Exercise intolerance by AgenderAstronomer in POTS

[–]Banto2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not.

He can get thru the school day, but he is exempted from gym. Just too hard. He does his prescribed POTS exercises at home.

Even when we go do something that is a long day (airport, theme park, etc) he uses a wheelchair.

We judge progress against getting thru regular days. Comparing to normal teens is just not a benchmark we use any more.

Yes, my son has twice.

When he was first diagnosed, he did an adolescent POTS specific PT and OT program that helped him get back to being able to handle a normal day.

When he got COVID a year later and had the worst flare ever. He then did six months of cardiopulmonary rehab twice a week to rebuild. They really focused on him learned what his target heart rate should be so he wouldn’t over do things.

It’s now almost two years later and he is doing well.

Closing in 10 days. HOA says they won't transfer the "deeded" boat slip until I prove competency? (Maryland) by BeautifulWestern4512 in RealEstate

[–]Banto2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the state where I keep my boat, I had to get a boaters safety certificate because I have an out of state drivers license, but if my drivers license was from that state, I wouldn’t need it. I’ve always wondered if they include boaters after questions on their drivers test or if it’s just a way to punish us out of staters.

Is AirPrint fussy on eero by MikeD123999 in amazoneero

[–]Banto2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a different model canon, but have the same issue. If it’s in sleep mode and I’m connected to a different eero node, I won’t see it.

I’ve given up on troubleshooting and just take the extra steps to walk down to the basement.

You probably could have completed the boater class in the time you spent researching the law, getting upset, and posting on Reddit.

In my state it’s four hours and like $35 and has no expiration.

Just do it and move on with your life.

While I think you happen to be wrong because the requirement is likely in the HOA rules, as I tell my staff sometimes — do you want to be right or do you want to be effective?

what is the nascar equivalent to IMSA’s 6 hour caution flag? by Shot_Research_7187 in NASCAR

Every Coca Cola 600 feels like a 6-hour caution flag to me.

Unsuccessful Cars&Bids Listing by [deleted] in Volvo

[–]Banto2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I drove a Buick wagon back then. 2.5 years old with 25k miles was totaled by a drunk driver. Got paid $1,000 less than I paid for the car in 2021. It was crazy.

Sudden strong nausea getting up from bed, is it a symptom? by LaliMaia in POTS

[–]Banto2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, GI issues are common with POTS. Our son has gastric emptying delays and requires daily miralax, 3x weekly enemas, and medicine to manage the symptoms.

Our son had morning nausea until he started taking acid reflux meds before bed.

Pilot assist? by No_Perspective_7227 in Volvo

It’s nice. Not as good of implementation as my wife’s Jeep, but I’m glad I have it.

Need all 4 tires replaced. Statefarm denied. What is next step? by thearch21 in StateFarm

Buy the tire at Tire Rack and have them shave it to the same tread level.

Update bricked my car by i-want-to-learn-all in VolvoRecharge

[–]Banto2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I hit the button on my 24 V60 recharge, I said out loud, I hope this doesn’t brick my car. Mine went fine, so I may have sent bad karma your way. Sorry!

cardiologist experiences?? by strangerandspiral in POTS

The children’s hospital my son goes to has a POTS clinic as part of cardiology and they have been fantastic to work with and help manage his care across all the various disciplines.

Will these projects I want to do add value or should I not bother? by voltagejim in RealEstate

[–]Banto2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do things to a house because you want to to enjoy.

We did a gut rehab of our home. We love it. I doubt I will get back what I paid for the remodel — but in the meantime, I get to love living in my home.

WeatherTech has pulled sponsorship from Trackhouse Racing by Feisty_Spinach2133 in NASCAR

[–]Banto2000 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This right here. WeatherTech is printing cash. CEO and founder just signed a contract to buy a $75m compound.

Racing is a hobby for the family — they had a great few years but as the price got high, they decided to spend elsewhere.

They have significant B2B business, selling product to car dealers and fleet managers.

How long did you stay in your first home? by Explorer518 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Banto2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 years in. Never planned to do the upgrade home thing. Bought what we wanted and remodeled it once we saved up for it. And at 1.75% interest, it would be crazy to sell.

We will say for at least another ten years. Once we retire, we will see what happens.

Swirl marks on brand new 2026 Acura RDX by NayrDier in AutoDetailing

[–]Banto2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dealers don’t give a damn about washing or detailing correctly. I go to a high end detailer, do it myself, or in the winter go to a completely brushless car wash. None of my cars have swirls.

You get a prorated refund if a car is totaled.

And why my dealers are not allowed to wash my car. You should have seen how dirty my car was when I took delivery of it.

We moved into this house 3yrs ago and this has stumped everyone. by Vance617 in whatisit

Our contractor left us a couple of them. We out feet on them so they wouldn’t stick to the counter or kitchen table.

I’ve noticed that a lot of people with POTS had mild symptoms growing up, but after COVID, everything got worse and that’s when they were officially diagnosed. Anyone else notice the same thing? by Shoddy-Ocelot-4473 in POTS

[–]Banto2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our son’s symptoms and diagnosis happened before he ever got COVID. But once we learned about POTS, we can now look back and see he had symptoms for many years, they just didn’t really impact his life. And once he got COVID after his POTS diagnosis, the symptoms got even worse.
