I've found the Grove patches to be superior to the Mylan ones, as they're smaller and stay fitted longer. Regarding the peak/trough thing, your offered data points kind of reinforce my thought that I "burn" through the medication faster than most.

I have a refill on the way right now and I'm really hoping they're not Mylan. They don't allow me to specify.

Allie, I get it. Upping your dose is a powerful feeling. I found it thrilling.

Again and again, as in your last post, I can see why your family is so supportive. They don't want to lose you because you're top tier. I pity your brother, I truly do.

NCAA can't cave to anti-transgender hysteria and fear like NAIA did

https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/marriage/ncaa-can-t-cave-to-anti-transgender-hysteria-and-fear-like-naia-did/ar-AA1nEGSk?ocid=windirect&cvid=cb14ccacdb7c4754a7dd880daafbeb42&ei=39

Opinion by Nancy Armour (25 April 2024)

The NCAA must have the courage, and common sense, the NAIA lacked.

The NCAA's Board of Governors meets later Thursday and is under heavy pressure to ban transgender women, as the NAIA did earlier this month. But to do so would give in to the fear mongering and misinformation that would have you believe transgender women are overrunning women's sports, snapping up trophies and scholarships and relegating cisgender women to the sidelines like they were before the passage of Title IX.

Though the NCAA doesn't publish the number of openly transgender athletes, it's believed to be between 30 and 40, said Anna Baeth, the director of research at Athlete Ally, which works to create safe and supportive environments for LGBTQ+ athletes. That's out of the more than 523,000 NCAA athletes who competed in Divisions I, II and III in 2022-23, the most recent data available.

Do the math, and that works out to less than 0.008%.

"We are talking a very, very small number of athletes," Baeth said.

But demonizing transgender people, transgender women athletes in particular, has become the new favored blood sport of the right wing.

No proof. No facts. Just ignorance and hate.

GOP governor signs law allowing anti-LGBTQ+ foster parents to take in LGBTQ+ youth

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/gop-governor-signs-law-allowing-anti-lgbtq-foster-parents-to-take-in-lgbtq-youth/ar-AA1nEUZe?ocid=windirect&cvid=cb14ccacdb7c4754a7dd880daafbeb42&ei=35

Story by Molly Sprayregen (25 April 2024)

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R) has signed a law explicitly allowing anti-LGBTQ+ foster and adoptive parents to take in LGBTQ+ youth with no provision to take into account the young person's wishes on the matter.

S.B. 1738, called the Tennessee Foster and Adoptive Parent Protection Act, states that the Department of Children's Services (DCS) cannot require a current or prospective foster or adoptive parent "to affirm, accept, or support any government policy regarding sexual orientation or gender identity that conflicts with the parent's sincerely held religious or moral beliefs."

The legislation emphasizes that the state cannot take a parent's beliefs about LGBTQ+ identities into account when deciding on the placement of the child because "such beliefs do not create a presumption that any particular placement is contrary to the best interest of the child."

For the past ten years, DCS has had a policy requiring children to be cared for in a way that  "promotes dignity and respect for all children/youth and families inclusive of their gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation," as explained by the Tennessee Lookout.

Molly Quinn, executive director of OutMemphis, an organization that works with homeless LGBTQ+ youth, said it's "really sad" that the needs of the "high volume of LGBTQ+ kids in foster care" are no longer being met.

Well I bought chicken, 1kg thighs and 1kg legs. 1.6kg have gone in a chicken masala and the rest (3 thighs) are in the freezer. Also got some whole sea Bass and pork lion chops to freeze as they were reduced with tomorrows use by date. Lion chops are great for stir fry sliced thin and I have a sea bass curry recipe.
 Talk about getting held up, idiots driving at 34mph in a 60, temp traffic lights and folk who dont know how to drive GGGRRRRRRRRRR. At lest I got round the supermarket no bother.
