I started my HRT a 5 weeks ago and my tirzepatide almost 3 weeks ago. I lost 4 pounds with the HRT alone and another 8 in the first 2 weeks on Zep alone. This third week, though, the scale has not moved at all. Not one pound. Is that normal?

My high schooler wants to start babysitting, but she doesn't know where to set her price. I haven't needed a sitter in quite a few years, and I have no idea what the going rate is. I saw Care.com is $22-30/hour. Is that reasonable for a high schooler? She was thinking more like $15-20. What are you all paying now?

**Yes, she is infant and child first aid/cpr certified, all the babysitting courses, Girl Scout PA trained, etc.

Now that journeys are gone, are the LIA badges gone, too?

Sorry for the repost. My previous title was not specific enough.

I have a pre-teen who has decided that she wants dark romance novels to read. Her sweet father took her to Powell's to pick out books, and she came back with a very adult book that I confiscated. I am clearly not allowing my 11 year old to have that particular book. Try again at 16, kid.

What I think she is actually wanting are fairy tale retellings and YA/middle grade levels of dark with a romantic subplot but not rape in the fae dungeon.

I have gotten some of the best suggestions from this group, so I hope you all can help me out.

Do you all have meals you enjoy doing over the fire or on an outdoor camp stove? I am taking a small group of rising Cadettes tent camping for several days. I am letting them do the planning, but having a few base suggestions would be great.

I saw the post about "just take the meds," and it is speaking directly to me.

I graduated high school in the 90s when being skinny was everything. Since graduating at 107 pounds, I have now nearly doubled my body mass. I am also in full perimenopause, and that sucks.

I have gotten rxs for both Zepbound and HRT. They arrived at the same time. I am now dithering about it and stressing myself out. I worry about long-term side effects of the Zep (I have been reading about frozen stomachs, impactions, etc). I worry about starting two brand new medications at the same time.

For those of you on one or both, how has it been for you? I would particularly appreciate feedback from anyone with kidney or migraine issues. I know this is not specific to GenX, but now that we are all middle-aged, it is probably a lot more common.

My husband really wants a soft serve maker. The one he wants is 200-something dollars. We have the ice cream attachment for our KitchenAid. Do they make a soft serve attachment? Does anyone else make one that would be compatible with it? What are you all using for soft serve?

TSPC is making me nuts with wait time, and I would really like to get started with a summer cohort. I have a non-education BA, and I have taught in private schools for years. I am ready to do the masters and be fully certified now. Because I am in a terminal wait pattern with TSPC, I am crowd-sourcing the question.

Have any of you all gone through an out of state, fully online program? I can go through ACE or WGU for a really reasonable cost, but I don't want to do that if it will not be considered an approved teacher preparation program by the state. Please tell me about your experiences.

One of my Girl Scouts is doing her Silver Award project on making note-taking easier for students with learning differences. She is specifically interested in "non-Cornell" (her words) strategies, resources, and reasons why it works. I have given her outlines and graphic organizers. What else would you tell an 8th grader who wanted to present or publish a short manual on the subject?

Do you all know if the local cemeteries are doing flag placement on veteran headstones for Memorial Day? I have found the sign up for the event at the Willamette National Cemetery, but we would love to join something closer to home.
