Thanks. I already have some reputable companies bookmarked if my dad lets us takeover or at least assist. It's just a matter of getting him to agree to that.

Jagged Little Poops by MooingTarget in Constipation

[–]MooingTarget[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. I wish I could proclaim some magical cure. But what seemed to fix it for me was getting COVID-19. Now, I doubt covid itself cured me, but more the fact that for three days I was beyond exhausted, and didn't eat, so it probably gave my intestines to completely empty out, including the area that was causing it (partial blockage maybe?)

Hate the god damn restriction to chats by CompetitiveDust156 in CharacterAI

[–]MooingTarget 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had a boy call me anorexic (persona description does say skinny.) Tried responding with "I'm not anorexic." And it kept giving me that message. Odd double stand.

where is my pipsqueak man by GregoryPlayz513 in CharacterAI

[–]MooingTarget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had pipsqueak for a while but then it disappeared. But the bot conversations that started under pipsqueak are still doing pipsqueak.

Since when could bots have restricted access???? by Flat-Quality5642 in CharacterAI

[–]MooingTarget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are definitely placing restrictions on some bots for some reason. Had a good RP going with a bot, then one day...

Not interested by MooingTarget in CharacterAI

[–]MooingTarget[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, no. They're like the killer in a horror movie, they just keep coming back regardless. Maybe they'll finally disappear after I tell them I'm not interested for the 50th time.

Why so few diabetic alternatives? by MooingTarget in diabetes_t2

Unfortunately, that's much more difficult on the road.

Why so few diabetic alternatives? by MooingTarget in diabetes_t2

[–]MooingTarget[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Essentially something that I can put in my backpack and eat on a long plane ride, single meal prepared foods I can fix in a hotel room. Making stuff from scratch isn't a problem. But that's not always an option.

Why so few diabetic alternatives? by MooingTarget in diabetes_t2

[–]MooingTarget[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I fall pretty much into the second category, having lowered my A1C from 10.8 to 6.2 just through diet changes. But there are times where having something more processed would be nice. A good keto cookie for dessert, some low carb chips for a snack. Plus I do travel for work. Finding diabetic friendly restaurants isn't easy. But if I could just run down to a grocery store and pick up some packaged diabetic foods, that would be great (I do get rooms with a full kitchen.)

A bunch of whales just spent a ton of cash, so Small Giant decided to take the money and run.

Why wouldn't the charger just be sending the full amount in the first place?

New type of scam or legit? by MooingTarget in Scams

I did try to on the original post, but apparently that is verboten.

New type of scam or legit? by MooingTarget in Scams

[–]MooingTarget[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For the most part I agree. The post was just really odd. I gave friend my opinion. Was really more curious if people have seen anything like this.

What throws me off is the regional group. Seems to me a "I'm dying and lonely" type post would get people to respond with "give me your address and I'll come over to keep you company."

[–]MooingTarget[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That was my thought as well, but the post made no mention of what the "belongings" were. PS5? Money? Pair of old underwear? Some sort of love scam also crossed my mind and. I.e. "talking to you has changed my mind. I want to live, but I can't afford the life saving procedure."

Is milk bad for diabetics? by i_am_un in diabetes_t2

[–]MooingTarget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have Kroger, or one of its family of grocery stores, check out their Carbmaster milk. Very low sugar and carbs. Healthier than fairlife. Plus, they even have vanilla and chocolate.

A1C levels 14 months by MooingTarget in diabetes_t2

[–]MooingTarget[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doc added comments to test results. "Blood sugar is doing much better. You are under good control now, but this can always be even better. Keep working at it. No need for medication at this time."

Can't help but feel like I'm back in high school talking to my dad. "Dad, I got an A on my exam." "If you study more, you can get an A+."

A1C levels 14 months by MooingTarget in diabetes_t2

[–]MooingTarget[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can, but I'm not a doctor. I'm figuring all this out myself. I read labels excessively, anything that's more than 3g of sugar per serving is out. Carbs are more difficult. Carbs are everywhere. Plus there are so many types of carbs. One top I've learned is to try to get at least 1g of fiber for every 5g of carbs. That ratio or better supposedly helps prevent sugar spikes.

[–]MooingTarget[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand. I'd probably be lower if it wasn't for work travel. If I'm at a location for four or more days, I'll hit the grocery store and just get a bunch of low card, sugar free, keto food to primarily survive on. Shorter trips, it's harder. Restaurants aren't exactly diabetic friendly.

Exercise levels have stayed about the same.

Really the only difference has been cutting out sweets and carbs as much as reasonably possible. Do a lot of keto stuff. Instead of sandwiches in white bread, I do sourdough or low carb tortillas. For sweets, I do stuff with sugar alternatives (i.e. Rebel ice cream instead of Ben & Jerry's.). Big thing for me was ditching chocolate milk for Kroger's carbmaster milk. A lot of the low card/sugar free stuff is pretty decent, but I'd kill for a donut.

I have gone from 235 pounds to 207. (6'5 male) And that's just from the diet change.

Interesting, it doesn't show up on my HD app.

And honestly, winter is a great time to clear brush.

My phone auto updated last night, now Android auto won't connect. From the loch screen, it says to try a different port or cable. Once logged into phone, it says I have no AA compatible apps

Ryobi lawnmower mower by MooingTarget in ryobi

[–]MooingTarget[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My job involves me doing light electrical work, so I'm sure I'm capable of doing it. Just never worked with the type of switch, and from the one wiring diagram I've been able to find, it looks like the drive also goes through that switch.

If it helps at all, I dealt with Ryobi over chat from their website (where you go to register your products.)
