Leaving early? Name your price! I want to surprise my girlfriend who got really into Tool last year but can't afford it at full price, unfortunately. Figured it was worth a shot.

I've got a doctor's appointment today and I'm thinking of asking for a more in depth panel. I've seen people talk about thyroid levels trending hypo and zinc levels getting low so I'll start there, but is there anything else worth getting? Especially with having had periods of undereating (I've improved this recently but it was concerning before).

Are there any PMDD related labs to get? I just saw another post here from a woman who saw improvement and it made me realize I have too!

Porch swing? Hammock chair? Is there anything you find almost as comfortable and relaxing in a smaller size? Or should I just stick with my pretty-comfy outdoor couch? Curious if there's anything that comes to mind for my fellow hammock lovers.

As for the weight, I know everyone says "body recomp", but truthfully, I have not been eating enough at all or well. I'm working hard to fix that. I don't work out either. But I've gone down a pant size in the space of like 2lbs. Is my body really making muscle, or is something else going on?

Secondly, the main reason for my less than ideal diet and probably too severe calorie restriction is food repulsion. When I'm not actively desiring a food, it makes me ILL to try to eat it. I'm talking gagging the whole way down. I'm not kidding you guys when I say I'm seriously looking into feeding tubes.

Maybe I should smoke some weed...

:(((((((

EDIT: I made this confusing when I first posted it so I've tried to be a little clearer. And thanks for your responses so far. I definitely have a better understanding now.

So I'm trying to file my 2024 taxes. I just used freetaxusa for my 25 return and it all went smoothly. But only now, after I got through most of the software AND paid them $90 (I worked in 5 different states so $18 state returns x5), did they tell me I would have to complete the ID.me process to file electronically because they need me to have a PIN. I believe ID.me is a privacy nightmare, so I will not be supporting that. However, I would still like to e-file. I spoke to an IRS agent today who said that these requirements from freetaxusa are not something coming down from the IRS directly.

Also, freetaxusa is not letting me e-file any of my state returns either. It says that I would have to e-file my federal return in order to be able to do so.

So is this universally true, or could I use a different software to e-file without a PIN? Has anyone had this experience? Any luck getting a refund?

Any advice welcomed. Thank you!

Am I gonna be screwed out of my deductible/any settlement for my injuries? My car was totaled and is covered through my collision coverage. I also have uninsured motorist, however, I guess I did not have personal injury coverage. Not sure what happens now, any advice would be appreciated.

EDIT: Meant to say my collision coverage, not UM. Sorry for the confusion

I'm wondering how much I should cooperate with the other person's insurance if my insurance is already trying to settle my claim with them for my totaled car. They told me that since I have witnesses and since they blew a red and hit me on a solid green and then fled the scene immediately, that the other insurance is going to have to provide some definitive proof to suggest that I am at fault. My insurance didn't even seem concerned with any potential dashcam footage? I may have been speeding ~10mph when the accident happened, and I'm worried that if that comes to light that I won't get my deductible from them, or worse, end up owing somehow? (10% of my cars valuation would be $860 and my deductible is $500). Or by fleeing the scene did they accept full fault?

Also, does fleeing the scene impact settlement for injury/general damages?

Any guidance here would be much appreciated.

I have a reaction to every antiperspirant I try, and no natural deodorants actually work to prevent me from smelling bad. Only thing I've found to work is washing with soap or wiping with 70% isopropyl alcohol and then immediately following with some glycolic acid. Neither the body wash I have or alcohol seem to fully remove the odor though.

Recently someone put me onto hibiclens and it has been pretty miraculous, giving me multiple days of low to no stank. I keep it at 1-2x a week. I know it's basically repeatedly nuking the flora on my armpits but it's the only way I've been able to feel confident that I'm not walking around serving food to people at work while smelling bad.

I have however seen some random comments on reddit saying this is a bad idea, or that it's a recipe for getting MRSA. Is this true? Or perhaps more of a risk to someone using it daily? Are there risks I should know? Thanks for any advice.
