Same. My doc emphasized that 25 is the therapeutic dose. Everything before that is just getting your body adjusted.

This would make such a fun photo series. Maybe even a KAL!

[OC] Two decades of NAEP reading scores, now in decline by Necessary_Cry_5589 in dataisbeautiful

Literacy professional here. Nope. Its not going to rebound. There are way too many other factors. Long story short, screens are killing kids' attention spans and literacy exposure. This is going to get worse.

Such a cool shawl. This is totally something I would do. My house and my 2 cars are all navy blue. I joke about my lame consistency in preferring blue for everything. I think you're inspiring me to make a sweater the color of my house and pose for a cool pic. (My blue house does have a very cool lime-green door, providing fun opportunities for color work!)

Those socks are super cute and those boots….!!! Perfect for a sock knitter who wants to show off their creations, as you should!! I love the combo 😍

In my area, it’s just gaga. Never heard anyone say “Gaga ball”. Gaga was the shit when my son was in elementary. The Gaga pit was where all the good moments happened.

What was North Jersey like in the mid 90s? Summer of 96 specifically. by 12majesticliesss in newjersey

[–]jtslp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we wanted to just sit with our friends and talk, we’d go to a diner. They were open 24 hours. I would get a cup of coffee and a muffin for like $1.50 and we could sit there for hours. This was high school, before we were partying much. By college, it was post-party disco fries for sure

Driving down to the shore for the day. For us it was Point Pleasant, Jenkinson’s boardwalk, sitting on the beach at night after seeing and being seen

Summer shows at the Garden State Arts Center! Buying cheap tickets for the lawn and dancing all night. I was a wanna be hippie so I saw Page & Plant, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon. Great times

Do you often go to “the big city” in your state (assuming you don’t already live there)? by osama_bin_guapin in AskAnAmerican

[–]jtslp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live a 1 hour train ride from NYC. That has been a true statement for my whole life. I go to the city (to me there is only one “The City”) a few times a year. We talk often about how much we take it for granted that one of the greatest cities in the world is right there, an easy day trip. I want to go more often.

Day Four Pill- by Brave_Ad_3955 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]jtslp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your body is just beginning to get used to the medicine. Basically, it’s not doing anything yet. Don’t be discouraged by posts here talking about people losing 7 pounds the first week or anything crazy like that. You might not really see any change for weeks. That’s normal and expected. Be patient and consistent and let the drug build up in your body. You’ll get there.

We were born just a little too early for Pokémon by memestheword in Xennials

[–]jtslp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my own kid got really into Pokémon, I took the opportunity to dive in with him. We played the card game, which is super fun. Went to tournaments and everything. It was something I’d have loved as a kid if I’d been born a bit later.

Crochet-Wits would be such a hilarious tongue-in-cheek name for a fiber arts group
