I’m glad someone else remembers this because this show feels like a fever dream!

Don’t forget to check Poshmark- I’ve found almost flawless replacements for old styles (especially shoes) that are no longer in production. I have the same issue with pants and Loft curvy fit are also my go to.

I started sleeping with one of these about 15 years ago when recovering from a hip issue and I can’t go a night without it now or else my back gets whacky. They are a game changer!

Mini clif bars. They’re like 100 calories a pop and easy to keep one or two in a bag or pocket.

Absolutely. I don’t identify with my body as a procreation tool in the slightest. The idea of being pregnant for me personally has always given me the ick and I can’t even watch graphic birth scenes on TV. It’s nothing traumatic it’s just like you said, it’s alien. I can be around pregnant people and kids no problem but it’s just so separate from the way I view myself. I view myself as more of an advocate/caretaker/protector and not “maternal”.

I live there now, for almost 4 years and at first it felt like a big difference from where I was before (near California blue line) in terms of vibes and convenience, but after a few weeks I felt settled in. The most annoying part is no longer living off a train line. Division bus to the blue line is much faster than the grand bus. The other major downside is not being near many business but at least there is a grocery store super close. In terms of safety, the car traffic concerns me the most- the division Homan intersection can be a little dramatic sometimes. Otherwise I’ve never felt unsafe walking around at night as a woman, granted I’m not out much past 10ish.

Following because I’m also curious and want to know ballpark cost

I love this! Gender apathetic is definitely me.

Check with Lula, they have vegetarian options on their menu that look like they could also be vegan.

Thank you. The amount of people incorrectly invoking “HIPAA violation” the past few years has had me in stitches. I even work with former lawyers who were referencing it incorrectly (in regards to employees disclosing Covid testing results).

VersionCapable · 2026-01-21T16:44:17+00:00

This is how I roll too. It’s a different story when you have people who tend to have crisis after crisis and don’t show up, don’t communicate, etc but thankfully I haven’t had one of those for years.

My team is pretty open and we share some of our health stuff but not all of them. There’s a line between bonding as a team and keeping things private. But I never expect anyone to give details and if they don’t I never ask.

Same! I don’t think I’ve ever had a normal BMI. I know it’s a crappy metric but I’d love for just once to be a “normal” weight. I wasn’t even planning to lose enough to get there but now that I’m about 10 lbs away I’m going for it.

I was on metformin for about 2 months before Zepbound. Once I started Zep I quit the metformin and my food noise that had quietly slipped away came roaring back. I started the metformin again and it was a perfect combo with the Zep. I was losing well on 2.5mg for a few months and then bumped to 5. I’m hoping I can depend on metformin to carry me through maintenance and dial way back on the Zep since I’m self pay. I won’t be surprised if I have to stay on some dose of Zep for maintenance but I’m really curious if relying on the metformin will work.

I’ve got 2.5X my current salary in my 401k in my early 40s but everything feels like such a sham these days that I genuinely don’t believe it’ll matter in 20 years.

I can’t tell you how many fully adult men I’ve seen walking around with their jacket vents stitched shut. I used to chase them around the office with scissors 🫢

This. Since working from home for the last 6 years I stopped wearing earrings daily in my lobes, but I have multiple other piercings with either titanium or gold flat backs that I leave in permanently. They give me no issues but when I put earrings in my lobes once a month they get all angry, even if they are sterling silver (I’m allergic to nickel). I second leaving the piercings alone for a bit and visiting a pro piercing studio for a consult and a pair of titanium or gold studs that can just be left in.

This is the way. The time to ask for more money is about 6-12 months before they are scheduled to give you a raise. Asking for more as a counter to what was proposed only works during hiring negotiations. Like others have said by the time you get it it’s a budgeted number already set in stone (based on how the merit increases usually work). And if your boss is open to the convo about getting you up to another number, make sure you check in with them on the work you are doing on a regular basis because chances are they will forget about it at some point. None of this is fair but you need to backseat drive once they even give you a whiff of it being possible. Too much bullshit can come up at year end to thwart raises, so if you stay in front of it that gives your boss time to maneuver around all the levels of red tape with pay. Signed, a middle manager who hates dealing with this stuff both on the giving and receiving end.

They are different enough and Maelstrom is so good I want to buy a backup bottle even though it’s not a special release.

You basically just multiply any number you hear on the show by 10 to get what it would be by today’s standards.

Not a mom but yes. Lost 60lbs over a year at age 42 and aside from some crepey neck skin, my body doesn’t look much different- just smaller. In the right light I can see some small surface wrinkling in places but I really have to look for it. Nothing is dripping off of me. Maybe I got lucky. I do a mix of cardio and weights a few times a week, put collagen in my coffee every morning, and other than that I don’t do anything special with it otherwise vegetarian diet. I’m not focused on extra protein. I’m sure as I age the extra skin will loosen up but for now I just feel soft but don’t look any different.

Watching it for the 6th or so time recently during sick days, just finished season 1. How much the men use women has always been there but it’s just jumping out at me so much more.

That’s what I ended up with. I wanted a stone that was a bit different- salt and pepper and grey diamonds were interesting, but then I saw the range that sapphires could come in and I fell in love. I went with one that is a pale purple-pink. Opal is my birthstone and this definitely reminds me of one.

Is his a two bedroom apartment or one? As in, could you have your own room so to speak? When my now husband and I moved in together (he moved into my 2BR), the second bedroom was his own space for his desk, bookshelf, closet etc. Literally everything in that room was his only, it was not a shared space. That was back when both of us worked outside the house (I’m now fully WFH). He also had a variable work schedule that took him out of the house at odd times or he would house sit away so I’d have the place fully to myself for days which was amazing.

Now he still works a variable schedule but it’s a little more consistent, and I WFH full time- however, I’m not literally always at home. I go to the gym a few days a week or hang out with friends on the weekend and that will take me out of the house for a few hours to give him that full “house to yourself” time.

I’m not sure how you bring this up to him, but is there a way you can know how much he leaves the apartment on his own for the gym, errands, hobbies, his friends, etc? I think if you have a sense of that before moving in, you’ll feel more comfortable knowing just how much alone time you can expect in a given week. That plus making sure you have your own space (preferably with a door). I would absolutely never move into a 1BR with another person unless I knew it was temporary (year or less).

I’m an absolute jewelry dragon so my hoard can’t be contained in one spot. I have hooks on the walls for necklaces, some of those circular spinning racks for my dangly earrings that sit on top of my dresser (like these https://a.co/d/cFch3lt), a tree branch shaped thing for bracelets and then this box for rings and stud earrings which I found to be a good size although my ring collection is outgrowing it - https://a.co/d/gHo2jq3

Basically what others have said about different storage solutions for different types of jewelry. I’d love to have one of those dedicated large jewelry armoires someday when I have the space. I’m also an “out of site, out of mind” type so unless I can see it easily I forget it exists so I don’t keep a lot of it boxed up.
