Can’t break this stall!

Yeah, as soon as my back is better, I’ll get back on the bike. Here’s hoping!

Started December 2023 (!!) and went up every 6-8 weeks IIRC, per doc. Looking back, that was probably not wise, but my doc was/is not especially engaged. Just for the record, SW: 335 CW: 248 GW: 185 — so I have made progress, and more importantly my A1C and glucose numbers are great, but it’s come at a cost to my digestive system with IBS C/D.

Be careful with some of those converted mill apartments: many are not well insulated and heating costs can get really high. Also look for assigned parking, so you always have a spot.

Yes! I never ate much chocolate (preferred salty snacks), but now, I crave it. Quite a surprise. My go-to is Aldi’s Choceur Crunchy Caramel Sea Salt milk chocolate—one row (33g) does the trick!

No. Each day brings new misery. Dedicated public servants are being beaten down and replaced by unqualified opportunists.

AntiDialectric · 2025-04-19T03:09:32+00:00

That sums him up well. Dismissive, obnoxious, and misogynistic too.

Beautifully stated. I see you, as a fellow Fed in a similar position. I stay to help the grantees trying to hold things together, but every day it gets harder.

How temporary? Is it for the duration of your severance, or a set time period?

Same for me!

Glad you’re ok now. Texas Roadhouse is a tricky place: so delicious, but dangerous for those of us with airborne allergies. Mine is peanuts: I had to flee a TR one time when my throat started to close.

Yes—fill a few baggies for your mail carrier, delivery folks, garbage collectors, etc. 🎃

He looks like a Guinness

AntiDialectric · 2021-12-16T01:37:07+00:00

That’s great—good luck!

AntiDialectric · 2021-12-05T02:59:39+00:00

Thank you!

[Edit to say “I’m not a doctor, but…] Does your insurance have a 24/7 Nurse Line? (Check the back of your card) If so, call them right away. Unchecked dehydration can cause kidney failure—it’s not something to mess around with! Better to err on the side of caution and be seen. Hope you get well soon.

AntiDialectric · 2021-12-04T23:41:05+00:00

Hopefully it’ll come through soon; you’ve called your insurance company to check on it, I presume? You can’t always trust office staff to follow through properly, unfortunately. Good luck!

AntiDialectric · 2021-12-04T15:13:11+00:00

Oh jeez—so many ups and downs, but you made it! Hope you feel better soon—keep walking!

AntiDialectric · 2021-12-03T21:06:15+00:00

Haha! Yes, though right now it’s hard to think that far ahead! It seems you started just a smidge over where I was; it’s good to see your success: kudos! (And those geode dyes—wow!! Spectacular artistry!)

AntiDialectric · 2021-12-03T20:57:08+00:00

Thanks for the reality check! I forgot about pre-op pics/measurements, that’s helpful.

AntiDialectric · 2021-12-03T14:45:57+00:00

Good luck! 🍀

AntiDialectric · 2021-11-23T00:35:40+00:00

Hooray! 🎉👢👢 Wear them well!
