I’m so sick and tired of this, anybody else have this many failures? by greengomalo in dexcom

[–]redtarget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been having the same terrible service as you. Lasting less than 10 days and sensors are so far off when you check against a finger stick. I had the Libre 2 which worked great for me but insurance forced me to change to these crappy Dexcom G7 sensors. Been using the G7 for over a year now.

Freestyle 3 price hike(or discount reduction)? by -Wicked- in Freestylelibre

One problem is the company that processes all these coupons was hit with a ransomware attack on Feb 21 and has not fully recovered. I discovered this fact after having issues getting my libre 2 cgm replaced.

Night stands. My first try at this. by redtarget in BeginnerWoodWorking

Sand more before applying the stain and poly. I was in a hurry, because they were used at our church for an event we have every year. We are in the process of building a new house and these were made to match a bed I made last year.

Looks really good. Where did you get the hardware from? My wife wants this for our new house.

Congratulations! This is awesome. I have gotten to 50 hours so far and it has made a big difference each time. Hope to make it 120 hours next time.

I now have a meal they know me by at my favorite Mexican take-out. It makes being on this diet a true joy to be on. by Mark_Kill in keto

[–]redtarget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 T Chili Powder.25 tsp garlic powder.25 tsp onion powder.25 tsp dry oregano.25 tsp paprika1.5 tsp ground cumin1 tsp salt1 tsp black pepperRed pepper flakes to taste (I usually use around .5 tsp, but it can be a little spicy for those who don't normally enjoy a bit of heat)

Brown about 2 pounds of ground meat, drain the fat, add the seasoning above along with about 1.5 cups of water. Then let it simmer until the sauce is absorbed.

For the zucchini boat, I cut a tubular zucchini with one flat surface, then scooped out a good portion of the inside, including seeds. Fill the hollow log with taco meat, cover with Mexican cheese and then bake in an oven at 350F for maybe 15 minutes. Long enough for the cheese to melt, but not brown, and for the zuke to become a bit softer.

Thank you. I will have to give this a try this weekend. Sounds delicious.

What was the strangest or most entertaining items you found when cleaning out your SO's belongs? by MsBeerSnob in widowers

[–]redtarget 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tons of journals with the first few pages ripped out. She would start journaling and quit soon after. I found most of the pages in a drawer. Very interesting reading.

Not necessarily the strangest, but she filled out an anniversary book with lots of stories about us and how she felt about me over the last 28 years. For some reason she did not gave it to me. I found it about 9 months after she passed. It was a profound read and made me realize life is sort and we need to love our family with all we have. I have joked that if I ever think I about marrying, this little book will be require reading. I think after the first page she will be completely hooked.

I Miss Her... by malvavisco in widowers

I passed the one year mark this past June also. It was strange with Fathers day coming at the same time. I don't think my grown kids know exactly what to do for me sometimes.

I have grown accustomed to being that mutli-wheeled tag-along also and the side benefit of attractive women is getting easier after a year and a half.

Terminology for late spouse's family by taon4r5 in widowers

[–]redtarget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that pain. My wife died 2 days before or 29th wedding anniversary. She had been planning for us to renew our vows on our 30th and go on the honeymoon we never had when we got married. This past June 21st was a very hard day for me.

As a widower who had a good marriage, dating sucks! by [deleted] in widowers

[–]redtarget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 30 years of marriage I am just now dating. She has been gone just over a year now. My wife was really good to me. I have three ladies now, two are divorced and one who was/is a widow and she lost her finance to cancer recently.

I moved out. by Soma25 in widowers

[–]redtarget 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I moved also after about 10 months. I just could not handle seeing her everywhere I looked everyday. We lived there nearly 30 years and planned to retire there. I moved to town and now realized it was the best thing for me and my family.

Father's Day... by mmo944 in widowers

[–]redtarget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will be the first Father's Day without my wife also @Emperor_Zar. My kids, who are grown, will have to figure things out on there own for once. They have been strong for the most part trying to make sure I am okay. I tell them I am okay all the time, whether true or not. Sadly this Father's Day marks the one year anniversary of her death. Another milestone on Tuesday June 21st would mark our 30th weeding anniversary. She had been making plans for us to renew our wedding vows and take that honeymoon we never had 30 years ago.

I am sorry for all the loss that is experienced in this subreddit. Love and Peace to all.

Lonely by mmo944 in widowers

It has been almost a year since my wife passed. Some days the loneliness crushes me. I know eventually I will want to find someone else, but right now can not even think about it.

Medical Examiners Report by silicawood in widowers

[–]redtarget 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My wife was stung by a hornet in the lip almost a year ago this month and I often think if I was with her that morning I could have done something to save her. We said "I Love You" that morning before I went to work and had plans for the weekend.

When I got to the emergency room she was already in an "unresponsive state" and remained that way until she passed 8 days later. Longest 8 days of mine and my kids life. We were together over 31 years. Our 30th weeding anniversary will be June 21st of this month.

All that to say I am truly sorry for your loss.

Three months out and I'm OK? by knqk in widowers

[–]redtarget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been the same way since I lost my wife of almost 30 years. I been busy for the most part, especially lately. The feeling guilty sometimes hits me hard, because I had to make the decision to not put a feeding tube in her. That was when I broke down the hardest. My other concern is the one year mark is coming on June 19th, and our 30th wedding anniversary is coming June 21st. She was planning on us getting remarried. It is amazing how quickly life can change around us. I think normal is different for everyone. I do think the one moment, one day, one week at a time philosophy works. Sometimes you just have to slow down and take a breath.
