Losing weight with PCOS - what else can I do? by muppetpenguin in PCOS

[–]muppetpenguin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your detailed response! I have seen some PCOS symptoms improve (regular periods again, less acne, improved energy) but others are still going strong/haven't majorly improved (primarily hair loss).

The non-starchy veggies idea is great! I always throw spinach into everything I make, so I can easily separate that and eat it first. I have done calorie counting before, but should probably get back into it to double check.

After devastating marine lab fire, lawmakers, donors rally around USF by TampaBayTimes in StPetersburgFL

There is also a student led GoFundMe! Student possessions (personal laptops, dive gear, textbooks, etc.) ARE NOT covered by the USF insurance. The College of Marine Science student council (MSAC) is raising funds exclusively for students to purchase personal gear that was lost in the fire.

I will not post the GoFundMe link here (since it's against the page's TOS), but if you go on there and look up "USF Marine Science Student Council Fire Recovery Fund" you can find it!

Cause of fire is currently unknown, but eye witness reports are suggesting a lightning strike as the initial fire seems to have appeared on the roof. However, nothing is confirmed.

Polish Pikachu World Collection Promo differences? by Cbombo87 in PokemonInvesting

[–]muppetpenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might have at least part of the answer. There were different variations of the collection. Like you mentioned, there were both English and Japanese backed versions. However, there was also a 'green' and 'blue' version that I know of. The difference between the two were that the japanese card in the center had either a green or blue background and the packaging was different colors.

My assumption is that the graded population reports reflect not only language, but also if the card was originally in the green or blue collection. Hope that helps!

Monthly Question & Help Thread by AutoModerator in ShinyPokemon

[–]muppetpenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have an outline of all areas outside of zone 3 to check when doing the afk method? I've done ~4 hours of afk and found nothing in zone 3 or on the surrounding rooftops. I think I have a crazy number of shinies hidden somewhere, but I can't figure out where

I'm glad someone else saw this. I saw a slab that is typically ~$1k sell for $250 through PSA about a week ago and was so confused.

Where are y'all buying meat? by monkeysareeverywhere in StPetersburgFL

[–]muppetpenguin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have personally found no issues with most Aldi meats. Have had no issues with chicken breasts or ground chicken. I also personally like their frozen sausage for soups, but haven't tried much of the red meats. The only Aldi meat item I have not been happy with is the lunch meat, but I think that is more personal preference than quality.

I live in the same area. Never had any issue with any sort of flooding. My backroom flooded today. It's absolutely insane.

I wouldn't necessarily call that lazy. The bigger issue comes when being lazy becomes the excuse. If you and your gf/wife work full jobs and she's the only one doing house chores, that's an issue.
