All the heads ripped off from an old scrapbook I found except for the one who is still alive?

Made in the 80’s. Probably in storage since the 90’s. Found if like this recently.

Would an oncologist just tell you he will no longer treat you?

And is transitioning you to end of life care? So you switch hospitals and find another oncologist? I would think an oncologist at a top hospital would do anything they could if the person is still completely aware and looking healthy? Also would have a discussion with you about options?

My coworker is online (green) but if I message her it’s doesn’t show read and she doesn’t respond?

It only shows a check mark not that she viewed it. She doesn’t respond to others either. So is she just not checking even if she is online? We only have it on our computer not on our phones.

How do you love someone you’ve never met?

I am noticing this a lot on social media. Influencers who are physically or mentally ill. They have thousands of followers who say they love them. “They are the most genuine person”. You actually know nothing about these people. Regardless if they are completely real, you can’t know that for sure if you have never spent any time with them or know anyone who has. If you’ve never even had a correspondence with them. It’s so delusional to me. Also I notice this more if the person is attractive also.

My friend who says she has been hacked for 10 years is using this guy?

She said the guy who runs it is a top investigator. Seems there is a lot of info on him and interviews on YouTube but I can’t find any reviews.

She isn’t anyone. Just a normal middle aged woman who said her phones (iPhone hacked, got a new one and it was hacked so now she uses a burner phone) home phone, computers, emails, ring camera all have been hacked. She has to pay him up front and he did a first phase of the investigation which was a 50 page report and they say these are people who know here well that are hacking but they don’t know who. Now they are doing a second phase but it’s been a months and there are no answers yet. C

Lurker 2025. Watched it and had some questions?

I thought it was interesting but found some parts confusing.

Why did they leave him in London? Was it because they thought he pushed his coworker off the ladder?

If Marty seemed to like the notoriety so much why didn’t he respond better to being recognized?

Why wasn’t his coworker part of the group anymore? He seemed to be injured and you don’t witness him there until the end.

Did he place a camera in Oliver’s house without them knowing?

What was with the wrestling scene?

He was blackmailing them later but was Oliver ok with that in the end because he liked the paint ball video (he said earlier he wanted to be emotional?) and he liked the documentary?

Was the end an illusion?

I gained most of my weight back while on Mounjaro?

I can’t find anyone who has actually done that? I lost 30 lbs while on 2.5 and 5, and 7.5. Total 6 months. I stopped for a 2 months because I was so sick with the combo of that and Metformin. (Only gained 5 lbs back at that point). I stopped Metformin a year ago and started. I stopped Metformin and started Mounjaro again. For about a year I maintained the same weight. Now in the last few months I’ve gained most of the 30 lbs back. Seemed to happen after going up to 7.5 and now going up to 10 mg which I’ve been on for 8 weeks now.

Is that even possible? Why would I gain on a hire dose? Or is it all from eating more carbs than I usually do. I have hypothyroidism but my most recent test shows my TSH level is the best it’s been in years. I tried going back on Keto and I’m not losing. It’s like I am stuck and can’t lose again.

Can you get a bad batch?

My friend had one month of feeling sick the whole time. It started with the first shot of a new box (same mg she has been in for months) and lasted all 4 doses. When she got her new box this month she has been fine. So she thinks that box was a bad batch?

Why do they always end the season this way?

It’s anti climatic because everything is fine or pulls through even if in the hospital. When was the last time they killed off a main character in any of these shows?

What happened to Clay?

He sounded so off key. He couldn’t hit high notes. I remembering him being great back in the day. I guess he just didn’t keep up his vocal lessons? I mean you need to. It’s an instrument. But this was a huge difference from what I remember. And I’m sure rehearsals weren’t great so you think they could have used some auto tune.

I went back and watched some other recent clips from Christmas songs he sang and he didn’t sound great there either way

Can you be a great singer and lose it completely?

I happen to come across Clay Aiken singing his new song on the American Idol finale last night. (I checked out the studio version and it’s a great tune and he sounds good) but live he sounded terrible. I decided to go down a rabbit hole and watched some performances from recent years where he did Christmas tunes and he didn’t sound that great in those either.

I know your voice is an instrument and you have to keep taking lessons and working with it but there is such a huge drastic change from Idol to recent years. Or maybe he could never sing that well and there was auto tune involved. I don’t know but I surprised with all the technology they didn’t use some type of tuning last night. I mean I’m sure he knew it wasn’t going to be great from rehearsals.

If I go on my insurance at my work can I still use my husbands insurance if something isn’t covered?

I am on his which is BCBS and I take Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes. If I go on my insurance which is United Healthcare and they won’t cover Mounjaro can I still use his for it? My goal is not to depend on him for anything anymore. His job and he isn’t stable. I am 51 though and don’t make enough to live on my own. I just need to make some kind of plan though.

Is it normal for 5 or 6 year old kids to not have any empathy?

I never had kids so I am only going but friends and family kids. My nephew (in kindergarten and will be 6 in a few months) is an only child. He doesn’t seem to have any empathy. It’s all about him only. I know that kids are selfish and they don’t know much better but if anyone is sad or hurt themselves (kids or adults) he is blank. Doesn’t show any emotion. He doesn’t seem to care either.

