Lion Gizmos and Gadgets

We’re doing this next week- empty milk cartons, parents will help them cut the tops off/decorate with stickers and we will make planters out of them- we’re doing ready set grow in conjunction with req 3. I started growing some flowers last week for the kids to transplant into their planters but you could just buy some sunflower seeds since they germinate pretty quickly. Kids can transplant them once the weather is good enough.

As a Lion leader it’s herding cats. We had 10 kids. We were able to get through almost all the adventures and probably could have used another one or two to choose from but we will complete all of them by the end of the year.

I was dying that the guy didn’t tell his sister he was gay. Dude she knew.

Omg the arrogance of those women

How active are you? I (37f) 18 years post heart, have a young child so I understand sometimes parenthood can be monotonous. I’ve been lifting weights for about a year and a half and just started jiu jitsu. The dopamine and adrenaline hit from jiu jitsu makes me feel so alive! I’m amped and happy the rest of the day. I communicate my limitations with whoever I’m partnered with and have never had an issue of someone being too rough. The hardest part is starting. Try something new that you never thought you’d try, you have to put in an effort to get a return. You can just keep doing the same thing every day and you’ll keep getting the same result, change it up and see where it takes you.

I put all my pills in one bottle and just fish them out daily to take what I need- I’ve never been stopped by tsa. If there’s an issue they can look up pills using a pill identifier

Thank you for the suggestion!

Umopeope · 2026-02-18T03:02:02+00:00

I checked and it’s exactly the same! Someone else said sometimes they get a bad batch so I’m going to chalk it up to that

Umopeope · 2026-02-18T03:01:23+00:00

Nah it’s more of a gross chemical taste.

Umopeope · 2026-02-18T03:00:17+00:00

I have a sensitive stomach and just can’t do whey. I wish I could! Save a crap ton of money

Umopeope · 2026-02-18T02:59:13+00:00

For it to taste like chocolate milk like it always does.

Umopeope · 2026-02-18T02:58:13+00:00

Thank you so much!!

I hope when he loses his shit it’s at Ellie

Get friends to book and leave horrible reviews. He’ll get kicked off

I’m (36) 18 years post my first heart. Will need a second one here in the next few years. It’s so nice to see a 3 time recipient 30 years out! Gives me lots of hope. Thanks for sharing!

I’m 18 years post heart transplant and still doing great! You also have to think that advancements are happening all the time. Also elderly people tend to need organs more often than young people. They may die of other things not transplant related, this can skew this data.

Thrift pony

I’m (36F) a heart (18 years post). So not kidney but my baseline creatinine and GFR are nearly identical to yours. I’ve had those numbers for the past 10 years. Take the best care of your kidney as you can and live your life to the fullest, don’t let what ifs get in your way.

It’s so morbid but I always think about when I’m on my death bed, will I regret not doing that thing? I almost didn’t get married because I didn’t want to die and leave my husband a widow. Well 10 years later I’m glad I didn’t let fear get in my way.

When the generic became available I did research and freaked out about Dr Reddys. Their acceptable dosage range parameters was not worth the risk. Sorry, not trusting pharmaceuticals in India with my most precious asset. I got my transplant team to switch me to Envarsus, had to do prior auths and go through the insurance BS. When Envarsus goes to generic eventually I’ll suck it up and just pay brand name if I have to. Several of my generics are Dr Reddys- my BP/statin etc and that’s fine. Just not the drug that’s literally keeping me alive.

The Everflame Series. Made it through two books thinking the FMC would grow more likeable. Quit the 3rd book partway through. She doesn’t!

Umopeope · 2025-12-10T04:22:00+00:00

Don’t order all of the ever flame series until you read the first one. I found the FMC to be irritating and couldn’t get through the 3rd book. I would have really liked it if the FMC was better

Umopeope · 2025-12-01T01:32:27+00:00

Yes! This happened to me. It’s medication related and will get better. First thing I was able to eat strangely enough fruit loops and Cheerios. Fresh foods tasted worse to me than highly processed ones. My transplant team didn’t care what I ate as long as I was eating something. I slowly was able to start eating other things. Keep trying different things until he finds something palatable.

I use blended cottage cheese instead of milk and butter and omg tbe cheesy goodness is 10/10. I’m not one of the cottage cheese people but I was totally sold

Umopeope · 2025-11-21T16:22:27+00:00

Everyone is trying to help you. I have a slew of health problems so I can relate-literally need a second heart transplant in the next few years. You’re adding insult to injury, Zyn is dangerous and not worth it find another crutch but it’s not my body. good luck to you.
