re: Lilly’s Retatrutide Phase 3 Results- 28.3% body weight lost
Posted by tes fou on 5/21/26 at 11:00 pm to Hou_Lawyer
12mg holy shite. Maybe not as potent or they’ve figured out the side effects but I’m diabetic, if I don’t take meds I’ll wake up with blood sugar at 400 without eating or drinking a thing.
I went from .75 to 1.5mg of a GLP1 and I can hardly stand the combo of reflux and feeling like general dog shite.
These massive doses people take to lose weight have got to be brutal.

Talent at the one in Houma was mediocre last time I was in town, but the beer was ice fricking cold. Astonishing how many places can’t even get that right. Still sad when you remember 20 years ago when hooters was absolutely stacked with OT 8’s and up.

Mixing poodle and other dogs can be a bit of a crap shoot. The good ones are great the bad ones are a huge pain in the arse. My parents have had standard poodles my entire life, great dogs, smart but a lot of Energy and smart enough to cause trouble, we’ve had ones that can open doors, turn faucets on to drink etc.
I had one I got from what I’d assume was a trailer park breeder in MS met them
At a gas station in kentwood and gave them a couple hundred bucks. she lived 17 years, healthy as an ox, was brilliant, sweetest dog you’d ever meet, i could let out of my place uptown on Magazine just open the door she would run out and do her thing and come right back wouldn’t leave our yard. I have another family Member who spent thousands getting a standard poodle from a super well known champion show dog breeder, he’s a basket case, health probs, behavior problems, aggressive toward kids and other dogs all kinds of issues.
I’ve got a half newfy half poodle that’s an incredible dog, his older brother was even better but died from cancer at 5. I fostered a half sheepdog half poodle, he was the worst of both breeds, high strung, tried to herd everyone, tried to kill my kids pet rabbit, ate his own shite, he was a mess. Sweet as can be, but a total pain in the arse.
I’ve always wanted a purebred golden, love them, always said I wouldn’t because of the hair, now I have a purebred newfy in my house. Amazing dog, messy as shite. Hair and slobber everywhere. Burns up at least one Dyson a year.

re: Does USAA have better insurance rates and service, generally speaking?
Posted by tes fou on 4/27/26 at 9:09 pm to CatfishJohn
I had State Farm until around 10 years ago I switched to USAA. Had home and autos with their insurance for years, then they suddenly decided to double my auto rates so I switched, kept homeowners for a year or two and they hit me with 50% jump. Ended up at State Farm saving a couple grand per year. Shop them every time but not competitive anymore.
State Farm just hiked my rate 10% on home two years in a row, Allstate is quoting $2k less on home, similar on autos, everyone else is pretty comparable to State Farm with a few outliers on the high side.
Never dealt with Allstate and have heard some negative stories but it’s almost $2200/yr total savings going to feed all the quotes into AI and have it break down the coverages etc for me. Also State Farm has been pushing for 1% wind and hail deductible which in TN is my primary risk, others are offering $1k-5k deductibles with similar premiums which are much more palatable.

25 years ago we would cruise up and down the blvd, go to broadway, hell I didn’t carry a key to our house in surfside because the door was never locked. We didn’t know how good we had it, we just stayed out of MB proper for Memorial Day weekend and the rest of the year no problems at all.

re: Popeye’s Franchisee files Chapter 11. $130M in debt
Posted by tes fou on 3/24/26 at 8:02 pm to BamaCoaster
Says they had 130+ stores, $1mil per store isn’t a bad debt load if they own a substantial amount of the property, I’m going to assume based on the filings saying they’re trying to get out of their leases they don’t.

The ones up here in Tennessee suck arse in general, but sometimes I still suffer through the experience for the flavor.
The last time I went to the one in Houma they were ballin out, food was fire hot, they were filling drive thru orders lightning fast, didn’t make a single person pull up. It was shocking to see.
Just makes you think, If you had Popeyes food and chick fil an employees, holy shite you’d be rich.

