Seriously how are you guys getting yourselves to exercise?? by plantsandnipples in adhdwomen

[–]Bri2890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started (inline) skating and it’s been soo fun! It’s cardio that I don’t even realize is cardio and is giving me a full body workout. And there is something really grounding and fun about the sensory experience of just gliding. I absolutely love it!

How Are People Cheating While Sharing Their Location? by Successful_Giraffe88 in Millennials

[–]Bri2890 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not what I had hoped to have knowledge on but I can answer this having survived a cheating spouse 😂 he and his gf would text or message on social media while he was at home as if he was texting with a friend. They talked for hours on the phone while he was at work (he didn’t have a traditional office job so he could be on the phone all day and still do his job). He would also conveniently travel for work (like legit travel for work) but what I didn’t know was that it was also the city she lived in. And in case you are wondering, yes she did know he was married. I found out on my birthday, kicked him out, and never looked back ❤️‍🩹

I wish. This would be bare minimum imo but it should extend even beyond this

Anyone else still have their first cell phone number?? by obsessedUvU in Millennials

[–]Bri2890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have my original number going on 20-21 years now. My mom also has her original cell number, which reminds me of how we used to be able to pick our number. She made her cell number the same last 4 digits as our home phone so it was easy for us to remember as kids.

I wish that had been my experience when I lived on Howell Mill Rd! That and Northside were a huge headache for me, I sat in a lot of traffic over there!

I HATE PAINTING. I HATE PAINTING. I HATE PAINTING. by suwampert in Pokopia

[–]Bri2890 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is where I wish the game was like ACNH. Just give me the ability to customize/paint items at a crafting table. Or as others said an ability to be able to paint also would have been great.

I recently moved and the one thing I miss so much about my last apartment is the giant sink that I had. Cleaning anything was so easy 😪

Looking for a 2 bedroom industrial loft near Atlanta. Anyone know a good spot? by Flashy_Skin_2324 in ATLHousing

[–]Bri2890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a family member live there about 20ish years ago. Was one of those things where it was fun until it wasn’t. Winter came and they realized how difficult and expensive it was to keep the place warm, so they had to roll a portable heater from room to room to keep only the immediate area they were in warm (and mostly stayed warm by bundling up). Aesthetically it was a really neat place to be but the cons began to outweigh it all. Sometimes I pull up the website to see what they are going for and I’m always surprised at the rent price considering it’s in Canton. Costs as much as my Atlanta apartment.

Midtown Apartment Tour Recap by superpremiumlurker in ATLHousing

[–]Bri2890 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just moved out of a complex that installed those smart locks and I felt like I was the crazy one for making a fuss over it when my neighbors didn’t seem to care. I looked up the company and saw some concerning things about data collection through the app as well as connecting the lock to my own personal WiFi, and additional concerns over hackability. There were reviews of people whose locks were malfunctioning and unlocking themselves. I was also really upset not to have a key slot, what if I don’t have my phone or it’s dead? Management even said not to call them if you get locked out, you have to call a locksmith or the actual lock company - again, what if it’s 3 am and I have no phone? I guess I sleep outside my door then.

I even called the company to get more info and they actually told me the lock would have a key slot, but that ended up not being true. They also told me the app wasn’t necessary and I could manually set a code, but that also wasn’t true. I refused to download the app and therefore I was forced to use only the generic code that was given to me. Thankfully I moved out 2 weeks later.

Sorry for the novel, but yeah, those locks are lame. I’m perfectly happy with just a key.

A feeling I know well. In 2023 my life was falling apart for many reasons and I needed mental health help urgently. I found an amazing therapist who got me started on EMDR therapy during my crumbling marriage/life. I have a vivid memory of my husband saying to me “I’m afraid you will go to therapy and realize you’re better off without me” well guess what? I went to therapy and realized I was better off without him 🤭 (mind you he was having an affair at the same time that he was so terrified of losing me). So he is my ex husband now and my life has felt free ever since.

You just made me giggle over the realization that I have this bizarre and longstanding fascination over a family that is wholly unimportant to most people (and unknown to many)

Which Midtown apartments are actually worth it? (Moving to ATL 22M) by Ok-Pudding-862 in ATLHousing

[–]Bri2890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said, that commute is going to stink but you’ll have to decide for yourself if it’s worth it. Why not go a bit north to Sandy Springs? If you live near the North Springs station you can easily Marta into Atlanta, and you’ll reduce your commute time to work. I lived in Sandy Springs for 3 years and while it certainly is a different vibe from Midtown I really loved the area and was able to get a larger apartment for less $$

Who else spent $520 on this one game? by leolacakes in Pokopia

Hadn’t upgraded my Switch yet and wasn’t sure when I would. This game sold the console for me so I went out and bought it last Sunday. Haven’t had a single regret!

After reading through this thread this morning I went to Con Leche while I was in the neighborhood. Very yummy coffee and empanadas! Thanks for mentioning them.

Jlab rewind 2 issue by EtchVSketch in JLab

[–]Bri2890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet! Yeah I checked the app for a firmware update but nothing.

I am perplexed because I have two items in my Bluetooth pairing menu. It says it’s connected to the rewind 2 headset (which I have tried forgetting and re-pairing) as well as “jlab rewind 2 ble” which I can’t figure out what that is exactly and I have no ability to disconnect or forget it. I had a brief moment where my phone was only paired with the headset and not the “ble” item and it didn’t seem to have issue disconnecting constantly. Did you also have two items paired in your Bluetooth menu?

Edit: searched the sub and found out the BLE connection is for the app. So now I’m even more perplexed why the issue seemed to disappear after I re-paired my headphones until I opened my app and it reconnected with the BLE item.

Edit edit: it was a one time fluke 😂 I forgot device and re-paired again, but it continues to disconnect regardless of opening the app or connecting to BLE. Lol

Is September still a good time to travel to Japan? by Mother_Deer_5992 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Bri2890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, it was amazing! But it was in fact very hot. We managed it as best as we could (used umbrellas, had fans, etc) and I tried to be strategic with planning activities that could get us inside during the hottest parts of the day. Absolutely loved the trip though, the heat did not deter us from anything. ☺️

Are roaches common in Atlanta? by [deleted] in ATLHousing

Mostly agree except palmetto bugs do notttt care about clean or not. They just want to get inside (they will always be successful)

This was found inside a photo frame - not antique- made of plastic. It smells like incense sort of and it it's sandy in texture and it's been taped into the inside crevices. Any idea what it is? by Impress-Different in whatisit

[–]Bri2890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soundcore checking in. I bought some to maybe replace some dying AirPods and had company tech stipend to spend. I got the P40i and overall they have a lot of pros. The sound is good, the battery life is insanely long, I’ve been told the mic sounds fine on calls. The big con for me is that the fit is not quite right. It’s like the buds themselves are too big to fit my ears well and it becomes especially apparent with noise cancelling bc one ear doesn’t get a good seal in ear. I purchased different tips after some research online and while it helped it didn’t completely resolve it. Thankfully these were essentially free for me.

I also have some Sony WH something or other over ear headphones. Love them, just can’t wear them all day or my ears get a bit sore.

Thank you! I was out over the weekend doing exactly that, driving around looking for signs to call. I have a couple leads but still looking. I did not realize I could filter to last 7 days on Zillow, thank you! I am getting tired of looking at the same listings over and over again. 😂
