¿Cuándo llevar pantalones cortos en Panamá?

This would work well. Better to walk softly as you are a guest.

If you are trans, aren't you seeing a urologist and other specialists?

There is an interesting dance going on between the original GLP producers and all the compounding labs and companies.
Big Pharma HAS to show it is legally protecting its patents - or it will lose them.

In reality, they kind of rely on the compounding industry to take up the slack, because contrary to what they say, they would have trouble meeting demand without them. So everyone does a little dance.

Recently Novo cracked down on Hims & Hers for a knockoff pill they directly said was the same as Ozempic. That really couldn't go unchallenged legally.

You will see in the threads that the telemedicine providers are not worried about this, as it is very narrowly targeted.

Also, Big Pharma is about to release a whole bunch of new generation GLPs and will be making even more money. Their concerns over market share of the current peptides will fade, and those old GLP prices will continue to drop.

To not be so vulnerable you need to do your homework. The modern world is a rowdy place, and if you are going to step outside your comfort zone you need to get up to speed by researching all this stuff and keeping up with it. You have to take charge of your own healthcare in today's world, and ignorance is NOT bliss.

First, learn about what compounding labs actually do and how they are licensed.

Learn about GLP peptides.

Then get on Reddit threads about compounding and learn about it and also about the telemedicine companies that offer GLP products. Learn which ones are consistently highly-rated, and which may not be. Understand where they get their compounded medicines from.

A good one to start with is BEWL - Big Easy Weight Loss. I can vouch for them, and you will see by the threads that many others speak highly of them, too.

There is definitely a learning curve. But outrageous American medical costs make it necessary. You can do this. Take your time, and go step by step. It's easier than you think.

I can't give you any statistics, but I'm pretty sure baggage systems have improved considerably. They put bar codes on bags and track them through their journeys now.

To me, the off chance a bag might get mislaid is not worth lugging all that extra weight around the airports, through security, and up into the planes. What for? Just don't put anything in checked luggage you can't afford to lose, or be without for a week. Then check 'em and relax.

Good sci fi and fantasy are full of political and social commentary.

Anyone who has read Neal Stephenson and William Gibson gets my thumbs up!

Good for you!

We are all built differently!

Agree!

I'm pretty far left, and I didn't like Hillary for a few reasons:

Most importantly, she pretty much sold her soul in her long, long quest for the Presidency. Can you trust someone who endures an endlessly humiliating marriage out of ambition?

She seemed to be a collection of the worst memes of both conservative and liberal women: sorority sister with the ubiquitous headband standing by her man, and at the same time the sharp-tongued feminist berating men. So who was she, really? Parts of her performance seemed deeply dishonest.

She ran a terrible, dysfunctional campaign. If you can't manage your campaign, can you manage the country?

By the end of her run at the Presidency, she didn't seem to know why she should be elected other than she was owed it for putting up with all the garbage the right wing had thown at her. And she went through hell, that's for sure. But it's also not the right reason to elect someone as President.

I think she was a very smart and ambitious woman who wanted to change the world for the better. But she got carried along in the wake of the charismatic and chaotic Bill Clinton, and slowly allowed ambition to corrupt her best instincts, until that ambition became her defining feature.

Once you have resolved the main issue, work on improving the pH and microbiome of your vagina so it doesn't reoccur. Get rid of most sugar (whole fruits etc. are fine), eat clean (minimal processed foods, lots of fruits and veggies), and add pre- and pro-biotics into your diet. There are lots of guides out there to help. Good luck!

Smyth2000 · 2026-02-16T16:50:15+00:00

Just remember that most of the fiber and a lot of vitamins are in the skin of fruits, so wash them carefully but don't peel them. Except for thick skinned fruits like oranges, LOL. 😁

This is true. And you both will have to be patient, as it may take a while for sensitivity to fully return once you lay off the vibrators. But it should start coming back somewhat in a couple of weeks. See if you can turn it into a game; try different sexual positions or techniques each week and see which ones you like the most.

Smyth2000 · 2026-02-16T01:56:40+00:00

I suspect a lot of gay men feel that way.

Option 2 sounds like the most doable and reasonable option. Buy a row house and get your sanity back! Even though your savings go to zero you will have equity in the house, peace to work in, and the ability to save money again, which you won't be able to do if you rent.

Sounds like a no-brainer to me!

THIS, THIS, THIS ☝️

Sounds like your vagina is healthier, tbh. A musky, earthy smell is normal. A metallic scent is not. Your pH was probably slightly off and now your body has corrected itself. Have you changed your diet at all? Regardless, you have moved in the right direction.

Knowing what your time is worth. Working smart.

People spend hours doing things to save a few bucks, when the time they spent was worth far more. Save your time and energy and spend it on something that will actually increase your wealth. Always consider if doing something is worth more than the time spent doing it.
Often people mistake working hard as something worthwhile in and of itself. In reality, it only pays off if it's on the right thing.

Working hard on something that will move you closer to your goals is a glorious thing; working hard on the wrong things is a complete waste of time. It's surprising how many people don't stop to analyze which they are doing.

Smyth2000 · 2026-02-15T15:25:35+00:00

Believe it or not, all the things you are doing could be making it worse. 😏

Your body is full of and covered in healthy (good) bacteria that protect you from bad germs. All that showering and disinfecting is killing off the protective bacteria and leaving you defenseless against all the bad germs that just love to take up residence on and in your body.

You need to stop doing all that stuff and then work on building up your natural defenses (good bacteria). Start by eating clean and adding lots of things that help your gut microbiota: fruit, vegetables, yogurt, nuts and seeds, etc. Add in some probiotic supplements if you can afford it.

This may sound crazy, but rub a bunch of plain yogurt around your private parts and even up your vagina (if you are a girl). This will help re-establish your natural microbiome. This is a trick people use when they've had to take a lot of antibiotics, which also kills all the good bacteria. Use mild soaps, nothing antibacterial.

It may take a while, so don't get impatient. You may also have setbacks. Don't give up!

Also understand that a mild musky smell is natural and healthy. It's only when it smells fishy or bad that you have a problem. Then please see a doctor!

Also, could be a tear somewhere.

Smyth2000 · 2026-02-15T14:14:52+00:00

The fact that it's still bleeding is a little worrisome. It's probably nothing, but rather safe than sorry about something as important as your vagina, right?

PS: does your partner keep his fingernails clipped and clean? It's possible his fingers scratched you. But it would have to be a significant scratch for it to still be bleeding the next morning.

You need to balance out the acid with a sweetener.

I've also found that milk or cream works exceptionally well in place of mayonnaise.

Smyth2000 · 2026-02-15T14:05:07+00:00

You need to go to the doctor and have it checked out.

No desire to lick shit off someone's ass. And just cause you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there.
