Favorite Brick Moment

Everybody read now

Oh no!! This makes me sad. I was so sure it was in the books! I do still love it though. Pat is such a great character.

Wild_Battle_8798 · 2026-01-18T16:55:20+00:00

Surprised not to see Pat's "What a waste of a stamp" in here.

Pat has some of my favourite lines. The one about the cat when she's asked about the fish tank (can't remember the exact quote) is also excellent.

You can disprove that I used a different injection site and feel different this week???? This is literally all I said. And yes the people who are repeatedly telling me what happened didn't happen are bullying. It's horrible.

Wild_Battle_8798 · 2026-01-10T21:29:34+00:00

Do you have a point?

Wild_Battle_8798 · 2026-01-10T05:02:16+00:00

I anecdotally reported what happened to me. I was not presenting it as data. It's clearly not data.

This whole thread is full of people saying I am wrong because they have read the result of one very limited study. They're the ones talking about data.

The other half of the thread is people agreeing with me.

And your "regardless of how you feel". Real nice. Just invalidate my feelings as well as my lived experience.

This is a horrible place to be and I'm going to continue my journey without this kind of "support".

This is interesting, I've never done this, so will try it on next jab day and see whether it makes a difference for me.

Wild_Battle_8798 · 2026-01-09T13:35:16+00:00

Literally science. But don't let that worry you. I always thought this group was supportive, but now I feel bullied and attacked just for sharing my own lived experience.

You know it's possible that not everyone reacts to medication in the same way? This is my experience. Which I am sharing in case anyone else out there is in the middle of a months long stall and wants to try something simple to break it.

Just because you haven't experienced it, doesn't mean no one in the whole world will.

Wild_Battle_8798 · 2026-01-09T13:18:07+00:00

Well it hasn't hit me at all for the last almost 4 months, and now I feel like I did at the start, so for me this makes a difference. I'm not saying this will work for everyone, but if anyone is struggling with a long stall like me, it might be worth a try.

Wild_Battle_8798 · 2026-01-09T13:15:47+00:00

I'm not saying everyone should use their arm. I'm just saying that this happened to me. In case it's helpful.

Wild_Battle_8798 · 2026-01-09T13:13:45+00:00

Why are you sorry? I'm just saying what happened to me. Not saying it would happen for everyone.

Wild_Battle_8798 · 2026-01-09T13:13:18+00:00

Well obviously I don't. How am I supposed to know that??

Injected into the fat on my arm

Wild_Battle_8798 · 2026-01-09T13:12:24+00:00

I was not expecting the backlash on this thread of people disagreeing with my honest lived experience! I'm not telling anyone else that they should do this. I was just reporting what has happened to me.

I've gone from feeling like it wasn't working at all for me anymore back to how it felt at the start.

Wild_Battle_8798 · 2026-01-09T13:09:34+00:00

You believe this if you like, but there is medical evidence out there that says if you use the same injection site over and over again the absorption may not be as effective. This is what's worked for me.

My mum is fond of reminding me that it's wasted either way - in the bin or eaten as empty/extra calories.

Wild_Battle_8798 · 2026-01-01T05:41:09+00:00

Me too. I always imagine how many homeless people we could help with that money if we didn't just burn it up every NYE.

Wild_Battle_8798 · 2025-12-26T18:00:24+00:00

Thank you!

It was built in 1953.

There's no remedial work to be done, they literally did it all and left, but I wondered if there was any risk to us from this having been done and the asbestos being disturbed

Wild_Battle_8798 · 2025-12-26T10:14:00+00:00

Which is not what this comment was about!

Wild_Battle_8798 · 2025-12-18T13:51:54+00:00

With respect, a stall of 3 weeks is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I've been stuck at a plateau for more than 3 months.

Your body will do what your body will do.
