I know one guy that has it and it's knocked him out for a couple of weeks now.

I still don't care enough to isolate any more than I already do, but I at least know it's real, I guess.

re: Required password changes

Posted by shaqazoolu on 5/21/20 at 5:20 pm to
The reason this is a requirement is that teams like mine get into client networks all the time because 50 morons out of a 500 person company are using "Summer2020!" as their password and just rotate through seasons. It realistically could be a choice between whining about having to use a password that doesn't suck versus having to find another job.
There is maintenance involved, but it's not bad if you keep up with it. If you let it get out of hand, you'll probably want to fill it up with dirt though. We put a pool fence around ours to keep the kids out of it and it's done well. If we have a bunch of people over one day when we're allowed to do that again, we can just take the fence out and it's a normal pool until I put it back.
Being able to go wherever I want whenever I want without having to pack half the house.

It's temporary though. Once they get a little older, we'll be able to do stuff like that again, it'll just be more expensive.
Mine has received $504....and $107 of it is from me lol
I just bought a Purple mattress for my son a couple of weeks ago. It won't blow your mind or anything, but it's pretty comfortable.
I work from home as well and my wife does not. We have two nannies that split shifts and both of them are female. One is a grandmother from Spain and the other is about my age from Cuba. Make the criteria solely about how well they handle the kids and there is literally nothing else to it. Just man up and have the conversation. My wife is the one that chose the ones we have and there have been no issues with trust.

It's also most certainly not cheaper than daycare.
Soooooo, an office? I think we've come full circle.

Your doctor seems unique from my anecdotal readings. Many doctors don't seem to want to touch Armour with synthetic on the market. A lot of people are desperate to get on Armour.


I try to stick to doctors who don't default to cramming prescriptions down your gullet. This guy wants me back on bioidentical stuff really badly, but I feel no different and I'm not paying 4 times more for something that's 0% more effective. I also take probably a dozen other random vitamins and supplements, some of which are thyroid support related, which is their preferred method for trying to correct things. I'm pretty sure I could stop taking all of this crap tomorrow and not feel that much different, if any, but if I do, they'll stop trying new things and just keep whining about getting back on vitamins.

Have you tried the standard synthroid (levothyroxine) and/or cytomel?


I've been on Synthroid before, but not Cytomel.

I'm really intrigued by the personal anecdotes of people on Armour. Who prescribed that to you--a GP or endo?


Not sure what they'd be considered but it's come from a few different docs over the years. I've been on several different types and none of them really do anything for me, not just Armour. I only ended up on Armour because the place where I was getting it was a compound pharmacy doing bioidentical stuff that insurance wouldn't touch. There was apparently a global shortage of whatever they made that stuff with a few months ago and they switched me to Armour in the meantime. Insurance pays for Armour and it is equally worthless, so I just stuck with it to save cash. I'm up to 3 grains a day. I spent some time on 4 for a bit but that made everyone nervous (and still did nothing for me).

Anyway, most recently it was these guys that have been prescribing it: LINK
Been on various thyroid meds for probably 10 years now. Currently on Armour. It does nothing for me.
Best: Jaco, Costa Rica

Worst: Estes Park, CO - mostly because I got sick as soon as we showed up and spent the entire time trying to keep my toddler from killing herself on the staircase. Was also probably the first time we traveled on a plane with her.
If it's in the kitchen, check to see if you have some undercabinet lights that just have burnt bulbs in them. That one took me a while to figure out too.
I've done 21 days on only water before. Was the start to the healthiest year of my life. Lost 39 pounds. I do 3-5 days at a time about once a month.
It's gonna be a while. You'll most likely be on crutches for 2-3 months at which point they'll probably try and make you go to PT like 9 times a week. I'm guessing it was probably like 6-12 months before I could walk without nagging discomfort.

Nokona pays them too, yet they have a very low adoption rate. They're good gloves, but you don't get to a 59% MLB market share by making an inferior product.


Louisville Slugger would like a word.

ETA: My glove was (and still is) Nokona.
Wow, I was just there last night having dinner with a couple of people on my team that are in from out of town.

re: Coffee Maker Recommendation

I have a different model Ninja coffee maker than the one you linked, but I too set mine the night before and wake up to a fresh pot of coffee. I've had it for about 2 years now and I have no complaints.
