Compounding prices dropping with zepbound self pay program?

That particular story has an ending full of relief. I talked with her about sourcing, reconstituting, and filtering, and she went "oh shit, it's actually a whole new skill set and sort of a new hobby. You know what, I love you and I appreciate this, but I think I'm not in a place where I want to fuck around with any rabbit holes; I don't need better skin that badly."

If and when she changes her mind (she's a little over a year into widowhood and is in an 'I don't do anything that comes with labor or complications, I just wake up, have a nice, peaceful, calm little day, go to bed and repeat" place), it'll be with the understanding that this is a thing with a learning curve.

Ive since lightened up, been enlightened reading this board. Anything I try on myself first, id likely share with my mom.
We tend to grow and learn every day...

This is really how I feel about my willingness to even consider all this. Growth.

My Mom is gone. Lost her 2 years ago. I understand what you are saying, but she died from heart issues brought on obesity. If Id have known, I would've possibly extended her time here.

Condolences to all. Lost my Greatest Mom Anybody Ever Had couple years ago who died from lung cancer. This before it was known that GLP's can help with addictions. If she were here now, I'd personally shoot her up...

I feel like grey is one of those things that should be a thousand percent "because I'm interested and have done a ton of reading and have asked questions in the community and fully understand the risks and accept them in a way that's real for me," and zero percent "because a friend I trust made it sound fine."

Hmmm, making me think...thanks. While I would have really appreciated someone I knew taking me by the hand and showing me all this (think of the time I'd have saved!), I would not want them to feel personally responsible bc of that and, by nature, I'd have looked into it myself anyway. However, I guess bc I feel responsible when I recommend a vacation spot to someone and it ends up not going well or not being their cup of tea, I would definitely feel responsible if this went wrong...

It’s why objective and impersonal regulatory structures help everyone. It’s already uphill against resistance to talk about something new, that it’s something unregulated (even if the “system” isn’t working as well as touted) triggers a lot of reactivity, which if they do evaluate the info you give, makes many people tend to misdirect any negative feelings that arise.
