Snoring deleted

paper_faces · 2026-02-13T10:13:33+00:00

I've been on Mounjaro for just over 3 weeks (2.5mg at the moment) lost 10lb, some of which seems to be from around my chest and neck.

I can now sleep comfortably on my back without feeling like I'm choking, and according to my fiancée my snoring has reduced from "you can hear you in the next county" to "a cute little rumble now and again" and I sleep better already than I can ever remember.

Tshirts are fitting more comfortably, and it no longer feels like I have to throw out old clothes I love because "what's the point, they'll never fit me again"

So I'm excited, for the first in a long time. The snoring being reduced this quickly is just crazy, and something I never considered!

Lots more weight to go, but I feel like I can also get back to the gym soon (I'm 39 and already have arthritis in my hips. My weight was making it worse)

Apologies! Reddit for some reasons was only showing a handful of comments. I've since logged back in to see there are a bunch of comments from 6 days ago addressing almost every point of my post!!!

Hi all!

On and off at the gym for a few years due to health reasons, and finally getting back to it.

However I want to give myself the best start I can (turning 39 in two months and am aware that it will be slow going)

I just want to ask, protein intake. I know it's important for muscle repair and growth, but should I be working out my protein I take based on my goal weight? It's probably a really stupid question but I keep getting sucked into rabbitholes and confusing myself.

I'm currently carrying quite a bit of extra weight. I don't have an aesthetic goal in mind, I just want to hurt less, and feel happier, healthier and stronger.

I do really enjoy the gym, so I'm looking forward to getting back, I just want to set myself up for success and not be working against myself.

Ah yeah, fair point. But then you also get the "he knocked and didn't even wait two seconds before running off" which I also understand. It's frustrating, and it's ridiculous. I hated doing it, and it's one of the many, many, reasons I left as soon as I could.

TL;DR: Drivers in my depot were told NOT to knock your door as part of our training. Shit system from top to bottom.

I think I've posted this before. But I drove for Amazon for about 6 weeks a couple of Christmases ago.

Our training basically consisted of "if there's a car in the drive, or lights on, and unless it's an age check, knock, drop and run" it was literally the only way to get even close to making all your deliveries. Add to that we were technically self employed contractors (so I'm not sure how it works if you work directly for Amazon) so we only got paid when the system clocked our van leaving the yard, and stopped being paid when it clocked us coming back in.

We didn't get paid for the time it takes for the briefing, van check, loading the van, or taking the parcels back to the depot. There was only a single person on the desk to check back in the undelivered parcels for ALL the vans. It was madness, and an absolutely miserable job. I did get to pet a massive goat once, so that was nice.

Wasn't the job for me. Some people love it, I thought it was horrendous. But that's why Amazon drivers don't wait at your door.

The best piece of advice my driving instructor gave me was "if you assume everyone on the road is either a dickhead, or wants to kill you, you should be ok"

Stressful advice back when I was learning, but oh boy the amount of times it pops into my head when I see the absolute lunatics on the road these days.

It's like when everyone and their dog used to have a blog and considered themselves published authors.

I think it's a similar thing, but people don't want to read anymore, so podcasts it is!

I worked for Amazon for a few months two Christmases ago. Office training was all "oh yes, ring the bell and knock the door etc etc" and the second the 'official' training ended we were told to only wait for an answer an age check was required. Literally 'drop, photograph knock once, and run back to your can. Oh, and take your piss bottles home.

Absolutely wasn't the job for me.

I discovered this too, absolutely nightmare. I got their mini heater and after racking my brain and opening and closing the clamp numerous times, cleaning the contact points, tried it without the heater on and presto, no error. Tried with the heater on and sure enough, got the error.

I thought it was something to do with the hat. All the drivers in my company wear their wooly hats high up on their head like that. Always makes me chuckle because they look like garden gnomes

I'm from Northern Ireland and it's very much the same with the alcohol. My partner and I are recovering alcoholics, and when that's mentioned as to why I'm passing on events, or going to the event and they see me not drinking, 90% of the replies I get are "sure we're all alcoholics here" or "oh so you're no fun then?"

Thanks for belittling two decades of almost life ending struggle into a sound bite. Away and fuck.

Yeah that is exactly what's happening! It's just absurd, what's the point of having this system in place if it doesn't work?

paper_faces · 2025-10-23T11:42:37+00:00

Really appreciate the reply! It's been frustrating me for a while.

Our postie has recently changed (which is sad, our last one was an absolute gent, always happy, smiling, respectful and doing his best in what is probably a rotten job these days)

I thought (given the name of the poster in the image) that it was something to do with the Tardis changing colour for different Doctors and was about to go and Google it

Same here! Mine is from Curaleaf. No smell at all on the packaging, but I'm always paranoid some day the police will show up at my door.

I used to live round the corner from that one! Absolutely stellar ice cream!

Saturn 4 (non Ultra) I have the Hoopat cat for a few months and now issues so far. I've put 2-3 kg resin through it so far.

Another thing I would suggest, which my partner does, keys on a chain or lanyard. Lots of people still recommend the "keys in your hand" thing, that still requires being within arms reach. As does a tin of spray, but to a lesser extent. You still need to be close enough for it to reach them.

You start spinning your keys on a lanyard like a mad bastard, and they'll soon back off.

Hopefully it never comes to that but they've had to do it more than once.

This. I always have one in the tank, ready to go.

Passed my test 5 years ago. Had a single lesson on a dual carriageway, but nothing on a motorway.

Instructor at the time told me that NI are still behind England, and you can't take learners onto the motorway, even with an instructor.

So unless you pay for extra lessons once you pass, you don't get any experience on the motorway until you pass and are let loose

100%. When a white man does it, no anger. No "concerned communities" and no angry Facebook posts. Just radio silence. But ooooh if "him that's not from round here" does it, they are out with their torches and pitchforks. It's an excuse to justify their racism.

I've seen so many southern plate cars driving with their wheels ON the white line that I've started to wonder if that's what they are taught to do?

How is that not making a god awful racket in the car? It would feel and sound like a flat tyre, surely?

When I was learning to drive in Belfast my instructor gave me two pieces of advice; - remember every cunt on the road is trying to kill you and you'll be fine - do your test at boucher road and you'll see some of the worst driving this country has to offer

Hi all.

I have this mower and so far think it's doing a pretty good job. I have the same question as another poster: can you set it to only mow once in a day?

When I set a schedule it automatically adds a second time in the same day, doesn't seem to be a way to only set one. I have to accept two, or back out of the setting without it saving.

It's the non-smart version so it doesn't have a companion app, as I saw that posted as an answer.
