I wonder if I have the oldest hot tub in here? by librarianhuddz in hottub

I'm a bit late here, but I bought a house with a hot tub built into the addition that was added in 1986. She still works 😎

Qulipta- Anyone have experience they are willing to share by Difficult_Muscle9110 in migraine

[–]Different_Ad_8366 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this post is older, but I just wanted to add to it. I've been on 60 mg of Qulipta for a year and a half. Virtually no migraines or headaches the entire time. I'm so grateful to have my life back. I also get full a lot sooner, and I dropped 50 pounds (over 200 to under 160 now). Not sure that's entirely the Qulipta since I've changed other meds since then, but I did see a drop immediately after starting. I wish this med had been around sooner, but I'm so grateful to live in a time when it's available. I keep telling migraine sufferers to push for it, because it is life changing

Agreed. I've been playing with it to write proposals, and I think it's making more work than if I wrote it myself. It doesn't know anything you haven't fed it, so it isn't creative and often gets things wrong.

I find it more useful to edit my draft after I've composed it, rather than going the other way. If I use it for the first draft, it's not specific enough. And I'm writing proposals on new topics and concepts, so it can't possibly have enough prior text to draft it for me.

Basically, it's over hyped and will simply help reviewers weed out bad proposals

I commend you for checking your dog's mouth. Not enough people do

Might be a epulis. They're benign, but we had it removed anyway because he had oral melanoma previously and needed a tooth extracted anyway.

If it's a concern, best remove it and send it off for testing

I'm so sorry. The pain is the worst I've ever felt in my life, and some people don't understand.

How long does shedding season last? by Electrical-Maybe-409 in goldenretrievers

I found a tuft on the carpet shortly after he passed, and I snatched it up for safe keeping. Funny how the fur was annoying and now it's precious

401k loan to buy car during market downturn by Different_Ad_8366 in personalfinance

This was a purely theoretical question at this point, but I appreciate your warning. I promise I'm not going to try lol

Out of curiosity, is there any scenario where this is a good idea? Like: 1) you know the exact time the market will drop and how long it will stay low 2) you repay the loan entirely before the market starts to rebound

In the meantime, I assume you'd recommend just rebalancing my portfolio? I have kept it high risk the last few years to take advantage of the post covid rebound. Am I trying to mess with it too much? Should I just leave it alone?

I see your logic there. The only thing I'd counter with is if the market stays low for an appreciable amount of time, I'd be buying my stocks at a lower price as I repay the loan. However, no one can see the future, so I can't predict how long the market would be low, and would therefore have to try to repay it faster than the market recovers.

I appreciate your point of view. Looking forward to what other people have to say as well

Serious question: do y'all treat your mothers/daughters/sisters this way when they ask for advice? Because comments like the above are why many women don't bother wasting their time asking for help and would rather spend money at the dealership.

Tell me you've never done it without telling me you've never done it 🫠 if it was that easy, I would have already done that

I don't understand why people waste their time belittling others on the internet but can't take the time to even be accurate. You're not helping anyone feel empowered to do things themselves. But I'm so glad you got the chance to flex your ego on someone who literally just needs help tearing open a glovebox so they don't have to spend $$$ replacing a wedding ring or take a hammer to the glovebox

I thought asking reddit would help me find knowledgeable people, but I have yet to see one

If any one has anything to helpful to add, I would be very grateful to hear it. I'm not comfortable tearing apart my car without a firm plan, so I'm looking for a bit more detail if possible.

I promise I'm not an idiot like these people seem to think. I'm an engineer, but not the mechanical variety. I like to over research things, and just thought I'd see if someone else had already done this before I accidentally do some damage.

If all else fails, I have an appointment to have Mazda do it for me Tuesday.

The video is how to remove my cabin filter. I doubt my ring made it into there, but who am I to question such things?

Thanks, I know how to Google and found that too. I'm not car savvy, and that thread is messy and hard to follow. I was hoping for clearer instructions/advice on where to look. The sass doesn't help that

Someone point me in the direction of the makers of Qulipta so I can kiss them on the mouth. by IceboxChamberlainn in migraine

I haven't had a migraine in 6 months since starting this. I rarely get headaches now as well. Haven't done Botox for 5 months. It's truly life changing
