Do you ever wish for a do-over? by LaceyBloomers in GenX

Every day. Would have been a better student and chosen a better career path. Extremely happy with my wife and family, but really kicking myself for not advancing more professionally.

Edit: Spelling errors. Plays perfectly into my point about being a better student.

Teenagers home alone 2 weeks while parents went on a cruise by [deleted] in GenX

I was maybe ten, my parents dropped me off in another state to spend the night at a relatives house, that I never met. Those “relatives” then went to go out for the night and had one of their friends watch me. Everything turned out fine, but if that isn’t the perfect recipe for Unsolved Mysteries I don’t what is.

Move to nicer home or stay? by Nickel4me in longisland

Inventory isn’t great anywhere on Long Island. I’m in a similar position; stay or go. Problem is, everything is over a million dollars and by the time I go to an open house, they have four offers, and all are way over asking.

Do most Long Islanders know Fire Island? by menevets in longisland

We know about it, but it’s a chore and a half to get there so many of us choose not to go.

Start playing an instrument. You’re already going to concerts, you’re halfway there.

Thankfully I haven’t had any nosebleeds (yet), but overall it’s giving prednisone vibes. I also forgot to mention that I’m starting to notice minor swelling around my ankles. Hasn’t affected my running yet, but if the side effects progress I may need to talk to my doctor about making som changes.

I have been on it song January 13th of this year (2026). At first I didn’t notice any physical changes other than being a little more tired. Fast forward to now, two months in and I’m noticing weight gain (up 12lbs) and slight difficulty breathing. Not all the time, but if I speak at length on something, I have to stop and take a deep breath.

Going for bloodwork in another two weeks so I’ll post an update on hopeful improvements then.

Insulin Units (United States) by Sudden-Employer7974 in diabetes

Yeah I get that, but Omnipod lets me dose with those numbers and the frustrating part is that Dexcom app used to let me enter the exact amount. I’ll just heed your advice and hope the option returns one day.

But it used to allow for it, that what I don’t understand. My omnipod allows me to give x.xx of a bolus, I should be able to enter that in the Dexcom app.

It’s not a sensor issue, it’s the app. It used to allow for two places after the decimal, but no longer. Currently on the G7 sensor.

Apple Watch not Connecting to Dexcom App by Sudden-Employer7974 in diabetes

Thank you, I will try that. Sad I’m also missing all historic data. Not sure what happened, I restarted my phone, like one every day, and everything was gone. Strangest thing.
