O

Or Portland

Ding, ding, ding. Not in Portland, but close enough that those are my local TV channels. 🤦‍♂️

 

[dragonrider]

Now I'm even more confused, the guy

Wait until you figure out how to make a dump of the forum on your computer and run it against a local LLM, it's like voodoo magic for finding answers quick 😁

ooh thanks for this idea! I wonder how hard it is to do that?

It's not that hard if you're good with computers, but I doubt it'll be a good idea if I post how here and people just overload the site lol

Well, I tried DMing and that isn’t working. So I guess I am asking in the first post that came up on my Tesamorelin search. I got my Reta order in at AMO and it’s shipped. Can’t wait till it gets here! I am now also in a buying group….thank goodness! But they won’t be buying Tesa and IPA for a bit yet, I keep checking every day. I did my first peptide order ever domestically so that I can get started. Had no clue the vials were so small. Started freaking out until I talked to my very knowledgeable contact on Reddit and also in the buying group I was invited into. He has helped me soooo much to understand all this peptide stuff. Totally wish I would have known about this years ago! Anyway he told me that my 10mg/3ml vial will only last me 10 days. So I need to get more before it ever goes live in the group. AMO doesn’t sell it 😭. So what is the second best reputable place to get it from? I have saved the Google docs. But ya’ll that have been on it for a while and have bought it outside of a group buy….where is your favorite non domestic vendor to get it from? Thanks so much in advance. I promise I did try DMing the boss man in this GLP1 forum. But he hasn’t replied. So I move to a group chat/channel/whatever you guys call it here 🤣. FYI: I wasn’t told to come here either….read the chatter….was just searching for info and the search brought me here…..thank goodness! Also I was told QSC. But have seen negative comments about them in these forums….. Help please so I can place an order ASAP!

Sorry, I read this twice and I'm unclear on what exactly you're looking for. Tesa?

Have you checked the Vendor Connection section?

Thank you so much!!! 🥰

Nope. No clue. But the one that posted below you showed me how. Thanks for the intel! 🥰

Oh yeah, sorry. It was for Tesa.

I didn't get here directly from amynurse's generosity, but do want to send out some love and appreciation. I like the vibe here--happy to see that lack of self initiative is not really tolerated. That's half my day at work--did you even try to google it before wasting my time with that question? My RS is eager to switch to a new study protocol, plenty of conceptualization left to do yet. But yeah, thanks for the empathy for compounders left out to bloat!

I think that is also why I get frustrated lol. Worked at a high volume IT help desk for end users for a number of years and the calls I'd get for the most basic stuff🤦‍♀️ So many of those calls were me just reading off the instructions to them that they already had access to.

The amount of times my company's IT has been rendered speechless by 'I've already restarted the program, and when that didn't work I restarted the computer....'

And then tell me to do it again because they don't believe me.

I can go on about that too. Not all help desks are useful, the internal IT at my company was and still is absolutely useless 😂 I would send them step by step instructions on what exactly I needed that I couldn't do myself because I dont have admin credentials and they still fudged it up.

But you would be surprised at the sheer number of people who think putting their laptop to sleep is the same as a restart, or they don't know how to properly close a program. I never bothered asking if they restarted, I'd just check their uptime (I'd remote on immediately after answering the call) and I can tell you that at least 60% of the time when someone told me they restarted their uptime was actually like 20 days... So the people like that are the reason IT doesn't believe you lol.

Edit to add: There's also a HIGH turnover when it comes to end user support compared to other aspects of the IT field. A lot of the time they have no idea what they're doing and don't last, which sucks for the end users.

This, definitely this too. And then have to escalate after 20 mins of the things I've already tried. 🥴🥴

Im 100% always going to try to fix something before asking anyone for help, especially before calling IT!
I'm more of a lurker in other forums. Far from any kind of SME, but quickly get nearly infuriated... "what do the lines on the plastic thing attached to the needle mean?" "I injected an hour late, am I gonna die?" Yes. Yes you are bc u definitely should not be in this field!

I worked at Home Depot in the garden dept back in the day and 80% of the time a customer asked me a question about a weed killer or insect spray, they just wanted me to read the label for them 😂

Customer: Picks up a bottle of clearly labeled poison ivy killer... "Can I use this for poison ivy?!"

Working in a pharmacy as a teenager way back in the day was great too. "How many of these can I take?"

I was a minimum wage cashier, the pharmacist was right there, should you take acetaminophen OTC at all if you can't even figure out who to ask?

I pay for telehealth, too. But it's also my HRT provider, so that one is a necessary evil, lol.

Who are you using for HRT? My doctor isn’t great and need to go telehealth.

I found my own way here as well. It wasn't hard. I'm a Gen X'er and grew up on forums, so I just googled "GLP forum" and voila, here I am 🤣

GenX forum lover here, too. I haven’t been on one in ages, it’s so…. nostalgic.

Thanks. That’s who I was considering. I have an HMO, so I’d have to be cash pay for the visit, but the bloodwork and meds would be covered by insurance. I figured I’d use MIDI for as long as necessary and then persuade by PCP to pick up the care.

It's a good company, especially if your insurance will pick up some of the extras.

You didn't find /u/pontarae/ on Reddit I take it? His account eventually got rugged on Reddit, but while he was on there he shared his sheets for source info.

Pontarae is also @dionysos on here who maintains a Google sheet on sources. Visit his profile here and you'll find some interesting source information sheets for both state-side suppliers and .cn suppliers.

Just wanted to let y'all know that I caught a reddit ban for sharing this forum link in PMs last night. So, I am unable to respond to messages over there. I feel so bad that people are thinking I'm ignoring them.
No good deed goes unpunished, amiright?
Anyway, enjoy this wonderful forum...I'm so glad this place exists for us 💖

i’m so sorry you got banned. but i’m definitely so grateful you did it. it’s very much appreciated!! with myself AND two young adult daughters on the meds it will be impossible to purchase after the first of the year. our insurance company has decided the purchase price will no longer be applied to our deductible (which is already a ridiculously large amount). so thank you!!

I found my way here due to Zip’s profile. To me that’s a subtle way to help people. Although we discovered last week that he has a subreddit as well. However it’s small and doesn’t appear active. So I’m not sure what he wants for this forum. I’m just wanting to protect our sources. We lost everyone’s favorite in March, and they had been frequently named on Reddit.

I agree with what you’ve said on this post. I found my way through breadcrumbs. I put in effort and read a ton. Curiosity led me here. The craziness on Reddit right now is bad. So many impatient people that bash things with Reddit megaphones instead of taking a breath. I see lots of posts mentioning grey and if we get people who don’t want to read, panic because not only is there not two day shipping, but it can take weeks and it’s not a good idea (or necessary) to repeatedly email vendors about orders, this is definitely going to become a bigger target than it is now. You can’t stay under the radar if you market to the masses.

Recently I answered a question on Reddit about Reta. That turned into DM requests wanting to know my source. If you respond with an answer you can get banned. I’m not risking my account or my source, so I had to ignore.
