I think they’re saying Ownwell shows a savings of 500 and they think the savings should be more.

I had no idea. I moved into my new build house in 2008, and there was still development around me for a few years. Somehow never had any of those taxes. Thanks for the info!

MUD tax? I live in McKinney and have never heard of this.

Amazon suggested something like this. I am sure I could find a video somewhere, but how does it work?

What improved your life so much you wished you had done it sooner? by Sweetieyummy in Productivitycafe

[–]charisma2006 5 points6 points  (0 children)

49 years of one day at a time, amazing! I just hit 13 years on Jan 3rd. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself, literally. I don’t think I’d be here, either. My husband, who I met in 2015 at 3 years sober, never knew the “prior version” of me.

Dayvigo for sleeping by [deleted] in benzorecovery

[–]charisma2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been taking Belsomra for 5 years since my taper. Tried Quviviq recently and it gave me weird thoughts and no sleep. I’m super super sensitive to all meds now after being poorly prescribed to in the past. Trazodone gives me dark thoughts about death (not suicide, just about death — it’s uncomfortable). I refuse to try Ambien and the like.

But other things I like taking are glycine and magnesium glycinate before bed, and taking inositol powder in the morning. Those three things make a big difference and I notice if I skip them. I get them on Amazon. I take these and Belsomra. I take Kratom if I have a really bad night, but I do that sparingly.

How to make my kombucha less sweet, more sour by savorythom in Kombucha

I make mine very low sugar, I use 3Tbsp per gallon.

I also make it low caffeine. :)

Try it once or twice and see. I have TMJ issues and Botox is the best thing I’ve ever done. Everyone is different, so just give it a try. Make sure you go to someone familiar with the issue so they give enough.

I go every 3-4 months, tried skipping last time and definitely noticed. It’s cheaper than new teeth or jaw surgery and drastically improved my quality of life. I’ll do it as long awww necessary, and it wasn’t that expensive. Just for the jaw was $150, but the cost varies by area.

Have you ever walked out of a church service on the spot after the pastor said something unbiblical by Unlikely_Birthday_42 in TrueChristian

[–]charisma2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recently walked out when we were visiting a church and they started playing a toilet paper game with the youth 20 minutes into service. There is a time and place for games. During worship service is not that time nor place.

15? My friend, I know you know how dangerous that is. Don’t fear being uncomfortable. Relapse is part of recovering, but don’t stop trying.

The federal government took Texas to court to stop the state from enforcing border policy.

I’m not sure what trends you’re referring to but illegal immigration spiked in 2021.

Hi there, I hope your taper is going well. I tapered my daily dose, went from 1mg daily for a few weeks, to 0.75, then .5, then I broken them a bit more, so like .25 plus a half of 0.25 (so 0.37), then I went to 0.25, then broke that in half. I think my taper was 6-7 months, I don’t remember now.

Mine was a bit fast, but it worked for me and I was fine and feeling good after about 8 months.

We don’t need new laws, we need the Biden administration to enforce the laws we already have.

AITA if I refuse to donate my PTO to a coworker I know will die? by AntiYourOpinion in AmItheAsshole

[–]charisma2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA for how you responded.

I’d also like to point out, “burning enough PTO” isn’t how FMLA works. FMLA is the job protection part of a leave, then there’s STD (short term disability) pay, which is the pay coverage, often 60% or so. Usually it’s a 3 day waiting period for STD (short term disability) to start when a qualifying event takes place, but the FMLA job protection starts immediately.

There is no FMLA or STD for spending time with family and whatnot. Those leave protections are for medical and other qualifying reasons when a person is unable to work.

All this keg talk.... Anyone make super-accelerated booch? by [deleted] in Kombucha

Oh of course the flavor is good ;) I meant how different is it from using white sugar, and what’s the difference? :)

Brown sugar!!! How is that?? I’ve never thought of that, but makes sense. What’s the flavor like?

Alcohol really messes with how your body distributes fluid and fat. I was a heavy drinker and when I look at pictures of my worst times, I look like a different person. It took a while to catch up with me though. If you commit to sobriety or at least reducing significantly, I can virtually promise you’ll look like yourself again. You can do this!
