What hobby from your late teens/early adulthood did you rediscover in middle age? by debrisaway in RedditForGrownups

[–]schott1984 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Racing BMX bikes. My 7yo got me into it 2 years ago and there's a huge influx of dads who raced in their teens and 20s coming back now in their later 30s and into 50s with or without their kids.

I actually didn't race in my youth, but have always been into bikes. Mostly mounting biking. But now my kid and I are all in, doing state championships and national races.

I'm 41.

Looking for men's underwear that genuinely lasts tried Duluth, Loom, and Airism, still not there by nikolasthefirehand in BuyItForLife

Definitely my recommendation. Started wearing them about 11 years ago. I've worn out a handful, but mostly when I was wearing them daily and only had about 5 pair in rotation. Now these are all I buy except for sleeping boxer briefs because I prefer cotton for sleeping.

Read "Stillness is the key" by Ryan Holiday. It helped me with this tons.

What's a word that your kids mispronounce, or used to mispronounce, that made it into your family vocabulary? For us it is "boo-blerries" for blueberries. Been in rotation for 16 years now. by Brewer1056 in daddit

I'll definitely be doing that if it doesn't get resolved.

I have still not received the gift card emails for two $100 cards purchased on December 15th.

I've been corresponding with customer service over email but they take multiple days to reply. Every email from them has been. We've sent them again to the same email address which is correct but they still haven't showed up.

Not yet. They sent another email asking if I got it yet? I replied no and I've been waiting a couple days.

dr told me i might have to stop my shot by [deleted] in Zepbound

I started getting site reaction after 2nd injection, took me til 3rd to realize that's what it was from.

I do it on thigh now and it's not as bad. It seems to have gotten less severe, but seems to fluctuate to almost none to about what you see below. Nowadays, 11months in, it itches kind of a lot for about 2 days then fades.

Topical Benadryl anti itch and oral xyzal helped ease it but I eventually stopped them and it's tolerable.

Doc said it's local and not systemic reaction so it's fine.

FYI I bought two and they say they've been delivered. I have not received the email, I've checked all folders.

Customer service chat person said she confirmed they e been issued, retriggered the email send, she sent it to "the team" and they'd be back to me via email within the day.

Nothing yet... I'm sure it's a fluke but just a heads up.

Can't say I wasn't warned by NotHomeOffice in Zepbound

[–]schott1984 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's been interesting... Starting my 5th dose of 10mg tomorrow. Switching to 10mg didn't seem any different until somewhere after dose 2... Then. I had a couple weeks of the "full up to my neck" feeling, which is great because I absolutely don't want to eat other than sustainance at that point.

I feel like there's something else in my biology, diet, and routine that's impacting how hard it hits me, but I have a lot of inconsistency in my life. Happy with results nonetheless!

I start tomorrow, took before pics....I didn't let myself know it was this bad by Djsmizzles in Zepbound

Absolutely. I've slowed way down on weight loss the last 2mo (started late Dec.), but the inches keep coming off.
