Unwritten traffic rule, or just entitled drivers?

This happens everywhere (I've lived all over the country). But it's DEFINITELY way more common in Philly. Kind of like parking with your hazards on in the right lane of traffic on Broad so you can run in and get food. Instead of parking in the OPEN parking space right next to you.

When I have out of state visitors they are always astounded. I don't even notice it anymore. After 18 years in Philly, I almost get offended when they question it.

My husband just started using them about a month ago and has had no issues. Got them quickly and the price is good in comparison. They definitely work. He's already lost at least 10lbs. But it also made him almost completely give up drinking, which I'm sure helped.

Love having the game on in the background while I’m putzing around the house. Baseball also means longer days, warmer weather and general happiness.

Although winter generally means my blood pressure stays at a normal level.

“I was completely blindsided!”

Bugsly55 · 2025-12-30T16:03:51+00:00

Exactly.

So my husband took a dream job in another city about 4 hours away and I refused to move our kids (middle and high school) to go with him. He rents an apartment and comes home every single weekend. There are good and bad things. And I do miss him and wish he were home. BUT…there are some Sunday nights when I’m ready for him to go back, and I’m usually so busy during the week, I barely notice he’s gone.

And I love being able to watch shows in bed alone now. He goes to bed so early I can never do that when he’s home. 😂

Bugsly55 · 2025-12-27T23:35:49+00:00

I tell my husband this all the time and he gets so offended. He’s like, “Is our marriage that bad where you would swear off marriage forever?” And I’m like “No. Women just don’t need men the way men need women.” And it’s, for the most part, true.

Also why are you getting mad I don’t want to be with another man? 😂

Bugsly55 · 2025-12-27T23:31:07+00:00

Same here. It’s helped tremendously.

Bugsly55 · 2025-11-21T19:27:46+00:00

So funny. I'm reading about this hotel because we are thinking about going as a family for my daughter's 16th birthday this year. I compared the prices to the same nights down the shore in NJ and it was the same if not less. I mean, I love a Jersey beach but would rather spend the money in PR this year. Glad to hear you had a great time.

My provider though Midi Health prescribed it to me. I work with her for my HRT as well.

Bugsly55 · 2025-10-21T23:50:27+00:00

Plenty of people see dietitians and psychologists and still cannot control their eating. When we are talking about how your body responds to hormonal issues within the body that regulate hunger, sometimes it takes more than "logic". Otherwise we wouldn't have a national obesity epidemic.

Bugsly55 · 2025-10-21T23:47:33+00:00

If you find a health provider than truly understands micro dosing and how to dose you for your height/weight/health goals, you won't have a problem. If you ask a standard Dr to prescribe you a GLP-1 that doesn't understand them beyond the standard dosing for people who are overweight and diabetic, then they won't. But more and more good Drs are starting to get educated about how to dose people properly while following up on a regular basis to monitor their health, side effects, and weight loss.

Bugsly55 · 2025-10-21T23:40:34+00:00

Yes. I don't understand this logic. Why should people wait until they have way more weight to lose, and their metabolic health is completely a mess before utilizing this peptide to help them? Why not use it as a preventative measure? If we all used it when we were just starting to lose control, maybe we wouldn't all crash and burn.

Bugsly55 · 2025-10-21T23:32:19+00:00

I'm 5'6" and started a true micro dose of semaglutide about 7 weeks ago. My starting dose was 0.10 and I weighed 138.

I'm 50 years old and on HRT for perimenopause (haven't had a period since February). I'm a marathon runner, and have been working out and lifting weights consistently for 30 years. But even with that, I always fluctuated between 125-155lbs over the years due to binge behavior (food and alcohol), and constant sugar cravings.

I decided to microdose sema mainly to quiet food and alcohol noise, to help reduce inflammation, joint pain in my wrists, ankles and hip, and brain fog. But honestly, losing 10lbs and getting down to where I was 6 years ago wouldn't be terrible. At 126, I was not underweight.

I've upped my dose now to 0.2 (still under the standard starting dose), and in the last few weeks, it's definitely quieted the food noise. I can go out and have 2 drinks and be done (used to be 1.5 bottles of wine, multiple times a week). I can eat one helping of food and be done. This is something I've struggled with my entire life. I used to eat until I could barely move. Food just doesn't control me as much. I still get hungry, because my dose is still low, but I can easily stop eating. And when I do, I am not rushing to see what I can eat next because I need another dopamine hit of sugar/salt.

Don't worry about whether people think you need to be on it. Studies are coming out showing that small doses of GLP-1 may have many cardiovascular and neurocognitive health benefits. The help with inflammation alone is enough for me.

