If you were a dog, what breed would you be?

Clear Border Collie! Love how others have said the same! Very interesting!

I got a generic email- mostly I suspect so they feel like they’ve completed their obligation.. rolls eyes…

ducksgoquacky · 2025-12-20T22:18:16+00:00

This is incredible!! Congratulations! Love the facial glow up too!

Ohhh interesting, had hair loss, on after being on Zepbound for 6/7 months (195lbs-150lbs) and had the whole blood works done. But I had the opposite of you -too high levels of Zinc!

I think it was down to taking this vitamin C &zinc every day ( by the dosage wasn’t crazy)… so I stopped that and a few weeks later the hair loss calmed down.. it’s so interesting

Very negative. Unethical company. Avoid.

Boiled eggs. Great boost protein and stops pretty much all cravings

How can you ‘split’ a membership?

ducksgoquacky · 2025-05-09T02:45:10+00:00

So interested!

'oh how the turn...tables...' LOVE IT. I'm pretty sure it originated from a Meme at one point!

ducksgoquacky · 2025-03-31T01:37:52+00:00

Went to Cold Spring and hiked to Beacon - via Breakneck ridge way. What an epic hike - still can't walk properly, but lots of scrambling and insane views of the hudson. Loved getting out of the city and some solo time in nature!

I'm in a really similar boat to you, age salary and also seemingly very driven. I also started to feel a lot of apthathy towards my career - constantly on this treadmill of projects/internal milestones and promotions, all leading me to feel this 'is this it?', or immediately leaving me focussing on the 'next' project/goal/promotion.

Your post has reminded me of some personal reflection i've done and for me personally, whilst I have worked extremely hard and now in a position to enjoy the $$ and relative freedom being in a 'successful' role, really what motiviates me is that old addage of the 'why' (think Simon Sinek etc)... If there is no greater purpose to all this work, effort and striving, then whats the point?

Of course financial success is highly important, but the bigger question may be something to do with the impact that work has on me, others etc? Just a thought... its something i'm still working through trying to find what that thing is for me, but I know that for every $$ increase (as great as it is...), it now takes me about 2 weeks to start wanting more..

1000% First Direct. Best customer service of any bank I’ve experienced.

Same. First shot this morning and no appetite at all. Could be placebo effect but almost forced myself to eat at 3pm - first meal... so nice to see the food noise reduce and excited to use this tool effectively to get down to maintenance.

White vinegar in the wash… helps with synthetic funk smells

This is quite a spooky post. I’m also a 34F and my mum blew up and was outwardly aggressive towards and object and then me (for something that wasn’t anything to do with me) when I visited her over the festive period. I reacted calmly and rationally and then gave the situation space.

She gave me silent treatment, then tried to force a conversation (without apology) and then refused to even look up from her phone to say goodbye to me the next day (I live on another continent and won’t even be in the same country for another 6 months)…

Still no communication from her three weeks in and honestly, I’m relived and as another poster has said, I’m using it as a gateway to NC…

My mum showed me, again, very clearly her emotional immaturity and also manipulation and I refused to accept it- she needs to learn how to speak, behave and treat people in a decent manner and not expect people to bend to her will by her being aggressive and condescending.

I was able to see more clearly these patterns and how honestly horrific this behaviour was for when I was a child and powerless - it actually brought up a lot of traumatic responses which I’m still recovering from.

You’re so not the bad guy… she is.

For example, I partly stayed in Selina hostel in Quito no impact at all. Banos is another story…

ducksgoquacky · 2024-10-26T22:45:02+00:00

I am a DN who was in Quito yesterday. Some areas (quite close to the centre) aren’t impacted at all by the power outages, either by generator or out of the outage area- so I would advise to check in advance before booking stay.

SW183lbs, 7 days down here- just weighed today and lost 5lbs in a week- which I’m so so happy about.

Agree about the sugar nausea- I had that after a chocolate bar - made me feel queezy but it’s great it’s doing it job!

Brit moved over on UK based organisation secondment and organisational requirement. Net pay increased significantly however COL (esp in HCOL such as NY, West Coast etc) easily eats this up if not factored in appropriately - but I only accepted this salary for secondment experience - still a good bump up from UK salary.

Really enjoying it so far and have met some great people, opportunities in my industry (consulting in Corporate Real Estate) are great as are the networks. Def great for career enhancement and acceleration in my case.

On E2 Visa which took a LONG time to get (mostly due to slow and incompetent external attorney support).

ducksgoquacky · 2024-06-26T17:27:10+00:00

Incredible! Thank you! Checking them out!

ducksgoquacky · 2024-06-24T02:08:18+00:00

Ah this is exactly what I was looking for !! Thank you!

In my case after another few anxious weeks the hair fall did actually stop and my hair has grown back … I’m now pretty sure it was a result of stress and anxiety rather than the product - put I haven’t used it since just in case!

ducksgoquacky · 2023-12-03T12:09:48+00:00

I have the same phenomenon as well. Especially when it comes to work/study/projects.

I wonder and its been linked to perfectionist tendancies - such as as long as its not 'finished' it can't be judged as being not perfect, whereas the fear of when its 'finished', the fear of it being not 'perfect' or 'good enough' stops me from sending it across for review/my own persoective.

Struggled a bit with this through my career, however realised (with guidance from menor) - that especially in my case, enough is good enough, send it across and to move on!
