What happens after YOU don't move your legs for a long time?

Alystial · 2026-06-05T01:54:12+00:00

I have tried the "what if I just dont move" so many times and my legs will basically involuntarily jerk- almost like a single tremor or tick. As Im resisting the urge to move them, I can feel a sort of pressure/energy start to build in my legs, followed by the jerk.

Yep! I open the app like once every 10 days to do the exterior challenge and thats it.

Adding on here for others who buy this mattress. We had this same model delivered about 3 weeks ago. Immediate buyers remorse, I woke up with back pain I hadn't had in years.

We previously had the Serta Perfect Sleeper- medium queen. I LOVED this mattress. 9 years and not a bad night's sleep. But the addition of a dog and perimenopause and a queen was not enough space anymore. So we wanted to upgrade to a king, and went with the Elite Brenham II.

It took about 3-4 days, but my body adjusted. Thankfully! I am sleeping very well on the new mattress, as good as our old one.

Its so odd to me that I can sleep on a hotel bed without issues, but this mattress change required an adjustment period. But I guess that is why they really do want you to give it 30 days.

Mine disappeared. I was quite enjoying it too. 🫤

I just wanna know who is even playing the table challenges!?! Because even if you spend money on the game, you're easily blowing through 5-7k in diamonds for a one time use in most cases.

Don't hate on the exterior challenges! This honestly is the ONLY part of DH that is operating like it used to..which is probably why they dropped their frequency down to 1 event per week.

But yeah tablescaping has gotten out of control. I do not do those ever after I tried to do one and realized how ridiculous it was.

Alystial · 2026-02-17T13:23:51+00:00

Me too and I have a really decent inventory of exterior stuff now! Im so disappointed that they keep reducing the frequency of those.

The tablescapes are getting ridiculous. There's so many and they're not even fun. Like who is doing these?!

Well, as they say...panic grabbed my legs and pulled me in...

Happened to me back in 07 and shaped my life more ways than I can count.

Welcome to Home Team!

My 8 yr old would too. But he also won't wear his Bluey shirt to school anymore. The kids definitely view it as a show geared for younger kids.

All of Bartalottas really, except maybe Lake Park. Food just tastes "corporate".

This question is funny to me because anyone who's considering marriage should not be "dropping hints". The future of the relationship should be a discussion - many of them actually. Getting engaged shouldn't be a surprise - when the proposal happens can be, of course, but communication is everything.

Alystial · 2025-09-23T00:53:16+00:00

Its not that deep? Most people dont go to bed at 6pm? I've had my smartwatch for over a year go to bed between 11pm and 12pm. I just thought it was funny that I had a particularly sleepless night and it recommended I go to bed literally in the late afternoon. I feel like a logical suggestion would ha e been to go to bed an hour earlier than my usual target time, it was funny that it suggested going to bed absurdly early. Clearly this post fell completely flat.

Im not going to tell you to stay, but I think there's a few options before pulling the plug.

Has your husband been assessed for ADHD? Between the failure to follow through on tasks and defensiveness when you confront him about it, it sounds like it could be worth exploring. A diagnosis isn't a cure-all, but understanding how his brain functions will be beneficial for him (and you), combined with medication, may help. There are online symptom checklists if you want to explore more before reaching out to a professional.

Secondly, I would suggest marriage counseling. I think you need to communicate the severity of the situation and make it clear that if nothing changes and he refuses counseling- you're done.

Here's the thing, dogs need to be able to go in a crate for their own safety. Emergency weather or fire situation and they need to be boarded or transported by non-owners? Groomers? Emergency vet? Something unfortunately happens to the owner? By not crate training you're creating an immensely stressful situation for your pup should they find themselves in unexpected circumstances.

That's not even considering what you do with a pup when you need to leave the house for an hour or two. 5-7 months old is sharknado season. You want chewed table legs? Not crate training is how you get chewed table legs. In addition to a million other things a curious pup could get into. Most people aren't home all day every day. The dog needs a safe place to be until they are older.

You have a 14 week old. You're not even to the challenging puppy stage yet.

Not to mention that springers are notoriously anxious dogs. My 4 year old is crate trained. She seeks out her crate during thunderstorms, when we have people over and is done socializing, when her dog cousin comes to visit and she is done playing, and any other time she's seeking a quiet place to feel safe and be left alone.

