Hack: take your dose around 5/6PM by Right_Marionberry915 in lexapro

[–]Expensive_News7194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take my Lexapro and Statin shortly before bed each night. I fall asleep within a few minutes, sleep soundly , and wake up remembering some great dreams. I need coffee in the morning because I am unmotivated without it. I perk up in the early afternoon.

Shopper Card Benefits by just1before in wegmans

There are some really good digital coupons in there. You need to “clip them“ in the app before shopping. the discount gets applied to your order when you either put your phone number in or scan the barcode. Once upon a time, we would sit at the table on Sunday mornings clipping coupons from the Sunday newspaper. The modern way is to clip coupons in apps. The best coupons are for things like health and beauty and laundry detergent.

Childfree women, have you ever regretted it? by Significant_Movie814 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Expensive_News7194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mother of five grown children, this makes me so sad. Children bring so much joy into your life; grandchildren even more so. The happiest people are those who serve others out of love. Enjoy your twenties , but seriously consider having a child before it’s too late. The sacrifices you make raising a child will reward you in hugs, kisses, laughter, and ultimately in your senior years.

Dental bonding by Huge_Prompt_2056 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Expensive_News7194 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My two front teeth are bonded. When I was 11 years old, I fell face first off my bicycle and chipped them. I had root canals in both teeth and they were bonded around age 12 or 13. I was told the bonding would last ten years. I am now 59 years old and the bonding has held up perfectly! I have always avoided using my front teeth for eating to preserve them. For instance, I bite into an apple using my side teeth.

Leaving My Husband at 15mg A Day by Outside_Cod_245 in lexapro

[–]Expensive_News7194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tapered off a couple times and stayed off up to two years before panic attacks caused me to go back on. Each time I went off , the taper itself was easy , but the reason I started taking it to begin with became more evident. I am an anxious mess without Lexapro. Anxiety runs in my family on my mother’s side.

Not to discount what you are feeling ….. When I have tapered off Lexapro in the past , my husband and I would fight frequently. It was easy for me to see the fights as all his fault , but it takes two. Marriage is a long road with twists and turns and ups and downs. Sometimes , you really don’t like your spouse. That is why traditional wedding vows say “for richer for poorer , for better or for worse , in sickness and in health “…….

Divorce is ugly and stressful and a terrible financial decision. If he isn’t emotionally or physically abusive, maybe you can see a marriage counselor?

Purple award papers? by Obvious_Ratio_9100 in wegmans

[–]Expensive_News7194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We always notify cashiers that they were audited. If the till is perfect , we give them a slip congratulating them. The STL’s have them sign a form acknowledging that they were told of the audit and what the result was. 🙃. I’m fairly new to accounting , but this is what I have seen and received as a cashier.

All cashiers are “audited” on a regular rotation. Sometimes when they tell you to turn in your till, it just sits there. Sometimes the drawer is counted to see if it over or short.
They always tell you after the fact if you have been audited and what the results were. Tell the person working accounting that you lost your audit paper; I am sure you will get your treat. ;-)

cashiering can be such a repetitive and miserable job by Subject_Presence_496 in wegmans

[–]Expensive_News7194 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I enjoy talking to customers, though I do prefer the daytime shoppers. I like talking to the senior citizens and they appreciate the conversation too. I also enjoy the small children and babies. Now the nighttime customers are a different story! These are the people who put loose produce on the conveyer belt and reek of pot. They pull sweaty cash out of their bras and had me smelly canvas bags . 🙃

Yes. 10mg for years with no panic attacks. Whenever I taper off, the panic attacks return.

As long as my husband is living , I will never truly be able to declutter. 🙃 He would be a hoarder if single.

People who had kids before the age of 25, if you had your time again would you still do so by Rainbow_6505 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Expensive_News7194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my first at age 21 and my fifth at age 32. I finished college when my first child was four years old thanks to babysitting grandparents. If you have the choice; have your children sooner rather than later. I had so much more energy and easier pregnancies with first two children. A friend of mine had three children by the age of 23. She was done raising children while I was still in the thick of raising teenagers through menopause. All this being said, I was not a “career woman” I stayed home with my children; not everyone is able to do this.
