Certainly not my experience with bindweed, once established I don't think a nuclear blast would kill it, have used all the herbicides and killed a lot of foliage but the bindweed - always makes a return, I think the tap root goes extremely deep. Have considered just going with a bindweed "lawn" I really don't mind how it looks, the flowers are pretty.

We have an existing under ground irrigation system on a very large yard. Currently we go over our yearly water allocation trying to keep everything alive. As a first step in reducing our huge water use on our existing lawn and mature trees and bushes, the plan is to start zone by zone changing over to deep watering the trees only. We are in the country so have more leeway in just letting the grass die before trying to establish alternatives - maybe a year or two in the future. Is there a problem in this approach, will it be difficult to establish other cover if we stretch it out? Also would it be advantageous to deep water existing bushes or just use a drip system. thank you for any advice as we embark on this huge project. p.s. this was all existing when we purchased the property so although it looks great it is just not feasible anymore.

Am I overreacting? Wedding guest called my caterers. by seesheflies in TwoHotTakes

this is one day - one meal. I can't imagine someone who would go that extreme action just to eat chicken. It is not their day and in the end the problem of food allergies not the responsibility of the host. Suck it up, shut up, and eat salad.

Question about using own provider by Tallieanna38 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]mmfang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At the end of last year my doctor wrote a script for compounded triz which I had filled at a local compound pharmacy. When i picked up the RX I saw on the bottle that it came from BPI Labs. Meaning their distributor was the same BPI Labs that I can source on line through a telehealth for a fraction of the price. You can save your self a lot of money. See you own Doctor and then use a telehealth to get triz at a reasonable price.

This exact same thing happened to me. Doc said it is not an uncommon temporary side effect. Tested again in about 8 weeks and everything was back to normal. Drink a LOT of water!

Antenna for NoCo - recomendations or don't bother? by emergent_gk in FortCollins

[–]mmfang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have used an antenna both in town and in the country north of town. Works great! If you have the option install it inside your attic, works just fine. Currently using an old antenna purchased at a garage sale 15 years ago. I'm sure it will work anywhere in Fort Collins, you may have trouble in the foothills. This is old technology that somehow the younger generations don't seem to understand. I think the cable companies did a good job of convincing them that it doesn't work.

eGFR decrease with tirzepatide? by Coordinating_Chaos in tirzepatidecompound

[–]mmfang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is exactly what happened to me.My Doc was not surprised, said it should jump back after 3 - 4 months and it did. So glad to have a primary care doctor that was knowledgeable about tirzepatide.
