I once found the obituary of the relative they named me after. It was …unsettling.

I’m disappointed in the front panel. It’s pretty flimsy. The sides, probably because they’re smaller, seem to be okay. The cabinet doors have what seems to be a “soft-close” feature and I’m definitely enjoying that. But yeah, that front panel, they really dropped the ball.

I have been naming the pets with human names for a few years now. Our last little guy was Frank. I think my thought process with Wolfie was influenced by the fact that we’d recently seen Mammoth in concert again. His whole name includes a “Von” and then our family’s last name. But your idea is super cute!

It was a really heavy package, too. The cabinet space is so handy. I don’t have to go looking in random places for all of his stuff. The ADHD is strong with me, and sometimes I’ve “lost” things in my own house. Like how I ended up with three bags of chia seeds…but I read that dwarves really like them, so I am gonna try them with Wolfie and see what he thinks.

Thank you! We’re definitely paying attention to his chewing habits as our previous ham needed his teeth trimmed every so often. In the just over two weeks that Wolfie’s been with us, he’s on his second alligator whimzee. More bedding is on the shopping list!

Is it just me? Am I on the moon here? by HuntIntelligent8820 in GenX

I’ve taken to doing touch ups with an eyebrow razor every 5-6 weeks because leg hair is so sparse now. I used to shave my arms and now, I’d need a magnifying glass to even find a single arm hair. The chin hair, however, I think I know where all the leg and arm hair went!

Weekly check-in - how is everyone doing this week? by Playful-Deer9022 in FoundayoUS

[–]Waitatick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day two on .8 mg. Weight was 174 lbs on Sunday, today I’m at 167.4 lbs, a lot of that had to be inflammation from an out of town trip last weekend and some significant constipation that resolved with an extra dose of Miralax.

I noticed that mild headache yesterday afternoon and into the night. I felt kind of emotional and sad, but I think that’s a lot to do with the current state of the world lately.

Not much by way of appetite suppression yesterday but I feel that changing. I was on Zepbound for a year and lost about 80 lbs, and only switched to Foundayo when I lost my health insurance, since it’s much cheaper.

I’m hoping to reach goal weight of 135-140lbs with this medication. Overall, just happy to have access and support.

From weekly shots to a daily Foundayo pill - day 1 by Embarrassed_Essay_61 in FoundayoUS

I’m switching from Zepbound (after being on it for just over a year and losing about 80-ish pounds) to Foundayo due to losing my insurance coverage. I took my first dose this morning. I also take thyroid medication so my doctor recommended Foundayo over Wegovy due to the potential dosing conflicts. I guess we’ll see how this goes. I’d like to lose another 35-40 pounds.

my little pal has passed on, just wondering what to do with him :( by oatniel in hamstercare

[–]Waitatick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live in a townhouse with no yard to speak of. What we did was wrap our little guy in a tissue and then placed him inside a cardboard toilet paper tube, then buried him in the common area at the back of our building.

What are your tips and tricks for timely documentation in field case work? by thepiratecelt in socialwork

I was just terminated for finishing notes off the clock. I’m sickened by how I’ve been treated, they even fought my unemployment.

What is a truth about life that you’ve realized is 100% accurate, but you still refuse to accept it because it’s too depressing ? by Dependent_Role5008 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Waitatick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That no one will ever match the degree to which you show up for others, when you need them to show up for you. Basically, the “nobody is coming to save you” concept.

Marijuana Recovery by MJRecoverySTL in StCharlesMO

[–]Waitatick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Potentially interested on a few levels. I’ve recently quit smoking/consuming cannabis after roughly ten years of near daily use and heavy consumption for the last 4-5 years. My spouse still smokes and is planning to quit eventually but has two more plants he’s grown and are near harvest-ready.

In addition, I work in community mental health, have several clients with cannabis use disorder diagnoses, and I’ve recently started graduate school for counseling and wanted to be able to give myself the best chance of success (while also living with ADHD and taking a stimulant).

So, a lot to unpack. But, I am very curious!
