SUMMARY: Ozempic, originally designed for diabetes, has gained popularity for weight loss side effects. Marketed as Wegovy for weight loss, it is highly sought after, with some obtaining it falsely online. Despite being primarily for diabetes, it is safe for non-diabetic individuals. Some experience side effects like GI issues, but taking it correctly reduces risks. Insurance coverage varies, with a generic version expected to lower costs. Currently, some pay out of pocket for weight loss benefits. The demand for Ozempic/Wegovy is high, with celebrities endorsing it, making it difficult for some diabetes patients to obtain.

SUMMARY: A group of people on East Whitworth Street in Hazelhurst have been patiently waiting for over 20 years for Stephanie Parish's agave plant, also known as a century plant, to bloom. After two decades of being a yard decoration, a stem has emerged and is reaching towards the sky, attracting attention. Although the plant will die after blooming, it has sprouted offspring that will continue the cycle. The process of waiting for the plant to bloom is compared to nurturing a child, and the group plans to invite people back in 21 years for the next bloom. The anticipation and excitement of witnessing the plant bloom after so many years is described as bittersweet.
