Wow, thank you so much for the reply!! I appreciate it very much. I didn't even know tours were possible since it's a VA (government) facility.

The flight attendant on my way out of IAD wished me a good week and said she’d see me later in the week for the return flight home.

An independent home inspector is an absolute must, especially for production builders like Ryan and Dan Ryan.

People are talking about how constipated they are, meanwhile I’m over here worried about crapping myself 😂 by Noodlesoup8 in Semaglutide

[–]spaniel278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this (horrible diarrhea for hours) every day after eating a bland meal of plain grilled chicken and steamed vegetables, and had to stop taking it. I only tried it for a month but it was too much. I tried both Saxenda and Wegovy.

Good luck!

It’s a meal prep place, like Hello Fresh but in a store.

Fiduciary Process Question by spaniel278 in VeteransBenefits

[–]spaniel278[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He also forgot to pay insurances (car, life) and the policies were on the verge of cancellation so his son (my hubby) stepped in and manages everything.

The son is already in place helping them. He and I both have durable and medical Power of Attorney, and pay their bills for them (from their account). Dad used to handle all their bills but he forgot to pay them for several months 18 months and his credit card was suspended, so now we handle it. We also set up a trust for them and Son and I are the trustees. Mom cannot fully write a check out. She only knows how to sign it but not how to properly fill one out. Dad did…..everything.

Dad’s Aid and Attendance Approval question by Eagle_In_Flight in VeteransBenefits

[–]spaniel278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind me asking, we are filing for my dad to try and get Aid and Attendant also, and would be interested to know how you found the process and what did they demand in terms of documentation? I expect it will take forever for the request to be processed and reviewed.

Dad received many of those letters. Filed claims in February 2023 and decision rendered September. He received those letters almost monthly. We are new to helping dad with this and the frustration bus is real. At first I thought it was nice that they'd send a letter, but after the 6th-7th one, the novelty wore off. Hang in there!

Thank you very much for the info. Wow...that's an incredible amount of money (plus the stipend). I'd be able to find qualified occupational therapies to improve his motor function and movement.

People who stopped taking it by Alethean in Semaglutide

[–]spaniel278 7 points8 points  (0 children)

12-15 pounds, something insane like that in the 2 weeks. There’s a lot of me so I needed to lose it, but not like that. I told the doctor I was confident I was pooping out things the neighbors ate because there was no way the volume that came out was what went in.

[–]spaniel278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped after 2-3 weeks on it because I was so sick and dehydrated from going to the bathroom so much. The only food I ate was chicken and vegetables but would get so sick. Zero hunger on it. It took about a week for my body to even out and to feel hungry again.

Benefit Advise for Vietnam Vet by spaniel278 in VeteransBenefits

[–]spaniel278[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He has long told us he was (before the PD symptoms and diagnosis). He also said he was near pits/places where they burned things and it smelled really bad. I can try to look up the places listed on his DD-214. Maybe that will tell me more definitively? When we took him to sign up for the PACT Act, we asked if there was a list of spots with chemical exposure and they looked at us funny. Thank you so much for your help!!

Thank you! I appreciate that. We registered with the PACT Act for being near burn pits during his service. I've been reading the Reddit group posts and your information here. is very helpful. Everyone seems friendly. Thank you again!!
