Starting to see lots of ads promoting Wolverine (BPC-157 + TB-500 (more likely TB4, according to many) as an oral supplement. I understand how BPC-157 could theoretically exist as an oral compound. It by definition survives in the gut. But TB? Even if it were enteric coated, wondering how the molecule - which is quite large - would be absorbed into the bloodstream. Please, someone who understands the science better please walk me through it.

Is there a store in Chapel Hill, Carrboro or Durham selling Russian and Ukrainian foods? I am really jonesing for some Siberian pelmini (steamed ravioli) since I moved here in February. Back in Nashville, there was a store run by some Ukrainians that had some, but I have not found anything similar here.

Hey Kids,

My partner and I are going to celebrate our commitment to each other on October 31 in Nashville. We want a photographer to document the moment and get some good candids in what is going to be an otherwise intimate, family affair for two people who are polyamorous and pansexual. Unfortunately, our top SIX choices are all already booked. We might be willing to help someone add to a young portfolio if we share the same vision for what we want. My DM’s are open. Send me leads. Pitch me. No reasonable offer will be refused.

Thanks 🙏

I am beginning my peptide journey and have decided on KLOW for the added benefits of GHK-Cu for collagen production / wound healing and KPV for inflammation. I’m doing this to address a 2 year old shoulder injury that has had multiple setbacks in PT this year. To be clear, I am continuing PT to get the benefits of loading the offending, partially torn tendons (superspinatus, subscapularis and biceps tendon). This experiment is an adjunct to see if I can get a better long-term outcome, which would be a pain free daily life. I’d kill to be able to play fetch with my dog again, but that is just a dream.

I plan to dose the KLOW such that I get 250mcg / day of BPC-157.

Once I have achieved my recovery goals, I plan to quit taking this.

Is 6 weeks long enough to carry out this experiment? What is the argument for continuing to supplement this after recovery from the acute injury?

FWIW - M 58yo 5’8 180 / 172cm 80kg on a statin and blood pressure control, some arthritis but no other chronic issues.

Professor Claude has helped me with some research on peptides in the wake of the FDA news this week. I wanted to understand how to differentiate between players in this space. Claude gave me these questions to follow up with a potential partner. Apparently, I can’t use certain words that were in the questions, but there were twelve specific ones related to testing. Each of 8 players who appeared in my FB feed all passed all 12 question with desktop research (not actually acquiring anything) They all use the same 3-4 labs. So how does one differentiate?

As a follow-on, Clause said virtually all peptides are made in one of 4 massive factories in China and that US players take bulk product, then lyophilize/vial it and on to the researcher. I suspected this was the case, but I’m curious if anyone else has researched this?

Can anyone recommend a reputable place to get an iPhone screen replaced. Out of warranty so I don’t care if original or not.

For those in recovery, we have established a new 12-step based meeting based also on Buddhist principles. We lean into meditation and open discussion, neither of which require prior experience. We call it “Spiritual Lines” and we are a sangha (community) exploring growth along spiritual lines (11th step) open, safe and welcoming to LGBTQIA.

Hive -

My partner does not live with me. She stays over a couple of nights a week and we travel together pretty frequently. Our sex life is awesome.

She has two NP, one is her GF of 21 years and the other a man to who she is still legally married but has not been romantically involved with in 13 years. Her mother lives with them.

This weekend, we were casually talking about how little “safe space” quality time she gets with her GF. Today, our daily reading urged us to look at challenges from a different perspective. So, I set an intention for looking for creative ways to help my GF be able to have more quality time - stress free sexy time - without taking any time away from the two of us.

For me, this is part of a “trust the process” thought exercise. If I come up with something, everybody is better off. If I do not, I lose nothing.

So what have you got?

Four five engines passed me on Estes at Sewell School Road about 7:45 this evening. Now at 8:30 I am hearing a lot of sirens. What is going on?
