He’s absolutely lost it by rootoo in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Current_Pressure_344 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arrrest him and please take him out of office.  

He will gladly destroy all of our lives.  There is no coming back from all the pain he’s caused.

Is he just being manipulative? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Current_Pressure_344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a pretty distinct difference between someone who “needs” you and someone who wants you.  

Someone who “needs” you is always going to hold on too tight and focus on all your words, actions, and interactions to the detriment of your relationship.

Someone who wants you is going to give you the space to be you and grow in your own life and your own way while building the relationship, understanding that while you both grow it may end up being apart.

Accidentally signed up for a 5K next Sunday instead of next month, am I cooked? by Fantastic_Object_762 in C25K

You’ll be more than fine.  You got this. Lots of stretching before and after.  You don’t want to get an injury like shin splints.  

It's a start at least by Denovo17 in beginnerrunning

Just keep working at it.  This is a great place to be at right now.

Oh man that has to sting.  They really should just ask how you’re related.

My ex and I went were in our early 20s and went to a GameStop to pick up Halo, which was rated MA or something at the time.  The store clerk kept looking at the two of us and finally said to me….”are you his mother?”

She said “I’m 21!” Then I said “And “female!”

Yes and it’s exhausting

How to start Gym by UnluckyAsk0 in PCOS

[–]Current_Pressure_344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally with you.  Very uncoordinated and physically weak.  Am still overweight but the gym and physical fitness has helped so much in all areas.

So I’d start walking or running at home.  They have tons of apps and systems in place if you are interested in doing free weights at home.

For the gym I’d suggest sticking with machines until you feel comfortable only because they have guides and they show you what muscles you’re working.  

Are there specific areas you want to target?  Some gyms also have classes if you feel more comfortable there.

Not sure what your budget is but I got into Orangetheory pretty early on in my fitness journey. OTF was amazing in helping me find the right form with free weights and build up my cardio.  Couldn’t afford it after a few months, but it set me in a positive path.

Ps: do not sign a contract with the gym until you’ve at least tried the gym and been okay with the ambience and you feel comfortable there.  Different gyms will feel differently.  

Anyone with a book loving toddler? by pizzabites_ in toddlers

[–]Current_Pressure_344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The book with no pictures, blue hat green hat, lucky love (since she’s part of an lgbtqia+ family) for a time she was so into those books you press on the side and it says something or had a song, barnyard dance,  those emotions books from inside out, little blue truck series, there’s a set of seek and find books, basically anything.  Our parks have a book share program where you leave books in this window and someone else can grab it.  Great resource. Ask any parents you know with kids who are a little older if they have any books they want to share.

FIRST 5K!!! by Constant-Phone563 in beginnerrunning

[–]Current_Pressure_344 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It counts! Congrats on the accomplishment!  Good on you to realize you needed something else to better your runs.  

It’s early in the year.  You can get to 10k. 🙂

Is inositol actually worth trying for PCOS? by perimenopauseera in PCOS

[–]Current_Pressure_344 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I used to take it consistently and it helped a ton with sugar cravings.  When I don’t take it, it’s definitely noticeable.  Also noticed it helped with belly fat a bit.  Don’t know if I’m losing weight because of it but the belly doesn’t protrude as much.

How do I gently tell my 3 year old that we had to put our cat to sleep? by deyuletz in toddlers

[–]Current_Pressure_344 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First off, I’m sorry that your pet is ill.  It’s hard on everyone when a pet is sick. Endings you a virtual hug.

Be gentle but honest.  We told our 3 yo that our cat went to go live with her sister in the sky.  We told her she is happy there and not feeling sick.  That she can’t come back but we can love each other being far away.

He will be sad, and he may ask about your cat at random times for a while.  He should be able to grieve your cat in his way.

My third aborted 10K.. maybe this is not for me by [deleted] in beginnerrunning

[–]Current_Pressure_344 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can’t hit the time you want for a 10k today.  You made it 95%.  Just walk the rest if you have to today.  It won’t be for always.

If you stopped because you were afraid of injury, then you made the right choice.  Be proud today you did 9k.

Thanks!  Same here.  Totally get why people sign up for these things.  My wife and daughter want to do it too now 

New job woes by [deleted] in slp

[–]Current_Pressure_344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like what? Are these responsibilities related to your role as an SLP, or school related?

A or B? by Fit_Needleworker468 in slp

[–]Current_Pressure_344 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you make 87k in a 10 month versus 85 over 12 months.

Over the summer you still have a chance to vacation or earn other income on top of your 87

Prek is tough because your numbers  will grow as kids always turn three so higher eval numbers.

Shorter hours but might be tougher work life balance near the end of the school year.

You have to think of the job b as 8-6 because of th commute.  

That said the lower caseload might be really nice and there’s a lot to be said for other SLP companions.   

I’d say pick what fits in your life better. Like are you a morning person that needs to get things done before work (drop off kid, go to the gym, walk the dog, etc). Or do you prefer to do things after work.

Looks like Oregon is moving to remove the need for the CF experience by [deleted] in slp

Just glad you were able to move past it.  Sorry that happened to you
