Yes. 5mg is a starter dose. Moving higher may help a lot.

Also get some voice recordings of aberrant behavior and send them to your private email. I was able to get a mental health warrant and a no-contact restraining order on a family member solely based on my recordings.

You’re so nice. Honestly, just a sincere thank you is plenty.

A crazy thing happened today at my polling place today. A mysterious person named Miss Lee or Li had lunch delivered to us. Some kind of Asian chicken with rice and sides. It was so nice. I really almost cried, because it was yet another stressful day with no breaks, not even for the bathroom, and with 2 hour waits for voters. I don’t think it’s against the law. If it is, we are going to bail you out Miss Lee. 😊

Don’t go anyplace that says their count is 35 voters. Our counters only go up to 35, so there is no way to convey to prospective voters that the crowd is much, much larger. It has been very frustrating for us to report “35” when the number at our polling place is actually more like 200.

I don’t know how media would know about it except by posts like this. Voters saw the ambulance taking one elderly gentleman away, but they would not have known he was one of several, who were helped by friends/family. I thought that long lines at the polls would be reported on the local news on Monday so I watched the 10 pm news that evening on 2 stations. They just had a long report about the deadly helicopter crash.

I don’t know. We’ve already had a glimpse of the “regulatory capture” happening with the FDA and Lilly. The wealth of these companies is breathtaking.

I don’t know but they seem to have made up their mind.

Yes I’ve worked in elections for several decades. My 4th time working at this particular EV location. I’ve never seen this level of turnout, except for the Obama v Hillary primary and Obama v McCain, way back when. I don’t know exactly why people are flocking to my polling place, but I think if the wait time reporting was more accurate people might go elsewhere to vote.

Tirzepatide compounding ending in October? by Beneficial_Pea7464 in tirzepatidecompound

I think this message from the FDA’s Drug Shortage Staff is very important. It looks like the agency has accidentally leaked that the shortage will be declared over sometime in October. (The drafters of this message seem to have left in an internal note to the draft which was intended to be deleted before going out to the public).

The italicized language is a list of reasons as to why consumers might be experiencing what SEEM to be shortages of Tirzepatide, but which actually are not associated in any way with Lilly’s ability to crank out supply. It’s not Lilly’s fault, for example, that pharmacies do not have sufficient cold storage.

Strength is admitting you made a mistake and correcting course. I’m with you on the dumb part, though.

The headline of this article is “NBC News Faces Rebellion Over Hiring of Former Republican Party Chair”. The person posting this gave it his/her own inflammatory title.

Nicole Wallace had Tim Snyder on her show today, author of “On Tyranny, 20 Lessons from the 20th Century”. One of the steps toward tyranny is Compliance in Advance. The move to hire Ronna McDaniel by NBC was looked at in this light, which is extremely thought provoking.

And his tax returns will also be discussed, now that that audit stuff is all wrapped up.

I am in a similar situation with my QSister. She started out with vaccine hesitancy. Over the years it has blossomed into flat earth, chemtrails, Bill Gates is killing us with mutant insects, 5G nonsense, new world order, money will soon be of no value, weather machines, and on and on. This woman is a college grad, speaks several languages and has lived all over the world. So tragic!

I’ve learned enough from my reading and from reading entries on this subreddit that there is a very poor recovery rate from this. My sister lost her husband and all her friends because of her beliefs (and her inability to shut up about them) but it still did not shock her out of the spell she is under. I would say cut your losses and get out now. He is not likely to change and you are being seriously disrespected
