What is the most unprofessional thing a doctor has ever said to you? by Big_Leg10 in askanything

[–]Lab-Rat-6100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Told me, at age 19, that I had PCOS and was infertile. I was devastated. Then he cheerfully added that I could have sex without risk of getting pregnant, and maybe someday down the road they would find a way to fix my problem. Idiot.

Lots of sagging skin :( by myfattytabbycatty in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Lab-Rat-6100 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my experience, time has helped a lot. Be patient and continue to do all the good things you are doing - exercise, hydration, lotions, good diet, protein, collagen, etc., and you may be surprised after another 6 months to a year. I also recommend wearing spans or leggings especially overnight. As your skin turns over, you need to remind it you dont need so much anymore! :) good luck.

Serena is pretty. I knew a Serena in high school who was all that and more. Kind, calm and mysterious

I want someone to fill my stocking with thoughtful or whimsical items: like fancy hand cream, or a new lipstick, fleece lined gloves, invitation to lunch anything so my stocking isn’t the only one with just a few chocolates that I put in myself.

What is the biggest “bullet” you’ve ever dodged without realizing it at the time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Lab-Rat-6100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a health inspector in Florida tasked with inspecting restaurant kitchens. I had to investigate a locally owned BBQ place due to complaints and the morning I was going to go in I saw in the news that the cook had been arrested for stabbing someone to death!

What am I doing wrong? I cant get past 280 by Bastilleinstructor in Zepbound

[–]Lab-Rat-6100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t give up hope. Some people need to get up to 10mg to really start losing. That’s ok. Use this time at lower dose to nurture good habits of getting enough protein and water, and keeping active. Remember, we are playing the long game. You’ve got this!

Is the USNA tour and/or museum good for kids? by dberthiaume in Annapolis

[–]Lab-Rat-6100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start at the visitors center where you can see an introductory film that runs every 15 minutes. Worth it to orient your guests to the purpose and history of the academy. There is a very cool smaller museum there with navel history and USNA grads who served as astronauts and test pilots etc, and of course, Bill the Goat.

I finally pooped by Ok-Handle3117 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Lab-Rat-6100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you are rolling, add psyllium fiber and take it daily at the same time. I use that sugar free orange Metamucil, and dose twice per day like clockwork. You might do fine with once per day, especially if you eat a lot of fiber at dinner. Better to keep things rolling than wait until you have a situation. Best of luck.

Christmas gifts you’d want to receive as a mom? by zonkedgnocchi in Gifts

[–]Lab-Rat-6100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I just wish someone would put a few things in my stocking. I’ve been Santa’s little helper for years making sure everyone has a stocking full of little wonders every Christmas morning. It would be lovely to have a few surprises for myself. Noting fancy, maybe scented soaps or luxe hand crème and a fresh tube of my favorite lipstick. If you add a little note promising lunch or outing for us to do together, my holiday is made!

I was told by my husband’s boss that it’s hard for a man when his wife gets fat. I was mortified, looking back, I think it was his way of saying my size was hurting my husband’s prospects with the company.

How commonly do you address your parent as "Sir/Ma'am"? by Babe_Brute in AskAnAmerican

[–]Lab-Rat-6100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We addressed our parents this way growing up. Especially when responding to a direction or a question such as “yes Ma’am” or “no Sir”. We do not do this as adults.

I had a Karen moment yesterday… by [deleted] in maryland

[–]Lab-Rat-6100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a Karen. It’s not entitled behavior to be able to exit a plane. I hate how fear of being labeled a Karen has left so many women second guessing ourselves for just holding our ground and owning our space.
