No, work in the medical field though.

Bad title. Rybelsus is already a GLP-1 approved oral medication. This is Novo Nordisk’s first oral. Says that in the first line of the article.


Rybelsus is an oral GLP-1 that is already approved for DM Type 2 (and now CV event reduction). Rybelsus is made by Novo. But the title is correct in that this is the first time semaglutide oral version obtained an OBESITY indication. Previously it was only indicated for DM. Im sure providers have been writing it off label for obesity before this announcement. You also have to wait at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking anything after taking it.

Lillys new oral medication, if approval happens, will not have the dietary restriction.

The trigger is spongy, the feeding mechanism is catchy, and the stock is flimsy. It’s fairly accurate for a cheap rifle though. I’ll be looking to get a higher end rifle next season. It’ll be fine for a backup or an extra when I have guests come to the camp.

Kiffin posting about Whit on social media again


I wonder if Kiffin got choked up when he introduced himself to his new team?

re: Is having kids worth it?

I wasn’t sure I wanted a child for most of my adult life. Now that my daughter is almost 7, I often think about how I could have been so close minded and ignorant to how awesome having a child is. She is my best friend, and I wouldn’t want to think about life without her. But the thing is, you don’t know this feeling before having children, it’s just one of those things you have to experience: you can’t verbally explain it to someone. If you have the means and you aren’t a total lunatic, most people will not regret the decision in the long run. I sometimes do regret not having more children.

Did Whit speak at the meeting. They generally have a player or two that talks to the group.


I hoped he didn’t get choked up introducing himself.

I just wasted 45 minutes of my life looking for the original post. Couldn’t find it.

Paging whit to see how he’s doing. He’s probabaly still trying to process the trauma of that event. I started a new job recently and was afraid I was going to pull a whit when introducing myself to the team. That event gets in my head everytime I have to do public speaking.

You are the man! Really appreciate this.

We recently bought some land in southern MS that Whitetail properties was listing. We had a really good experience with them. No issues at all.
Why can’t the implement the strike zone box to determine balls/strikes? The ump would still be needed for other things: hit batter, calls at the plate etc….
Cardio is important to burn calories but more efficient for cardiovascular health. Lifting weights burns more calories than cardio due to continued muscle growth. Cardio (speed walking is a great exercise) 3x/week. Weight lifting 5x/week.

Aren't we finding out now about severe intestinal blockage and hair loss from Semiglutides?


These are in the full prescribing information and were shown in the phase three pivotal trials.



Typically serious side effects are elucidated in longer term phase three trials with a higher number of participants. But there’s no way to know what the effects of extremely long term drug use are unless you completed a a 10 or 20 year phase 3 trial before seeking FDA approval. That doesn’t make a lot of sense. If serious side effects are seen AFTER approval and they are serious enough, they will pull the drug off the market, see Raptiva.

I would also argue that antibiotics and excising and treating cancers could be considered cures as well (possibly organ transplantation)

Forgot to add, my wife had Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2009. She received the proper “modern Pharma” treatment and is alive today and healthy as a horse. Without modern medicine and Pharma, she wouldn’t be alive. She was cured of cancer.

We ended up making a deal for the 3 sportsman’s condos and one wooden stand already on site. Considering either this FB guy or splurging for an Antler Shed for the final stand.
