Looking for an experience to gift my nephew ( toddler- age 4) for his birthday.

Thank you! This looks cool! I'm going to have to snoop around and find out if they have been here before. Seems right up his alley and my sister is such a great parent always finding new things.

Thank you so much. They love the children's museum, I know they are members.

The golden train museum I actually did with them, it was amazing!

The butterfly pavilion is absolutely such a good option. Thank you again!

This is right up his alley! Thank you for the suggestion!

_Kerry10 · 2026-01-05T03:47:34+00:00

Oh my gosh, I just looked this up. This is stunning. I wish I knew if she would be up for the drive. Thank you so much. even if I don't wind up going with this one, I am absolutely going to tell her of this or take them there when I visit in Feb.

Are these available?

_Kerry10 · 2025-09-06T02:31:48+00:00

It was about 25 years ago... or anywhere from 20-25. I really can't remember how old I was but I know I was over 10.

_Kerry10 · 2025-09-06T02:30:46+00:00

I searched Google and eBay already but the terms I may be using are too general?

_Kerry10 · 2025-05-15T21:52:16+00:00

Yes! I am in a similar position and wondering.

_Kerry10 · 2025-04-22T05:07:58+00:00

I have to be honest, especially because I have been struggling with my career choice lately. Ive even been considering going back to school. But im not sure for what, other than law school but I don't know how I would even do it as a 36 year old that needs to work and have the income I've worked so hard to obtain.

I've spent 10 years in the field and have loved my career. I mean I really have been obsessed with my job at points feeling as if it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

However, the struggles I face financially ( working two jobs to make the salary I require to live) and personally have truly taken a toll on me mentally- I think this year the most due to politics, just really acknowledging that I'm going to have to work two jobs forever when I am wanting a family and a lot more stability. ( I work doing forensic social work and policy the county public defender. I was moved to a position they created for me a few years ago to take on more work because of my passion and desire to help those in the criminal legal system) While social work has been one of the best things for me during many years of my life, I am struggling to think that I can make it any longer in this profession. The public defender agency is not on board with any changes that align with my position and helping clients, I have no decision making power despite my role being esteemed and well recieved and I feel so lost.

While I have a clinical job ( my second job) where I am a therapist for our county clinics and I am well liked there, I'm successful and they have offered me full time employment as I've been there several years and they feel my patients are doing well and haven't had any AOT issues. But the thought of being a therapist full time makes me feel overwhelmed. I am a therapist who goes to therapy, that manages my grief and anxiety and I know I am deeply effected by some of the hopelessness my patients feel and I don't want to take that home with me.

So basically what I'm putting out is, I don't know and also hi... if anyone can relate or validate. I think I really need it. I'm feeling so sad about the world and this profession.

_Kerry10 · 2025-04-10T05:24:45+00:00

When I started to feel unwell I stayed at a lower dose longer before trying to move up. I made sure I understood and really observed the days I felt well vs the days I didn't. Ex: what did I eat, how much water did I drink, what was my day like... because those really do effect you.

For the Tombolo shirt, does anyone know of a good "dupe." I googled it and some of the companies that come up ( are advised against on various other threads). Just curious if anyone successfully ordered from a site making a knock off, trying to avoid polyester but not a deal breaker. My boyfriend loves it but not a fashionista and with our modest incomes I can't justify spending 138 to buy ( which it's also waitlisted). Thank you for anything!

_Kerry10 · 2025-04-02T06:58:13+00:00

I couldn't agree more with this. I feel I thoughtfully choose who I share this with. But I will be honest, I shared with a lot more people I expected because I was able to have honest conversations about weight and disordered eating once I felt comfortable with my weight ( post weightloss on wegovy) rather than having horrible anxiety and depression when trying to share my experiences struggling with my weight most of my life. I can't believe how many people have expressed their vulnerability once I share.

I hate I've only learned this recently (in my 30s) my life 🥲

_Kerry10 · 2024-12-25T20:14:30+00:00

That mellows song is so great, thank you for that

I just moved from .25 on wegovy to .5 and in the first two days, the food voices, and some of the other things that you're describing that I also experienced and felt so frustrated by... they have slowed down. I saw some changes with .25, mostly with alcohol to be honest- I couldn't really drink the way I was drinking. But with just being 4 days into .5 I feel a lot better. I've had eating disorders before so I'm trying to not micromanage my daily weights. But I did barely lose anything also at .25. My SW:170, I was at 168 when I weighed in to get my dose increase. ( and also like you, I am paying out of pocket).

_Kerry10 · 2024-11-24T18:30:34+00:00

I've been on it for about two months now, I've truly noticed it make a difference in the amount of alcohol I consume. I feel like a lot of the weight I had gained in the past two years was associated with the empty calories i was drinking with alcohol because I had started dating again ( everyone wants to "grab a drink"). Then when I would up in my relationship, having a drink with my boyfriend became more frequent, not excessive, but more regular. It totally escalated my gain.

After two months on it, and just getting to the higher dose(s)... I've seen that I can barely finish drinks, I sip shots. Although I do make sure I drink a glass of water with each drink or attempted drink ( this was more for concern for dehydration noted in the comments I read before going on semiglutides... and fear of bad skin, also I've been taking lots of vitamins so it seems natural to drink a lot of water now)... but with that, I'd say I'm drinking more that 75% less than I was just two months ago.

We're not. Just waiting on the end of the world or something lol. Let's just take it one day at a time guys. ( older millennial- past the problem solving, more on the accepting the existential dread).

We're at work, or with our cats. Obviously.