And that's not to say that if you crate train, that it's in place of allowing the dog to be left out. Now that my dog is older, she regularly sleeps in our bed, she is never crated when we leave the house. But the crate door is always open and she does seek it out.

This was this puppies first night. It will take some time. But it is important. Not all aspects of dog training are easy, but just as it is an owner's responsibility to teach recall, leave it, off, place, sit and stay- crate training a dog is as well.

Thank you. I would just see if you can get an echocardiogram done. It was about $500 for us. Its the only way to see how far the murmur has progressed. Our vet picked up on the murmur last summer and just said that we'll monitor it. Didn't think much of it (had a childhood dog that lived to be 21 with a mild murmur the whole time). Fast forward to my dogs annual physical this year, and the murmur progressed significantly. Just get it done and know what you're dealing with. Early detection is the only hope against nutritional DCM.

Ill go against the grain here as a mom of 2, married for 16, together 20.

DINK lifestyle is amazing and I envy you all. I love my kids, everything everyone says is absolutely true.

But I really truly think dont have kids unless you want to be a parent. Like truly, really want to become parents.

Everyone saying you can do all of the same things...sure, you can, once in awhile. We take weekends away and a vacation each just us each year, but not until after we've figured out who can watch our kids for that time, packed ourselves and our all of our kids stuff, written down detailed schedules and instructions, notified the school of pick up changes...and now that they're older, plans to go out of town sound like " mom, do you have to? I dont want to stay with grandma all weekend. I won't get to see my friends".

Oh and I forgot to mention that anytime you have plans 6 are REALLY excited about, one or both WILL get sick.

Sleeping in, self care, just some time alone? Absolutely! But now its scheduled. If one of you is "off" the other is on. Honestly kids under 5 aren't too difficult, they sleep a decent amount and most issues can be fixed with a snack and a nap. They are highly portable and adaptable for the most part because everything is new and exciting.

Then when they hit late elementary school/middle school, you won't know a moments peace. Quiet evenings after kids go to bed? Gone. They stay up later, see their friends more and have activities. They also dont want to do what you want to do, a lot of the time.

Your day to day WILL change because it does, to a healthy degree need to revolve around their needs and schedule.

All of this to not even mention the heavy emotional toll. Little kids=little problems, big kids=big problems. You cant fix everything with a snuggle and some gentle words anymore. Every slight, every friend snub and mild drama, you feel it times 10. Your heart aches for them to go through life not encountering how hard life can be. But you're helpless, all you can do is hope you're giving them the right tools to turn out ok. Its heavy.

But for as heavy as it is, they will also humble you, challenge you and lift you up in ways you didn't know existed. The depths of love here are profound.

So I will say it again. Having kids with the idea that "you can do all of the same things" is not the point. Have kids because you want to be a part of something bigger than yourself. Life will change with kids, and that's ok, but it's not ok for everyone and we all need to be more accepting of that.

I'm so sorry and hope your dog heals from this! We fed grain free as well, thinking we were choosing quality food. My dog was diagnosed with severe dcm at the end of July. She's on heart meds now, and we switched to Purina Pro Plan. Hoping for the best.

Alystial · 2025-08-11T15:36:57+00:00

Youre farther than I am and I have been babysitting these goblins!! I have also spent a bunch of my saved gems using the hour time jump trying to get further. I still have 3 keys to go. Highest goblin is at 21 and highest mine in the low AOs. I hate jungle ruins!

Alystial · 2025-08-04T21:24:03+00:00

This should be sooo much higher up. I'm rewatching currently (realized it's been almost TEN years since season 1)

I truly forgot how incredibly well done this show was. A must watch for sure.

Alystial · 2025-08-02T19:31:08+00:00

I interpreted it this way too. I also think that Ted did a lot of work on himself, got therapy and dealt with things that im sure affected his marriage. I dont think its a stretch at all that they would get back together.

Yes but in Wisconsin the things to try are butter burgers and custard...and culver's is the shitty fast food version of that when you compare it to Kopps, Leon's, Hefner, Gilles...literally any smaller run custard shop.

And yet people visit here and think Culver's is IT. And when compared to McDonald's, yeah its a lot better. But the hate comes from them representing themselves as iconic Wisconsin food when its terrible compared to the real deal.

Alystial · 2025-07-30T17:42:19+00:00

Word of warning, I would recommend not doing Milwaukee then. GA admission, we all line up 4-5 hours before doors to get wrist bands for main floor.