Also, just looked it’s 70k per year to go there I guess that’s a bargain compared to 90k at wake or duke but Christ, when I was growing up there, high point was about as prestigious as the university of phoenix online.

re: Tipping requests are out of control

I learned a great lesson from Reggie Fountain once, we pulled up to Joe's Stone Crab during the Miami boat show, there was a mob of people out front, hours long wait, they opened the car door, and as we hit the front door in stride they called out his name "Mr Fountain your table is ready". Every single employee greeted him as we walked through, I thought it was magic, then as we left that night he gave a $20 handshake to every single employee he passed on the way out. If you want to be a regular at the hotest spot in town, you just need to be a little bit generous.
Past few years my wife and I have to take my son to see a couple of doctors 3 hours away around 8-10 times per year, we stay in the same 5 star hotel every time and I throw a 20 at every employee I see, front desk, valet, bellman, everybody.
Every employee there knows my entire family, they treat my kids like royalty the entire stay, go out of their way to provide great service. My wife once asked the front desk about a type of cookie they removed from the room service menu, they confirmed they no longer offered them, 20 minutes later there was a fresh batch in my room at no charge.
To me its a small investment. It makes a trip thats not very pleasant for my family and especially my son less stressful and pleasant.
If you're staying at the Hampton Inn by the highway for 1 night, using a digital checkin, frick those lazy bastards I wouldn't tip them either, but if you're staying somewhere nice, and especially if you're gonna be coming back, be generous to the poor bastards who spend 80% of their time getting bitched at over trivial crap they don't control.

re: How long were you in the hospital with your newborn?
Posted by tes fou on 3/18/26 at 12:25 am to AZTiger7072
Just over 24 hours on #3 a few weeks ago. Wife is former nicu nurse, knows what to say and do to get the hell out of there.
few pro tips:
baby doesn't need you, baby needs mom, mom needs you
-my kids were born very small, popped right out in a few minutes once the pushing started, the lead up to the pushing could be 10 minutes or 10 hours it will likely be in the hours, don't walk in the hospital starving, dying of thirst and empty handed, once you get there if shes getting anesthesia she won't be allowed to eat, plan accordingly/get a snack on the way if you have to
-couch is uncomfortable, bring a pillow and blanket from home
-the cafeteria food in general is not edible, plan ahead to get delivery or run out nearby and grab meals/coffee/snacks
-bring a small bag with toothbrush etc, shes going to bring a ton of shite most of it she won't need, but a fresh change of clothes and toothbrush will get you by
-I grabbed some snacks from whole foods and picked up dinner a few hours after last baby was born. Got one of those insulated cooler bags at whole foods and snuck a 6 pack in with dinner, made watching the game from the recliner in the room a little better.

I was invited to a private VIP event during the final four one year, mostly celebs and corporate execs, the on air talent from turner etc. Don Henley had the nerve to stop a tell everyone in the crowd put their phones away “because he doesn’t perform for free on youtube”.
My buddies and I look around the room filled with c suite folks from Turner, Coca Cola, ATT, Capital One, Shaq, Grant Hill, Barkley and all the other on air guys from turner and on and on and one of the guys finally says, who the frick does this a-hole think he is? I love their music, but I’d never pay a dime to see that tool in concert.
I saw a video the other day, some music guy on YouTube saying the eagles will be completely irrelevant to the next generation due to their refusal to allow their work on digital media platforms like YouTube. I immediately thought he right and good, cause f that piece of shite.

re: Do they have any adult hockey leagues

My kid wants to play hockey. Started skating lessons at 3, $180 for 8 week sessions. Public skate passes for extra practice $30 each time we go. Skates for me, $300(last time I got skates was in middle school), skates for him $80 first pair, $120 second pair, already outgrew the first pair, helmet $80, gloves $100, hockey shorts, $75.
Somewhere around $2,000 and 2 years in I have a 5 year old who is a proficient skater, working on his backward skating and ready to buy another couple hundred bucks worth of gear and put a stick in his hand.
He’s played multiple other sports etc and we went about 6 months without skating due to other commitments. He’d be fully proficient in skating if we hadn’t had that break but I’d have spent another $500+ as well.
Not an affordable sport. Our local rink (we live in TN) posts their power bill on the office window for everyone to see, it’s $15k in winter.

Yes I have used EAA for Xplan for several years and once you join eligible once the waiting period passes, no catch simple to generate a pin.
Some dealers will negotiate better than xplan but it gives you flexibility and a guaranteed deal.
