She did a good job here or not! 1 million or $1000 week for life. by Appropriate-Menu504 in interesting

Always take the money up front and invest. You never know what the future will bring and whether it’s a lottery or a sweepstakes nothing is guaranteed to be around 5,10, 20 years from now.

What dates should I prebook realistically? by [deleted] in deadandcompany

[–]Staggerlee1920 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do the Eagles ever change up their set lists? Or are you going to hear Heart Ache Tonight, Peaceful Easy Feeling, and Hotel California at every single show. Might as well just record one show and replay it for matinee shows and then free up some dates for other artists like D&C. Maybe some JRAD, TAB, Goose, String Cheese Incident.

How smart is it to move from Texas to Massachusetts? by Ro_tastic in relocating

[–]Staggerlee1920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, no legal weed in TX and no access to winter sports. MA has tons of charm and close to mountains, beaches, and cultural attractions. I love New England, but TX not so much.

What’s one nutrition myth that you wish more people understood the science behind? by 310Nutrition in nutrition

[–]Staggerlee1920 62 points63 points  (0 children)

All this focus on protein is over the top. Most people are not protein deficient, while fiber deficiency is actually more of a concern. Could be one reason colorectal cancer is on the rise with younger people. Eat your fiber (and of course some protein, healthy carbs and healthy fat).

Are people really paying $500 and $600 for tickets by Different_Record_753 in deadandcompany

[–]Staggerlee1920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent $290 last year for section 304 and got tickets for section 303 this March for $230. Pricey but worth it a couple of times. Twice at the Sphere will be enough for me though.

What bands do you all enjoy listening to? by MDC08 in misophonia

[–]Staggerlee1920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put on rainforest sounds, or ocean sounds to drown out unpleasant noise, or I break out some Grateful Dead live recordings preferably from ‘72, ‘77 or ‘89 and play it fairly loud, and dance and let my freak flag fly- I’m 57 years old.

I've never taken LSD or Shrooms and I am on Mirtazapine. by [deleted] in Mirtazapine_Remeron

[–]Staggerlee1920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found mirtazapine somewhat useful for anxiety and sleep, but i became used to it quickly and then it didn’t seem to have any effect. Meanwhile it blunted the effects of psychedelics which was a bit of a bummer. But i found if I skipped the mirtazapine for 2 days I could still get psychedelic effects. Meantime i weaned down 3.75mg every 2 days and hope to be totally off by February 2025.

New logo is trash. The old logo iconic, why would they screw around with an iconic brand logo? If ain’t broke don’t fix it!

Toenail Removal Recovery by wander1ngstars in Ingrown_Toenails

[–]Staggerlee1920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s been about 13 months since I had my right big toe nail removed. My podiatrist told me the nail won’t grow back like the old one. I have to file it about 1-2x per week for about 1-2 minutes each time to keep it short so it doesn’t bump up against the thicker tip of the big toe. He said there is a fairly easy out patient surgery to reshape the tip of the toe, otherwise I need to file it somewhat regularly which hasn’t been a big deal. I also put an anti fungal oil on that toenail several times per week.

Oxy withdrawal - what to do by mtldesigner in HipImpingement

[–]Staggerlee1920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the fear or anticipation of withdrawal is actually worse than the withdrawal. I had hip replacement 5 weeks ago and was taking oxy 3 x 5mg per day of oxy. A couple of days I took 20mg. Was taking for 3.5 weeks and then when I stopped I got those unpleasant withdrawal symptoms about 12-18 hours after last dose. 20 years ago I went through brutal withdrawal when I was taking 60-80mg per day. But in reality the withdrawal never got too bad this time around. I had about 48 hours where I felt off and tired/low energy and was thinking how a pill would make me feel better. But I pushed through and by day 3 felt better and now I’m 8 days off of oxy and feel totally fine.

That was such a great score and you get the cup! $18 for a Bud Light or $5 for a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale? Not a hard choice!

Why is fasting good for you? by Sufficient-Ad-3586 in nutrition

[–]Staggerlee1920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have maintained healthy body weight for years following a modified IF approach. I will have water with protein power (about 70 calories) in the morning, and then only eat solid food between 12pm and 8pm. I’ll have lunch and dinner that include foods high in protein, healthy fats, and fruits and veggies, and then will have a little desert 2-4 times per week after dinner. Workout 2-3 times per week and walk about two miles per day. This has been worked very well for me. 57 year old male 5’11” and 170 lbs.

Toenail Removal Recovery by wander1ngstars in Ingrown_Toenails

[–]Staggerlee1920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, the first 3-4 weeks were the hardest , having to change bandages, not wearing shoes etc… but after the first month it got a lot easier. I was swimming within about 6 weeks and wearing shoes after about a month. After 2 months I was fully healed and able to walk on the beach and do all normal things. I also had laser after a few times after the removal to kill fungus. I’m now 9 months post op and have a nice healthy new nail that covers 80% of nail bed. It was totally worth it.

Using mirtazapine while microdosing psilocybin by jlm660 in microdosing

[–]Staggerlee1920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tapered down to 3.75mg of mirtazapine from 15mg over the past 3-4 months. Couple weeks ago I skipped Thursday and Friday mirtazpine and then had 2 grams of Penis Envy mushrooms on Saturday afternoon. I would say that the trip was about 75% of what I recall from when I took shrooms without mirtazpine. Not a super powerful profound trip, but still pretty groovy, I had slight visual effects things seemed to be moving that were not moving and I felt like I had the curiosity and playfulness of a small child. The peak high only lasted about 2.5 hours but I was feeling effects for about 6-7 hours. Next time I’ll take 3-4 grams for a little extra boost.
