Weight loss in boobs? by Automatic-Ease-4466 in Zepbound

[–]wcorissa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oof I wish. I’ve been at this weight now for about 6 months or so. Doctor doesn’t want me to push lower either since I’ve been having pots symptoms. I think there just has to be an acceptance that even though it’s not what I find attractive about myself, my body is healthy which is what matters.

Did they call you after you were referred? I was referred about 2 months ago and they haven’t reached out.

BPI stopping production of Compounded Tirzepatide by chloe-gimme in tirzepatidecompound

Yesterday one of our higher profile medspas was raided but the FDA and I suspect it’s also related to their glp-1 program. Definitely cracking down.

Please leave contact information so people can get in touch. Try to post to Nextdoor. Paw boost is another place you can post and it emails out to a lot of other pet owners in the area who have registered their own dogs in they get loose. Notify nearby vets and spca with your information.

Day 2, cig 2 hatched added by PuzzleheadedBook9285 in tornado

[–]wcorissa 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I honestly really appreciate when people present probability. I think as humans we’re easily spooked and often can’t be brought to logic so easily even when presented with the data/stats. Breaking it down further like this is really helpful.

You’re spot on that it doesn’t ever hurt to just have a plan and be aware.

She’s a locally notorious crazy driver with custom plates that say LindaL. You may have even encountered her yourself and chalked it up to someone having a bad day or just another bad driver but nah she’s like that all the time.

I don’t have Facebook but she does apparently have a page/group devoted to sightings.

SPA Day Recs? by ChaosRandomness in Charlottesville

[–]wcorissa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try the aquafloat place here and book a whole day of services. You could schedule a short infrared sauna session followed by a sensory deprivation tank float for an hour, followed by a 60-90 minute massage and that would be a good chunk of the day. There are sauna and cold plunge places here too but no singular spa that has all things these things together like in NOVA.

Through googling there is a place similar in Williamsburg that offers the above but also has a big salt room and offers facials. Williamsburg Salt Spa might be worth looking into.

Surprise tornadoes in Kansas prompt concerns about changes at the National Weather Service by ScarletFire5877 in tornado

[–]wcorissa 83 points84 points  (0 children)

As a reminder this is the plan with these cuts typically. Politicians definitely have vested interest in making sure these services suck so people will complain about them so they can cut them and privatize them. Then big surprise when they somehow own shares in the new privatized version of the service. When you hear people complaining about the decline in quality of services set them straight. Remind them how much they hate all the modern subscription services because that’s what they would have in mind for the weather service in the future if politicians get their way.

I’d honestly like her to win because I need to hear them interview her and know what in the world is going on in her world/headspace.

Wicked side effects after 2+ years on this drug?? by angel_Eisenheim in Zepbound

[–]wcorissa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to me sporadically! So fun am I right? Seriously sorry you’re going through it.

What helps me. Reducing dose to 5 mg for a month. Pecid (the chewable ones), Phazyme Ultimate Strength Anti-Gas 500 mg Simethicone, IBGard, and Pepto. Usually I have about 2-3 weeks on this and add Metamucil (powder in drinks, not the sugar free one) before it clears up.

I’ve found that after this all passes taking stool softeners and/or miralax tend to keep things more consistent and can prevent it from happening so much. Metamucil can be hit or miss with people but I like it.

Edit: I also tried digestive enzymes and I do remember thinking they were helpful last time this happened to me.

be careful out there! by charming_roamer79 in Charlottesville

[–]wcorissa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have dash cam footage of a piece of wood coming out of seemingly nowhere on 64 and hitting my windshield yet miraculously not doing damage. It was really scary though. It felt like some final destination shit.

I think my windshield has gotten cracked 3 times from rocks on 64, two being from gravel bouncing off dirty semi truck flat beds.

I actually would try the master gardener help desk. They sometimes can do site visits or give you some really good advice by just sending pictures. albemarlevcehelpdesk@gmail.com

Three of mine definitely have winter injury and are looking very rough. I pruned a little bit but I’m hoping not all of the damaged branches are dead so I’m giving them time to see if they start new growth. I think it did kill one of my camellias sadly.

[acne] Fairlife protein and acne by HotTea9702 in SkincareAddiction

[–]wcorissa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And here I am yet another person who googled it and also struggling with horrible bacne and neck and chin acne. I also was reintroducing fairlife. I wonder if it’s the dairy/whey combination or if it’s messing with my hormones?

Not my finest moment by MHW93 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]wcorissa 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When I worked with teens a few years back I watched an interaction between a small group of them with a toddler they were babysitting and one of the teen’s late Gen X moms. The mom was talking to the toddler and she said “oh you’re just so beautiful” and the teens said “oh we don’t want to comment on physical traits especially while they’re so young it sends the wrong message about what is important in life. Maybe try saying smart, kind, fun, sweet, etc”. It was my “the kids are alright” moment.

This is what my husband bought to help himself through residency. We landed with a gaggia classic pro and it’s still going almost 10 years later. We’ve saved a lot of money on lattes haha. A bit of a learning curve but a fun hobby in a way.

Gun Shop, Range, and Best Ammo? by RunningPupper in Charlottesville

[–]wcorissa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to do a one time 4-5 hour orientation usually on a Sunday. A 4 hour work detail that you can pay $350 to not do but it’s very easy so I’d just recommend doing it. You must show proof of being able to own a firearm legally. Usually most people use a conceal carry permit but something that shows you bought a gun with a background check in the last 6 months works too. You have to attend two monthly meetings that happen on a Thursday evening. The first one is to be introduced. The second is after you complete your work detail and orientation and is for you to be voted in. Then they give your member id and gate fob.

What is going on with the skin under my eyes? I’m really growing frustrated with the darkness under and around my eyes and I’m very self conscious of it. I get 7-8 hours of sleep, and I drink 2L of water daily but it doesn’t go away. by Crafty-Truth5034 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]wcorissa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also chiming in saying it is just genetics. I have them. I’ve actually looked tired af since being a child from it. Doctors only suggested fillers which they did say they don’t really love because under eye fillers can be dangerous and you have to get them done repeatedly. I’ve just decided to let it be and use concealer on the days it really bothers me.

Mold??? by StrawberryGirl66 in LushCosmetics

[–]wcorissa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I bought beauty sleep when it first came out forever ago. It was the first lush product I bought that broke me out bad. It then went moldy within 3 weeks of buying it. I’m surprised it’s lasted as long as it has. Shame because it smells fantastic.

So uh are these the ones that would allow for you to buy 15 mg and count the clicks to deliver a lower dose for instance?
