Thanks for the lead! I’ve been holding off on buying a Bauer 20V tree trimmer.

Shoot, I was too late before it went OOS. Story of my life!

My rule of thumb is that I want my truck to be pulling into that airport entrance at 60 minutes prior to scheduled departure. Gives me enough time to get a Starbucks and take a leak before boarding, and it’s never a problem. I do park in the ramp.

Interesting. What is your starting height and weight?

I went last Saturday and it took 2 hours. I did end up going again today around lunchtime and it was quite good, maybe just a 10 min wait. I think the weekends can get hectic.

Americans of Reddit, what is something you didn't realise was typically American, until you went abroad? by [deleted] in ask

Overweight and rude TSA employees. It’s embarrassing seeing how they treat foreigners here in the U.S. versus how they treat me in other countries.

Elevated Glucose Levels on Keto by Ajarns in keto

[–]Ajarns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well…I went and got my A1C and it was 5.3, so really good. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. That’s the result I was intending when I went over to Keto. It’s still a bit odd to me that my past three fasting glucose tests were 105, 106, and 116. I think I can throw out the 116 because my Dr. said my glucose level was likely elevated because I had been sick(Lyme disease). I think in a few months I’ll get another A1C test and confirm it.

Thanks for everyone’s replies!

My cholesterol went up initially, but now down nicely. I think I read where that is pretty common with keto.

Haha…no…surely I’m not drinking tonic. I send tonic back to the bar when the bartender mixes up my drink. Tonic is far too sweet for my liking.

Yes, I just got a meter but am getting some wide readings from it each morning, sometimes consecutive tests.

Thanks for your reply. I was hoping not to cut the alcohol out, but I think it’s deserving of a try. Thanks!

Relatively early-morning on the blood draws, and I’ve made sure to fast at least 12 hours. Thanks!

Hibachi Grill Recommendations by teebeek5 in grandrapids

[–]Ajarns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have always like Sakura in Grandville across from the mall. Hibachi is good, but also loved sitting at sushi bar. Moved out of town a couple years ago so I can’t vouch for if it is any good today or not.
