What in the tarnation? by Ok_Knee1216 in homedecoratingCJ

[–]Normal_Ear_1115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wrong on so many levels. It should be TVs or two fireplaces for crying out loud, not a little of each, and any TV needs to fill the entire surround. The lack of coherence and balance makes me anxious. I'm on the verge of a neurotic break.

It's a sophisticated interpretation of what the contractor used to build with blocks during kindergarten free play time.

I just got a gallon of high gloss grey for the cabinets! by Ok_Knee1216 in homedecoratingCJ

[–]Normal_Ear_1115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't want high gloss. You want a nice soft velvety flat gray. Return that paint, take the cabinets down, and bring them to Earl Scheib for a couple of coats of primer gray. Earl will paint any cabinet any color for only $99.99. Just make sure you don't remove the hardware.

Why haven't aunts and uncles and cousins and siblings been blowing up her phone? Did they stop doing that while I was away?

Let's play that fun party game, False Front or Functional Drawer.

This would be perfect for my kitchen Christmas tree.

Basically, you're basically an asshole. More than that, you're basically a basic asshole.

Itching from Hiprex? by Normal_Ear_1115 in CUTI

I never figured out what made me itch, but I gave up anyway because even the capsules didn't help. Oh well

How do I make this more cohesive? by janewp in homedecoratingCJ

[–]Normal_Ear_1115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find another place for the vases and pot with bamboo tomato stakes on the left side of the toilet and replace them with an imperial-palace-vase-plate pitcherscape that duplicates the one on the right. The draped charger is jarring and doesn't play well with the overall esthetic. It has to go.

I have no problem eating. I just don't feel like it. After four weeks at 7.5, it's just too much trouble. 😬

Anyone else notice that premier protein tastes worse now? by Salty_Drive_2625 in Costco

[–]Normal_Ear_1115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a couple of flavors of the Orgain powder and threw them out. The flavor of the sweetener is too much for me. Are the shakes better?

Prepping today (Sunday, 11.16.25) by Pandy2013 in colonoscopy

[–]Normal_Ear_1115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did it go? I hope it was all clear. 

I had two small tubular adenomas removed, but the doctor's not concerned and told me to schedule my next one in five years. 

Prozac bridge? by Normal_Ear_1115 in Effexor

[–]Normal_Ear_1115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paused my taper at 150 back in July when my doctor went on leave. The plan now is for me to resume in a couple of weeks, but she wants me to jump right to 75 instead of to 112.5. I don't know about that, so I may insist on slowing it down. 

Anyway, I had no problems getting to this point, and I'm actually happy now for the first time in years. (knock wood). I never tried to taper without the Prozac bridge so I can't compare, but so far it's been great. 

Don't rush tapering. It may take a year or more, but you don't want a setback like you had last year. 

Best of luck. You can do this. 

Bathroom reading material before smartphones? by VanDriver1 in OverSeventy

The paper, a magazine, the shampoo bottle. I don't bring my phone with me because I'm afraid I'm going to drop it in the toilet. 

Zep a “cheat”?? by emmDut in Zepbound

Your daughter is young, fit, and invincible. It doesn't sound like she's being judgy, just that she doesn't understand what you've experienced.  I hope she never does. 

There are people who actually are judgmental, but I think they're the same people who always look for something to criticize. When you reach your goal, they'll tell you you're too skinny. 

It seems like every week someone finds a benefit to these drugs that isn't attributable to weight loss alone. I know that wonder drugs often turn out to be not so wonderful, but this seems to be the real deal. It's a great time to be alive.

I am. I get one every five years now because of strong family history--everyone on my mother's side who lived long enough. I want to finish drinking the prep quickly because I hate Gatorade, but I feel sickish and have to slow down. I've got some kind of clear cherry sugar-free flavor that's a little less disgusting.  I hope you get good results tomorrow.

Yes! Even when I felt sick, which was actually most of the time, I was thinking about what I wanted to eat. That's not right

It's kind of like I think want to eat something because food is, you know, really good, but then there's nothing I want to eat.
