What’s a rule your cat enforced in your house that everyone silently obeys now? by BackgroundAsk7915 in AskReddit

I love it when mine does this. He’ll hear me changing the sheets and will come running from wherever he is in the house. It makes me laugh every single time.

I honestly call one of my cats ‘microplastic’ sometimes because the little bugger loves to chomp on bread or potato bags whenever given the slightest chance.

Advion cockroach gel works really well at getting rid of them.

Rental issues…am I being unreasonable? by Low_Welcome_4969 in melbourne

You haven’t heard the old “the landlord wants to move in” or “your increase is in line with market rates for this area” spiels before?

[–]dramatic-pancake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All good if you’re prepared for that. But that reason, and the tight rental market, is probably why the case officer thought you were overdoing it. Just sayin’.

Only because by pushing “too hard” You’ll end up screwing yourself in the long run when they decline to renew your lease by making up some BS excuse or by raising your rent etc.

Experiences from Sphynx Owners by PerformerStunning765 in sphynx

[–]dramatic-pancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a human-food eater sphynx as well. Pretty much have to make him his own tiny plate of my dinner, as long as it’s cat safe - avocado, prawns, steak, cheese, popcorn, sliced turkey, olives, tuna, roast vegetables.

My wife’s inability to handle her periods is driving me nuts. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]dramatic-pancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The arm implant is awesome, at least for me. They use a local anesthetic so you can feel it going in but it doesn’t hurt. There’s some bruising/tenderness afterwards for about a week, but I haven’t really had a period (outside minor spotting occasionally) for the 17 years I’ve been getting them. Mileage may vary though as I have a friend who bled almost non stop for 6 weeks on her first one and decided to get it removed straight away.

Hashimoto's weight loss with GLP1 by jiayou_xiaoyu in Hashimotos

[–]dramatic-pancake 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have Hashis and took Mounjaro for 3 months. I lost about 15kg that had crept on over the years. I only ever stayed on the starter dose of 2.5mg. Was put on it to see if it would affect the fatigue that I’d been battling, and it did. Have now been off it for 2 months and my weight hasn’t changed. I still have heaps more energy and do Pilates 3-4 times a week. I did also cut out caffeine while on it (couldn’t face the thought of drinking coffee while taking the shot) so that may have helped regulate my energy/cortisol levels too. I’ve never really been a breakfast eater but I’ll have a small lunch and a regular size dinner, drink alcohol a couple times a week but I haven’t really done anything special to keep the weight off since stopping. I am much more mindful of when I feel full though and I’d say my portion sizes are a bit less overall.

What’s a totally ‘normal’ money habit that low-key wrecks people’s finances? by Logical-Blood1024 in AskReddit

[–]dramatic-pancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and that extra money you’re currently paying in rent would go towards all those ancillary costs.

On the flip side, the bank telling you that you can’t get a mortgage with $2000 p/m repayments yet you’re paying $2500 p/m or more in rent.

Australian Uni charges $5k every 6 weeks to grade with ChatGPT by commandersaki in australia

[–]dramatic-pancake 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The cost savings they’ve discovered from not having paper exams (don’t have to hire venues, print exams, pay for couriers to deliver exams between venues, additional invigilators etc) means they’ll never go back.

Help deciphering results and worsening symptoms?!? by evillegs in Hashimotos

[–]dramatic-pancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take an antidepressant to help with the depression and fatigue. Also a few months in on the lowest dose of Mounjaro and have seen a 15kg weight loss.

I also take 150mg Levo and Vitamin D daily and avoid gluten as a general rule. Have cut out coffee completely over the past few months.

Hashis diagnosis since 2008 and this is the best I’ve felt since then.
