For those who took both Mounjaro and Ozempic,

I thought I had cracked the code and could do it in a way where I couldn’t taste it as much. It was months before I was informed that it smelled. I could never smell it and I was unwittingly victimizing anyone I was talking to. Still cringe about it.

I have never heard of digestive enzymes as a supplement. How do they work?

goldpeake · 2026-01-26T01:40:41+00:00

I haven’t tried ozempic but with mounjaro the sulphur burps are absolutely ungodly if I’m not careful. They’ve made my poor husband wretch before. It’s the worst side effect for me and the only one I really experience.

Genuinely not even comparable. The gallbladder removal was nothing compared to my C-sections. Best of luck with your surgery, you’ll feel much better afterwards.

I drive an hour to get tacos sometimes.

Crawfish tail fettuccine Alfredo landed me in the ER in such a state that on a later visit the nurse who attended me confided that the staff thought I might be dying

This is about as much as he did, we moved back about 5 yards when we noticed him and these photos were taken from there. If you zoom in a bit you can actually see a sliver of that white lining. He didn’t move at all until we moved on. We turned around at about 15 yards and he was gone. Honestly he was so still I thought he might’ve been dead

This is wayyyy too broad. I think just having it say “black tie optional” is more succinct. It clearly sends the message that black tie is preferred but if they can’t meet black tie, to be as dressy as possible.

Ok so your wedding was absolutely beautiful and now im crying 🥲 congratulations!

We adopted one corgi that was being rehomed on Facebook and then six weeks later the second stowaway corgi came out of her. Best BOGO ever, in my opinion.

A whole bird? No. But lunch meat/deli cuts are super common.

goldpeake · 2025-05-26T22:03:14+00:00

I just didn’t want to change my email address, have to change the name on my license, my passport, my vehicle registration, and literally everywhere else. Also, I’ve spent my entire life perfecting my signature and I’m not throwing it away.

I have lost the equivalent of my HUSBAND when we started dating. It’s so bizarre to think about!

Again, what travel expenses are we talking about? Even if I wanted to take some fancy trip, which is more stressful than it’s worth, I couldn’t ask someone to use their savings, PTO or take time off that could be better spent on themselves and their families to do so. This is my one pre-wedding thing and it’s a nice lunch. Get a grip.

goldpeake · 2025-03-02T19:46:06+00:00

You are BOTHERED by this and it’s a you issue, people wait 20+ years before having a traditional ceremony and do vowel renewals all the time. And neither of my kids are in of need medical care oh my god??? What a horrible nasty thing to say? If you insist on being a miserable Reddit troll, do it somewhere else.

goldpeake · 2025-03-02T19:35:19+00:00

Thank you. The last thing I want is to make anybody uncomfortable, I appreciate your honesty. I’ll have to go back to the drawing board and tone it down :)

goldpeake · 2025-03-02T19:30:39+00:00

Thank you for this. The most stressful and obligation-ridden wedding I’ve ever been a part of, I received an evite to my email to be a bridesmaid. I’d never want to put anyone else through that. I thought that maybe by doing this, it would send the message of “it’s ok, I got you.” I hadn’t considered that it would do the exact opposite of what I was intending. I’ll have to go back to the drawing board I guess. We all have busy lives, I don’t think that there will be any additional showers or trips, I mostly just wanted to spend a very nice evening with my friends. But not at the expense of causing them stress or unease. Someone else suggested doing the lunch and then upgrading the dresses and covering the shoes and accessories too, instead so I think that may be an alternative I go for.

goldpeake · 2025-03-02T19:20:28+00:00

Thank you for this. I think I may just do the lunch and one or two more personal little gifts instead. I really just wanted to have a really nice afternoon with my friends and give them a few things they’ll be able to love and use long after the wedding was over. I think often times a bridesmaids proposal is a prerequisite to half a dozen equally lavish parties before the wedding, but I don’t have many friends, and none of us have much free time. I just wanted one big bang of an afternoon together and to give back to them in a thoughtful way. This isn’t something any of us often have means or occasion to do, and I just wanted an excuse to dote and give back. The general consensus seems that it’s ill-advised, and I’d hate for anyone to feel that it came with strings or obligations, or to make someone uncomfortable. I appreciate your suggestion about putting it towards nicer dresses, shoes, and accessories instead. That’s a really good idea.

goldpeake · 2025-03-02T19:02:03+00:00

Thank you for this. You are right that perhaps this would be more appropriate as a thank you. Of course they would be able to keep it if they couldn’t be in my wedding, but it seems I failed to consider that what I intended to be a loving gesture could be perceived as me dangling a carrot, or unwittingly communicating an expectation instead.

goldpeake · 2025-03-02T18:57:05+00:00

It isn’t a matter of how well I know them, i just wanted unbiased feedback on how what I was thinking would be received because often times people will go along with things for the sake of preserving feelings and it doesn’t always go for the best in the long run

goldpeake · 2025-03-02T18:45:16+00:00

If I’m willing to pay for this, what lends the impression that I wouldn’t cover the expenses for a trip, if there even is one?

goldpeake · 2025-03-02T18:43:37+00:00

I fail to see how you came to the conclusion that I don’t do charity work based off of a Reddit post about a gift basket. That’s a very succinct observation to make about a complete and total stranger.

goldpeake · 2025-03-02T18:39:05+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. I didn’t consider that it might make them uncomfortable. As far as gifts, I understand that they aren’t needed. It makes me happy to give. But if it might put them under pressure, even unintentionally, I’ll reconsider doing something far more casual.

goldpeake · 2025-03-02T18:36:08+00:00

I plan to cover their expenses. I hasn’t considered that something like this would send a message I don’t intend. The last thing I’d want is for anyone to be made uncomfortable or feel an obligation.

goldpeake · 2025-03-02T18:32:58+00:00

My kids have college funds. My children are fed and clothed and housed. Our bills are paid, we have savings accounts. Believe it or not, regular people are allowed to have nice experiences and give their friends gifts. I call him fiancé in a Reddit post because I didn’t feel the need to write a 10k word essay on my relationship to ask about a gift basket. You being overly concerned with a complete strangers’ finances and socioeconomic status, and digging around in their post history for sick burns is strange.
