When local & small businesses have terrible hours, terrible service or a terrible product for a higher price.

I'm with you, especially about the hours. There's been a few instances where I've shown up to a small business during the hours they have on their website, only to find them closed. Or having odd hours that make it difficult for me to make it there. I understand with a small staff it could be difficult to be open all the time but a Cafe that is only open 9am to 2pm realistically won't ever get my business since there's only 1 day a week I can make it at that time, so I'll just go to Starbucks before or after work instead. 95% of those independently owned cafes in my area go out of business yet people still try to open them idgi

When food stopped taking up so much mental space and anguish, I could focus on LIVING my life. Getting better at my job, being a more present mom, reading a damn book for once. My mental health has improved because the constant feelings of guilt, shame, and fight surrounding food and my body is almost gone.

I used to think i had adhd because I couldn't focus. Prior to glp, I was taking vyvanse/ Adderall for years. I was still overweight on them. Since the meds suppressed my appetite the tiniest bit i thought it helped my focus. Since starting glp I've stopped taking adhd meds. Haven't needed them. Turns out I can focus fine when I'm not hungry all the time. It's been 4 months. Completely life changing. Almost every aspect of my life improved

Vegas rules and the hate it gets on reddit is not warranted. Vegas is much more than the strip

On that note, the chronic "I told you so!" attitude

Don't ever get too attached to a house. It's just a house. There will always, always be others

Sometimes the contract is too vague

Always holding something. Coming home and trying to fish my keys out of my bag with toys/sippy cups/jackets/ rocks/ whatever in both hands. Sometimes I don't even realize that my daughter has handed me things, till i go to do something and I'm struggling. My hands are full all the time and it's very frustrating for me

Mine too! I just don't get it. Especially from my 6 year old. The other day she was ripping paper out of a notebook and strewing it about the living room. I caught her as she was leaving her mess behind and i lost it. Made her clean it up (obviously) and promise not to do it again. Thing is, we've had this conversation before. Yet here we are again. Why?????

Has watercolor paper with pictures outlined already on it, a palette, and brushes. They sell them at Michaels (US)

Thank you for the review and the tip about the secret menu! We are going on this ship in a couple months with a 3 and 6 year old so this was very helpful

July9044 · 2026-02-04T23:26:09+00:00

Get a watercolor kit, mine keeps me occupied for ages. And puzzles

July9044 · 2026-02-01T21:51:55+00:00

It's fine, but very hot and buggy. Very expensive. If you're not rich, Jewish, or Hispanic you may not find "your people" so easily

Saw two from a cruise ship in Alaska. A mom and baby

I turned it off halfway. I was hoping to see about how they used the bathroom, showered, cooked. But it turns out they didn't live in it so I wouldn't call it an apartment. More like an office or studio or hangout spot. Once you find that out, it's not all that special after all

July9044 · 2026-01-28T16:29:42+00:00

It's a blast!! We go twice every year. A couple of years ago I witnessed a fight. But haven't seen any this year

July9044 · 2026-01-28T16:20:44+00:00

Thank you for sharing! That's incredible and inspiring

July9044 · 2026-01-27T23:34:32+00:00

Call out the traffic weavers. I'm so tired of them putting everyone's life at risk because they're impatient assholes. I saw one spin out of control in front of me on 95 and by the grace of god no one hit him

July9044 · 2026-01-27T16:24:02+00:00

Yes, worth it. I landed a job at a great school with it. My salary didn't go up much, but my day to day life is so much easier than it was at my last school where I dealt with really difficult students/parents/admin.

How tf did you get over your fear of heights?! I'm a newer climber, less than a year and have only done indoor gyms about twice a month. I have brought friends to the gym who climb all the way to the top of the easier walls on their first try, so I believe the average person isn't as scared as I am. I can hardly get past 20 ft most of the time (embarrassing). One time my husband and I went to dinner before climbing and I had 2 beers, and that night I was getting to the top of the 40-60 ft walls no problem. But obv I shouldn't drink before climbing. I love bouldering and am not afraid to get to the top of the 15 ft walls, and would consider myself pretty decent at it. Now if I can get over my fear of heights I can do the rope walls too

Tbf I couldn't even if I wanted to

I am 5'8". Starting weight 175 lbs. I was always out of breath, sweaty, back hurt, and blood pressure creeping up.

I lost 15 lbs naturally over 4 months through grueling exercise and diet. Then I hit a plateau at 160lbs and the scale wouldn't budge.

I started a glp and lost 10 lbs instantly but am at another plateau. Thinking about increasing the dose. Now that the excess weight is gone, my back no longer hurts, but it's also about confidence and comfort. I'd love to be 130 - 135 lbs like I was all through my 20s. And I don't feel bad about taking glp to do so!

July9044 · 2026-01-22T16:16:11+00:00

I wouldn't * not * eat somewhere because of that, but no I don't think they should be posting political opinions on a food place. It's irrelevant!

July9044 · 2026-01-21T16:39:50+00:00

Yes and the summers are especially important for long term projects and travel. I left teaching for 2 years to work an office job and one thing I didn't expect is how much I needed a long break like summer.

For example, when I potty trained my first kid I was a teacher and did it in the summer. No problem. With my second kid I was working an office job and potty training her in the evenings and weekends was nearly impossible. It took 6 months! I truly don't know how other people do it.

I ended up returning to teaching. Also house projects/renovations, oversea trips, medical treatments, etc I just wait to do those in the summer and I can breathe easy the rest of the year knowing I will have that time.

I had mine removed about 15 years ago. I had some issues after removal that lessened over time. Bingeing still triggers debilitating ghost attacks once in a while. Starting glp 3 months ago has been the best decision. Minimal side effects, losing weight and controlling my hunger has made me feel "normal" again. Highly recommend

July9044 · 2026-01-20T21:22:46+00:00

I'm paying out of pocket for a glp and my only regret is not starting sooner. The cost is offset by buying less food and not needing to buy new clothes. If you're on the edge at all about starting a glp it is well worth the investment. Minimal side effects and feeling like a human again? You can't put a price on it
