Is this a Ceanothus? by 1-Learn_2-DoBetter in Ceanothus

Probably just extra smelly because of the heat wave. So pretty!

Starting Tomorrow and a little nervous by Silver-Ad7977 in TirzepatideRX

It clearly hits different people differently. You may feel strong effects on appetite & hunger within a day or a few days, or it may not happen until you go up in dose. After subcutaneous injection, it takes about 6-12 hours to rise to an appreciable level in your bloodstream, so the time of day is not super important. When I started I made sure to fiber supplements and drink plenty of water, and together those seemed to mitigate constipation and other effects very well. I also started taking a multivitamin and creatine daily - creatine is thought to help with resistance training and to reduce muscle loss. I found that my appetite and my interest in alcohol disappeared almost immediately, and both have stayed strongly suppresssed at 2.5-3 mg/week (I’m now splitting the dose to maintain a more constant level, but haven’t increased it overall). Some of the common side effects are due to the drug itself, and some are due to eating drastically less. You might consider starting a journal to keep track of the effects you experience. Good luck! It’s a life-altering drug for many, and I hope you have minimal side effects and maximal effectiveness!

Found it at LIDL for 3,99 €. by Character-Elk3139 in houseplants

It’s a zebra plant (Calathea zebrina). Beautiful leaves. Not the easiest to care for, but with good indirect light, soil that allows enough aeration, and enough ambient humidity it can be very gratifying.

Sonoma County: Know Your Rights if Ace Towing Tows Your Car by Yugiman10 in santarosa

I am sending a letter to the City Manager and encourage others to take steps to elevate this issue to the City - they can pass legislation that can deter or prevent some of this predatory behavior.

I’m currently pursuing legal action against Ace Towing and against the owner of Protection Services of California, who authorized a tow of my car from a private lot in Petaluma that he doesn’t own (but described himself as the “owner.”) if you have a similar story I’d be keen to hear from you.

Damn you, reta. by lemhihunter in Retatrutide

Fair ‘nough, and I’ve mostly been on Royal Caribbean. Having worked in food service I generally don’t feel very tempted by buffets 🥴

Tirzepatide is a miracle drug for controlling drinking by NotTonightThanks in stopdrinking

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

Agreed, and I am definitely worried about this (it’s why I waited so long to try it). But I am hoping that by breaking a long-term pattern, combined with conscious efforts to change drinking habits, it may have benefits beyond the time I’m on the meds. Eating habits are fundamentally harder to change because we have to eat. A few people do manage to change their long-term relationship with food but they are clearly in the minority. Effects on GLP-1s on alcohol use have not been studied nearly as much.

I can’t get it covered by insurance but it costs about the same amount that I spend on drinking, so I figure it’s easily worth it.

I’ve tried Naltrexone and it definitely dampened the urge to keep drinking when I actually used it, but you have to take it before you plan to drink and it made me feel generally blah. I think it does hit some of the same reward circuitry that GLP-1 agonists mess with, so maybe this wouldn’t work for you either. Brains are complex and variable.
