will fade.
This is the time in your relationship you will have to put the most effort in.

Some days you will have to pull more weight than your partner, and vice versa.

It’s important to check in on each other’s mental health.

It’s okay to go to couples counselling.
It helps.
It doesn’t mean you two are ending, or failing.

Talk about money.
Talk about your financial goals.
Let your partner know what you expect from them, and vice versa.

Turn off the phones an hour before bedtime and just talk to each other.

Ask questions like

“What do you need to see more of from me?”
“How can we understand each other better?”

And most importantly, be kind to each other.

Love each other.

Fight for each other.

Remember, love is never easy, and it’s one hell of a ride.

But damn, is it ever beautiful, and worth it.
