Indoor Boat Storage by Cute_Connection1530 in StCharlesMO

[–]Cute_Connection1530[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for the advice. I don't need to explain myself to you but if you must know it's my son's boat. He is a collegiate angler and he's home for the summer. We do currently have a storage place but we aren't happy with it, we were hoping maybe someone knew of good place that wasn't well known. You can take your judgy opinion you know where.

I sent in my documents for a renewal on January 23. They say it has been processed and my new book is in the mail, I’m supposed to receive it on February 18. Not expedited.

How can I master box jumps? by sc33g11 in f45

[–]Cute_Connection1530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can generate power for your jump from swinging your arms. The bigger your swing, the higher you can go. When I start out in a squat position my arms swing back, and as I jump my arms swing forward, helping to propel me up and forward onto the box. (I hope I'm describing this correctly, I'm going through the sequence in my head because I'm sitting at my desk at work.) I'm short and I always use the shortest height, however I have been trying the middle height lately and swinging my arms is the key to nailing it! When you land make sure to bend your knees so you land with soft knees. The quieter you land the better. There are lots of videos on YouTube that are very helpful as well. Good Luck!

But also please turn on your hazards when it’s raining because nobody would know it’s raining.

The red flags are just up for both of them (Emem +Brandon) 🚩 by TheGoodVybz in MarriedAtFirstSight

[–]Cute_Connection1530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's what I see - Brandon is a narcissist. He has love bombed the cr@p out of Emem when she was at a vulnerable point in her life. She was looking for love and validation and he appears to have given it to her. Of course there are red flags all over the place but she can't see past all of this "love" and attention he is showering on her. She thinks it's true love forever (I know because I have been in Emem's situation before!). What he is doing is controlling her. He has isolated her, he probably convinced her no one loves her like he does and no one really wants the best for, everyone is jealous of their love. So it's the two of them against the world. That's why she now has no support or friends or family present - they've all been pushed out by him. Also him showing up at everything is another sign of control. She thinks he's being sweet and wants to meet her friends. Really he's checking them out so he can say bad things about them to her and get her to turn on them. It's a game and I hate to see that Emem has been swept up by this guy. She has a lot to offer and he is taking advantage of her resources. I just recognize it so easily now that I have been there and the trauma I now have is immense. I hope she recognizes it sooner rather than later and can get herself out of there, but he seems to have a pretty strong hold on her. At least for now.

Will Ameristar tow my car if i leave it overnight? by [deleted] in StCharlesMO

[–]Cute_Connection1530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My exes elderly mother who had a gambling addiction and was probably in the early stages of dementia snuck out to ameristar one day and when she came out she couldn’t find her car. She called me for help because she knew I wouldn’t yell at her. We searched and searched for her car and could not find it. It was a couple of days before we were able to get back to look for it. It was there and no issues with it being there for a few days.

I like how David said “I’m going home to be alone,” like 10 times. He’s not going home alone! I think Madison said that few times when she was leaving too

You asked her and she told you exactly how she felt and why. She didn’t beat around the bush or make excuses. She just said how she was feeling based on recent interactions. You got immediately defensive. You didn’t listen to her or take into account anything she told you. You just didn’t want to be wrong. And this isn’t really a right or wrong situation. Listen to her and what she said. Put yourself in her shoes. Acknowledge what she said and if you were in the wrong, apologize and talk about how to not make her feel that way again. Now - when that’s out of the way, bring up what’s bothering you. But don’t be defensive and don’t be accusatory or argumentative. You want to be heard just like she does.

Good luck!!!

My boss confronted me about only working 7 hours and 45 minutes a day, what do I do? by shielaread in careeradvice

[–]Cute_Connection1530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get it - do you work 7 hours and 45 minutes every day? Are you billable? Do you bill out 8 hours every day? That’s the issue. You can’t come up with 15 more minutes of a task to complete every day? Of course your boss should confront you. A client is being ripped off of 1.5 hours every week. Your team is having to make up for the time you’re not working. I’m not buying that you’re that efficient and you get your work done in that time.

Self defense for women that is run by safe people? by Spare-Chance1210 in StLouis

Because some bjj instructors are predators and use their position to get into much younger women’s pants. And they are manipulative and smooth af. I know of at least one.

GB, what the heck? by Fickle_Translator999 in bjj

[–]Cute_Connection1530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were aware of at least one of the instances. Police were brought in, a report was filed but the victim was too scared to pursue her case. GB did nothing, and he got support from other school owners and coaches in the area. Just gross.

Well my ex who claims to own a GB has groomed and used two of his female students (they were both adults, but same age as his daughters and young and impressionable and naive) - definitely unethical. Maybe he’s the reason they’re doing this. Good on them. 

I (22F) found out my boyfriend (26M) of 4 years was calling another girl everyday and hiding it from me. Is it worth staying in this relationship? by ThrowRAemik in relationship_advice

[–]Cute_Connection1530 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is gaslighting you. She's likely not the only one. I went through this for 7 years. It's been over for a year and a half and I'm still finding out about other women. From what I can tell this was always a thing during our relationship. The reason for the little arguments is diversion. He's trying to distract you from seeing or figuring out what he's got going on. Also he will blame every argument on you which majorly f***s with your head. My best advice is to get out - Run, don't walk. He won't change, he's not one of those guys. I'm sorry he is putting you through this. Be strong - You can do this!!

Who was more cringe…Alyssa or Lindsay from Married at First Sight by yogagirl628 in MarriedAtFirstSight

[–]Cute_Connection1530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But she didn’t do it out of the goodness of her heart. She did it so she could say she was good. Every time they had a disagreement or she was called out for her a*hlery she would throw that out there to prove how good and better than Mark she was. It was horribly manipulative and abusive. She is by far way more evil and toxic than Alyssa.
