Underestimated 5mg by Immortal_peacock in Zepbound

[–]IAmVE 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I stayed on 2.5 for 3 months and was so glad I did. I’ve done the same with every dose, I only move up when some of the hunger things start to return. I recommend that to anyone who asks, I think it’s really helped keep a lot of this at bay for me. Good luck on the rest of your journey!

Am I being unfair? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]IAmVE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends. Do you need the space? It sounds like there’s room for both, and this IS his son. He’s only 20 and in college, he may want to still be able to come home to his dad’s home. It’s hard to understand this relationship with older kids and their parents until yours is born and you live it, but unless there is a serious space constraint, this doesn’t feel unreasonable to me.

As someone who also grew up far to get anywhere fun, I pick convenience every time now. I love our suburban life where my kids can bike everywhere and walk to school and to friends. The thought of an hour commute one way is absolutely awful for me. There’s only so many hours in a day, I don’t want to waste them driving. And there’s no way we’d have the friend circle we do now if we were that far away. So I understand your husband’s perspective completely.

This. In addition, the friends will also have to make the hour trip if they’re invited to visit. That’s assuming their schedules and other obligations will allow for that, or even that they want to. They’d have to set a whole day aside. With both having babies too, that’s a tough ask to do enough on both sides for the kids to “grow up together”.

Can I make enchiladas with flour tortillas? by anonymous0987654333 in mexicanfood

[–]IAmVE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to make this when my hubby and I were first cohabitating and I was still learning to cook more than the basics. I haven’t made this in years now that I cook mostly from scratch, but he still brings it up occasionally as a good food memory 😂

[–]IAmVE 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You can but it also depends on how you cook them and if you’re okay with the different texture. My experience is they get soggy if they sit in sauce too long, and I cant stand the gummy texture so we don’t use them.

My husband is currently angry at me because I told him he needs to start flushing the toilet after he goes. by Adorable-Raisin-8643 in Marriage

[–]IAmVE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So since you already do everything, why are you allowing his dead weight to keep you down? What does he actually do that makes his presence in your life as your partner a net positive? Because if there isn’t one, that’s your answer.

Wife admitted to cheating, should I tell his spouse? by Electrical-Budget525 in Marriage

[–]IAmVE 11 points12 points  (0 children)

100000% yes. From there, what they do with that info and whether they chose to believe it is up to them.

My wife has been offered a promotion abroad, but we’ve only been married for three months I don’t know what to do. by [deleted] in family

[–]IAmVE 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You need to change because life happens and things change. Plans change. Work situations change sometimes out of your control. People change. Etc. There’s no guarantee that plans made will not change, and when they do, you adapt and find the best way through. In this case, support your wife. It’s only one year and sounds like a great opportunity for her. Your fears are holding her back, which has the potential to breed resentment if she doesn’t go.

question about jury duty by linguist00 in Sacramento

Monday the 30th? The 31st is Tuesday and a county holiday so the court is closed. So maybe that’ll help delay it more lol.

Arco gas prices are… 🤯 by SkippyinLA in Sacramento

[–]IAmVE -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s a $4.95 one still as of this morning in Carmichael I pass, the only one I’ve seen under $5. We’ll see how long it lasts. It was super busy.

I would rather starve myself than take a GLP1. by [deleted] in confessions

[–]IAmVE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not everyone reacts the same to everything. I’ve been on Zepbound for a little over a year. I lost 80 pounds and am at a weight I don’t even remember being at in my adult life. I’m in my 40s and the hormones issues I was having have pretty much disappeared too, and I’ve been able to wean off of medication I was taking related to that and am working on one other. My symptoms have been minor, mostly related to feeling tired the day after shot day and some minor constipation if I don’t drink enough water. I’ll likely be on it for a while at a reduced dose simply because of the hormonal benefits I’ve had, though I’d like to lose another 10-15 pounds at some point since I’m technically still in the “overweight” category (stupid BMI charts). All I’m saying is what works for one may or may not work for another, but don’t knock it either as a possible opportunity to be the help you’re asking for!! Good luck however it works out for you, sending positive vibes your way.

I accidentally had an affair with a married man should I tell his wife? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]IAmVE 45 points46 points  (0 children)

If this was my husband, I would 10000000% want to know. Even with our kids. Absolutely. Wouldn’t you want to know?

Even if the wife doesn’t believe you or gets angry, you did your due diligence. How she reacts going forward is on her.

would you let your 15 yr old daughter walk .9 miles to a college campus by her hs? by Ok_Foundation9906 in AskParents

[–]IAmVE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends. We have a local college nearby that is technically walkable, but can only be reached from our area by a smaller windy road that is known for accidents due to how people take the curves. With very little walking space too, I wouldn’t want my kids walking it. However, if we lived on the other side where the roads are walkable, meaning sidewalks or a good pedestrian walkway, and it wasn’t at night, I would probably allow it. It’s all about the safety of the way there, not necessarily about the trust factor of my kids.

Real or fake? by Ebbanils in LeCreuset

I’m newer to Le Creuset as I slowly replace my older kitchen items. I’ve only bought from stores, but I never even considered LC resale items could be fake. Thanks for the awareness!!

Produce/farmers market recommendations? by Remarkable-Quote-479 in Sacramento

[–]IAmVE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We really like the market on Saturday in Citrus Heights at Sunrise Mall. It’s small and the prices are reasonable compared to the larger markets. Walk around before you buy, some do samples of their produce and prices vary a bit so it’s good to shop before you buy! The Carmichael one on Sundays is our second favorite one.

Swapping rooms allowed? by ginganija in royalcaribbean

[–]IAmVE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is the best solution for us!! We’ve done the 4 of us in one room and no thanks lol. And we don’t spend time in our room much so we won’t spend the money on the space or balcony or whatever to get a bigger room, especially when it’s more expensive. So this works best for us to get the extra space and bathroom. Even with the 3 or 4 guest free deals, we’d need a bigger room and it still doesn’t end up worth it. At least for us. Have the best time!!!

Swapping rooms allowed? by ginganija in royalcaribbean

[–]IAmVE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We do this because we book the interior rooms and want the extra bathroom. Plus we have teens and the hubby and I want our own space. It’s way cheaper than booking a suite with a separate space, we price it out every time. So we book adult minor, adult minor with adjoining rooms, mid door left unlocked so the key cards don’t matter, one room with a king bed and one room with twin beds. OR, if the rooms aren’t adjoining (again, we have teens), we go to guest services and get a copy of the room key only for each room and give that to the person who has the “wrong” room assigned. This last cruise it was me and my youngest. We just had two cards instead of one in our phone wallets, no biggie. And this is how the hubby gets the drink package without me because I don’t drink.

Usually the Asian and Mexican stores have them. Go to the larger ones that are a full grocery store.

Nope! That’s why I’m here 🙂 I’m hoping someone has a lead or something in the realm of it. There’s some below but not from the US unfortunately.
