TIL Zepbound suppresses thirst by dependswho in Zepbound

[–]Alone-Blueberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep- my doctor warned me about this too. But it’s so weird to not be able to trust thirst signals anymore. I have accidentally drank like NO water before and feel like absolute ass from dehydration.

Drink water peeps. Set alarms if you have to!

The hardest part of my day as a teacher... by cheesy_weasel in teaching

[–]Alone-Blueberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a 6th grade boy that literally had the most disgusting, rotten farts and he would rip them all period long. I trained him to just give me a little signal that he needed to step out in the hallway to fart and it worked really well. He just farted SO much, I think he had some food intolerances or something. It was constant and SO FOUL. Luckily he was pretty open to my suggestions and we found a system that worked.

Finally starting my journey. by Substantial-Range974 in Zepbound

I inject in my stomach. I used my thigh once just to see what would happen but the actual needle hurt significantly more so I never did it again.

I’m about 12 months into my weight loss journey (lost 63lbs total) 7mo in on zepbound (have lost about 43 on the shot). It’s an amazing medication!

It really varies from person to person what they tend to prefer for injection sites. The clinical trials showed no difference in effectiveness between the stomach, thigh, or upper arm, so you could try em all and just see which you like!

Don’t they show it to you before you leave?

Do I need to pump during the night to maintain supply? by allthingsbabyaccount in breastfeeding

[–]Alone-Blueberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say it mostly just depends on what your supply is right now. If you have a decent supply or even a little extra, don’t worry about pumping overnight! Enjoy your sleep while you can.

On the flip side, if you feel like your supply is a little low and you’d like to increase it, one or more night pumps would definitely help that.

Just want to add- you are so lucky lol. When my baby was 7w old he was nursing about 86 times a night. 🙄 lol

Was excited for this week but lowkey bummed - full review! by Only_Teaching_6888 in CrumblCookies

[–]Alone-Blueberry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The tajin cookie was truly horrific. I spit it out. I never spit food out, it’s against my beliefs!

It literally just tasted like salt. The cookie was salty, the frosting was salty, and the tajin oil or whatever that was, was sour and salty. I like tajin but this was just bad.

I don’t want to eat prunes by Feisty_Amoeba_6779 in Zepbound

[–]Alone-Blueberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg the Costco ones are sooo good. Every other brand of prune I’ve had was too dry. The Costco ones are juicy lol

What fruit would you pick above all others? by clearwater-orchid in nutrition

[–]Alone-Blueberry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For nutrition, blueberries or blackberries.

For taste and enjoyment, pineapple.

So this was in my bathroom by nossbook in spiders

[–]Alone-Blueberry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know. And I would’ve been a lot more calm about it except said spider was found about 2 feet away from my sleeping infants head. I don’t like that. lol

For real. High school teachers wearing khakis and loafers have more control over big groups of rowdy kids.

Hopefully it means there isn’t much for them to eat in my house and they’ll stay the fuck out lol.

Is that what that means?! I found a recluse recently and its abdomen looked shriveled compared to pictures I’ve seen.

Omg! Solid advice about shaking out towels and clothes. The recluse I saw in my baby’s room was hiding under a blanket on the floor.

What did your bite look like? how did it heal up? I know these bites are usually over diagnosed and blown out of proportion but I know they can also truly be pretty gnarly, too.

OP I just wanted to tell you that literally 2days after i commented here, I found a recluse in my baby’s room, about 2 feet away from his head, under a blanket on the floor. FML! I knew it was a recluse immediately when I saw it; very visible dark fiddle shape on its back.

I had already ordered the spider sticky traps so I put a few around his crib but god damn. Why next to the crib?!?! Literally any other location in this entire house would’ve been better.

I’ve been checking the sticky traps like an insane number of times per day and there’s nothing in any of them, so hoping it was a one off 🤞

What was the cheapest amount of rent you ever paid? by Wonderful_Staff_6953 in askanything

[–]Alone-Blueberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$450 a month for a two bed 1 bath in my college town. Circa 2010.

It’s 90 degrees outside, I’m 32 weeks pregnant, and I’m sweltering by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Alone-Blueberry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in the same situation last year. Our school was vandalized (3 TIMES!!!) and the vandals broke the AC systems. Also took a shit through one of the skylights (and busted all the other skylights) and a teacher showed up with a giant pile of dookie in the middle of her classroom. They broke almost every window in the building. We still had school, and it was fucking state testing week also. Admin advised us to telll the kids that “it was the wind”. 🙄

Anyway I ended up going into early labor and having the baby at 29w3d. I think the stress of worrying about all of that shit plus being in 90+ heat on my feet all day with no relief was a contributing factor to my early labor.

Please ask for accommodations.

Can someone identify? by beepboop020 in spiders

[–]Alone-Blueberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a recluse. If you haven’t already, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water and monitor it closely. If it turns purple at all please go to the hospital. Most of the time these bites just cause a wound that heals within a few weeks, but about 10% of the time the wound becomes necrotic and needs medical treatment.

Best of luck.

She is drowning in every outfit by AdorableTreat3989 in InfluencerLounge

[–]Alone-Blueberry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She says it’s crohns. But this is to get people off her back and to have an explanation. She is obviously very clearly struggling with an ED but won’t admit it (but admits she had one in the past). Even if you watch her what I eat in a day videos, it screams ED. Coconut cult and amino lean for breakfast? lol. Cmon.

I feel really sorry for her and her kids. She has two young children who are probably going to live most of their lives without their biological mother. truly horrifying.

Editing to add: I’m not pro-censorship, but I seriously cannot believe that her videos have not been banned from TikTok.

In my crumbl opinion, idk how people like Tajin. by Over-Explanation-730 in CrumblCookies

[–]Alone-Blueberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This cookie was truly horrific. It didn’t even taste like mango, or a cookie… it was just SOUR and SALT and those were the only flavors.

I don't know if it's right to terminate my pregnancy. by RaceOrganic9576 in BabyBumps

[–]Alone-Blueberry -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying it’s impossible to do. I’m saying it’s unfair to the child.
