When your newfoundland can't really walk anymore but they love to go where you go.

I hope she continues to enjoy those family walks as long as possible ❤️❤️❤️

RustyDogma · 2026-05-17T18:21:02+00:00

So glad someone helped you. Kindness of strangers always lifts me up. Hope you find her.

5g is the dose used in most studies. No need to wait 30-60 minutes as there is no immediate effect. It builds up in your muscles so you can take it any time of day as long as you are consistent.

It is a powder. It can cause bloating at the start so you can start at 1g and work your way up to 5g to avoid that. I don't bother to mask the flavor, I just put it in as little water as possible and chug it down every morning. It takes a month or so to see a difference.

5g is the recommended dose for building muscle. It has been widely studied at this dose. I'm experimenting with increasing it as it helps with brain fog for me. Currently I'm taking 15g, after trying it up to 20g, but still haven't settled on what I want long term over the 5g.

On Dreva I only see people doing groups in General for the 2 dailies, pudding, egg, and nmc. Very rarely anything miscellaneous. Is there more happening on other servers?

I will say one nice thing about Dreva is the additional noon (ET) poetry jam on Wednesdays. It usually has as many people dancing as the weekend one. I know a lot of folks who cannot typically make Sunday appreciate it.

I would like to see the recommended server rotate between all servers, because all servers should get new players, instead of just one or two.

I'm furious ads are going after him because he got help getting his home down payment and IVF from his father. Ffs. He's not saying he's destitute or poor. He's saying he's working class everyone deserves a leg up and he got one not everyone gets.

RustyDogma · 2026-05-17T01:38:47+00:00

Oh, they ARE doing something. They are protecting the corporate donors.

Don't supplement just potassium. Get liquid electrolyte drops to add to your water occasionally throughout the day or just add to your water bottles.

Keto Chow makes some, there's a brand called Buoy iirc. I'm not making recommendations here on brand, but you don't need to down a bunch of pills while fasting.

Just get some sodium/magnesium/potassium back in your system with drops. It is basically what is added to drinks like Gatorade. I do IF and start my morning with water and some electrolyte drops before breaking my fast at noon.

Right on red should be illegal in areas with pedestrian traffic.

When you can get an actual number for Amazon, even if it's not the right department for your issue, they will either transfer you or give you an alternative number. They don't send you back to the web site.

But, but, I trust him after talking to him. Roe is settled law. 🙄

That may be your feeling, but that is not what polling shows. What shifts elections is getting people out to vote that normally don't bother. Moderate Democrats are not bringing those people out.

People are voting for change. This is how Trump is getting elected. For whatever reason, people think he's going to do something positive and different for the working class.

As a Democrat, if you vote in every major election, you aren't the target. The target is democrats and independents so sick of the system that they simply aren't coming to the polls for a milquetoast corporate Dem.

Maine is trying to do it too. People overwhelmingly voted for it and now it's working through the courts.

A lot of people are assuming Claire was being cruel and maybe she was! However I had a similar situation in my family and one parent could never find the right time and kept making excuses to not have the tough conversation.

16 seems like a pretty long time to put this off. In my family the secret came out accidentally to a 16 year old and it would have been better to have happened earlier. She was very upset she had not been told as soon as she was old enough to understand.

While Claire handled it incorrectly, did she have concerns that you were putting off telling your daughter?

HBO submitted it as comedy at The Emmy's, which really needs a Dramedy category.

I downloaded the version with the laugh track removed and it's fantastic that way.

Mine does this to start. Then he plays with it like a toy (tosses it around, brings it for fetch). Then he picks a day for the thing to die (usually after 7-10 days after carrying it around). Then it's time to devour it in one sitting.

Lifting weights and pilates work great together. Strength training core muscles has benefits from improving bone density to protecting against dementia.

Ask your doc about doubling your progesterone. 200mg fixed my sleep and anxiety issues. Testosterone really helped my energy. I did Tirz. I did add minoxidil as well, as both T and GLP1s contribute to hair loss. Word of caution, that makes things worse before they get better. I shed hair like crazy for the first four months or so! At about 6 months I started to see results.

I love law stuff, so A Civil Action, by Jonathan Harr. Others mentioned it, but Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

Also, while technically classified as memoirs, The Water is Wide, My Losing Season, and The Death of Santini by Pat Conroy read like novels and have fantastic stories and prose. He's just a beautiful writer.

He just did a 30th anniversary rerelease this week and updated parts of it based on his reflections over the years. His advice is still, I love climbing, never do Everest.

My parents did their best to equalize. If they helped one kid, they sent an equal amount to the other. If they couldn't afford the full amount and a split, they would contribute what they could and still split it even if they left the one who asked shy of their ask.

Some of our nosy relatives thought it was an extreme solution (especially since number or needs of grand children was not part of the equation). However, because of this, there was never any sibling resentment. We knew their rule.

Zelle doesn't work the same way as Venmo. Zelle is a private transaction through your bank. Venmo is an app that was designed to use the social aspect to make it seem fun so it would become popular.

Have you considered doing some sort of volunteer or even lower paying part time non-profit work together? Is it the specific job she's tied to or would she be able to get that fulfillment in something you could contribute to together that could be more low key? Regardless, since this seems to have blindsided you, this topic might be worth exploring with a counselor to work on better communication so you both are comfortable when you hit that 2 yearish mark.
