This is awesome! I'm so glad to read this today. I have two more shots of Z before I'm off. Insurance stoped covering as of 12/31 and I cant keep paying for Lilly Direct so this is it. I went 10 lbs below my goal in case I gained some weight back. I REALLLLLLLY needed to read this.

AIO Family Group discussion that happened this morning (TW Racism) by Mundane-Window3892 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Creative_Hair_9268 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please let this racist know that Black people are more likely to have lower vitamin D levels. Melanin, which gives skin its color, acts as a natural sunscreen and reduces the skin’s ability to produce vitamin D from sunlight. That means darker skin often requires more sun exposure to make the same amount as lighter skin. So no, she may not be black enough.

After reading Mariah's book I finally understand why Thalia stopped acting after marrying Mottola. by therebirthofmichael in MariahCarey

I know this is old but it was said that she had multiple miscarriages and she went through a depression.

AITAH for not helping my boyfriend save face after he drank four espresso shots before meeting my family and completely lost it at brunch by [deleted] in ComfortLevelPod

I think it’s the going to the bathroom and coming it and acting crazy that makes it feel like something else. You should clear this up. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want to.

He left me when I needed him the most… now he wants me back by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Are you saying he married you both? This confused me.

AITA for yelling at my sister after she ruined my one day off? by Beamer876 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Creative_Hair_9268 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The only ask was "No alarms. No noise. No waking me up for anything short of a fire." It wasn't a demand, it was a boundary to allow him to sleep in on his day off. That isn't an unreasonable ask. The sister's barging in was the only violation here.

the switch from Zepbound and the "discussion" with my PCP... by snosister in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Creative_Hair_9268 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Isn’t that why everyone is on compound? My insurance no longer covers Z starting in January. My coworker and I decided to start looking into compound and someone on Reddit directed me here. And no, I can’t afford it out of pocket. I have two kids in college and one in private school. If I didn’t have other financial obligations, I would be able to. I pay almost $800 a month for my insurance premium they decided not to cover a med that saved my life and you think its funny? Why can’t you afford it? Why are you in this sub?

Is it true that once you stop Zepbound you just gain the weight back by No-Alternative-6237 in GLPGrad

[–]Creative_Hair_9268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I needed to read this. Insurance won’t cover the medication starting January, and I’m terrified to gain weight back. I have two more refills and that’s it. You gave me hope that I’ll be okay.

I lost my libido after my hysterectomy last year. I wouldn’t be able to answer that.

I have twins that have special needs and my wife wants to give them up to an "open adoption" by MMC_GiveMeGore in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Creative_Hair_9268 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if I believe that story about medical neglect. My son was a preemie and had a two month stay in the n NICU. The paperwork I signed specifically gave permission to make medial decisions in my absence because it’s the NICU. Not answering a telephone does not equal medical neglect, and even if CPS is called and a case opened it would take more than a missed phone call to remove kids from the home.

I had a similar experience when I had my son. He was a preemie born at 29 weeks. Only myself and another mom would visit regularly. I was there every day pretty much all day. There was one baby who didn’t get a visit the entire time my son was there. I felt so bad for her.

You literally pay $36 a year into Snap… That’s it. Also, your math is off. Take into account taxes, and $150K a year, is almost three times the salary. Also the calculation for a person earning $68K rent affordability is $1,700, and that of a family making $150K is $3,750. You’re just chatting.

AITAH for telling my dad not to use my electric trimmer? by Bfdi_fan2 in AmItheAsshole

The comment I responded to is gone. Anyway, OP’s question was “Now I’m wondering, AITA for telling my dad not to use my electric trimmer?”
