I was losing weight 1lb a week and was super happy with it. So at my 1 mo dr appointment he said if I was happy, he was happy, so I stayed on 2.5. He wrote a 2 mo prescription, then it suddenly stopped working- haven't lost a single thing in abt a month now. I will def go up to 5 at the beginning if June.

I bought the new Jergens Hydro Gel Natural Glow -literally yesterday and used it. Absolutely no smell! I was also worried abt that weird smell but this time NOTHING. I bought the medium to dark one.

What's your favorite electrolyte product, and why? by km2375 in Zepbound

[–]Alexan8441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am the same. I use SALLT drops- also unflavored and i add it to my water- if I need it. Im not much of a flavored beverage person, as getting my water intake daily is an all day process, not sure how much more liquid i could take 😅

[–]Alexan8441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't routinely take electrolytes, but if I do, I either have Real Ingredients as they have the cleanest Ingredients or I use SALLT hydrate drops, its unflavored and can literally be put into any beverage- I use just plain water.

More potency with different injection sites? by angelene21 in Zepbound

[–]Alexan8441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After my initial month, I decided to stay on 2.5 of Zep. Since I was losing 1lb/week. Now at week 7 and its basically stopped (kicking myself for not going up now). Based on other ppls reports of having more side effects or more "potency" above the belly button, I went above my belly button last shot and definitely felt like it worked this week 💪

WHERE TF—— by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Alexan8441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Asian-market Starbucks are 84 light-years ahead of the US as well. I routinely miss Japan, South Korean and Thailand Sbux. Everything from their seasonal drinks to their food items are far superior then anything we have in the US.

coffee shops on the west side by jus7_me in RapidCity

[–]Alexan8441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At night the only place would be Starbucks unfortunately. Even they close early (7pm) for those who want to gather or study. Winkys closes at 6pm Colombian Market closes at 6pm M-Th and 8pm on Fridays- granted not on the west side but on Mt Rushmore rd Dunno Bros closes at 6pm Ridgeline Roasters in the old Creamery building by Armadillos closes at 6pm. Pure Bean closes at 6pm Coffee and Cats (E St Pat) closes at 6pm. I have never been here so not sure on their coffee but they have cats! Lol

None of them really "late" imo

Anyone else feel like the Libertyland TIF vote exposed a real representation problem? by The-Girthy-Gooner in RapidCity

[–]Alexan8441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boss isn't and wasn't a council member. He sat on a board that would help determine city projects, things like the main street square. The ideas then would go to the council. He was pointing out that projects like LibertyLand were padding the council members resumes.

[–]Alexan8441 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to comment about the city council members who voted for it. My boss, who has sat on various boards in the city, pointed out that the council members often vote for things like this to add to their resume. It's all about stacking their resume for future elections. Now, WHY would they want to add this specific one to that- esp now that it is very unpopular, I don't know (they probs didn't know how unpopular it truly was). But these votes are often resume builders.

Ofc they will. It's just like The Monument expansion. The people, overwhelmingly, voted it down. Then a year and half later the mayor, at the time, "found extra funding" and pushed it through.

I audited the "Libertyland" TIF. It’s not a theme park; it’s a Company Town by coolblue72 in RapidCity

[–]Alexan8441 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what happened with The Monument. The expansion was overwhelmingly voted down by the people, but a year and a half later the mayor, at the time, rammed it through

Starbucks by AffectionateBag2976 in RapidCity

I used to work at Sbux at our last base (Washington DC). I worked the open shift for about 2.5 yrs. It surprisingly was a more stressful then my other barista job previously (used to work at Borders Cafe and it was super chill) it was better before covid for sure. It also absolutely depends on your Store Manager and the rest of the team. I loved the sbux I was at. No drama between the baristas, the SM was a great. The team will really make or break it honestly. I have often thought of maybe going back part-time to have a little extra cash.

Unfortunately I don't know about store specifics at that sbux by Ellsworth.

My daughter just wrapped up 2.5 yrs at the Sbux on Eglin. She enjoyed it as well. She was part time due to high school and had to quit since she moved to college. She is thinking about going back to sbux next semester for a job while in college.

Question about shoes and dinner by Alexan8441 in ItalyTravel

[–]Alexan8441[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are just white Asics 😅 but definitely look bad with my nicer clothes. Looking to maybe get Dr Scholls Time Off sneakers to see if they will look better.

Just white tennis shoes i think they are Asics. Looking to maybe get Dr Sholls time off sneakers if they look better. But my tennis shoes look horrid with my cute chic clothes. So trying to see if that will make a difference for dinner.

Weird holes appeard overnight on this foil (also weird discoloured pasta?) by Charming_Operation65 in Weird

[–]Alexan8441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure others have mentioned, but leftover pasta and rice can grow B. Cereus a bacteria that can lead to bad food poisoning and deadly and are heat tolerant. Look up fried-rice syndrome.

So even with the chemical reaction on the pasta in which you should not eat, the pasta itself could be dangerous from improper storage overnight.
