This one is my favorite & doesn’t make my skin feel like it’s on fire haha

Accenture called it. Black coffee as strong as you’re comfortable with

PWC not trying to die - but thanks.
Ugh coffee with our creamer and sweetener is 🤮

Coffee is the way to go. The effective ingredient in all those pre-workouts is just caffeine, and with coffee, you don’t have to worry about it being cut with meth or dirt or snake oil or whatever it is they’re putting in this week.

Check out American Bodybuilding Speed Stack. Been drinking the low sugar grape version for years (female fish 🐠 here)

No prework needed. It’s just unnecessary stuff. Black coffee works fine. If you want some carb to go with it, have a 🍌.

Anyone looking at traveling to Costa Rica? They have a list of states from which they will admit tourists while also requiring a negative covid test, health history, etc. As someone not on the approved list, I am bitter and curious why the population is grouped at a state level when there are massively different rates of infection within each state (not to mention personal responsibility) and you are already required to present a negative test. Any idea how often those lists get updated?

Any tips on how to improve lining thickness? My RE had me on Estrace for a week before starting Prometrium (vaginally) a few days ago, but my lining is only a little above 5mm.

This will be the 3rd transfer cycle that’s getting canceled, it just really sucks...what’s worse is I didn’t see my doctor today, just the sono tech, (cont’d)
