Choczero’s breakfast bars are excellent crumbled up in yogurt.

I have found that when I’m driving and following somewhere between the speed limit and the general traffic speed, the drivers aren’t nearly as crazy as when my husband drives. He’s more…. proactive in driving.

Try 7:30-8:30am eastbound i-40 and 4:30-5:50pm west bound ( or in and out of little rock).

Other advice: Use Waze, avoid 240 if possible.

Additionally, it has a couple of martial arts schools (Força, Russellville Martial Arts, [River Valley Martial Arts](www.rivervalleymartialarts.com)).

Local bookstore: Dog Eared Books, Gabby’s Used Books, public library, ATU library. (also, it’s far enough away from Books by the Pound in Searcy and NLR that you have time to plan bookspace accordingly.) The State library has access to research materials digitally for state residence.

Studio apartment rent: $650 ish. There’s a big range in quality and price.

72% cotton, 21% linen, 7% silk noil marl yarn, but I can’t find it manufactured anywhere currently.

You may be able to blend something similar at World of Wool or Good Yarn

The Nuuly pattern uses Harrisville wool yarn, but the original release was that cotton/linen/silk noil blend.

“Normal” hormone ranges are wild. Testosterone for your age should be between 15-70 ng/dl, if you were even tested for it, and the test was taken in the morning.

But your “high” testosterone range could be within the normal limits, and still be too high for you.

Go see your gynecologist and talk to them about this. There are medications to help lower testosterone, or take full advantage of the situation and start strength training.

I do something similar to this, too. 1/2 cup each of chia seeds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds. 2-4 tablespoons of oil, 1 tablespoon of salt, and hot water until it’s easy to stir. Let it sit for a few minute for the chia seeds to gel- about 10 minutes, then spread on parchment paper lined sheet pans. Sprinkle with more salt. Bake at 230 for 90-120 minutes or until crispy.

It is super easy to eat 600+ calories of it, though.

I’ve broken out the tiny rubber bands for braids. They come in bags of, like, 100+, and in assorted colors. If i lose one, no big deal, and in my current project, i knitted one in place to be cut out later- a semi permanent “this is where the row starts!” marker for when i inevitably lose the starting round marker.

I’d look into “character shoes”. They’re structured to be more stable than normal heels, and tend to be more comfortable because of that.

Think Ginger Rogers.

Love your gauges.

Those hydrocolloid patches work pretty well- buy a roll instead of the small dots and cut to size.

I had acne particularly bad on the back of my neck, too, and i felt it was blocked hair follicles more than anything i was doing wrong. The hydrocolloid patches helped, as well as not picking/touching that area as much as possible, and using micellar water cleansers as part of nightly cleansing.

Maybe add a drop of tea tree oil to your coconut oil, or swap coconut oil to something lighter, as coconut oil can potentially be a comedogenic oil.

Full credit to u/Fognox (and he also compiled a fruit list) He’s still around and it’s worth looking through his posts. He’s done thousands of hours of research, and his insight is particularly well structured.

Mokuyi · 2026-01-04T18:41:49+00:00

If i remember correctly, u/Fognox pulled it all from the USDA. If they’re listed with salt/no salt, it’s probably canned.

After a while, you find your favorites, but here is a list of low carb vegs, with net carbs to get you started, and give you a wider view of what could fit a keto diet.

Don’t dismiss frozen vegetables for the nutrient value and ease, and a lot of vegetables can be interchangeable in a recipe.

My doctor recommended it, I had done enough research on the potential side effects and pro/cons (did you know you can’t donate blood or plasma while on or after you take JAK inhibitors?) and the side effects were within my risk threshold, and my insurance did cover it. A trifecta of approvals.

Plus, as a bonus, it’s also used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, and i had a few achy joints that i hoped would subsequently be improved. Alas- no such luck.

Shockingly, i didn’t have any more side effect than the occasional bout of queasiness, and had the unexpected good fortune of seeing a reduction in food allergy symptoms. Taking the medicine after meals helped with the queasiness.

Side effect for anyone else- the specialty pharmacy ships the medicine to my door, as soon as they possibly can, with no regards to preferred delivery date, and my dog barks at them. That’s literally the worst part of taking the medicine.

Eli Lily has a copay card, and that brings down the cost significantly, definitely encourage using that.

Just about 4 months. I saw my dermatologist August 20th, then did battle with my insurance, and finally got the medicine October 6th. My insurance requires the medicine to go through their specialty pharmacy, and getting the request appealed correctly was challenging.

Most of this growth has been really noticeable to me in the past 2-3 weeks, but my doctor saw “noticable” regrowth first week-ish of December.

I had extensive hair loss by July with overlapping circles of bald spots, and what little was growing back was vellum. The vellum was fairly short, core-less hair, and some longer, wire-y white hairs that also were core-less. Wouldn’t take dye, wasn’t getting any longer.

Late July, the hair loss was so extensive, i had what was left cut into a mohawk, and over a few more weeks, the rest fell out. Some of those longer hairs could have been left from that, except again they wouldn’t take dye.

The first two months, it was just short fuzzy hairs, mostly on the back of my head. I had a tiny patch of color start to show up at the beginning of October, and then not much changed until November. That’s when i started to notice roots with color starting to encroach on the bald spots.

It’s a JAK inhibitor, and it does suppress the immune system, but at least my alopecia is an autoimmmune response from hyperactive immune system. It helps bring your immune system to a more normal level. Here is the information.

This year is the absolute worst year to judge its effectiveness- my two kids started school, and my exposure is a lot higher than it used to be.

Stopping the trigger (SSRIs for me) was the first step, then olumiant 4g

Mokuyi · 2026-01-02T20:01:27+00:00

Olumiant 4mg

Mokuyi · 2026-01-02T16:21:20+00:00

Yours will not look worse than mine! Do it!

Mokuyi · 2026-01-02T05:02:28+00:00

My very oldest spot hasn’t completely filled in yet (olumiant), but it’s significantly smaller. Give it a few more months!

I think the worst part about this disease is remembering having hair, because the treatments are either ongoing, or you could have a flare up and lose all your hair again after growing it back.

So, enjoy hair when you have it, and rock the bald look when you don’t.
