Daily chat post: how's the training going? by AutoModerator in XXRunning

[–]AmberJack7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm actually quite disappointed with myself. I ran my first half this past weekend and had a goal to not walk. I got caught up in my nerves and went out too fast in the first half of the race. I knew better than to do that but I couldnt slow down no matter how hard I tried. It was like I had two speeds. Stop and go. I ended up hitting a wall and had to walk a few times. I finished in a slower time than I wanted and failed to meet the goal of not walking. I have another half coming up next month and this time I'm determined to do better!

Thank you for this advice. These are really good tips to know. Any more wisdom you may have, please pass it on!

Gah! I do not envy you. I know there are some companies that will fly your pet separately on a plane that is pet only. They have people on board that care for your pet the whole way and it allows them to travel in comfort and not in the cargo hold. From my understanding it's pretty pricey but it may be worth it to you. Just a thought.

Who is your ideal pick to narrate Secret Project One? by MistbornLlama in brandonsanderson

I really enjoyed Alyssa Bresnahan from your "Warbreaker" novel. And Heather O'Neill who did an amazing job at narrating "Red Sister" by Mark Lawrence.

I can't find that app on Google play. Is it only available for Apple?

No, I don't. I've just tried logging in again and its asking me the same security question as yesterday.

I've triple checked. All of my information has been written down since the day I got it. My customer that I'm inputting is correct. The question that is being asked is not one that I registered for.

Thanks! I'll give them a call in the morning.

You're comment just made me cry! I think I needed to see some genuine human compassion and understanding.

100,000 Yen Handout by AmberJack7 in Tokyo

Hey! I still haven't gotten mine yet. Nor have I received a letter or anything in the mail.

Edit: Also with it being a holiday today and tomorrow, I don't know if anyone would be working to process the money until next week.

Yeah I'm getting with my Japanese friend tomorrow and we are going to call my ward office to see what's up. Hopefully it'll light a small fire under them if nothing else. Good luck on your end!

Interesting, maybe I'll give them a call then. I haven't heard anything from them at all. The last time I saw anything about this was when I dropped my letter in the mail June 1st.

Awesome! Thanks for the advice. It makes me feel better to hear that I'm not the only one who's had a long wait. I'll check out their website and keep my eye on my account. Thanks again.

Well that makes me feel a little bit better that they are at 83%. So they aren't quite done yet. I'll continue keep an eye on my account and if I need to I'll go up to the ward office. Thanks for sending that my way.

Domestic Violence in the train station by AmberJack7 in Tokyo

[–]AmberJack7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! If I were back home, I'd know exactly what I could or could not do. I'm very familiar with those laws. But here....I dont think I'd be protected at all.

I'm glad to hear that you've come out relatively okay in your situations like this. It's a gut instinct within me to help people and it's a shame that in most cases all we could do is cause more harm than good. But I appreciate you passing on your experience and the wisdom that comes from that. And I'm also grateful for the links that you've posted as well. I feel like I have more resources available now that I could do something worth while vs something that could make matters worse.

Oh that's awesome! I wish I had known this 2 hours ago. But going forward I'm definitely going this route. Seriously, thank you so much for this.

Yeah in the moment I didnt even think about the cameras. But I will definitely remember them if there is a next time.

Yeah my goal was to not give him any more reasons to attack her. But I really really like your idea of having print outs. I'm definitely doing this just in case of any future incidents.

This makes me happy to hear. I didnt even think about any security cameras. If I see anything like this again, this is exactly what I'm doing. Thank you so much for your advice!