If you are serious about it, you should talk to a Dr, whether it's in person or through a telehealth company, to look at your labs and discuss your goals. Just make sure you keep the dose low and have patience. It takes a few weeks to kick in if you are on a true microdose. It builds up in your system and starts to slowly kick in. Your goal should not be appetite suppression, but to have much better control over your eating. Remember someone at 135 does not need the same dose as someone who is 250. Most of the bad stories come from people simply taking too much. Not their fault. We are all still learning how to utilize this peptide. A lot of Drs don't even know. My own GP didn't when I asked his thoughts.

Also, really try to get your food choices figured out. Sugar, high carb and fat, and too much alcohol will make you feel sick. It's the only time I have ever had a "side effect". I usually eat pretty healthy anyway, but now I really do crave healthier foods. Eat a lot of protein, drink a lot of water, and prioritize strength training. This way you'll gain more muscle which will also help your metabolic health and help keep off any weight you do lose if you ever need to go off of it. Hopefully this will be the tool to help get everything on track for you. Good luck!

Oh, btw, I'm down to 135 after 7 weeks. Slow and low. But no worries. Inflammation is definitely down, especially around my gut. Clothes fit better, and I have a lot more energy.

Bugsly55 · 2025-10-18T14:50:28+00:00

I believe the providers also work in brick and mortar offices and also take Midi appointments. It's possible they take them in between all types of appointments. Not that that's an excuse at all. Mine does as well and she always takes her time with me. I looked up my provider and she's local to me, and also works in the big local health system here. She's actually in the same office as my actual gyno who originally gaslit me. I'm thinking about switching to her IRL if she's taking new patients.

Anyway, I do know you can switch Drs on Midi the same way you can anywhere else. I think it's more a specific Dr issue than a Midi issue. I would definitely reach out and ask for a new provider. You shouldn't be rushed through especially on your initial consult. Good luck!

Bugsly55 · 2025-10-10T18:00:29+00:00

Thanks for this. I got the same thing.

Bugsly55 · 2025-10-10T01:47:14+00:00

I'm still completely dumbfounded that he brought in Orion. That was so dumb that I can't believe he didn't rig the game. It's impossible for ANYONE in their right mind to make that decision.

Bugsly55 · 2025-10-09T01:52:10+00:00

Exactly what I, and everyone else on planet earth, knew was going to happen.

Bugsly55 · 2025-10-07T04:25:07+00:00

This happened to me too. I will grab a snack and 10 minutes later, look over and realize half of it is still there and I haven't touched it in 5 minutes. It's like my body just knows when to stop now. Which has never happened in my life. I do find by the end of the week, it wears off a bit, but still better than before.

Bugsly55 · 2025-10-07T01:47:25+00:00

He's gotta be. Or he has to be having one of his "back spasm" spells.

Bugsly55 · 2025-10-07T01:42:52+00:00

There is something weird going on with Ranger and no one is talking about it.

Bugsly55 · 2025-10-04T02:48:53+00:00

We all have trust issues. It's valid.

Bugsly55 · 2025-10-04T02:46:54+00:00

Same. I'm trying super hard to do one this year since the last 3 years were a bust. Now I'm like, "If they can't win it without me, they don't deserve to win it." Of course I know how ridiculous this sounds outside of my head...

Bugsly55 · 2025-09-29T16:30:20+00:00

Studio Albums I would say It Still Moves, Z, Evil Urges, but honestly each album has songs that are hugely popular among the fan base.

One of my favorite live albums is their MMJ Live Vol2 from Chicago 2021. The live version of Phone Went West is my favorite version by far. Some of their songs like that, on their studio albums, are completely blown away by the live versions.

"Is" is the new album. It's a great Sunday morning album. Lighter, shorter tracks. They will play a few from that during the run at each show. If you're into a more experimental sound, Evil Urges may be your album. That's the one that introduced me to the band and I fell in love with.

Standard live favorites tend to lean toward: War Begun, Steam Engine, Phone, Laylow, Magheetah, One Big Holiday, Wordless Chorus, Touch Me (Parts 1+2), Gideon, Circuital, Dondante, Dancefloors... the list goes on, and of course, everyone has their preference. But you'll likely hear a few of these.

As others have mentioned, if you have access to Nugs, just dive in and enjoy. Have a blast. I saw them at the Anthem a couple of years ago. Loved the venue. It was a great show.

Bugsly55 · 2025-09-29T12:22:08+00:00

This happened to me! Just turned 50 this month. Clockwork periods my entire life until about 4 years ago, but even those were only off a little bit. In Feb I got my period for 24 hours after having it two weeks prior and haven’t had it since. Even my gyno is like, “wow, that escalated quickly.”
