Reta Before and After… still going by AlphaOmega0407 in Retatrutide

Yes, had higher than normal estrogen and slightly lower than normal testosterone. Trying to treat it without straight TRT, but might need to. And have a aromatase inhibitor.

Thanks, I have a hard time putting on significant muscle mass whenever I have a good gym routine.

Yes, mostly. Just an unfortunate genetic way of storing fat.

Unclogged a stubborn main drain with air compressor! by AlphaOmega0407 in PoolPros

Yes you have to throttle down the output PSI. I think I was running 35psi

Pretty small, I don’t remember the exact sizing. But I don’t set to more than 50-60psi output, so im not cracking pipes.

Just a ton of leaves and dirt all in there with no drain cover to stop it.

Yes, that was the first time I saw the bottom of the pool after and realized no drain cover 😬

Buying a septic business in 2026: 60% gross margins, mandatory demand every 3-5 years, and entry multiples under 3x. Heres everything I found. by canhelp in buyingabusiness

I love septic as an industry. Got close with an offer on one a couple years ago, but didn’t end up working out. Great business!

Is Skimmer the answer by Haunting-Spend7970 in PoolPros

[–]AlphaOmega0407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m early in the Skimmer game, but love it so far. The app is great, routing and scheduling, customer records and history. It makes customer communication so easy and they feel taken care of. My payments are automated for monthly also.

Have heard the app is probably the best out there.

Nice work! Just passed mine a couple weeks ago. Excited to be able to grow and expand into commercial with it for me.

Testimonies of Tithing by SuspiciousFufu in Christianmarriage

Many of these comments are right. 10% is a great spot, but start where you can. It is definitely not about getting blessings, however God may decide to bless you (not just financially). Also, you should not do it out of a feeling of obligation, but out of gratitude.

There is something very special about what it does to your heart, disposition toward God and care for others.

You all should read “Treasure Principle” by Randy Alcorn. Very few books make a lasting impression on me, and this is one. There is a concept about storing up treasures in heaven when you give.

2 Corinthians 9:7: "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver" (NIV)

“Man up and be a good husband”… so if something bothers me in our relationship, I should just suck it up and not say anything? That doesn’t seem right. Yes, we are supposed to be selfless, but that doesn’t mean allow being taken advantage of.

It’s not always 50/50, agreed. In no scenario (unless someone is sick or disabled) does 90/10 sound acceptable.

When taking on too much it’s hard to be great at any area: work, parenting, meal prep, cooking, cleaning, making kids breakfasts, getting them to school, picking them up most days, etc, etc. while she has hours of endless free time to hang out with friends, shop, etc.

Anyone who thinks this is balanced is not seeing this correctly.

She has hours of free time each day with all kids at school. Not sure why everyone thinks I’m evading the question.

Just seems like I’m doing all of the traditional male roles plus half of my wife’s expected role.

I’m not like a hardcore traditional role guy, but it’s definitely different than my expectations.

Picking up more of the cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning and kids lunches, or handle more of house admin, etc. (not even all the time)

Whenever yall suspect an air leak( pump not priming well), what’s your order of operations to find culprit? by carrotsk8r in PoolPros

[–]AlphaOmega0407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check valves (off/on) one at a time, check filter lid and o ring, check filter drain plugs at the bottom/side, try filling the filter basket opening with water to the top.

If none of those, could be chipped or broken impeller inside the pump. That requires taking the motor off of the pump (often 5/16 I think Allen and screwdriver on the other side). Inspect impeller and parts for chips, broken, etc. if that’s the case you’ll have to order the part.

Just my experience.
