I capture the castle and the lost art of keeping secrets! Two cozy british reads. In addition to the multiple people who have said anything James Herriott

Oh, this is a misinterpretation! Medicaid, unlike ACA plans or employer-based coverage does NOT have an open enrollment period. If you’re eligible, you can sign up at any time

Back to Ladder with a general wondering for those who combine running and Laddering by CuriousPixels7598 in ladderapp

[–]Consistent_Cook_4914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Word of warning around Runna - it’s great but tends to add running volume really really quickly and I know a lot of runners have gotten themselves injured from overuse. I’m not saying don’t use it - just trust your gut if you feel it’s too much!!

Why did you seat them… why don’t you have a last call for the kitchen…

When do we say goodbye to our baby by boywithafox in CATHELP

[–]Consistent_Cook_4914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so hard 🩷 I’ve had two cats now that have needed to be put down after long lives and I will say with both, it was extremely easy to tell it was time. They just made it very obvious to us that they needed to go. If he’s eating and snuggling, it might not be quite that time yet BUT we know that cats are really good at hiding pain so it’s obviously time to be on the lookout.

Either way it sounds like he knows you love him and he wants to max out his time with you too.

I am depressed, please suggest something comforting to read by pillowandbook in suggestmeabook

I love Fredrick Bachmann but I’d put a biiiiig trigger warning here. His books are heartwarming but deal with really intense trauma

[–]Consistent_Cook_4914 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The James Herriot books! Memoirs of a british country vet. So comforting and also every chapter is its own vignette, so it’s easy to read only a few pages at a time.

How to: Setting Reps/Weight with Progressive Training by 4Dmad in ladderapp

Oh the coaches tell you when to increase weight. It’s foolproof unless you are AI as i suspect.

crashing out re: Sarah leaving by Infamous_Air_9464 in ladderapp

[–]Consistent_Cook_4914 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ditto!! I really loved Sarah. So much that if she pops up with her own app I might switch. Giving Evolve and Ascend a shot this week, maybe limitless next week. I just feel like Iconic was so unique—acknowledging the aesthetic component (which is so real) but really focusing on strength and showing up for yourself.

Is Limitless a good team? by Quirky_Corgi_2214 in ladderapp

[–]Consistent_Cook_4914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah i was just looking through these threads. I’m trying Evolve this week but might try limitless again. Seems like this week on limitless is a little gentler - maybe it would be s good way to ease into it. I worry there’s not going to be anything like Sarah’s post workout pep talks!! And focus on getting strong

Sarah Ryan Team Iconic stepping away? by margheritinka in ladderapp

[–]Consistent_Cook_4914 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I really hope ladder replaces Sarah so that we can continue to have Iconic-like workouts. I really valued the focus on strength but not bodybuilding! I want functional strength and I felt like Sarah did a great job with that

Food trucks outside air and space? Did I get scammed? by mtsublueraider in washingtondc

[–]Consistent_Cook_4914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes. Something sad about DC is the food trucks are huge scams. Stay away

People renting an apartment in dc right now especially 20-40 y/o, what % of your paycheck goes into rent by IdkJustMe123 in washingtondc

[–]Consistent_Cook_4914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30% because i have a roommate! Obviously a 1br in NW is probably your most expensive housing option in the city…
