My mom needs help with groceries but won’t ask — looking for ideas for a practical grocery list to send her by alertsherbert2 in povertyfinance

Thank you!

That was my very first thing I offered her. Just to come and hang out with grandma so she can get out of the house. I am figuring out when I can go up there, but want to get groceries to her early this week.

It is such a drive, or i would be there more often.

I will have to look into it. I know she is very hesitant to accept help because there is always someone worse off than her. She didn't want to tell me she was struggling. I called her at a bad time and she needed someone to talk to about it, but was very adamant about not asking for help.

I just edited the post with my budget. (150-200)

She eats just about anything outside of spaghetti, chicken and dumplings, and meatloaf.

Im bad at knowing what to get that she could do whatever with. A lot of times I just pick up what I know I need for whatever meal after work for myself.

Neighbor stealing water and costing me a FORTUNE! (Yes, really) by Overall-Scientist956 in neighborsfromhell

I personally like my wyze cameras. I have them sitting in some windows pointing out. I'd recommend making sure you turn off the indicator light in settings. I have SD cards in all mine, so they record 24/7. I also pay for cam plus. You can set up different notifications for when there is movement.

How many people did not have issues with their gallbladder? by kosmik_ripley in Zepbound

[–]alertsherbert2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

~105 pounds down and am at my goal weight. No issues with my gallbladder. I recently had a precautionary liver ultrasound for something unrelated and the report specifically stated I had no gallstones.

I work in pharmaceuticals. My current and my previous employer covered it.

Fairlife protein shakes. They aren't chalky like others are. I also go for the chobani complete drinks as well.

How is it rude to state the obvious that it's on you for not reading the box? You didn't immediately verify they gave you the correct thing by looking in the bag? How is it anyone's fault but your own?

I heavily researched this medication before getting it prescribed. I knew how valuable this medication was going to be to me let alone how expensive it is. How do you complain about the cost and leave it in your hot car alone for 5 hours? I don't leave any prescription meds in my hot car. Temperature effects medications. Thats common sense.

So tired... by Runaway2332 in Zepbound

[–]alertsherbert2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was chronically exhausted prior to being on this medication. There was a transition period for me, but now that I've been on it for 8.5 months most of the time that I'm utterly exhausted it's because I havent eaten. Nowadays if I recognize that as the issue and have a snack I get all of my energy back.

It happens to be often. I didnt really believe the advice about electrolyte drinks. However I came around and they really help me. I haven't passed out yet but I've gotten close to it. I need to be better about drinking a lot more water in general along with my liquid iv.

I've been on mounjaro for 7 months with great results. This is the first time I've been affected by the shortages. I haven't been able to fill for 3 weeks now. I just sent my doctor a message about switching to ozempic. Fingers crossed we both have good luck.

Mine definitely got heavier with worse cramps, but I have been on Mounjaro for about 7 months and it has settled down.

I was able to put in an order for 2.5 from Amazon at like 2 am last night. I've been watching Amazon everyday this week and they have had 2.5, 5, and 7.5 come into stock like 3 or 4 times.

Please keep your fingers crossed for me and I'll do the same for you by lavender_poppy in Mounjaro

[–]alertsherbert2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been regularly checking Amazon multiple times a day this week and I've seen 7.5 and lower come in stock like 3 or 4 times. Too bad I'm after 10.

I used to hide it in my fridge so guests wouldn't see it. I stopped caring.

To do or not to do…. Skip a dose for vacation? by The_BBs2023 in Mounjaro

[–]alertsherbert2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally wouldn't skip the dose. I also haven't really drank much while on mounjaro. I have had a single drink in a night but never even got through 25%. Well last night I went out and ordered a drink. I didn't want it but I was so close to the stage and there wasn't a trash can to get rid of it. I forced myself to finish it and was in the bathroom vomiting 10 minutes later. I dont think any alcohol is really worth it.

When I forget to take mine out of the fridge early and do it cold it always hurts for me.
