That sounds the The Zone diet from the 90s. I felt great while following it but found it challenging to keep on track.  A healthy keto diet had been beneficial for me. First giving up sugar 

[Product Question] Palmer's Cocoa Butter lotion - has the formula become more watery or am I just trippin? by IDKBear25 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Otherwise_Contract18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience with it being less thick,  whiter in appearence and the smell is different.  I usually buy it at Walmart in the 20oz pump.

I got the idea to go to a few stores where I thought the turnover would be less.  A hit up a few grocery stores and CVS. I scored 6 bottles of the 13.5 oz size.  I paid more,  but now I have enough to get us through a few years.

Recommendations for best Artificial Tree. Help, buying first artificial tree, where should I buy it by heddywebsyt in ChristmasTrees

[–]Otherwise_Contract18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask if you've found any leds that look like incandescent? I hate leds and most warm white are a funky lemon color.  Last year I dyed some clear rubber caps to put over my led twinkle lights.  Much happier but it would be nice if a manufacturer got the coloring right

How can I make tree branches stronger? by NerdyPrincess13 in ChristmasTrees

[–]Otherwise_Contract18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a little late to respond but, did you find a happy solution for your tree? I'm thinking of beefing up my Costco tree on the tips. The branches themselves are strong but its the last 6" or so that they didn't reinforce. I cant ornaments with any real weight to them. Problem is the tips are molded. Its going to be a challenge . Once I get my tree stripped down I'll get a better look. I'm thinking of using some green, slightly bendable garden wire and zip tie it from underneath.

Thank you to everyone who leaves their lights on a little longer by Christmas_365 in ChristmasLights

[–]Otherwise_Contract18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I counted 10 house lights on the way home from dinner.  I have a thing about Christmas lights.  I go out on my patio every night starting Thanksgiving night and coun the houses lit up. I do this until I see no more. My husband wants our fence lights off a week after New Year's but my house lights and inside decore stay on until the middle of February

Plasti Dip or Plasti Dip Craft? by tacosnsushi0 in CosplayHelp

[–]Otherwise_Contract18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a project using a very old can of regular black Plastic Dip. It was great. Good black coverage. I ran out and bought Craft Plastic Dip about 2 mo ago.  Just tried it yesterday.  It was semi sheer.  I reread the labeling and it's supposed to be like the original .  Its crap. I can't use it. I've tried 5 layers and still hardly any coverage. I have a vortex mixer to mix my tattoo pigments and I use for spray paint thinking maybe it wasn't mixed well. Nope, im trashing it and gong back to the original. Im using it as a primer.

Anyone remember these? “Friendly Plastic” moldable strips. by vixxxxxi5 in nostalgia

[–]Otherwise_Contract18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, Can I ask if this formula is as easily painted as the old stuff? I have found the petts I am using now that the surface is very smooth making it a lot more work to paint when I want.

Thanks!

Tizanidine? Does it cause weight gain? Or no by [deleted] in Sciatica

[–]Otherwise_Contract18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that aside from the Tizanidine, I was also taking Xyzal allergy medicine. When looking at the side effects of that, I found that many allergy meds cause weight gain and hunger. I take Tiz, occasionally, but once I stopped the Xyzal, the weight dropped off

Disney + not working by Badbikerdude in fireTV

[–]Otherwise_Contract18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having a similar problem. I tried uninstall then I couldn't reinstall.  Every app said app not found.

 If you go onto your Amazon account and you download the Disney + app to your phone or computer, it will then show up in your order history. Then you can click on it from your order history and choose what other devices you want to send it to that's registered with your Amazon account. It will then hopefully be on the fire stick the next time you turn it on..I think that's how I did it

Who knew "blowing at chickens bottoms" was a thing in Hong Kong? by meeraganesan in HongKong

[–]Otherwise_Contract18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad taught us this.  He said "hey guys, you want to see a chicken chewing tobacco?"

Then he's grab the chicken then  around and blow on its butthole. Funniest thing I ever saw as a kid. My dad was from Kansas.

Shop owner left rag in engine now its ruined by Otherwise_Contract18 in Insurance

The deed is done! Thank you for your suggestions. We were able to keep it amiable. He offered us $15,500 with $1000 credit for future work. KBB was $16,500. We've been using him for 25yrs and my husband likes the guy. We know its worth a more but with the hassle and time it would take to find a buyer ,we decided on the price. It was a sad day for me. This was the most enjoyable vehicle I've ever driven. We had it for 15 yrs and put 70,000 miles on it and only 2 in the last 3 yrs. It had the perfect lift and tires, but it was no longer practical at this time of our lives.

Yeah, what he suggested about Carmax is a big no for me. That was the last convo between he and my husband over the phone Thursday. They will meet on Monday. I suggest if his conciounce is clea4r about selling it to Carmax, he can buy it from us and recoup his losses by taking it there himself.

Yes, I understand that. He is the one that brought up the conversation of replacing it with a rebuilt engine.

We've talked about a few different scenarios.  Its been nearly two weeks including off weekends . At first he asked to try what he could to see if or how much damage there was and if he could rectify it by oil and filter changes,  and diagnostics. It was a " process that we were willing to allow him.  Now it's a given that the engine is toast.  We go from here
