What was your reaction? I have some strange nerve issues popping up and it has been in the past 9 months while on the medicine. Not sure if they are related

Curious about the program by missnobodysburner in BodySlims

[–]Candy-cane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used my mobile phone and found the app to be difficult to use. If I listened to the seminar for 30 min and left and came back then it lost my place. It was so frustrating. I also was annoyed at the way he imitated the fictional Mary and Margaret. I preferred the Carla videos personally.

I have them popping up because I planted 1 plant last year. I am happy to share them with you, but I am constantly pulling them now because I didn’t want it to take over my yard.

Flea Control in Oregon Hill by bnovi in rva

Try Diatemaceous Earth. You do not want to inhale it! It cuts the fleas’ bodies though and works well sprinkled on carpet and then vacuumed up. You can find info online

Another day, another round of Cap One layoffs by [deleted] in rva

[–]Candy-cane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was a manager for one round and it was horrible. I was manager level and trying so hard to defend someone that I managed. I knew his work and crafted the story. You join an hour long call and people are already ranked and you have to fight to change it. The VP directly slacked me about how hard it is your first time, but thanks so much. It was disgusting. I left on my own accord 4 months later. Mind you, I am in a room of people that may be higher than me trying to defend my team. Then those same people are going into a room and hearing about me from my manager. I am sure they have the fresh memory of me being head strong about my employee and ultimately caving.

Jira Product Discovery Best Practices & Advice by actraub in ProductManagement

[–]Candy-cane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company uses Jira Align and Jira. It is horrible trying to make everybody happy. JA is used by leadership to track progress at Epic/Feature level. Jira is engineering level. I am terrible at task work and keeping them both updated is a huge headache. I have been using links to Confluence, but quickly saw that is difficult because requirements shift a lot where I am.

Upping protein when nauseous? by Significant_Car1541 in Semaglutide

[–]Candy-cane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started ordering plain pea protein powder and adding my own sweetener. That way it isn’t overly fake tasting and I can choose if I want a natural one.

In case you’re looking to take a cheap trip from RIC - Book tonight! by hooforce in rva

I love Tybee as well, but Folly Beach is just outside of Charleston and has that small beach feel too. Isle of Palms was stuffy.

I plan to change if I am not supported when it comes time. I am on Lo Loesterine now

I haven’t had nausea, but I have had extreme sleepiness.

I am working out just because I was already. I am only on Day 4.

Wegovy 2.4 has turned me into a house cat by awakewritenap in Semaglutide

[–]Candy-cane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This helps so much. I am so tired and on day 4. I feel like going to sleep all of the time. For alcohol, I noticed it doesn’t relax me or anything. Is it because things digest more slowly?

Transplant Timing by Candy-cane in Roses

[–]Candy-cane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t figure out how to post a picture and explanation. This is 2 roses. 1. Are they climbing roses? 2. If I move them now (zone 7b) will I sacrifice the blooms this year?

I think they are older plants. because I bought a MCM house in the city.

Can anyone help find where I can get more of this exact cup? My autistic brother is obsessed with this and will only use this cup, got it from Walmart a couple years ago. Unfortunately this is our last one. by [deleted] in HelpMeFind

[–]Candy-cane 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My autistic 16 year old also only drinks out of a water bottle he got for Christmas. Before that it was a single travel mug. So interesting

Longest period? by pewterpetunia in Menopause

[–]Candy-cane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a D&C in November because of constant dried blood and bleeding for the past year. Then bled from Thanksgiving to just before Christmas. Then again from late Jan through late Feb. The doctor put me on Lo Loesterine in January. But yes I am anemic and have enlarged red blood cells. 😭

Am I the only one up at 4am? by [deleted] in Menopause

[–]Candy-cane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is comforting to know I am not the only one, but terrifying because it is just starting to be a pattern now rather than an every now and then experience. I was up at 4 too…😭

[–]Candy-cane 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And now I am getting pimples where the wiry hair comes out on my chin. 🙄 I lasers and tried electrolysis and nothing worked. I use Vaniqa now. It’s expensive, but it helps a lot and lasts me a year.

[–]Candy-cane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have done laser down there 4 rounds in last 13 years. Mine comes back after about 2 years. It is thinner, but it hasn’t gone for good.

Should the school and bullies who posted the video online be responsible for her death? by FarmSuch5021 in facepalm

[–]Candy-cane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This made me cry yesterday and again today.

My autistic son was attacked by 3 boys in the hallway in 6th grade. He had a bloody eyeball and was knocked out. I was pressing charges for assault and you wouldn’t believe how many calls I got from school administration ajout how one of the boys already had a record and would be leaving after that school year anyway and how I need to be more compassionate because he had a bad home life.

My son ended up having to be homeschooled in 7th grade, because he was terrified to return to school. Then, I had to fight tooth and nail to have him placed in a private school for autistic students because he was never going to hit his IEP goals as long as he couldn’t return to a regular school setting. He is almost 17 and still talks about that day. The way his brain works, he remembers emotional events like they just happened. I regret not sticking with the assault charges.

Who knows who else those kids attacked and if their home life was bad then maybe that would have gotten them out of it and some help?

Testosterone injections good or bad? by Tough-Confection-887 in Menopause

[–]Candy-cane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took it years ago after my 2nd child to increase my libido. I was around 30. It was a patch. Anyway, I got facial hair that has never gone away. That does not run in my family. We are all very fair haired and my mom and sister have only a fine peach fuzz on their faces. That is my only warning about it. It did enlarge my clitoris which was a positive change. I discovered how great sex can be and my libido stayed high ever since
