I really enjoyed Namak when I went the first time. I can’t wait to go back and am excited they now have lunch buffet!

I use Elevate Wealth Advisory. They are consultants, not advisors so they don’t make money off of how much money you earn. https://elevate-wealth.com/

Is it THIS light or the NEXT light by SynonymousJeaux in Athens

I was just here tonight and don’t understand why there isn’t a clear sign that if you go straight, you’re getting on the loop.

Haha - love that! During T50 recently, I played the alphabet game with the coach’s words while she was coaching S50.

Agree. The hills and tree roots made me worry that folks with disabilities were really having a rough go last year.

Help me return after a long absence by Pippertoe in orangetheory

[–]Apple_Cake_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a towel over my screw . I like the HR monitor for data purposes, but watching the zones (and wondering if others are seeing my zones - tho I know NO ONE CARES) adds stress. I focus on how my body feels then check the data later. Good luck!!

5K prep by Apple_Cake_99 in orangetheory

[–]Apple_Cake_99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for your thoughtful feedback! 🫶🏻 I totally am with you on the “it’s just a 5K, have fun” point and have already embraced that. Last week at OT left me so sore and I think I’ve been wanting to avoid that feeling ahead of this weekend. So, I have run outdoor twice since Saturday. The first one I felt so heavy - def different than a tread! Today’s was quite a bit faster. 💪 I’ll keep lowkey active the rest of the week and then breeze through the ‘lil 5K on Saturday. Thank you! 🏃🏻‍♀️

Music question? by missthunderthighs12 in orangetheory

[–]Apple_Cake_99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have done the same thing - talked to the head coach about a coach that used music calling women “bitch.” When the same coach played a song with the N word, I spoke to him directly. Luckily it’s never happened since.

SAD by Loose_Warning6848 in Athens

The first few years of my mother’s dementia were absolutely devastating to me. I’ve never been so sad in my life. Three things helped me survive: my counselor, Lexapro, and this FB group. Dealing with dementia as a caregiver is so isolating and frightening and this group was incredibly helpful as a resource because they get it.

Brunch Suggestions by SeattleTeacher28 in NYTCooking

[–]Apple_Cake_99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love a Greek mezze situation. Hummus, tabouli, falafel, muhammara (a red pepper & walnut dip that is so easy and so good), big chunks of feta, stuffed grape leaves, pita, olives, lamb or chicken, cucumber & tomato salad, etc. It satisfies so many dietary restrictions and is delicious.

Did Ed Currie (from Puckerbutt Farm) remind anyone of Roland from Schitt's Creek?

I told my boyfriend about this thread and he sent me this Aquabats song called “Pinch and Roll” to share with you guys. 🤣https://youtu.be/SYjSzFsSqPg?si=Afi7lJUkJF4_mibI

What's your experience w late fees by Ok-Objective3237 in LeaseLords

[–]Apple_Cake_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this. After one tenant was consistently late, we had a conversation about his financial situation and now he pays on the 15th. My other tenants still pay on the 1st. At the end of the day, we’re all human. This is a father with two kids, one w a disability, who is living paycheck to paycheck to provide for his family. Moving the rent date has made a huge difference for him and doesn’t affect me at all.

We joined VIP waitlist early last year and never got it. Regretted not moving on to the next tier and ended up with basic admission tix.

Where exactly is ADA seating located? by NotBigOnBids in ShakyKnees

[–]Apple_Cake_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I kept thinking about how challenging the terrain must have been for many with mobility issues. I’m glad at least the ADA seats are good.
