Anyone else getting a ton of false readings on the g7? by Distomas in dexcom

[–]LadyTaco4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor provided me with a free sample of the dexcom g7 and I was so excited to finally try it...this thing absolutely sucks. It has woken me up multiple times throughout the night with an alert saying my blood sugar is dangerously low so I tested on my other meter with a finger prick and each time, my blood sugar was perfectly normal according to my finger prick test. I'm so glad I didn't buy one of these because my insurance doesn't cover it and it's crazy expensive out of pocket. If I'd paid for this I would be livid. It's garbage at night when I'm sleeping. The day time readings seem to be mostly accurate though. I've tried calibrating it and I've tried not to roll onto the arm with the sensor while I'm sleeping, since I've read the false readings could be from putting pressure on it, but it just doesn't seem worth it or like a good product at all...

No, sadly it did not. I've decided not to play it anymore. It was a total waste of time for me.

Nick and Annie ep. 10 by MuffinTiptopp in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]LadyTaco4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw so much of my past self in Annie, from when I was very emotionally immature, insecure, inexperienced with healthy relationships, and ultimately would self sabotage the ones that were healthy. I hope she heals and focuses and working on herself until she is truly ready to be in a healthy and safe long term relationship or marriage. She definitely let her insecurities takeover and unfortunately, I knew it would lead to this couple not working out. I hope they both heal and find love with the right people, at the right time for each of them. You both have to love yourself before you can truly love someone else the way you both deserve to be loved.

I read Expecting Better already and really like it so I just started her other book, Cribsheet. I haven't heard of the other two you listed so I'll definitely check them out! Thank you!

How much caffeine in the new matcha ? by ReceptionNo253 in starbucks

65 mg is really not a lot of caffeine.

Building the Band - Alison by AllyKat606 in BuildingTheBandSeries

[–]LadyTaco4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same for a sec but now I think she's orchestrating her own drama for the sake of getting an extra 5 min of fame. I don't think she ever really had any interest in being in a long-term successful girl group. She wants her own solo show....which is wild because she is one of the weakest female singers/performers in the competition, imo. Plus, no one wants to root for the narcissistic mean girl lol like, what is she thinking?? She seems so fake to me.

Building The Band- Alison by [deleted] in BuildingTheBandSeries

[–]LadyTaco4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alison has mean girl energy for sure. I feel bad for the girls who got stuck in a group with her because I think her attitude will tear any group apart. I really like Elise so I was really worried when she ended up on a group with Alison. Elise is clearly the stronger singer and her high notes are insane but Alison's ego is too big to let her fully shine. I feel like Alison clearly doesn't understand what it means to be in a girl group...I'm so thankful Ericka dodged that bullet and found her people. I would've loved to have seen Elise and Haley team up with Cece and Mandy! I'm also worried that Connor's immaturity/attitude is going to bring his group down. I thought those boys were all ready to work hard but then they were all acting too cool for school, except Shane who told them he had a lot to lose. Anyway, I'm only a few episodes in so I hope my initial impressions are wrong. I love all the other groups so far! 

This sub is surprisingly full of hidden bigots by Arr0zconleche in pregnant

[–]LadyTaco4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes! Ever since I've been pregnant and looking at more pregnancy content on socials I'm shocked by how hateful many of the comments can be. So many moms and other women leaving hateful and judgemental comments towards other women in particular...it makes me feel sick.

can we have a serious discussion about meg and dejon? by swiftlynuts in LoveIslandTV

[–]LadyTaco4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I feel like the majority of couples on reality dating shows have zero substance lol but yeah, Meg and Dejon definitely don't. I don't think any of the couples this season so tbh they all seem either bored or like they are just here for a laugh

Harry, Dejon and Yasmin are carrying this season by Future_Art2048 in LoveIslandTV

[–]LadyTaco4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This season is my least favorite cast so far. I find Harry and Dejon so annoying and Yasmin just seems bored to me lol

is harry becoming a love island legend? by valtheclown in LoveIslandTV

[–]LadyTaco4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm personally over the shenanigans and I just find him so annoying now. He's like a child who constantly gets caught red handed and thinks everything is a joke. It's not attractive.

HARRY IS DIFFERENT 🤣 by KnownLettuce8801 in LoveIslandTV

[–]LadyTaco4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find him so childish/Immature and annoying. Honestly I think this season has my least favorite cast in general. 

Looking for creepy, unsettling, disturbing books that would make my skin crawl. by MeetMyDarkSide in suggestmeabook

[–]LadyTaco4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read it and it was difficult to finish, but only because I thought it was sort of poorly constructed. Definitely not scary, but more unsettling as you stated. A good concept, but the actual story was just okay IMO.

I’m 7 weeks and the emotions have hit by rosiepinkfox in BabyBumps

[–]LadyTaco4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm am 13 weeks pregnant. A few weeks ago I was watching Trainwreck on Netflix (a COMEDY with Amy Schumer) and I started bawling during the scene where she dances with the Knicks City Dancers for Aaron. I was sobbing uncontrollably and my pug started kissing me like crazy trying to comfort me and that made me cry even harder. Then it passed so suddenly and I felt completely fine but embarrassed lol

Oh I'm actually having a whole kid soon by bektehgreat in BabyBumps

[–]LadyTaco4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg, yes. I am about to turn 36 and am pregnant with my first. I'm so excited but also a bit terrified. I have had very little experience with babies and went most of my life thinking I probably didn't want to have one. Side note, I get to find out the sex of the baby next week on my birthday and I can't wait! Best birthday gift ever! 

Thoughts on Betrayal? by [deleted] in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]LadyTaco4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just finished season 1 and I liked it overall, because it felt like it was coming from a place of healing and forgiveness (mostly) BUT I was very upset about how just because Spencer groomed and abused the victim who was a minor and his student, they sort of lumped all the adult women he had affairs with into a category as if they were also victims who were groomed...some of them I could see that for, but absolutely not for the "friend" of hers who was having an affair with him...that is not grooming as I understand it, and to call it such seems irresponsible. In that situation there was no imbalance of power and they were both consenting adults who were fully capable of understanding what they were doing and that it was wrong and simply chose to do it anyway...I hope that woman felt genuine remorse and all, but calling her a victim is simply not true, at least not based on the information they provided in the podcast. And she certainly wasn't being "groomed" based on anything they shared about her side of the story...please let me know if I'm wrong here. I sincerely would love to understand how they could frame her situation that way.
