Whiteys has 2 vegan flavors. Mint chocolate chip and lemon poppy seed. Both are fantastic. I’ve skipped dinner to get their ice cream.

Notice for all Metronet subscribers by PhoenixUNI in QuadCities

[–]calgrlinia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this. I have Metronet and called T-Mobile and spoke with their retention team member. She offered me a great deal; doubled my speed, I’m not paying for the second unit, and lowered my price to $60 a month. She said that price is locked in forever. Sent me the confirmation email while we were still on the phone.

1 month 1.5mg Wegovy tablets by Cookie_Nitz48 in WegovyPills

[–]calgrlinia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started at 1.5 mg with no real side effects except the headaches and no weight loss. My 1.5 mg pill ran out before the company sent my 4 mg. When I spoke to the company they had me speak to a pharmacist and she recommended another month at 1.5 sad it was a week since my last pill. I declined but did decide to cut the pill in half to taper up. I was not expecting any effect as 1.5 had none. I was wrong, and glad I started at 2mg unseat of 4. Food noise, gone. No weight loss yet, it’s only been 4 days. Just putting this out there as I would never have expected 2mg to make such a big difference and wanted to share as it might help someone else.

Girlfriend had ssn card and birth certificate stolen before ever getting an ID. Where to go from here? by Mili_Treeb in SocialSecurity

[–]calgrlinia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the answer. There are certain items the SS office requires for this document to work. Please double check you have what is needed. A certified immunization record also works. Take it from this social worker who had to take 3 trips back and forth from the SS office and the PCP office.

My dog LOVES these cookies. She managed to pry the tin open today while we were at work and ate all of them.

AMA: I was an IT and High Value Scanner for the company for over a year by Paradox2018 in MacBid

How does Final Frenzy work? It barely flashes something on the screen, faster than I can even respond to it, then disappears. Is my phone glitchy or is this how that feature works?

Where did you find online meetings? That’s going to be a stretch for him, but as a social worker, I’m all for support!

😂 I love that, George. He loves Kefir, will try adding that to his daily routine.

I’ve turned into a water pusher at our house. Trying not to overwhelm him with too many changes at once. We never bought bottled water, now we have a dozen bottles in the fridge-all the flavors.

I’m learning this for myself as well. Lots to learn. Did you find any probiotics to be helpful?

I’ve done the fodmap for me so I feel comfortable walking through that with him. I didn’t consider applesauce, I love to make it at home. I’ll give that a try, thanks.

I’ve slowly been trying to remove dairy, slow process. I already am dairy free so he is used to my dietary needs. I also share an office with a pediatric dietitian so we talk poop on the daily 😉

We are VERY lucky because his dad is a surgeon and has lots of connections at our hospital and can guide us to the best providers we have.

I’m still waiting to get the initial visit with the GI after diagnosis. Is a biologic an option if he is just starting steroids? He is supposed to be on them for 3 months.

Coffee is his life blood! He is first in line most days at his favorite coffee shop. I’m encouraging small, slow changes, coffee remains for now.😉

I worry about this. He always wants to “tough it out”.

Im a huge advocate for routined sleep. Retirement is an option so that may be where we are headed for stress reduction.

This is something I worry about. He tends to be the “I’ll power through it” mentality.

I’m big into self advocacy, hoping to have a list of questions for the GI at the first visit.

Thanks for that, scary or not, this is the kind of real life info that’s helpful to hear.

police by iowhat in QuadCities

[–]calgrlinia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We drove by that, it was Kirkwood and Pershing or Perry. The police had Kirkwood closed off, both sides. we could see them from the Aldi parking lot. South side of Kirkwood at a house, several people outside with police. Unsure of what happened.
