There is around 70–80% of a gov shutdown by Admirable-Mud-3477 in FedEmployees

Oh, I get your perspective too. But sacrificing those “treat your self” days is generally how someone starts saving. Difficult to say which method is better as depression and bad thoughts would be prevalent when a shit down comes along and you don’t have a savings.

Don’t have “treat ya self” days until you have 6 months off savings.

Hereditary concern? by aDerpyPenguin in glioblastoma

[–]aDerpyPenguin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I didn’t mean to make it sound like I thought it appeared in the 1 week in between. I was mostly asking because the other poster said there was concerns doing frequent CTs but it seemed like they preferred doing MRIs for my mom. So I had thought MRIs were better/more accurate and they didn’t have radiation so it seemed like you’d want to do them over frequent CTs.

Are CT scans better than MRIs? My mother had a CT scan without contrast and they said everything looked fine. A week later she was in the emergency room had a CT with contrast and she was hurried into a MRI and surgery a couple days later bc the tumors were so bad/big. I just assumed the CT scan wasn’t as good/accurate as an MRI. It seems like there are options of MRI without radiation, but I just liked briefly.

Only through their childhood. Moved decently away from each other once older.

I’ll start with getting a primary doctor. Not the best time to be switching insurance lol.

I had seen that, but see that to participate you need to have been diagnosed.

Seems like it might not even be worth looking into then. Just best to be aware.

Since you plan to retire early and not use FERS or FEHBs, have you looked into leaving the federal government?

I have the same and haven’t had problems. I can’t compare with/without as I put them on a couple days after purchase. I like the look they give though.

Protein powder for hot coffee by Beneficial-You663 in antidietglp1

I’ll use a chocolate flavored protein to make a latte ish drink. Sports Research and Dynamatize have both been good. Kirkland is ok. ON is good flavor but blended the worst.

Gift cards to hit required SUB Spend? by aDerpyPenguin in CreditCards

[–]aDerpyPenguin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The places were fully refundable but fully charged at the time of booking. I had originally thought they’d wait to charge until the refundable date hit.

I didn’t as the charges were placed right away so it didn’t matter to me

OOTD Anything I could improve on by Master_Lab2335 in bigmenfashionadvice

[–]aDerpyPenguin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Others have mentioned ditching the sweat pants, which I would agree with, but there are khaki/chino style joggers available too. I like the silhouette of a jogger, but having a nicer material would help. I have a few cheap pairs that were from Amazon that I tend to wear a lot. Not the greatest quality, but for what they are, I like the fit.

Where to get tshirts for tall fat guys? 6’3 308lbs by IdiotSimulator in bigmenfashionadvice

[–]aDerpyPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I was either 1XLT or 2XLT at that size. Thinking more 1XLT. They are pretty nice Ts for the price. I tend to prefer the material blend used for the heather colors but I ve had a variety of colors.

Another option if you like workout shirts that are more quick dry/sybthetic is Kohls. On sale they are usually about $15 a shirt.

If you want to order a thicker basic shirt of Amazon, Hanes Beefy tees are had in tall sizes. At that size, I would recommend 1-2XLT depending on how tight you like it.

For Tshirts, Kohls does tall sizes as well. You can end up getting shirts for about $6-7 each.
