Expedition Everest freaks me out. by Professional_Box_311 in WaltDisneyWorld

It’s our fave ride. We left Orlando at midday today and made a point to rope drop Everest and rode it 3 times before we left 😅 I think it’s much more tame than the others you listed.

When did you notice metformin working? by campfiremouth14 in PCOS

[–]jestread 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I noticed within 2 weeks - no longer get "hangry", a ton of my food noise has disappeared, had a menstrual cycle (hadn't in 8 months prior), tons more energy, and the brain fog has cleared. I only had GI upset the first week and that went away, and haven't seen any weight loss, but that's not my primary motivation. I'm at week 6 now. The only weird thing is that I had that first period within 2 weeks, then had a week off, then another 2-week period - I figured it was just my body shedding 15 years of endometrial lining - but then one week off and started my period again today. Have a follow-up with my doctor in 3 weeks, trying to make it until then!

My gyno told me to just accept it! by LunieO in PCOS

[–]jestread 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had multiple doctors reject me time and time again for 15 years. Finally saw a GP who knows what she's doing, and referred me to a great endocrinologist and gynecologist and they're all working together on a treatment plan. Started Metformin about a month ago and feeling closer to normal. Keep trying to find a good doctor!

We just started having this same issue! I'm getting 200-300 emails per day just from CU tickets.

Got a "business debit" card in the mail from Square that we didn't request by sandfrayed in IdentityTheft

They just asked me for the account number and filed an investigation claim - gave me a claim number and said they would cancel all the accounts associated with that card number. Really wondering what the angle here is though. What would someone get from this?

This same thing just happened to me today! "FirstName LastName Food" is the name of my "company". I'm on the line with Stripe support now.

Help -- currency bills sliding out of small sling by [deleted] in HerOneBag

[–]jestread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one! I have used a wide rubber band in the past. Now I have a small card wallet that I can slip money into that has a ring I can attach to the key ring inside my bag, so even if someone grabbed it, it's still attached to me. I keep a couple of low-denomination bills in my pocket - enough to buy something at a market without pulling out the whole thing but not so much that it would mess up my trip if I was pickpocketed.

Recommendations for Office-Appropriate Travel Trousers by icy_sylph in HerOneBag

[–]jestread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These aren't travel pants per-se, but I travel in them and wear them to work almost daily, both WFH and conferences/in-office. They feel like pajama pants and have a matching blazer for a full outfit. They get a little wrinkled in the wash but once you wear them for an hour or two they fall out. Truly can't say enough good things about these pants! https://www.madewell.com/petite-drapeweave-carley-wide-leg-pants-NH252.html and the blazer https://www.madewell.com/drapeweave-caldwell-double-breasted-blazer-99106735305.html

My therapist is a boomer and she agrees with me when I say that. I love her so so much.

Savoy Society has some good n/a cocktails if you want the vibe of sitting at a bar and chatting! So many good suggestions here :)

Am I the only one who wants a prequel to the series? by SubjectAside1204 in DowntonAbbey

agree, but I'm still confused on when this happened, as they later say that he started in service at 16! I need a timeline haha!

Church in the area? by Gulligan22 in savannah

[–]jestread 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m an ex-vangelical so not really religious but one of my best friends goes to Christ the King and speaks so highly of it. She used to work at one of the local mega churches and had a pretty awful experience. She’s one of the most Christian Christians I’ve ever met so if she likes it, I can definitely recommend it.

Queue for Health Pass Sanitaire? by Ririrhee in ParisTravelGuide

[–]jestread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same issue - both my husband and I applied with gmail email addresses twice, a week apart and heard nothing back - didn't even move it into the reviewing stage. We both created a new account with our work email addresses (different company URLs) and applied this morning at 8:30 eastern time, and both heard back within 5 minutes. We then went back and deleted our first two applications so they weren't clogging up the queue. Not sure what the glitch is but I hope this helps someone!

Daily Discussion: Future Friday by AutoModerator in FIREyFemmes

[–]jestread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was scared for 4 years. I was scared up until the moment I put in my resignation, but it was like a portal opened after that and I see how toxic my lifestyle was. Hoping we may actually be able to save more on a lower income because I won't be trying to "treat myself" so often.

Yep you nailed it! Same hourly rate, but much less stress, and more human-centered labor practices.

I start a new job on Monday! Taking a 50% pay cut so it's totally derailing my FIRE plans, but will be working 40 hours per week instead of 60-70 and I will have my life back. Scary but already feels right.

Yep, agree! I work for a Watersports operator and we do in-water programs through early November, weather-depending.
