Humalog and Lantus.
I've also used Levimir, Novalog, Toujeo, and Bassglar.
What constitutes good prices? How quickly do they get used up?
3 vials or about 4 pens each month. $40-60 on CL (well before everything dried up.) Those are roughly the same prices I'd pay for Canadian juice.
Best I've seen semi-locally is this https://cincinnati.craigslist.org/hab/d/franklin-humalog/7162708472.html at $20/vial, though it's a good way away from both myself, eastsideTim and wae and my general understanding is that the area South of Dayton is a bit sketchy.
So, a really minor rant that is bothering me way more than it should:
My new used appliance (2012 mazda6 bought last summer) is having MAJOR clearcoat failure anywhere it had accident repair. So, all four doors, front fenders, hood and bumper.
This shouldn't bother me, but im working on washing and waxing it today. For the first time this year.

I feel like you're the sort of guy who would enjoy covering a car in bedliner. Now is your chance!

Unfortunately, this is the mileage sponge that has to look "professional " for work.
Think I can limp it at "professional at 20 feet" for a couple years yet. Hopefully. Theres an alarming amount of bare basecoat already. If it gets too bad, ill paint the damn thing in my driveway. Orange. Bright berkeleying orange with a blacked out hood. And ricer wing. And cheap coilovers!!!
Nah. Cheap silver base, decent clear. Its actually otherwise a really nice car.
Let's see what my endocrinologist says next week before anyone goes on an insulin quest on my behalf in the Land of Sketch.
I care about getting married and what it means to us, but Covid has gutted our plans and compromises of compromises, that tomorrow's wedding has little meaning to me any more.

So save the big celebration plans for your first - or third - anniversary.
Come on. He’s a troll. Why do I engage?

Because 85% of the people you will encounter every day live in a bubble that is about 5 feet in diameter. If it does not directly affect them, usually physically, it does not exist.
That was pre-wuhan. Now it's 12 feet in diameter.
Nope. It is now about 3 feet in diameter, because it's all made up.
I was in an inexplicably good mood yesterday until someone pointed it out. Now I kinda feel bad about it.

That's going to happen. Sometimes you'll point it out to yourself, too. It's OK to feel good and it's OK to feel bad and it's OK to feel bad about feeling good. You've got a huge emotional backlog to work through and it's going to be like that for a while.

Because sometimes there is stuff put out by trolls that you just can't let go unchallenged.

Well, even if it isn't they way you wanted it to be, congratulations! I hope today goes well for you.
In reply to Duke :
Thanks, buddy. I appreciate that.
In reply to Wally (Forum Supporter) :
I've struggled with that issue. When I'm in a good mood, and I notice it, it usually goes south. What have I done to feel this good? I haven't. I don't deserve this. Or I feel good, well, what horrible crap is going to happen knock me back down to where I belong.
I still struggle with self acceptance and self love.

My wife and I got marred by a Justice of the Peace. We are still planning a great big reunion/reception to let everyone meet each other. Congratulations on your day.

My brother is an inattentive driver. He's wrecked the last three cars he's owned, totaling his last one. Now they're in a new place, new job, across the state. One car between them because young and poor. He called this morning, crashed. Poor little rav4 has a radiator that got bent too far and leaked out. The car should be ok, but he's not a mechanic, has no money, and I'm here on vacation and dont have tools. They don't know any local shops. I'm gonna be stuck buying a tool set and trying to fix this. Not sure I can get the radiator out without releasing all the Freon. And it's hot out.
In reply to barefootskater :
Maybe letting him sweat will help him pull his head out of his ass? Rig the radiator. Don't worry about the AC.
In reply to Appleseed :
Well that may be the only option. None of the local parts shops have a radiator in stock for a 97 rav. I'd like to help out, but I can't replace parts if there are no parts available.

"Across the state" puts you where? Any chance way north?
One of the medications my dad has to take is $56 a dose. He takes once daily.
That seems.... excessive
