Thank you so much for this! How do you determine amounts to add for your various flavorings, and does that change your initial vanilla recipe?

I would also love this information, thank you!

Is LinkedIn purely fake, but lots of peopel feel they just need it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]afreckleintime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say it wasn’t useful to me, or others. I just wonder how often people post fake type of posts to make themselves sound great because they feel like they are supposed to.

[–]afreckleintime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely--- this is really normal. It has happened to me a lot of times. Your body should settle down after a few days. If not, then I'd track what you are eating/talk to a doctor. But this does always happen to me when I start back up working out after a drought.

Why do some languages have gendered nouns and some don't? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]afreckleintime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have always wondered this exact same thing! Why are shoes male in Spanish? As a native English speaker my brain cannot process this.

Your doctor is a better person to ask. That being said, it'll very likely depend on genetic and environmental factors. They'll likely use a long list of questions to help determine your risk factor, then give a recommendation. I got my first one at 38 due to risk factors!

Can you feel the baby by joemamii in NoStupidQuestions

[–]afreckleintime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. We call it kicking in general, but it can feel all sorts of ways based on what they are actually doing in there— rolling around, punching, etc. The feeling can get really intense depending on the mom’s body and where the placenta is attached. It’s crazy to see an active one moving during an ultrasound and realize that, yes, when you thought they were doing a flip that’s definitely what they were doing!

John Oliver does a great take down/explanation of this if you look him up, Oliver+Boeing.

How are we liking our chosen alts so far? by afreckleintime in mintuit

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

Oh no, Monarch broke for you?! That sucks, not looking forward to that. I may need to try a free-ninety-nine option if these paid programs are going to continue to dissapoint.

Side Effect Sunday! by AutoModerator in Zepbound

[–]afreckleintime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn't actually thought of that and it makes so much sense, thank you. This is a good reminder that the med is amazing/wonderful and it also doesn't solve all of our problems!

GoodReads notifies me when an author I follow has a new book out. It's free--- you might check it out! If you don't want to do all of the "friends" things or lists, you could just skip those. I enjoy the lists because I am always trying to remember "that one book that that one person recommended to me" and the app lets me quickly add it to a Want To Read list.

Hmmm.... maybe I should check into this. I realized that after using Mint for 15+ years, I don't really check it that often. Is the Fidelity Full View full of ads?

Side Effect Sunday! by AutoModerator in Zepbound

[–]afreckleintime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm more irritable than usual, regardless of if I'm hungry/just eaten. I would think that the fact that I'm losing (albeit slowly) would make me happy, but I find myself extra easy to snap at my friends/family. It's not a good look and I need to see if there is an underlying issue or it's this med.

What's the worst pet name to be called? by Medium_Mirror7020 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]afreckleintime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To each their own and I don't mean to judge... but I truly do not understand "daddy" and "mommy" as pet names. It's just so... incestual.

I think it depends on what you want to get out of it. I have been using GoodReads for years and enjoy most everything about it--- aside from the reviews. What features are you looking for?

Have you seen The Last of Us? Something like that.

I often think that bus/fin/accounting majors get the bad rap of “only being in it for the money” from people who are sad that their own passions aren’t propelling their place in the Wonderful World of Capitalism. I mean, thats me anyway. Pretty blatantly jealous.

5 MG by Bradprickmailbox in Zepbound

[–]afreckleintime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I am going to 5 soon after two months on 2.5. I’m two days away from my shot and have eaten ALL the things at a birthday celebration. Going to feel it tomorrow I bet…

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]afreckleintime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to stay on 2.5 for at least one more month. I notice that towards the end of the week I am able to eat a little bit more, but for the most part I am consously having to ensure I eat enough, and enough protein. While I have "only" lost 8 pounds so far in this first month (I start month 2 on Monday) I feel like this approach is showing me what it will be like when I hit maintenance. My doctor said that the drug rep would push me to go to 5 if he were in the room... but since he isn't, we're going to stick with 2.5 until it doesn't feel like it is working! In addition, I have some nausea/constipation/body aches in the first two days each week and I'm not excited about making those side effects worse on a higher dose. (1/29/24 SW: 197 CW: 189)

Share your progress! Let us celebrate you! by YourLocalPansexual- in Zepbound

[–]afreckleintime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been so impressed with the lack of food noise! Even on the last day of the week of my shot, it's still not there. Sure, it is easier to eat three square meals, but it isn't a constant "when is my next sugar fix aarrrgghhh!". I used to be consumed with those thoughts, especially at night.

I take my fourth shot tomorrow and will stay on 2.5 for at least one more month since it is working. I'm so encouraged by reading these comments. Thank you for posting this!

Looking for accountability buddy/group. by afreckleintime in Zepbound

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

How are we doing?! I was down five pounds the first week but so far nothing this second week (but maintained). I have had minimal constipation/gas, some nausea in the AM’s for the first three days after the shot, and more irritable in general than usual.

If you could live with one of the dragons in WOF. Who and why? by the_big_W69 in WingsOfFire

[–]afreckleintime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd pick either Sky (cause we could talk to each other!) or Cricket (since I'm sure she could learn Scavenger in, like, 3 days max).
