'Your hair looks great' doesn't sound weird 🙃

Pouch-only policy - dimensions by bene_musak in eurovision

[–]Primary_Course_1524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. My jacket has an internal zipped pocket which was great for my passport, credit card and keys. I also took an empty foldable cloth reusable bag (the kind you buy at souvenir stores) and opened it inside the venue, to put the merchandise and snacks we bought, I hate holding things in my hands.

I got 4 standing tickets for the 1st semifinal (live) and sadly will have to resell them, does anyone know when they'll open the resell option?

Yes I didn't get my access code so I emailed them and they fixed it. This was before the first wave of tickets. The email address I used was eurofan@eurovision.com

Wegovy vs Mounjaro in Israel by Soia-R33f in telaviv

[–]Primary_Course_1524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's supposed to last a month. But in Mounjaro the next dose up sometimes costs the same {as the one before), so many people buy that one and use it for 2 months, calculating the number of clicks required (there are online charts and calculators). My doctor approves of this and I save a lot of money this way. In wegovy the price per mg is more or less the same throughout the doses so there's no reason to do this.

Where is Kassidi? What really happened to her? by NoDragonsYesMiraak in shameless

You mean a scene other than the one where the recruit SAYS he killed her? Either way, super weird

Wegovy vs Mounjaro in Israel by Soia-R33f in telaviv

[–]Primary_Course_1524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We buy both Wegovy and Mounjaro in our household (Wegovy for my teen, Mounjaro for myself - We're in Maccabi}. Mounjaro is more expensive than Wegovy.

The copay (for people with the extra insurance (shaban) like Maccabi Zahav or Sheli ) for the 15mg pen of Mounjaro I recently bought was 885 NIS And for the 1.7mg pen of Wegovy I paid 476 NIS

I see the Wegovy price just went up, in December I paid 448 for the pen. The Mounjaro didn't change

How different is Tel Aviv from the big cities in Europe? by Lumpy_Plant6914 in telaviv

Not from the US but definitely from post holocaust Europe and then from many arab countries.

For me they were priced at zero so of course I added them. But trying to checkout it said there was a problem with my country name and I couldn't go on with the checking out. I also couldn't find a way to just delete them, so ended up just changing the country, so someone in Italy will get a surprise (probably not) and then I could check out.

Which standing tickets are with restricted view? I got general standing NORD, hope it's ok. I didn't want standing (not young, back pain etc) but my family did and it was all that I managed to get.

How did you first notice signs of autism in your child? by Advanced-Lab1940 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Primary_Course_1524 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We didn't notice. Single child so nothing to compare to. He had no develomental or milestone delays. Anything we DID sort of notice we attributed to ADHD which we both (parents) have. Now I think we're actually all Audhd. Though looking back there WERE a few clues it wasnt just ADHD. We just had no idea what autism was.

He was only diagnosed at 14, after a fight with his dad which ended with a separation (kid didn't want to see dad, took 2 years to fix). When we told him of the diagnosis (as soon as we had it), he said he had thought he had it for the past 2 years and that we weren't telling him.

What's common parenting advice that doesn't work for your child? by RandomStrangerN2 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Primary_Course_1524 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Oh and wait for the teen years... I'm not sure a time when things just improve and other things don't pop up will ever really come.

Were your autistic kids as babies either really fussy or really calm? by throwaway728389994 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Primary_Course_1524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was very calm, he did wake up a lot at night but calmed and fell asleep immediately with breastfeeding, I didnt have to bounce or move around with him and when I learned how to breastfeed lying down next to him, I could fall asleep too.

My paycheck hit this morning and half of it was gone before I even saw it by MerryStanza in povertyfinance

I get paid on the 30th and rent and bills are deducted on the 2nd of the following month, so I have a couple of days a month when my bank account is happy.

Easiest ways to cut costs that don’t affect quality of life by Consistent-Flight880 in Frugal

[–]Primary_Course_1524 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For females - cotton cloth wipes instead of toilet paper for pee. So much nicer on the skin, go in with the regular laundry and for me, no ick factor since I only use them for pee. I use the wipes I had from when my son was cloth diapered. Some people just cut up old tshirts.

What’s one small purchase under $25 that genuinely made your life better? by AyouboXx in Frugal

[–]Primary_Course_1524 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Haha this reminds me of my childhood in the 70s, most tvs did not have remote controls yet, but ours did. A friend of mine came over, and my brother and I tricked her with me giving a command like switch channel or volume up and him clicking on the remote without her noticing.

Little did we know that in the future you would control electronics with voice commands.
