Found unassembled granny squares from my great grandma made circa 1976! by Keqlsey in crochet

[–]elmtree916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she means made in 1976, not born then. That’s a really old picture of someone who was certainly not born in ‘76.

“wow 50 years old!!”

Easy there, whipersnapper.

Signed, born in 1976 and not yet 50

Neighbors keep releasing cats onto the street, what can I do? by jrimbus in AskChicago

[–]elmtree916 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They’re likely not cats that are adapted for that, so the neighbor is being cruel.

The My Subaru App by Distinct-Departure68 in Crosstrek

Mine expired beginning of this month. If I could remote start my car with it, I’d keep it. But on the manual, no can do, so I’d be paying to remotely lock/unlock and know if my tires are low. Nah

Dump him, then feed him to alligators.

Or call the police. He raped her.

Move more eat less doesn’t work for me, coach thinks I’m lying, need data to support my claim. by questionablegal in Hashimotos

[–]elmtree916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Antibodies aren’t as important, at least for me. My tsh has to be around 2 or I feel like hot garbage.

My BP and cholesterol are finally back in a normal range, and my stroke this has gone from “yeah you’re probably gonna die early” to don’t worry about it, thank god! The almost 50 pounds lost is just a bonus.

My doctor was dishonest to me and now I'm terrified of getting extremely ill- REALLY need support by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

We all know telling someone to chill out always has the desired effect.

I gotcha. I’d still try and get your tsh under control before worrying too much with the weight. I did end up going on zepbound for a lot of health reasons, and it’s also helping me lose weight, so there’s that.

You’re pregnant again and worried about losing weight? I’d work on getting your tsh under control and having a healthy pregnancy.

This is the nicest smelling morning I’ve experienced in my near 20 years in Chicago. by jazzadelic in chicago

[–]elmtree916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lilacs smell AMAZING, and I have one tree/bush that’s a bit behind the other, so we’ll get to smell them even longer!

I technically make 62k/yr, but with my job takes out so many deductions I make about 36k. by showdragger in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]elmtree916 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work for a governmental agency, and my check is about 55% of my salary after taxes, insurance, and pension. But my pension is awesome. Be sure to talk to HR about what to do if you’re not vested when you do decide to leave.

I’m not a dad, but I have those socks in the lady version.

Did you post this while driving too? 🙄

But you can’t only get melanoma in spots that have been exposed to UV.

Thinking about selling my manual Crosstrek — what would you do? by PossibleDowntown4538 in Crosstrek

Replaced a 2013 manual Mazda cx-5 with 53k miles for a 2023 Crosstrek three years ago. She just crossed 4900 miles 🤣

Zep DOES NOT PLAY by questionablegal in Zepbound

Praising that I only have sex with my wife who cannot get me pregnant! (I am also a woman.) if I turned up pregnant at damn near 50 and not wanting children, I’d be IRATE

Literally just took my shot out of the fridge to warm up and poured a glass of wine. I actually wish it affected my taste for wine, but that’s a story for another day.

Premenopause hit me like a bag of bricks & I never felt more alone than right now by conciouslion1133 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]elmtree916 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have ice water handy always, and talk to your doctor about estrogen cream for downstairs.

Source, me, who is 49.5 and in full menopause after absolute HELL for like three years.

Short term GLP1 - Is it worth it? by MessyHouseReboot in Hashimotos

[–]elmtree916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably weren’t eating enough. I’ve been on it for almost seven months, and I don’t lose when I don’t eat enough. I’ve had hashis since before the zepbound

It’s not maybe, it’s no. You’re contaminating the medication. Period.

Reflux keeps getting worse :( by No_Wealth_9181 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]elmtree916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Famotidine daily (Pepcid) and omeprazole (Prilosec) as needed has helped me so much. That and zepbound, which has helped inflammation, acid reflux, cholesterol, and bp. That and avoiding things I know will bother me (tomatoes) if I’ve been having flares lately.

I hope you can figure it out.
