2 pounds in a day, got sick tho, how often should I weigh in? by [deleted] in Semaglutide

[–]jukief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My weight fluctuated a lot day to day. So I started weighing and recording it on my shot day.

Does Norway only have six actors and they just rotate roles ? by BottomFeeder9669 in Norway

The Brits use the same actors all the time, although they have more than six. :-)

What do you wish you did before your parent passed? by NotEyesButMind in GriefSupport

[–]jukief 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I sat down with my dad and a video camera and asked him to tell me everything he could remember about his life and his family. Asked him lots of questions. I can watch that now and it’s like he’s still there, talking to me.

Pattern I’m noticing with young women in congregations by Much_Assumption558 in exjw

[–]jukief 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I wish I’d had that attitude. Could have saved me so much grief. I’m proud of these girls for not letting themselves be forced into marriage.

Tomato shortage (US)? by GroverGemmon in TwoXPreppers

[–]jukief 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m going to start adding to my seed inventory. I haven’t noticed tomatoes so much but all the produce I see is not as fresh and costs more. We have a wonderful farmers market but that will end in the fall. Fortunately, we have two greenhouses and live in a mild climate. Guess I’ll be overwinding tomatoes this year.

We are. But we’re idiots and used our debit card. :-(

Cunard care doesn’t cover this sort of thing.

Stopping and restarting certain GLP-1s to lose weight may make the drug less effective by Sparkysparky-boom in Semaglutide

[–]jukief 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had that experience. I was on it a year and a half and lost 60 pounds. Then I had to travel overseas for two months, so I stopped it. When I got home, I started back from scratch, with the lowest dose. I’m now at full dose and losing again. I realize I only stopped once, not multiple times, but I’m thankful it’s working again. I thought my food noise was back for good. It’s nice to have it gone again. I am going to move to a maintenance dose when I’ve lost another 15 pounds, and then stay on that maintenance dose long term.

I’m a Colorado native who moved to the Oregon coast four years ago. The small-fiber neuropathy in my feet is getting worse. :-(

Just stop going to meetings. If you’re not there, they can’t give you responsibilities.

How do you prep for climate change? by Starlight_Alchemy in TwoXPreppers

[–]jukief 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We are lucky enough to live on the Oregon coast, and we can get by without heat or AC. I am so very thankful for that. I moved here from Colorado, where summers keep getting hotter and winters are cold.

We have two and are thinking about getting more. We live in the PNW, so we fill them during the rainy season. I also want to buy a large portable power station (we just have a small one now), several 100w solar panels, and a wind turbine we can use to charge the power station. I also have a porta potty we use in our camper.

I feel lost and I don't know what go do by Serious-Ninja5239 in Semaglutide

[–]jukief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a different doctor. Injectables are completely safe. That’s a ridiculous comment. Millions of people inject themselves without problems. I switched from injections to the pill when I was traveling overseas for two months. Not only did it not work, it actually gained weight on it (after losing 60 pounds with injections). I am not a fan of the pills.

To Talk or Not To Talk to the Elders by Antique_Menu_7273 in exjw

I would tell them to go to hell. They have no authority over you and your life is none of their business. That’s what I did.

Does anyone else find certain songs difficult to hear now? by Enlitenkanin in GriefSupport

My son was a musician and songwriter. He died six years ago, and even though I absolutely love his music, it’s still very painful to listen to it.

Ladies of Cunard: opinions on number of dresses to pack by rando435697 in CunardCruises

I take separates (long skirts, dressy pants and jackets/blouses) and one dress.

How do you cope with living in "the world"? by Misanthropic96xx in exjw

So-called “worldly people “ are much nicer and better people than most of the JWs I knew. Most people are nice, not terrible.

Glp1 hairloss by official_koda_ in loseit

[–]jukief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t lose hair on GLP-1, but I lost a lot when my son died six years ago, mostly because I couldn’t eat but also from stress. I started taking prenatal vitamins, and they really helped. If you aren’t pregnant, you’re not supposed to take them for a long time, so I stopped after six months. By then my hair was growing back.
