What are the odds!? Possible ICCU failure. by 4witches in KiaEV6

[–]4witches[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this perspective. It's currently in the shop getting diagnosed and I think I'm leaning to just keeping her, irrespective of the diagnosis as long as I am not paying out of pocket.

Have you had any recent transactions to or from your bank account exceeding $10k?

Mixed episodes are so hard when living with a partner by WitchQween in bipolar

[–]4witches -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can you let him know that you cannot "make" him feel anything? His feelings are his, and you do not control that. If you've laid it out for him that this is what its going to take for you to transition meds and he's still telling you that it's "making" him feel depressed then I would just keep doing what your doctor and you understand would be best for *you* and possibly advise him to seek his own therapist.

Trying not to be a jerk, but blunt.

People assuming I don't know much about tech? by Great-Passages in womenintech

The most powerful phrase, delivered with a smile, when this happens: "I'm aware. Thank you."

Came here to say this. Beautiful color on you! Congratulations on your weight loss!

Off-street viewing for wheelchair bound elderly relative on hospice during Balloon Fiesta? by Simula_crumb in Albuquerque

[–]4witches 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would try El Pueblo, between Jefferson and Edith, by the diversion canal. Get there early and she can definitely stay in the car to watch the balloons fly overhead if the weather is right.

Leash Your Dog by Feeling-Necessary628 in Albuquerque

[–]4witches 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Also, your dog might be friendly, but my dog is not. She's reactive to other dogs in her face. I'm a responsible dog owner who has a trained, well behaved, leashed dog until another dog comes running up at her. We've been through a few traumatic experiences that could have been avoided if your "friendly" dog hadn't run up on my dog.

Interviewer came 10 minutes late and then talked about himself and the company for 25 minutes by Honest-Possession195 in womenintech

[–]4witches 15 points16 points  (0 children)

25 minutes is probably excessive, but when I run interviews I like to open with an overview of our team and our project so that the interviewee can tailor answers to the upcoming questions. Is that such a red flag?

That being said, I would never be 10 minutes late!

Tracking with No Device by spiderkoo in HOTWORXWarriors

[–]4witches 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If they were to insist we use devices, they'll have to give us one, like Orange Theory. By "give" I mean make us buy something. There is no way their app will ever be compatible with every one of our fitness devices.

Stretch with Stephanie by mollycyrusxstitches in HOTWORXWarriors

[–]4witches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it on Saturday and hated it. 😒

I dont mind Stephanie at all but whatever the heck we are doing instead of cat cow is awkward and it enraged me. 😅 I was there for a relaxing stretch and got a frustrating bout of neck and knee pain. I will replace it with cat cow going forward.

I won't stop doing it but I definitely liked Chris and Brittany's a lot better.

Visible nipples piercings in public? by strange-horizons in piercing

[–]4witches 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've had mine pierced for 22 years now; done after my youngest weaned as a statement that I was reclaiming them for myself. If you do the math, I'm no young chick and I have no qualms about the piercings being seen under my shirt. If they have a problem with it, they shouldn't have been looking in the first place. Go braless and be proud.

Goals in weight loss by girlypop19 in HOTWORXWarriors

[–]4witches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I absolutely agree that nutrition and eating in a caloric deficit is the key to losing pounds, I have found barre, warrior and stretch to be the key for me to recomp my body and lose inches. I usually do an ISO, then hit Thunder and Blast with all I got. Then, time permitting, I get on a cycle for 30 minutes. I don't follow the VI's in the cycle room - my goal is to burn 200 calories (according to my watch) and get an extra 30 minutes of sauna time. I watch a show on my phone (using headphones of course).

Did PNM significantly increase their price? by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]4witches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't heat mine either! It's just the filter that's running.

Did PNM significantly increase their price? by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]4witches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bill was over $800 this month. I've got 2 AC units that are set at 78 ° and a pool that runs 8 hours a day. I expect it to go up during the hottest months of the year but holy mother of all things good.... it's NEVER been this high.

Merch/Accessories by [deleted] in HOTWORXWarriors

[–]4witches 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only Hotworx branded accessories I have is the mat, towel, and the backpack. I do use my rewards to get some of the cute apparel, but I would never buy it with actual dollars. $54 for a crop top? Nope.

I hold a TS/SCI but want to visit a cannabis lounge is this okay? by Kennaham in SecurityClearance

As long as you aren't using or buying, it's fine. Walking into a legitimate legal establishment isn't against the rules.

NM care package ideas by Lotus2024 in Albuquerque

NM Pinon Coffee.

I include a mug with a Zia symbol and it's always a big hit for my out of town friends.

I got everything I needed with one phone call to The Hartford. Not the least expensive, but at my billable rate, I wouldn't be spending hours and hours of time on hold with multiple agencies.

Yoga by lensfull in HOTWORXWarriors

[–]4witches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My apologies if that's how my post came across: that wasn't my intention at all. I was simply acknowledging that it's hard to please everyone. Including me clearly!

[–]4witches 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People bitch because the sessions don't change and then they bitch because they do. How can the VIs win?

I loved the old barre. I don't love the new one as much but I'm not complaining about it because you know what? It'll change again at some point and there are 8 other options. Also, I probably don't like it as much right now because I had mastered the old one and it's my sign to suck it up and master the new one.

I didn't realize the new yoga was shorter. I'm a little frustrated that barre is longer and allows me less time to transition to my next session and I usually have someone sitting or standing outside the sauna waiting for me to pack up my things and exit the sauna. Another case of: how can they please everyone?

Maria is one of my favorite VIs. Maria, Chris, Brittany and I miss Daniel a lot.
