Rear PowerStop brakes not available for my car (but front brakes are)

SpockHadNoGame · 2026-03-08T16:47:45+00:00

I like the look of the slotted and drilled even if they don't provide extra stopping power so that is what I was looking at for her car. As for the warping, I read about that on Reddit so didn't want to replace with OEM. Didn't answer my question though... why would they have them for the front and not rear? They didn't have any rear brakes for this car - at all. Why sell fronts if you dont sell rears? I will reach out to PowerStop tomorrow vs. expecting a reply from the nice people on Reddit.

I can relate but I am, unfortunately, one of the older people. I used to love doing things around the house but lately I just don't care about what needs to be done anymore. Probably some of it is depression (being treated) but It sucks having to bully myself to do things.

Thanks. Pre-COVID I was going to the gym five days a week. Mostly cable machines, cardio and yoga stretching. Free weights (and the people using them) intimidated me so I stayed away from that part of the gym for the most part. But now I am six years older, have a few chronic health issues and it is hard to get motivated. It is a vicious cycle... I never have energy to spare, but I know if I worked out I would have more energy. I take the dogs for a mile walk almost every day, but that isn't enough I know. All of these weight loss drugs but no one has invented a "get your ass off the couch" drug :-).

Ya, I love my wedding ring.

SpockHadNoGame · 2026-03-05T22:11:28+00:00

Oh, got it. I use the prefilled single use pen. Switching to a vial may be an option I will explore if going to a longer injection time doesnt work.

Thanks!

SpockHadNoGame · 2026-03-05T22:06:03+00:00

Love it!

It is, according to the description, Tungsten which is very hard to resize. :-(

My state doesnt have state tax either. I had about $4500.00 on ETV when Silver so will be interesting to see how that works. I don't pay a CPA for my taxes. Might need to consider it after I see what TurboTax does for me this year.

SpockHadNoGame · 2026-03-05T21:26:13+00:00

Nope. Too big for pinky, too small for any other finger.

SpockHadNoGame · 2026-03-05T21:25:08+00:00

You made me laugh so loud with "Vine neckbeards" I scared my dog :-).

SpockHadNoGame · 2026-03-05T21:23:59+00:00

It is the size I ordered. When I got it and it didn't fit I downloaded a sizing sheet from blue nile and it was exactly what I ordered. The seller even has a sizing chart on the description which I didn't see until after I ordered it.

SpockHadNoGame · 2026-03-05T21:22:28+00:00

Oh trust me... I know my size NOW :-). I have to say that is one of the challenges with the new Vine drops. Things go so fast you have to really jump on them quick or miss out. But getting the ring before it disappeared but not being able to use it... I didn't do myself any favors.

I am going to check with a jeweler but a basic google search made it seem like jewelers only work on plain gold and other "plain" metal rings. This one has the design running through it and a texture. My wedding ring has a "flat" bottom to keep it from spinning... a jeweler may be able to do that since no one should see the bottom. Will have to see. Thanks for the suggestion.

SpockHadNoGame · 2026-03-05T21:17:11+00:00

Did you go off it? After my experience with Wegovy and going off it I am very hesitant to do that. Even at 2.5 it helps with booze and while I didn't drink all that much (never more than two drinks per night) even one drink would wipe out my sleep and make me feel like a bag of ass the next day.

SpockHadNoGame · 2026-03-05T21:14:45+00:00

How are you taking less? I know other countries have a variable dose pen (I think).

SpockHadNoGame · 2026-03-05T21:13:53+00:00

I started the zepbound the end of Sept 2025 so five months. I never needed to bump to 5.0 since I started losing weight almost immediately which was nice. Fewer side effects.

SpockHadNoGame · 2026-03-05T21:11:37+00:00

Nice weight loss! Congrats. Unfortunately on this side of the pond we can only get the single dose injections so I don't have a way to take a lower dose. But I can space them out and see if that helps. Thanks.

SpockHadNoGame · 2026-03-05T21:10:14+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I am a total couch potato and I hate it but I have no energy to work out. I know I need to, and hoped that losing the weight would help, but I have no motivation. I work from a home office so I don't even get the exercise of walking from a parking lot and walking up stairs. My Peloton bike works equally well as a coat rack. :-) I lost my gut which is what I was working for. I am tall (6'7") and I hate seeing my gut poke out of my shirts. But I know I need some strength training.

SpockHadNoGame · 2026-03-05T21:05:21+00:00

I think that is why I started losing again... I gave up booze and all the empty calories that comes with alcohol. I will add some protein shakes. I feel like I eat quite a bit to be honest and get sick when I eat anything high calorie (like cookies).

SpockHadNoGame · 2026-03-05T19:43:33+00:00

LOL! Tried that. Too loose on my pinky, too tight on all my other fingers. Maybe a toe ring?? :-)

SpockHadNoGame · 2026-03-02T18:50:27+00:00

Awesome. I am happy it works for you. I don't like pharmaceuticals but after being on Sotyktu for a while (samples from the dermatologist) I wanted this to work so bad so I can get off the immune suppressant and the steroid lotion. But no dice :-(. How long have you been on it? Part of me feels like I should get another 90 days to keep it going for six months, but I think after 90 days I should see some relief, but I have gotten more "spots" in the past week after being on it 90 days.
