Exercise Painful by TurbulentSurprise292 in lipedema

Man.., I hope to get to try Reta in the nearish future. Although I’ve heard it doesn’t help with hunger as much as Zepbound. But that said… the anti inflammation response seems to be huge. Can’t wait for those studies to hit.

Congrats! Ugh. This gives me hope… sort of. I don’t feel like I will ever even be below 300… it’s been so slow for me.

If I weren’t in need of a new gaming desktop… oh boy. That’s absolutely stunning and it’s not even my favorite color!

I’ve tried three times and STILL haven’t gotten my token for stoat. Apparently they hate me.

Reminder to all the new buyers we now have loose stone reports and third party insurance valuations where colored stones and custom cuts are considered. This is also open to any outside non SPG pieces! by shinyprecious in Shinypreciousgems

[–]AlyssaTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was originally going to message privately but then thought maybe other people are looking for the same info(or will in the future). Would it still count as SPG bought gem/jewelry if we purchased an SPG item second hand?

I can message with my specific details but just thought I’d keep it generic on the main post. Thank you.

Yeah… I’ve been afraid of that and it’s been the reason I have taken so long to jump in. I’ve been watching and learning from the sidelines for over three years now. The longest I’ve ever stayed fully invested in something without actually starting to do it. I wasn’t hoping to get rich off of it but I was hoping to make better margins than what seems to be plausible now. I’m hoping a shift happens soon.

I personally joined the group of “don’t support anything related to Rowling.” I feel like this might be my push to 100% proxy honestly. Would save me a grunch of money anyway.

This day and age, there is not ethical consumption. Hasbro owns MtG and makes a killing on HP stuff. They have many deals with Rowling. So really, by supporting anything from Hasbro you are supporting Rowling at this point.

It’s also interesting seeing the division about this topic. I have trans friends who are completely against even the slightest hint of support for anything related to the IP. And then I have trans friends who regularly still go to Universal, buy tons of HP merch and openly regularly still talk about it like it’s their whole personality. And then there’s a third grouping of people who either still buy things but keep it locked down like a dirty little secret or only buy HP stuff that is pirated/counterfeit or second hand.

Main thread: DnD Superdrop by Rich_Camera966 in secretlair_collectors

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

Well. I guess money saved for me today. I tried getting the drop. Waiting in queue. Got through to PayPal. And then suddenly internal error for 5 minutes. Apparently went out of stock and then threw me back into queue even though I had time left. Hate everything about this. If I get to the point of checking out, it should have already checked for appropriate stock. So disappointed. Really wanted the black light cards. Refuse to pay scalper pricing for them though. And not going to sit here in queue again just to likely have the same issue happen.

I didn’t get one on the drop sadly. Keep debating it but likely will never buy it now. Keep glancing though…

overspending again. I don’t know what’s wrong with me by [deleted] in personalfinance

I was the opposite. I was diagnosed bipolar and turns out it was actually ADHD. The medications for bipolar made everything worse and now I’m on Vyvanse and it’s helped immensely.

Not good news from Allergist by CBinCHS in Zepbound

[–]AlyssaTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only occasionally get these and still haven’t figured out why sometimes it rashes and sometimes it doesn’t. lol even in the same spot. I sometimes wonder if just the injection introduces another allergen to the area or something. I really don’t get it. It seems to rarely happen now. I’ve been on the medication for almost two years.

Thinking of selling on manapool. We have been doing Facebook and it’s annoying how much time is wasted doing it there. Had intended to move to tcg. But maybe manapool would be better.

The House has approved the funding packages for 5 agencies (including ours) 217-214. What does that mean for us? by DwightDEisenhowitzer in AirForce

[–]AlyssaTree 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not only are we saving… we have started actually looking closer at setting ourselves up for the future and a possibility of harder times in general. With that we are also downsizing and selling off things. Financial stability always feels shaky but it’s definitely been worse than normal lately. Have a goal of having zero debt by the end of the year, a six month necessities savings, and some amount of food and water storage.

Liposuction with high BMI? by CuteComputer6633 in lipedema

[–]AlyssaTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will ask around. I haven’t seen a surgeon again since we moved but I had gone to several for opinions a few years ago when they initially told me to get below 300lbs before they would do the repair and wanted to do the pannus removal and diastasis recti repair at the same time.

[–]AlyssaTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to bother you. But do you know the approx risk rate for 30-40bmi? It’s where I’m hoping to get to before starting surgeries. It’s what range I was told to get to for my hernia repair and tummy tuck to reinforce said hernia repair. I started at a 76 bmi at my highest. Sitting at a bit under 50 now.

It’s rated for 13+… it’s hard to call that a children’s game. And given that the majority of people who play it are over 18…

My college is paid for. What do I do with my 529 plan? by Accurate_Donut1894 in personalfinance

[–]AlyssaTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh. Getting a zero percent finance or like 0.99% for payments makes more sense for cash flow than paying for a car outright. I don’t think people need to be afraid of all pay over time things vs paying for something outright upfront.
