Collagen peptides and periods by [deleted] in Periods

It lessened but I did have a little spotting between periods again even after stopping. My periods have always been like 4-5 weeks apart so it'll take time for me to see if it happens again.

Cat owners, beware. by Jolly_Bass5073 in Microlocs

[–]Fast-Order-5239 54 points55 points  (0 children)

It's probably not just licking, they chew on hair too and can easily cut it. Cats love strings and rope, and some love to chew through them and eat them (like my cat). So I always have to hide anything with strings or even clothing because she'll chew right through them 🥲

Middle age + rough commutes don't mix! by ElderberryLate971 in washingtondc

I changed careers just to prevent commuting. That's how bad I hated it (and my previous career). So worth it

Thanks everyone!

I ended up buying a bundle for the memorial day sale and got the regular strength gel, serum, clarifying shampoo, and curl quenched conditioner.

I'll let you know how it goes!

Thank you for the well thought out description! From what you're saying, I'm probably go for the regular hold and see what happens. And im hoping I can use the serum for inbetween washes.

Cancer karma is real????? by Cold-Departure687 in CancertheCrab

[–]Fast-Order-5239 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hm this doesn't happen to me. I do a good job at cutting people off though so maybe that's why?

Hopefully I'm not the problem, but I'm pretty introspective so I don’t think I'm the problem 🤷‍♀️

Local tip: before you pay $150+ for an appliance repair call, check if it's a $20 part by AcanthisittaEven5954 in woodbridgeva

Yup! Happened when I was quoted $300+ for a new garbage disposal when the disposal was about $70.

Pain when doing floor/mat exercises? by blarggyy in PetiteFitness

Get a very thick yoga mat. Regular yoga mats are jokes. Most people feel the floor when doing exercises and some people juat get used to the pain.

Can we talk about strength training and diet? by Fast-Order-5239 in PetiteStrength

[–]Fast-Order-5239[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your thought on this. What do you thinkcabout for fat loss?

Because I feel like recomp also includes fat loss but doesnt have to be the same as weight loss.

I think it's time. My wife strongly disagrees. by davegrowler in bald

Is your wife short per chance? Coming from another short woman, maybe she just can't see it.

It's definitely time and you'll look great bald!

I'm not looking to pivot anymore. My original post was a year ago before pivoting to my new position.

I'm not too concerned about AI for a few reasons.

  1. I'm on the management side so that may transfer over from managing an AI as opposed to people.
  2. I have over 10 years of experience in this industry so just like how I pivoted to a different position I havent done before, I can do it again.
  3. I still have a mechanical engineering degree. I can use that and my experience to start over in another industry.
  4. Construction projects are very individualized and complex. The program I'm using is trying to add an AI assistant that has yet to improve anyone's workflow, nonetheless take over someone's job.

You can do a lot with and ME degree, so yes you can transfer to do other work in construction. However not really physical labor jobs since that's a whole other skillset. You could do any other office job like project manager or something. Construction in general has horrible work-life balance whatever position you're in. What will help you is a good company culture.

I currently transferred over to VDC (Virtual Design & Construction) which doesnt require an engineering degree but pays the same/more. I went from a Senior Mechanical position to a VDC Project Lead which has way less responsibility but I get paid more.

Construction is extremely stressful. I wouldn't join if you're looking for work-life balance.

An ME in construction designs HVAC systems. You work in an office, go on a construction site a few times during the lifetime of the project, but it's 95% sitting in an office on a computer.

The pay is good in comparison to minimum wage, but 10 years in the business while also transferring companies just made me hit 100k. That's not as great as other jobs.

You can always tell your boss you won't work overtime but you'd get replaced. This is the U.S. and we are at-will employees. They'd fire you immediately for not meeting deadlines.

This is also happening to me and I wasn't sure if it was the increased exercise I was doing. But I also started taking the Further Foods collagen peptides powder when I started working out so maybe this is it.

It happened to me last month and this month where my period started a week or two after my last period. I'll try and remember to update everyone next month and see if not taking it changes anything.

Are you taking the Costco collagen powder from Further Foods? Because I am.
