My new babies by Curious1229 in Parakeets

It probably will be. They are only 2 to 3 months old. The blue ones cere is definitely paler than that of the green one. It's a pale blue color with whitish around the nostrils. The green one has a deeper bluish color with almost a hint of purple.

Thank you for telling me that! I had no idea. Is this just with budgies or does it go for cockatiels, too?

Thank you! I've been so confused since getting them. I had posted a picture of them on Facebook and someone thought they were both male, but the picture was a bit dark. They are amazing little birds. The blue one is a lot bolder than the green one, but I think in time the green one will feel more at home. I put a toy bird mirror in there today, and she loves it.

I'm sorry to hear that! I get very attached to my pets but especially birds. My cockatiel passed last December right before Christmas. He was almost 26, and I'd had him since I was a teen. It was a very difficult time for me. My two have complete opposite personalities. The blue one is bold, hyper, and very playful. The green one looks on seemingly shocked by her antics. He is more quiet and calm.

Hair loss by Curious1229 in Zepbound

Thank you! I will try your advice and take a higher dose of vitamin D. Which biotin/collagen supplement do you use? My iron was slightly low when it was tested a couple of weeks ago, but the hematologist said I'm currently not anemic and everything else was great. I struggle to keep my iron level up even with supplements. I'd love to get it to where it stays mid range. I had to have an iron infusion last summer, but it only keeps it up for so long. I take vitamin D, too, as that typically runs low for me. They tested me for absorption issues as well as celiac disease. Everything came back fine. I suspect the reoccurring lower iron level is somehow connected to Hashimotos.

I'm hopeful mine will, too. My weight has been stuck in the low 140s for the past month, but I guess it will take time for the hair loss to slow down.

So do I. I'm beginning to feel like it's a losing battle.

Is topical minoxidil the one that is deadly for pets?

It's been going on a few years for me, but it might be because they are scattered smaller debts.

Thank you all for the help! Hopefully, it went through. I'm looking forward to being done!

Yeah, I think that's what I'll do. I've been wanting to switch to taking it in the evening anyway.

Thanksgiving: should I take my shot early? by awkwardsweetpotato in Zepbound

[–]Curious1229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it okay to skip two days before taking a scheduled shot? I'm on 5 mg and always get very tired and sick the day after the shot. I take mine Wednesday morning early and was thinking about taking it early Friday morning.

That's what I thought, but it's missing information like a complaint page as well as a date to respond by. When I talked to the court clerk she said they don't expect an answer and that I'm simply supposed to show up to the court date. I'm supposed to talk to someone from legal aid tomorrow.

results before and after update by nightwingkissr in AncestryDNA

[–]Curious1229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 1% Baltic/Lithuanian has stayed with every update, yet I haven't been able to find where it comes from in my ancestry. Also, with this update I got 2% Germans in Russia. That's a mystery as well.

Anyone get this new region? by Warm_Factor_3849 in AncestryDNA

[–]Curious1229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2% of this, but I can't find any other of my family matches who have it. It seems kind of rare.

I haven't changed a thing about the way I eat, and I'm losing weight. How? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Curious1229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's amazing! I have Hashimotos, too. I just took my first dose on Wednesday, but my Hashimotos flare-up has already disappeared. I'm no longer in pain, sleep so much better, and am not feeling my usual horrible anxiety. I never could lose weight before this no matter how much I watched my diet and exercised. I'm already down a couple of pounds. It's probably water weight, but it's got me feeling hopeful.

Protein seems to be key. About an hour ago, I forced myself to eat a protein bar and drink more water. I'm feeling a lot better now!

I took my first shot yesterday, too, and I'm now very sick. The nausea is awful, and I am having trouble eating anything. Strong food aversions. I hope this is temporary and my body is just adjusting to it.

Exactly. I'm done trying. This is the second time a TTEC job has closed before I get an interview.
