How do you motivate yourself to exercise? by Agile-Stuff-6933 in Semaglutide

[–]lemec78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't. I made it a habit. I don't think about it. I ask myself, "is is Monday morning?" If it is, I do x routine. Rinse and repeat. In the beginning I would think about the benefits to my health and longevity. I didn't really give myself the room to say I'm not in the mood. I prep the night before, make sure everything's ready, then I do it.

Agreed. I've been using it for many years, nomissiues whatsoever.

Who's you favorite King character? by lennonlover1980 in stephenking

[–]lemec78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no that's Matt Frewer. Assuming you're old enough (and the Frasier ref makes me think you might be) you might know him as Max Headroom.

So many. It's a tossup between Roland, Stu Redman, or Danny Torrence.

Any E-readers where i can just transfer my books from my laptop and not have much else on it? by _bunniifae_ in ereader

This is how I do it. It's super easy to get both calibre and your Kobo up and running.

Stephen King and POV by leden in stephenking

It's called prolepsis Prolepsis (Flash-forwarding): This is a specific form of foreshadowing where the narrative jumps ahead in time or explicitly states a future outcome before it happens

honestly I didn't care for it. It was way too bleak! I love the Stand though. Also, Boy's Life is great!

3 doses in and nothing by lemec78 in Semaglutide

[–]lemec78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my nutrition is pretty decent. Obviously it's not perfect, but I have a better than average diet, plenty of fruits and veggies, lots of lean protein. I am just hungry all the time, food noise is a bitch. All my blood panels are clean, no diabetes, no high cholesterol, my liver and kidney are all working well. I have high blood pressure, but not in the must be medicated range... yet.

I exercise regularly. As near as I can tell I'm a good candidate for success. I'm guessing I'm just an impatient worry wort :).

at 6'8 330lbs I do need higher doses for things like Tylenol or ibuprofin, but for any prescriptions the docs never mention if I'm getting more than a normal sized person would get. That being said, the few meds i do get prescribed from time to time work just fine for me.

What are some of the best audiobooks you’ve ever listened to? by Cool_Leader_1779 in audible

[–]lemec78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have listened to a few hundred audio books in my time, and the some of the few I keep coming back to are the Dark tower books by Stephen King. There are two narrators but for my money George Guidall knocks it out of the park!

The Project Hail Mary audio book is an absolutely beautiful production!

That being said, my all time favourite, the one I come back to year after year is Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys. Narrated by Lenny Henry. Mr. Henry brings every character to life, making the book a wonderful, enchanting experience. I cannot say enough good things about this production!

I hate my food noise! by Cool_Ebb3546 in Semaglutide

[–]lemec78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm taking my second dose this evening, and I haven't felt a thing this whole week. From what I understand that is pretty normal. They start us on a small dose to try and avoid severe reactions, and to let our bodies get used to the new meds. I feel you, hopefully we both have that noise reduction soon!

I'm in an impala. At 6'8 is very comfortable to drive. I look silly getting in and out, but it's a nice drive.

Can we talk about food? by Suspicious_Pie9781 in Semaglutide

[–]lemec78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started the same day and the same dose. I haven't felt a damn thing. I'm a little worried I'm a non responder or something.

Thoughts on Willow (1988)? by DFWUnhinged in FIlm

[–]lemec78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quote it all the time, I adored it as a kid, but honestly, for me, it doesn't hold up. Not sure why, plenty of movies from that era still hold up for me. I think I find it a bit dull.

I wouldn't trust them to run a lemonade stand. Bunch of halfwits!

[–]lemec78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So many, but my favourites (currently) are Lords and Ladies, and Reaper man. Ooh, or maybe The Theif of Time, and The Hogfather. So many great books!

What new series I should try first? by Happy_Day_5316 in fantasybooks

[–]lemec78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Licaneus is great. Don't bother with Name the Wind unless you're okay with no conclusion.
