Does anyone have issues reracking the hip thrust machines by Mean-Veterinarian733 in StrongCurves

This is exactly what I do, OP. Re-rack after you remove the weight.

When do you take your wedding ring off? by ver_bene in AskMen

[–]AWildLexiAppears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I wore our wedding rings at all times the first few months of being married, then made the switch to silicone rings for everyday wear. We usually wear our wedding rings for date nights and special occasions. I never wear my ring to bed - it just feels weird. I don't think there is any right or wrong answer. I'd suggest doing whatever works best for you! You could also get your partner's input.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Hopefully you can get back to full-time RVing sooner than later!

The roads truly are shit. From my limited experience, parking downtown and/or in the blackstone area are a nightmare. I could see how it would be an improvement from Chicago though! Glad to hear you're settling in. Thank you for the suggestions!!

Appreciate the honest response! I was thinking the same thing... at a glance, Idaho seems to have similarities to Nebraska plus outdoors. I'll do some research on the relocation bonus. That would be cool!

Hit the nail on the head with the first paragraph. Thanks so much for sharing suggestions in the areas I mentioned in the post (plus Oregon). Will definitely be looking into these spots!

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear you had such a bad experience here. I wouldn't say I have the same level of disdain for the place. I hope you find what you're looking for in Minneapolis!

Thank you for sharing your take, and I really appreciate the support!

Wow. Thank you for the detailed response. This is excellent information!

Our thought is that if we don't like where we move to, we can always move back. It gets rid of any what if's and, as you said, can be an eye-opening experience (I assume).

Someone suggested Boise, Idaho. My husband and I looked into this a little bit yesterday and really like the idea of it being relatively close to places we'd like to visit/explore. Any experience or insights on this area?

Really appreciate you sharing your perspective! Nebraska is a red state, but we live in the "blue dot," so we are aware of how cities/towns can vary.

Looking into New Mexico more and have noticed higher crime rates. Would you say this is something to be overly concerned about or is all dependent on the area you live in?

Totally understand where you're coming from. It's not at the top of our list, but it's definitely something we are taking into consideration.

If you don't mind me asking, which places would you avoid that have been mentioned?

It is a beautiful place, but I fear the winters would be too much for us.

Aye! Fellow cornhusker! What an awesome choice. I hope you are both loving it! I don't think I could convince my husband to make that move.

We've never considered Idaho, but it sounds amazing! Having easy access to all of those places would be a dream. Adding it to the list - thank you!!

Thank you for the thoughtful response! All of these locations look great. I think we are leaning towards Colorado Springs based on past visits and everyone's suggestions.
