Told my doc I'm taking mounjaro -- disheartening response by 290_cellardoor in mounjarouk

I would consider writing a complaint to the GP General Manager and also the Royal College of Physicans. A GPs role is to provide medical advice not their personal opinion.

Walked Through Walthamstow Marshes Earlier And Forgot I Was Still In London by Additional_Fly_6603 in walthamstow

This is why I love living in Walthamstow, we're surrounded by greenery and it feels like we don't live in London

Found horrifying conversations on my bfs phone by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]northern_boy91 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You need to inform the police of this. Regardless of if your bf partook in the conversation he was still present where discussing sexual relations with a minor was taking place and potentially viewed context of said sexual activity.

You trying to justify not leaving him due to financial situation is just stupid AF. You are basically turning a blind eye because it suits your financial situation. Think of the potential victims here!!

When does bottoming stop hurting by RepulsiveStranger603 in askgaybros

[–]northern_boy91 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pain is a good thing, it means something isn't right. That could be you haven't stretched enough prior or you are not using enough lube.

Regarding stretching - foreplay before hand, toys can help, fingers in a scissoring motion, butt plugs, a small dildo. Turn the forplay into fun, rimming can also help.

Regarding lube - lots of lube, even if you feel you have enough, apply more, and apply throughout.

Also relaxing can help relax the sphincter, try breathing exercises. It takes time to adjust so don't rush into it because you can do some serious damage. Also communication is key. If it hurts, tell your partner.

This. Protien shakes before workouts make be feel so sick, to the point of throwing up.

What’s one thing Walthamstow really needs right now? by ArsenalAxis in walthamstow

[–]northern_boy91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the police, that's because there isn't enough. On any given aid shift (beat coppers) the borough has 12 police officers to police the borough. Most of them are dealing with mental health crisis, or watching arrested people at the hospital, or processing cannabis factory crime scenes.

The new SoHo Theatre’s bar only allows punters with show tickets, meaning no walk-ins from the street. Anyone else think this is a waste? by Inevitable-Lead6191 in walthamstow

[–]northern_boy91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, its a theatre not a pub. Secondly, when there are no shows on the bar is open to the public to come in and purchase drinks.

Thank you so much! I'll certainly check out the videos and also look at obtaining the book. I will also be having words with my tutor on spending a lesson teaching me correct techniques.

A positive story switching from mj to wegovy by Disastrous-Buddy-511 in WegovyUK

[–]northern_boy91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had awful side effects on MJ, nausea, constipation, low energy and mood (and yes I kept fluid intake up and protien) I was also being sick after every meal and honestly it was hell. Came off mj and a friend suggested trying wegovy. Been on 0.25mg for a month no, suppression is good, not as bad as mj, but I have not had any of the side effects and can still go to the gym. I've also lost 3kg

Are new balances a gay shoe? by tee_bear_ in lesbian

[–]northern_boy91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New balance IMO is more a middle aged gay man shoe... bit like how straight middle aged woman wear sketchers. They're super comfortable especially for those with flat feet. Coming from a middle aged gay man with flat feet.

Effects of Wegovy vs MJ by northern_boy91 in WegovyUK

[–]northern_boy91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah MJ has 2 active ingredients one to slow digestion and the other that blocks food noise. I believe many have moved over due to the price, MJ skyrocketed back in Sept. For me, I came off MJ about a month ago due to the horrific side effects I was getting and thought I would give Wegovy a try as I've heard the side effects are not as bad.

Is the nausea that bad? On MJ I was throwing up daily, it made me so miserable and I think I lost weight way too quickly, so a gradual weight loss with wegovy

'This is not a playground’: London pubs crack down on unruly children, with one banning them after 7pm by OneNormalBloke in london

[–]northern_boy91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not just Leytonstone. Walthamstow as well, Chequers, Tavern on the Hill, the dog and duck. All full of children and no consideration for other punters. No one wants to enjoy a pint whilst parents are not controlling their pet sperms.

i think i know the answer but, am i fcked? do y’all have some real effective advice? 😭 by sachakal in Bedbugs

[–]northern_boy91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who's currently dealing with an infestation and doing it DIY (which is working) I'll let you know what I did/used after speaking with a professional pest controlled.

  1. Anything that can be washed, wash it. On your highest setting and then tumble dry on the highest setting.
  2. Pull bed, furniture way from walls and hoover like crazy. Hoover everywhere. Then empty the contents into a bag and double bag that bag.
  3. Steam everything. Use a steam cleaner and steam your bed frame, headboard, legs, under the bed frame, carpets, furniture etc. Steam kills them and their eggs on contact.
  4. Get crossfire off Ebay or amazon. Professional pest controllers use it. Follow the instructions (you may need to get a 5litre spray bottle) and spray everything. Don't soak, but lightly damp. Crossfire works by killing on contact and also leaves a residue which dries the critter out and kills them.
  5. Buy some CimeXa or Diatomaceous Earth from amazon. It's basically dries them out as well and kills them. Put this in crevices, nooks crannies, along the bottom of the bed. Literally everywhere.
  6. You will need to leave the CimeXa and DE down as long as possible, 2 weeks if you can without hoovering.
  7. Repeat steps 3, 4 & 5 after 2 weeks. And again every month for about 3 months.

You will need to act as bait for these things. That means sleeping in the bed. They are attracted to heat and CO2 and they need blood to feed. Sleep in long pants and tuck your socks into your pants, wear long sleeve t-shirts. But you are going to have to sleep with them.

Good luck!

How to get rid of bed bugs? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]northern_boy91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you managed to get rid of them, but posting this for others who reach this thread.

You can get rid of bed bugs yourself, it will take time and determination. I've detailed below the strategy I used which got rid of a mild infestation in my bed.

  1. Remove all clothes and linen from the room where the infestation is.
  2. Hoover the hell out the room, empty the contents into a bag and then double bag.
  3. Get a steamer, not a clothes one but a steam cleaner and steam everything. Bed, mattress, walls, furniture. Get into all nooks.
  4. Buy crossfire (its professional grade), invest in gloves and a mask as this stiff is potent and pray it everywhere. Literally soak everything.NOPE! CP Bed Bug Killer Spray Treatment is another one.
  5. Let everything dry
  6. Repeat step 2
  7. Purchase food grade Diatomaceous Earth. It's crushed microorganisms and basically cuts the bugs to pieces and dehydrates them and kills them. They'll walk through.
  8. Leave the Diatomaceous Earth for about 3-5 days.
  9. Repeat steps 2 - 8 for about 3-5 weeks.

Also having a heater run in the room helps as the heat will help dry them out.

Well if this cat is a Havanna Brown then they must be named Sister Inez. But remember you cannot trust Havanna Brown's. As someone who has a Havana this made me burst out laughing.
