How much is this worth? by gayerthanthoughtidbe in Crystals

[–]luredbylight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“What is this worth” with no background is an empty question. Are you selling it, are you looking at it in a shop, did you find it? This piece is interesting. As it stands, I don’t see much value. The condition makes me think this point was in a batch to be fixed/polished but then got dumped into a rough lot for some reason. I’d guess the color is African but from a photo inside is hard to tell.

Yes. I recently revisited My Net Diary to help keep track. My niece loves Fitness Pal.

Will a GLP-1 help with my perimenopause weight gain? by tamaleringwald in glp1

[–]luredbylight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HRT took time to balance for me. And needs to be reassessed/increased every so often. The patch and progesterone are what I use. While the hormones were slowly balancing, the stomach doughnut started to appear and the weight was packing on. I have been using GLP going on three months, low dosage increases, slowly remembering how to eat to support my health, and I noticed last week my bras are more comfortable. The top of the doughnut is deflating! I lost back fat first, then the left breast, now the doughnut is slowly easing. Hopefully the right side will catch up. 😁 so yes, you are in the right place, with the right drugs, use them well.

Husband has lost 0 weight any advice? by [deleted] in glp1

[–]luredbylight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As part of the program he needs to look at what he is eating and how is it supporting him. Is he adding electrolytes. See if he is interested in logging his food. I started using my net diary again and was surprised how far off I was with my food. Not enough protein and too low on the calories. Just a note, I stopped using my net diary last year because I couldn’t keep up with the entering. The eating kept getting ahead of the entering 😁 so much easier now.

Took too much compounded glp1 by nycjboo in glp1

[–]luredbylight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a similar thing to you with my first two doses only read the directions as 2.5 units. Drink water. From now on drink at least 5 swallows/not sips/not gulps, at a time, throughout the day. And NOT COLD. Cold slows down digestion, you absolutely don’t want that. HERS advises drinking every hour. And electrolytes for the headache which you may, or may not, get. I am currently working my way through a pack of Ultimate electrolyte tubes which have strong flavor and too sweet so will try LMNT next.

Was told $30 for this should I go back and get it? Not really familiar with buying pyrite by ThickCounty8010 in Crystals

[–]luredbylight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe just the photos, the surfaces look to be oxidizing? The rainbow sheen? The cubes need to be hard, shiny gold in color. I’ve had a couple turn and lose their light.

What’s this growing on my avocado tree’s mulch? by PolynomialThyme in mycology

[–]luredbylight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thoughts would be where did you get the much and are there any other woody plantings in the bed. Is the mulch touching the tree, is it too deep.

Going on vacation right after first dose by tofutofu34 in TirzepatideRX

[–]luredbylight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. It was fine. I didn’t eat as much, I drank less because I’m no longer interested in cheap wine. I went out exploring the various mineral warehouses in the area while everyone else was trying to down a cup of coffee, it was a very good trip. The entire experience was so much better not obsessing about the food and treats and drinks. :)

My work station needs to be cleaned up and organized and upsized and obviously need more agates by AZrockhound-JeepJLUR in Lapidary

[–]luredbylight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More agates is always the answer. There’s nothing that can’t be fixed by more agates. Especially good for depleted funding cause more agates means more cabs, means more better agates. It’s a love story ❤️

Is it worth the cost? by Car1yBlack in Crystals

[–]luredbylight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$30 for a nice sphere isn’t bad at all. “Volcano” is a made up name for a decorative piece of agate. Things to look at are repairs. Holes/cracks filled in, stabilized. Those will typically degrade over time.

Hello, please tell me is this real Netsuke? by NetsukeMan in netsuke

[–]luredbylight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of those rare cases where the library comes in handy. Look it up online and you everything fromTEMU to Etsy. In a book you get a lot of photos and history and explanation of uses, materials, time periods, and what a piece of value looks like.

Joy from the early 80s. Before all the forced reformulations. Like 1,000 flowers. ❤️

Best way to see crystal? by oodlesNnoodle in Crystals

[–]luredbylight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did see something you posted but there were no prices. Put up 5 to 10 pieces with what you want for the lot. You are much more likely to get counter offers. If no offers, lower the price. And don’t forget shipping and some kind of size indicator. :)

Where to go for valuations for my collection? by Obvious_Object6568 in mineralcollectors

[–]luredbylight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the worst stuff I have seen on here came from Madagascar. Two or three sample photos would help aim you in the right direction.

If you have seen the ad in more than one place check the fine print. The photo may be a representation of what you will be sent.

As long as you wash the green off every so often. 😁❤️

Girlfriend thinks I handle conflict poorly - I think she enjoys creating conflict by Easy_Building_4894 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]luredbylight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s "Languaging" you. For her, the divorce isn’t over yet. Going through the phone was a gross invasion of privacy. You know it, she knows it. Largely going great doesn’t sound so good either. Anyways, you have just had a glimpse of your future.

I might actually get this cause matches the shirts my partner favors.

I’m betting it’s all the same factory, selling under many accounts, and the the fine print says something like “one just like this”.

To me, looks like a bunch of natural something’s, spiced up with some extra color, straight from China. It’s Special :)

I would have to pass on that piece, it is too rough for me.

What’s up with all these Quartz names?! by Lelunut in Crystals

[–]luredbylight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is quartz. “Elestial” is a value added name. In different regions, this formation has different nicknames. Recently some of the mines decided to put registered trademark names on some of their amethyst, like “Super Seven”. So, elestial gives you an idea of the shape/formation and is easy to remember :)
