So damn useful. I've found a reason/need to strap people things down in the bed nearly every day for the last week.

It will increase life, if they are dimmable LEDs. The enemy of LED life is heat, taking even just a bit off the top will make them last much longer. "Hey Siri, set the garage to 90%."

Well that blows, find another doc? I have more non-appointment interaction with mine than appointments. But yeah, in general I'm going on my own with medicine, and our 15+ year PCP is now being shoved out of his practice at end of year.

What info did you use to decide on that usage? Just that it would stop working when you didn't take it? Doctor advice? It does seem like long term usage is OK, and also that some people get semi-permanent relief with cycles. Shit's dirt cheap, so the only reason I have concerns is any unexpected medical concern. Obviously, tirzepatide is a permanent thing for me if I want to live. The other GI remedies are less effective and require much more usage.

I don't know if you've ever looked at the connectors on my line lights? They come in 45 degree, 90, and straight. You can make the shapes that would allow. I can't say whether Dave's specific kit has all of those, you can buy them as needed. My kits came with some of all of them, but I had to buy a few to make specific shapes. In case it's not obvious to some, this is common in detail and paint shops because the specific hex shape helps show any defects.

It will be interesting to see if the 14 day usage results in long term improvement when I stop taking it. Also shortly after posting, I said fuck it and started taking it. So far, zero episodes of dyspepsia. Yesterday I decided to push it with a heaping amount of jalapeños in a lunch with other challenging foods, nothing. This weekend I will be further abusing my GI tract with both food and drink. No noticeable side effects so far.

I thought of you this morning as I was changing out a hose that was leaking. Teflon tape meant that this fitting, so old that it had corroded through from the inside and was spraying, came off with two fingers. It was 48 degrees, fucking retarded cold. But the water was kinda ok. I think the warmer ground makes it come out warmer than the air. And nice truck.

This is why I posted here. It can mean there's danger, or as Mike said, could be that you shouldn't cover up symptoms of a larger issue. Today we learned that ultra low fat dog food is RX only. Can't buy it. Why? One of the above I would believe.

Yesterday I did the yearly maintenance on the vacuum cleaner for the first time, and learned that it's five years and six days old. It needs a brush motor, and had a five year warranty.

That's how this was installed, it's super effective and "easy." I say it that way because it took a bunch of measuring and marking, and planning, but the job was not hard. Just requires thought and taking your time. I had to replace a couple that died and the tape came off easily (it's the 3M pull-to-remove stuff). I have a lot of my lighting and other things on these Apple Home compatible switches. Dirt cheap, and means any device can control them. "Hey Siri set the shop to full brightness" or "Hey Siri turn on shop lamp 1." Or if they are dimmable lights, you can get a dimmer version (these are just on/off). https://amazon.com/dp/B084JHJBQT

I was just musing on this yesterday. I ordered something fluffy and soft. It was in a box. Which Amazon put in another box, and "protected" it with said crumpled paper. Though in this case they barely put in any crumpling effort and it was mostly just paper. Luckily, my fluffy soft item was still fluffy and soft, not broken. Use teflon tape on all garden hose fittings. Thank me later.

This works, now to make a prettier, permanent version. Propane annoyances have already commenced. I was doing the propane exchange machine at Sam's, $20 each. After the first, it says it's out of inventory, fuck off. Sigh. Ok, so next day I swap cylinders and go out with two empties, fill at U-Haul. $16, but have to stand around waiting. The employee was fun, friendly, and efficient, so there's that. She laughed her ass off at my shirt. So, we will see how often it needs a new tank. When I got it, I had two empties and one partial, so no idea on usage still.

LOL, so a standard 14 day course? Or...? Interesting overview on the product you're also taking: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/reflux-gourmet-7aYTye5kS3aOQNxD7PE68w#0

An hour or two of research leaves me unsure on whether to try this for general dyspepsia as a side effect of tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound). I get a general sour, burning after many meals and even some drinks. There's no solid pattern of WHAT the intake is. Meaning that it's not just common triggers like very spicy foods, or particularly rich foods. Sometimes it's just a light thing, and sometimes eating a flaming hot burrito does nothing. While the side effects of short term Omeprazole usage seem low, they also have so many warnings about only using it short term that it makes me worry slightly. But I'd only use it as directed, or possibly shorter term. I've seen some evidence of results in 7 days instead of 14. Anyway, experiences and thoughts requested. Also, @Zero Knievel after all this research I'm very certain YOU should be using it for the things you complained about in another thread. I think @RXX recommended it? I'd listen to that advice. I'm just uncertain whether it's my best choice.

Well, yours are actually funny and contain proper grammar and spelling so no.
