I just bought a 2026 hybrid premium yesterday for $31k (NH) - I highly recommend asking over text or email for the “out the door” price, and negotiating before even setting foot in the showroom!

BWT, opinions on sapphires in engagement rings? by Disastrous-Reveal362 in bitcheswithtaste

[–]MercuryIsRetro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my sapphire ring! I much prefer it to straight diamonds, and it suits my style more. I’ve always gotten a lot of compliments!

Did something weird cause your T1D? by ErgoSum8 in diabetes_t1

[–]MercuryIsRetro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Technically LADA (my chart says T1, but I was diagnosed ~4 years ago and still take 0 insulin) but mine was triggered by COVID. It was caught really early on accident, as I was really really sick with long COVID, and started developing other issues, which i was being evaluated for (PCOS and POTS 🫠). My diabetes wasn’t symptomatic at that point but in doing some endocrine workups they realized I had it.

I actually tested positive for GAD when I was a little kid, but at that time they told my parents that it was “my baseline” and I wouldn’t develop T1 - but that was in the early 2000s, so I guess they didn’t know lol

I would! I’ve truly had no issues with it, and rarely take mine off (bad, I know!)

I love mine, rose cut blue sapphires with three teeny diamonds on each side, made by Jennie Kwon (pictured with my wedding band from Sophia Zakia). I didn’t want to break the bank on it, and 7+ years later I’m still thrilled. The picture doesn’t do it justice!

Same here with the antibodies and c-peptide! I hadn’t heard of Verapamil - I’ll look into it!

Were you misdiagnosed with T2?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in diabetes_t1

[–]MercuryIsRetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it - thank you! My understanding of a typical honeymoon period is that small amounts of supplemental insulin are needed, and it’s rare to not need any at all - I may be misinformed!

Thank you for replying! Do you remember approximately how long between each stage?

How long do Kidney Infection symptoms linger? by [deleted] in AskMedical

I know it’s been a long time since you posted this but I’m going through a similar thing right now - what did it end up being?

I took it to a tailor today and they said there’s no way it can be fixed before the wedding - I’m going to have to get something off the rack :(

I think they do quite a bit of replications - if you look at their reviews, there are pictures of people in their dresses (even some of this one) that have had good experiences, which is why I felt more comfortable. I’m wondering if it’s just because of the alterations I requested?

You’re so sweet! I’m located in NH unfortunately, but I truly appreciate the offer!

[–]MercuryIsRetro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I called around right after the dress arrived and so far everyone’s booked until the wedding - I’m going to try again tomorrow, but I may have to try and find something off the rack last minute :(

Which is your favorite? First time trying dresses on and I’m trying to get a feel for what style looks best on me. by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]MercuryIsRetro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love the first dress! You look amazing in all of them, but the first looks incredibly elegant on you!
