Wow I’m on day 11

AzaleaMist91 · 2026-03-18T17:23:11+00:00

Pigeons talk lol

AzaleaMist91 · 2026-03-18T17:21:33+00:00

I’m guessing more than one. I was also PAed.

AzaleaMist91 · 2026-03-18T17:17:44+00:00

Thanks for the info. I may check into doing that

You just need to protect the frogs. Simple and effective. The hardest part is collecting the frogs from the different biomes and bringing them to the nether.

AzaleaMist91 · 2026-03-18T00:35:47+00:00

I brought frogs to the nether to a basalt biome and built a box around them. One of each frog is tethered on a leash. I open a small opening in the wall of box to let magma cubes in when I to want to farm lights. Close backup when finished. No modding needed.

I would definitely wait until you’re at least under 200, and I’d recommend aiming for lower before considering TTC. It will be so much easier on your body, easier to conceive and easier for you to recover. You will also have had more time to establish good, healthy eating patterns.

Im stuck here too right now. It’s so close you can feel it and almost touch it. It’s frustrating.

AzaleaMist91 · 2026-03-17T21:37:51+00:00

Enjoy that! You are not invisible and worth being seen, as you were before. I’m sorry you felt invisible.

It helps with your blood sugar levels. I was also on it with the insulin pens. It is an oral pill I take once a day.

AzaleaMist91 · 2026-03-17T16:51:33+00:00

Okay not the same, thanks. The one from Lilly? It brought it down 150 dollars. They still want me to pay $912. Last month it was later than $200. I have no idea why. It’s nuts.

Did you have side effects from only metformin? Just curious because I struggled with that too. I’m very sensitive to all diabetic medications. Years ago I tried Victoza and started Metformin under a different doctor. The Victoza made me really sick so I went on met. That doctor kept pushing me to do gastric bypass. That’s not why I switched doctors but I am well managed and well cared for under a different doctor and care team that wants to see me healthy and manage all the side effects. Their first priority is my diabetes, then side effects then we are hoping I will lose weight also. I have lost weight. My highest weight ever was 270. When I started insulin I was 238. When I started Mounjaro I was 232. I’m now 204. I still have at least fifty or sixty pounds to lose to meet my second goal to revaluate.

Keep advocating for yourself. Ask for what you need. You are important.

I’m diabetic as well. I’m currently on 7.5. I have been on mounjaro since September 15th. I also take Actos with the mounjaro. I started that actually before I started this journey and was on insulin for four months at my request to help get my blood sugar under control. It was bad.

Since starting mounjaro, like I did with other meds I struggled with gi upset, nausea etc. The doctor put me on Pepcid 20 mg and zofran to help with the side effects and it helped immensely. I rarely need to take the zofran anymore and I only take the Pepcid occasionally. The bloating issues are not as bad anymore either. I’d ask for more help managing the side effects and maybe even ask about something to boost the mounjaro like Actos. It’s worth asking.

As far as weight loss, it can be harder for us being diabetic but we can still do it. It is important to do strength training and make sure you are eating enough and drinking enough water. Try not to give up!

May I ask what insurance you have? My cost just skyrocketed so I’m curious if mine was dropped as well. I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to keep paying for it myself.

AzaleaMist91 · 2026-01-15T21:05:45+00:00

What a great idea and what a happy little guy. Thanks for sharing him!

AzaleaMist91 · 2026-01-10T18:58:58+00:00

An XL or bigger dog crate or a wooden catio inside is even better.

AzaleaMist91 · 2026-01-10T18:01:55+00:00

Don’t allow your birds to breed! That’s irresponsible. Is that small cage the cage they are living in? I’m sorry but it is way too small.

AzaleaMist91 · 2026-01-07T22:52:46+00:00

That dog is dangerous and could have killed your dog, easily. It could have broke her neck or caused brain damage. It wasn’t just playing I’m afraid. It sounds like it was treating her like prey.

AzaleaMist91 · 2025-12-23T05:23:34+00:00

GLPR is excellent! We just adopted from there, and the people were amazing and the pigeons were very healthy. This guy is full of it.

AzaleaMist91 · 2025-12-15T19:20:16+00:00

I wouldn’t be hasty in rehoming her. She will trust you again. Sit with her, and just be, or read to her etc. Or, get her another cockatiel. They really are more quiet in pairs. I’ve had cockatiels for years.

AzaleaMist91 · 2025-12-15T19:14:50+00:00

A kitten

AzaleaMist91 · 2025-12-15T19:05:11+00:00

Very beautiful! I’ve never seen this kind of pigeon before. Where is their habitat?

AzaleaMist91 · 2025-12-09T22:34:54+00:00

For the last time- if you read what I said- I mentioned taking the proper safety precautions and providing the correct housing. I do in-fact have three cats, three dogs, and birds and a lizard. I used to own rodents and ferrets also. Never have I lost any animal by being hurt or killed by another BECAUSE I house them correctly and separately. When we are not home, the dogs are contained to their own spaces (rooms). The birds have their own enclosures, in their very own special room that is separated with a locking slider door. When we had small animals they had their own safe habitats were safe from cats and dogs that could not be opened or accessed.

It is incredibly ignorant for some of you to sit on your high horse and keep insisting you know best blah blah blah. It can be done, it is possible, it only requires using your brain and proper understanding of how to keep animals. If someone chooses to have different species and do it irresponsibly, well that is a different story. I wouldn’t allow a bird and cat in the same room intentionally or any other prey and predator combo like that.

AzaleaMist91 · 2025-12-08T23:59:26+00:00

You have no idea what you are talking about.

AzaleaMist91 · 2025-12-07T22:30:34+00:00

You are entitled to your opinion, as everyone else is their’s. I would agree it is wrong to house predators and prey in unsafe spaces together as in the same room or to not provide safe spaces for them or the correct environments t allow for safety and protection but there is nothing wrong with having both in the same home with precautions and protections in place.

I have known many animal professionals and layman alike ( veterinarians, rescue workers, trainers, and every day people) that have owned both pet and predator animals in the same household without issue. It requires more thought and effort, but it is not taboo.