It’s only about what he wants. He will cry and manipulate to get it also. He says very hurtful things also to his mother. Sometimes me. He will hit or threaten to. He won’t help anyone. Not even if you ask him to hold something or hand someone something….he won’t. He will just drop things on the floor and rarely pick them up. He will clean up his thing but mostly if you bribe him. And he usually comes up with a reason not to. “Clean that up before you take the other toys out”. He will say things like. “But I really want both out”. “I am going to use both of them together”. “Mommy I’m making a fun game for you and me and we need both”.

I took him to the park and he promised he would leave when I said it was time but then he wouldn’t. He said “I tricked you”. Then starts with the “I will leave only if you buy me a toy”. We talk about compromising and he says “I don’t compromise”. Finally I tell him that I am no longer taking him to the park and then he says ok I’ll go but we have to have a race. Like he has to be in charge. Then once we are home he is wandering around outside when his mom wants him to come in. He also doesn’t want us to talk about him. Funny things he says we can’t repeat. “Don’t say it!” Like he is almost embarrassed. A kid stole his book in school and my sister bought it up in front of him and I. He got so upset. And didn’t want her to tell anyone.

He almost seems like a teenager now. He rolls his eyes. The other day I was telling my parents (his grandparents). To get Apple TV because there are a lot of good shows and movies. My nephew says. “That YOU like”. I said “what do you mean that YOU like? And he says. “Because you like dumb things”. Then he is annoyed with someone he will say things like. “Will you just stop!”

Several times I have thought about something and then I get an ad of a video about it come up on TikTok or FB within 24 hours.

This isn’t someone I said out loud or Googled on my IPHONE. Thoughts only. Nothing anyone said or typed. Remembering and old song or movie. A past news event. Coincidence maybe if it was once or twice but it happens all the time.

Thoughts on Clay Aiken’s new song?

The beginning has a very generic 80’s pop sound that I feel would have been a radio hit in maybe the late 80’s. But the chorus I think is really good. The bridge is generic also. I think the main parts of the song are blast in the car material. Do you think it could have any success?

Send help. I enjoyed it but?

I’ll start by saying the movie was fun because they both were great it in. I didn’t realize what a great actress Rachel McAdams is. You really wouldn’t know how beautiful she is in real life by the way she looked in this. (The unwashed hair at the beginning really made her seem unkept) And her character was so unlikable that she didn’t look any better later (at least I didn’t think so) even though she was supposed to.

Was the point though that we were supposed to root for Linda in the end because he was a mean boss? I mean she was a delusional psychopath. This day and age I feel like movies try to portray that what happens to these men are deserved no matter what and women are the victims. But I guess we can also watch it as if she became obsessed with him. Maybe it’s supposed to be ambiguous. But the ending to me made it seem the message was she deserved that outcome of being rich and famous because she was treated unfairly?

Is it strange to keep your child in the house with you and not make plans with his friends?

Please no cliche “it’s none of your business”. I’m just asking because I was never a parent and I am allowed to be curious. Our parents (his parents) worry also. She shares custody with the father (never married).

He is turning 6 in a few months. When he is with his dad he is always doing fun things with his cousins (all around his age) and family. When she has him she now stays in the house with him and plays. (Drawing, building, puzzles, occasional tv etc….). She used to bring him places and want to be with family and friends and now it’s only if we have to pick him up from school if she is working. Or possibly letting us come over for an hour and then says. “I want to be with my son now” and has us leave.

The only time they leave the house all weekend is to go to the park for a short time. But she doesn’t want anyone else going with them because she wants to be alone with him. He wants me, his grandparents to go but she won’t let us. Unless she wants us to take him because she has to cook or clean. No movies, museums, restaurants. She won’t go anymore. And if she lets us take him (which is almost never now) she won’t go.

He is mostly in the house with all of his toys, markers, papers everywhere. He can go to birthday parties if invited but only his current class friends. Preschool parents from last year invite him and she won’t take him and/or he doesn’t want to. He also now doesn’t want to do anything anymore. Just the park and home. He won’t do any sports, swimming (and he loved swimming when he was 3 and 4). No karate, gymnastics. He can’t handle if he isn’t the best or winning at something. But with his dad he is having a lot of fun. Pics and video his dad sends to us (my sister won’t let us respond or she says we betrayed her).

When we were 5 and 6 (and my husband and friends also) nobody recalled staying home all the time playing with their mom. We were outside. We had plans with friends (and parents didn’t hang around either) we went to dinner, we went to museums, amusement parks).

Lost 40 lbs on Mounjaro and gained most of it back while still on it?

2.5 mg and 5 mg of Mounjaro I lost the weight but was also on Metformin. I stopped Metformin because I just never felt well on both (was on Metformin for years before) and within a year gained back weight. I moved up to 7.5 mg and now on 10 mg but still gained. Can I lose again if I watch calories and carbs?

And I rarely tear up from TV shows and movies. Anyone else agree this is one of the saddest episodes? It’s my dad’s favorite episode and I would always call him whenever I noticed it was on. When he regains the will to live when his daughter is crying and hugging him is a great scene.
