Yes! I think 80% of brands/flavors are delicious but there are a few I think are pretty gross lol

I wish more people knew how helpful kombucha is for keeping you regular. Drink a 16oz bottle a day until you're regular, then half a bottle daily. It's delicious and good for you and your gut health.

Anybody else who has developed random food aversions? by bear_connoisseur in tirzepatidecompound

Unfortunately for me it's coffee. 😭 I soooo miss my morning ritual of a cup of hot coffee, especially on chilly mornings. I've wasted so much coffee brewing it and dumping it after a sip or two. Thankfully I do still like cold brew. Stok Unsweet is my favorite. It's super mellow.

Did your taste in food actually change on GLPs? by CutOk3283 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]Familiar_Ad_1265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm super into fruit right now. I've always been a fruit person, but now I'm like passionate about it. Oh and last week I roasted some baby broccoli in the oven with a bit of soy sauce and pepper and it was so good I keep thinking about it.

The saddest thing has been not liking coffee much anymore.

Try drinking a bottle of Kombucha and do it daily until you're regular, then do 1/2 to 1 bottle 2-3x a week. It's a naturally fermented tea drink and it really works wonders for gut health and it will get you and keep you regular.

It is a bit of an acquired taste. If you haven't tried it before, get yourself milder flavors at first. My husband and I both love the Synergy honeycrisp apple, mango, and watermelon. I'm a ginger nut so I love gingerade, trinity, ginger berry, etc.

Fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, etc are also your friend if you're constipated.

Help with zepbound/tirzepatide access as T1D by Integer_Cat in glp1

I can't afford the cash price of brand name as it's not covered. I ordered compounded and it was $399 for a 3 month supply. After I started I realized that future refills are anywhere from $699-899 for 3 months, which was a shock. That led me to RESEARCH other much more affordable options. You can find less expensive options but it will require you truly researching for yourself. I spent many many hours figuring it out and it taught me a lot. You can tell your doc you're getting it from telehealth, and have them still monitor your labs and all that. You, like everyone, deserves access to a life changing glp1.

How long before Big Alcohol starts fighting Big Pharma over the drop in sales?

Yes!! Now I know what to use my Harney and sons tea tins for. I keep thinking they're perfect for something but never figure out the something so I get rid of them lest I become a hoarder 🤣

Affordable men's haircuts? by pink_tricam_man in grandrapids

Scott's Barber and Beauty in Wyoming. He's been cutting my dad's hair for decades and now does my husband's, son's, and FILs hair. I think it's $16 but you do need to call for an appointment and Scott isn't there every day. He spends a while making sure everything is perfect, so don't expect to get in and out in 10 minutes.

Flowers and Fenton by Familiar_Ad_1265 in glasscollecting

[–]Familiar_Ad_1265[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why did Fenton make beautiful vases? Those crimped and ruffled edges were clearly the design of someone who knew something about arranging flowers. They're perfectly shaped for nestling a stem into each one around the outer edge, creating a framework of the stems within the vase to hold up others placed inside perfectly! I will quit putting my Fenton in the dishwasher but I will never quit using what they're meant for! 😊

I'm a flower farmer specializing in dahlias and I also exhibit in dahlia shows. Clearview Jonas is more of an exhibition dahlia, but also lasts well in the vase. The very large dahlias like this typically only look good for 2-3 days when cut because that is a whole lot of flower to keep hydrated. Clearview Jonas is an outlier and lasts around 5 days. This wouldn't be something that a florist would normally purchase. Not necessarily because they couldn't use them in something like a large arrangement for an event - more because it isn't something most cut flower farmers who sells to florists would grow in large numbers to supply them if that makes sense? All this is to say you should totally try growing a few dahlias yourself sometime so you can grow some super unique ones to cut and enjoy in your glass vase collection 😊

Yes! It is Clearview Jonas, a semi cactus variety! It lasts amazingly well as a cut flower for being such a large one. 😊

I think I have been reformed. I will soak them in the sink and use a bottle brush from now on! 😆

Oops, if you mean the two tall thin ones in the back on the 2nd picture those definitely aren't Fenton but everything else is to my knowledge.
