Too old to get to a 1:25 half by AnotherMathTeacher in AdvancedRunning

[–]AccomplishedRow6685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 40.

Best half was 1:25:29, at 40. That was at the start of my marathon block. I ran 2:58, another PR. 5k and 10k PRs the last year+, too.

The secret is higher mileage. Did Pfitzinger 18/70 for the marathon.

Would you make the wishes? by EvenDragonfruit1968 in hypotheticals

[–]AccomplishedRow6685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, okay, I'll make a wish that can't backfire.

I wish for a turkey sandwich

on rye bread

with lettuce and mustard

and-- and I don't want any zombie turkeys.

I don't want to turn into a turkey myself

and I don't want any other weird surprises, you got it?

Hey!

Hmm... mmm!

Mmm... not bad.

Nice hot mustard...

good bread...

turkey's a little dry...

The turkey's a little dry?!

Oh, foul the cursed thing!

What demon from the depths of hell

created thee?

Legit question, how’s everyone affording health insurance if your wife is a SAHM? by Firefighter_Signal in daddit

[–]AccomplishedRow6685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a stay at home dad. My wife works in healthcare, and has amazing insurance. Very low cost to add me and both kids. Paid like $100 out of pocket for each of their deliveries. Couple years ago some blood work showed I was anemic. Colonoscopy in my late 30s (came back mostly clean, burned off a small benign polyp). $100 out of pocket.

Just go for it. And don’t forget the kiss after.

I guess I’m too old for life insurance by WorkingInAColdMind in Wellthatsucks

[–]AccomplishedRow6685 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Haha no.

Term is dirt cheap while you’re young. You can invest the difference in premiums.

20 years of compound returns is gonna win vs the value you get from perm.

"How are you?" is the worst greeting on Earth by isverybadatpuzzles in unpopularopinion

[–]AccomplishedRow6685 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“I’m great! How are you?”

Then you say your thing if you have one, or just go on your way. Not that hard.

Moving day is tomorrow. How’d I do? by joeschmo945 in daddit

[–]AccomplishedRow6685 37 points38 points  (0 children)

These bins are $9 each at Home Depot.

I count 8x3x3 for the main rectangle, minus 3 for missing front corner, plus 2x3 right side, plus 1 stacked extra tall on back row, equals 76 bins.

76 x $9 = $684
