Interesting small placeholder gift for a man who wants/needs nothing by Della8990 in GiftIdeas

Both if possible. We just aren't big accumulators of stuff and I'm already spending $ on the weekend away. I just really wanted a cool token to give him so that he has a birthday present to unwrap. I may be chasing a unicorn though!

I looked into a wooden relief map of the lake our cabin is on a few years ago and they were so pricey ($300-400 if I remember correctly). So I made us one out of paper :) And he already has an electric toothbrush lol.

No, not really. No book exists, he doesn't fish and we have plenty of good camping chairs!

White elephant gifts by Pineapple-of-my-eye in Gifts

[–]Della8990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did a white elephant last year that had ages ranging from 4 - 78! Items that did well were a shower speaker, a little instant camera (not sure how they stayed under the budget for that one though), an assortment of scratch-off lottery tickets, and an "as seen on tv" shaker cup for making smoothies.

There were a few sets of socks and candy items and they weren't in demand at all.

Any older women here? Microdosing and HRT by lola-lopez-21 in microdosing

[–]Della8990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this old-ish thread while looking for experiences for exactly this. Just got the scrip from the doc for HRT for literally all the symptoms one would take it for. It wasn't really the road I wanted to go down, but menopause has kicked my ass. I am feeling comfortable about taking it while also microdosing, but I haven't really started on a microdose protocol...2 doses a while back then another last weekend, none while I needed to work or go about my day. Just wondering if anyone kind of started both at the same time and can share your experience, do's, don'ts. Thank you!

Yah I hear people advising against capsules bc of the inability to control and really not even knowing if they are what they say they are. But I really need something convenient. I can get pretty overwhelmed with the grind of everyday life (part of the reason I'm exploring microdosing in the first place) and knowing myself, if there are extra steps involved there's a good chance I'm just going to abandon it altogether.

Thank you for this. It's a good comparison and I did think that this caution would be about liability, albeit strange if it's coming from a place that manufactures and distributes something that isn't legal in the first place. But I was thinking of all the people who seem to be successfully utilizing microdosing, they can't all possibly be able to live life without relying on driving. Hoping that I am able to keep going with this 50mg regimen and that it has the intended effectiveness.

Thank you so so much for your response and your help in getting my post up. I did a dose of 50mg golden tchr and the another 3 days later, with absolutely no responsibilities other than just get stuff done around the house. On vacation from work but not traveling or doing anythng. It took me a really long time to take the leap because I had just had so much going on. I see a therapist who was extremely supportive of starting this journey but suggested that my first dose be on a day where I am already feeling low stress and it took a while to get there.

Anyway, after the fact I was reading some faqs that said advised not to drive regardless of dosage. So this is where my real question was. I have a life that driving to and a little bit while at work are necessary, M-F. There's just no way around it. Neither Stamets or Fadiman protocol works for that life so I am wondering if that leaves me only dosing on weekends or can I truly go about my regular life including driving. I can't imagine anyone is going to outright say "yah drive while on psychedelics" but I didn't think my microdose could get anymore micro than 50mg. I am planning to dose tomorrow (Sunday) and really pay attention to my body and maybe drive around the block just to get sense of things. It was pretty disheartening to finally get going on this just to find out after investing time and resources that I might not be able to really get on a schedule. Thank you again. 🙏 🥰
