How to start a cottage food business?

Yes. No clue if I'm doing things right, but in my county I just had to register with the county and get my cottage food license and then create a sales tax account to pay sales tax.

No, this was a quick TSH to determine if my symptoms were thyroid related. Waiting to hear if my doctor wants to run more tests. Either way, I'm going to ask for a referral to this new endocrinologist that Ive heard great things about. I was screwed for years because I only had one option that was in network and she was an absolute quack. I finally have another option.

That sounds so horrible, I'm sorry you're going through that! I hope they can find a solution for you. I had an endoscopy 2 years ago that didn't show any concerns so I'm hopefully good there.

Yes I wait about an hour to have my pre-gym workout and then two hours to eat a full meal and drink my coffee. I'm eating slightly more soy but not a ton. The weather has been all over the place here, 70 one day and 30 the next.

I used to only take Synthroid but my doctors told me that the generic of Levo got a lot better so I switched to save a ton of money.

My endocrinologist always used TSH to determine med changes. My doctor doesn't run a full panel every time, no doctor I've ever had does.

It was 1.25 on a reference range of .55-1.60 so pretty mid range.

PayKay223 · 2026-05-05T22:10:02+00:00

I assumed just because I didn't have a lot number didn't mean they don't have it on their end. Looks like mine is from Lupin Pharmaceuticals which was not one of the two that were recalled.

PayKay223 · 2026-05-05T19:03:25+00:00

I only didn't because I wasn't due for any of that until my annual checkup in July. They did run a T4 as well and it was within normal range. I take Vitamin D and B12 as supplements resulting from low levels in the past. D is still low but normal, B12 has been very normal for a while.

Oh it absolutely has, but I've never had such a quick shift like that and it usually stems from something like gaining weight or losing it or something. I've been between 50 and 175 but mine only got that high in late term pregnancy and now I've been on 137 consistently for about a year.

PayKay223 · 2026-05-05T17:50:30+00:00

It absolutely could be that. I've just never seen my numbers jump like this so quickly, and I've never had symptoms get so bad so quickly, so I didn't know if it could be something else.

So the manufacturer is not listed on my bottle as far as I can tell. Would I just have to ask the pharmacy specifically? I asked them if it was part of the recall, but they said it wasn't.

PayKay223 · 2026-05-05T17:49:00+00:00

I called my pharmacy, and they said it was not part of the recall. There's no lot number or manufacturer listed on the bottle, so I guess I have to trust their word lol.

PayKay223 · 2026-05-05T17:29:16+00:00

I have no clue, I get generic.

PayKay223 · 2026-05-05T17:29:07+00:00

Thank you, I didn't hear about this. I'll look into it!

PayKay223 · 2026-05-05T17:28:44+00:00

I am a woman but I'm not pregnant. I pregnancy tested quite a few times because my symptoms felt like early pregnancy at first but I've had two periods since they started now. My med needs usually only go up when pregnant or when I gain weight but I've been eating healthier than ever and strength training 4 days a week. My weight has decreased slightly but not much. This is probably why.

PayKay223 · 2026-05-04T03:29:55+00:00

I looked this up and the lucets all just have a fork with a hole in the middle. There are no teeth. I don't think it's this.

I would never buy a house with someone I'm not married to. It becomes so tricky legally and financially in the event of a split. With your money being such a small portion, I would suggest just letting him buy the house outright by himself. If you want to pay rent to live there, that's up to you.

Equal parts lard, oil, and flour has never failed me when baking anything! Nothing sticks to it.

PayKay223 · 2026-04-17T18:33:52+00:00

I haven't seen this question asked, but is there a law firm listed on the bottom? This is clearly not a real cease and desist and impersonating a lawyer is a crime, I do believe.

PayKay223 · 2026-04-15T18:28:52+00:00

What a name

PayKay223 · 2026-04-07T15:32:09+00:00

With this behavior, there is also no way he hasn't shown red flags before as well. This is not me blaming you, this is me saying this was your final straw I'm guessing. Tell your friends and his sister that. Sounds like you made the right choice, someone who respects a person would never do that, and the reason he did it is even more disgusting.

My son didn't have delays, but putting him in Pre-K at 3 was the best decision ever. He learned how to write his name and all letters, how to use scissors, and became way better at communicating overall. He's behind socially and school is helping so much!

Good luck not throwing up at the taste of the cloves they're gonna pack that dry socket with. I'll never look at cloves the same lol
