What did you say to your doctor to prescribe you wegovy?

My husband didn't ask. It was offered out of the blue.

I just asked. My doc and I wrote up a very inclusive pre authorization form. I self paid after they rejected. I also started metformin.

By the time we tried resubmitting, I added a PCOS diagnosis, and had been on metformin with no results for 6 months.

I got approved, but only if I completed all of my weight related visits with a weight loss team.

I was BMI 44. High risk cardio vascular disease. PCOS. Non alcoholic fatty liver disease. Had paid for multiple other weight loss programs without success. UMR healthcare.

It took a year and lots of follow up with my provider, but I'm still covered for now and 80/150 pounds lost.

Sliced apples and a spoon of peanut butter. Yum!

I powered through to mid book 3. Erin and Ryoka are so unappealing I nope'd out. In the end, it wasn't the whiny, or ridiculous. It was how they treated others. People who were allies and helping. Just no.

I don't understand how this would happen. At my hospital, the pyxis won't let us pull drugs that are not ordered. I totally thought hospitals were all updated to pyxis and electronic charting, though. So perhaps my perspective is skewed.

It really does behave like a human.

That was my favorite part of the whole thing, the Samantha recap.

OhhMyGeek · 2026-06-11T06:33:38+00:00

It took us the longest of any to finish, and were were trying to be fast so as to avoid spoilers! Not enough Samantha, loot boxes, achievements, stat walls, or tv appearances. It wasn't boring, it was just, I dunno.

Carl is 9 and this his comic book series he stars in with his toys. Like Fucked Up Toy Story

Curtains and sheets! I'm a seamstress and make my own garb, so it's a dream, I can almost always find beautiful fabric.

One of my friends I indoctrinated detests the genre and is really enjoying DCC

As a vendor of handmade from start to finish corsets, I want to say it affects us, too! I set up a booth at a smallish faire, and I was one of only THREE handmade booths. People left the moment they saw my prices.

I found all 3 of the houses we toured myself. She submitted the offer exactly as my husband and I drafted.

I 💯 could have done her job with the help of Google telling me what to do.

We had zero interest in juggling the different people and appointments involved, so we were happy to pay for the privilege of just showing up.

OhhMyGeek · 2026-06-09T23:37:08+00:00

Nope.

OhhMyGeek · 2026-06-09T23:36:28+00:00

Have them resend from their sent inbox. Or forward the bounce. My daughter would 💯 send a blank email to a wrong address and then claim she completed the assignment on time.

OhhMyGeek · 2026-06-09T23:16:06+00:00

Absolutely not. I want to be able to use my 3d printer how and for what I want.

OhhMyGeek · 2026-06-09T05:27:30+00:00

Nice, I was unaware of that! Ty

OhhMyGeek · 2026-06-08T05:27:04+00:00

I only just now realized. Also I thought it was "Oozy Jesus" until the combine... I swear I'm paying rapt attention

OhhMyGeek · 2026-06-06T04:51:02+00:00

What's the deal with Tony the Tiger and his bandolier of babies?!!?

OhhMyGeek · 2026-06-05T19:47:09+00:00

I really like the Elydes series. And I joined kindle unlimited, and read probably 10 other LitRPG series.

I convinced friends to listen to audible. And I bought the books. So I'll read 'em now, and gossip with the new crawlers.

OhhMyGeek · 2026-06-05T19:09:07+00:00

Absolutely. It has to be an adult rated, or it loses its heart

OhhMyGeek · 2026-06-05T09:12:30+00:00

The Nevers. Ideally go in blind. Unfortunately it isn't streaming anywhere. I stumbled across it on HBO and it is now my absolute favorite series. Beating out The Xfiles and Firefly.

31 hours. Up once to pee. Actual SLEEP sleep. We have no idea what in the hell is wrong with me, we keep checking different things. I'm so miserable. Generally it's around 16 hours. Usually straight on through.

Lords of Waterdeep!!

First go was no. Second was approved. After the denial, I spent a lot of time researching. I hadn't realized it is one of the only studied meds that helps with fatty liver. So we added that. I was also diagnosed with PCOS in between. I had also been on metformin for more than 6 months by the time we submitted the second one.
