Got an 1880 census entry that for an illness had the entry "dripcee".

My gut feeling is that it is a misspelling of "dropsy" which is kind of what we call endema these days. Given the very rural nature of the area, I assume this is a home diagnosis vice a diagnosis by a "doctor" so maybe either the census taker just didn't know how to spell it or the family said this was the "disease".

But before I just write this off to misspelling, has anyone actually heard of a medical term used in the late 1800s call DRIPCEE?

It is said to be harbored in hard rocks such as granite. Is there any danger in granite counter tops inside a home? I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but it seemed worth asking.

Earlier today my sister in law was rinsing dishes and then set them into the dishwasher to be washed. She shut the door but had not started it yet. Then all of the sudden there was a loud crashing sound from inside. One of the glass cups had just shattered into pieces for no reason. We were laughing about it but she thinks it is a ghost and I can't think of any reason for this to have happened.

It's been more than 6 months since I found out my marriage was not all I thought it was. We are trying to "work" things out. Is there a point when you don't think about what happened? I'm not obsessed, but, it's a rare day I don't think about it and that's only when he is not around.

I'm in love with my best friend, but shes straight. I'm mostly straight and shes the only one who even knows i've been questioning. when we went on vacation this summer we cuddled every night. we would whisper i love you and kiss (like on the cheek, never lips) i've never told her how i feel because I'm afraid she'll act differently around me. I couldn't' handle not being around her, shes my best friend and i wouldn't' be able to survive without her. i know she has been questioning before, but decided she was straight. right now as far a love goes shes sick of liking people who don't like her back. idk if i should go for her or not. please HELP!

My sister has a very large fibroid that the doctors say they'll try to treat with meds because she's having a lot of bleeding. However, if that does not work, they said she may need a complete hysterectomy ( removal of uterus and cervix)

Has any ladies out there have advice for her if she does get a hysterectomy? She is afraid and wants to know about the following:

--will it affect sex life ( libiddo)?

--will sex feel the same ( both to her or husband)?

--what physical appearances or health issues change after a hysterectomy?


Thank you so much for your help!
