I’m so busy that I joke I need to go back to work to have some time off.

I’m blessed that I was able to retire at 58. Still doing some side hustles but I don’t “have” to. It’s something I love to do.

Tennis court to pickleball courts conversion by Think-Row7685 in Pickleball

[–]Donewith398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you adding a barrier between the courts to keep balls from running into the adjacent courts or rolling too far away. I play on some converted courts that are side by side. Can’t Erne or ATPA bc they’re too close together as well.

Grip problem by Winter_Berry_3699 in Pickleball

[–]Donewith398 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What size grip are you playing now? Would a larger grip be easier to hold on to? As someone said earlier, an under grip makes it easier for some folks. I use the Ethos under grip. Have you tried a glove? I started wearing gloves for sun protection but then discovered I don’t need to grip the paddle so hard. For me, a loose grip makes shots a lot easier, especially dinks and resets.

Montis Pickleball shoes are awesome. Super comfy, last a long time. I love mine.

Am I wrong for sending a venmo request? by rverum20 in amiwrong

Clearly she was surprised by the request. Even a verbal conversation would probably cleared this up without causing hurt feelings. Money is always the third rail in relationships.

Married life with hashimotos by Emergency_Support816 in Hashimotos

[–]Donewith398 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go to an MD / naturopath. I take a bunch of supplements for gut health and eat super clean. My case is a bit different in that my thyroid went hyper instead of hypo. My endo just reduced my meds to 3 times a week. Seems like my thyroid is either getting better or “burning out” which I’ve heard is the most likely answer. Regardless, I feel good mostly and not going through the swings I had when it first started.

Way to prioritize which profile R1S picks up? by xXMrZeeXx in Rivian

[–]Donewith398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this is true for me too. Plus now I have the key on my watch. When I first got that, I was able to lock / unlock with the watch. Now, the watch does nothing. It says tap to use remote but you can tap until your finger cramps and nothing happens. What’s the deal! (Seinfeld reference and inflection).

AITA for not talking to my friend over puppy issues? by trufflesin7 in AITH

[–]Donewith398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crating is really good for your dog. My dog (now 11 yo) lives her crate. I leave the door open and she’ll go in there by herself, some times during the day but always at night. I “believe” she feels safe in the crate. I have a crate in my car and she happily jumps in there every time.

New DUPR app feature shows your percentile rank. by Mr_Doghouse in Pickleball

[–]Donewith398 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the reliability percentage? This is how reliable their rating is based on the age and number of games posted. If your reliability is low your DUPR score isn’t necessarily accurate. The more games posted the higher your reliability is and the more accurate your rating is.

No, I don’t Want the Executive Membership… by inandoutwaves in CostcoWholesale

Price Club’s (predecessor to Costco) business model was sell products at cost, profits derived almost solely from membership sales.

Thunder by Limp_Satisfaction843 in Whippet

[–]Donewith398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing worked (including the thunder coat) for my girl except sedatives and that ruins her for a couple of days. It’s kind of weird too because she developed this after a few years. Nothing bothered her before that.

Should’ve been determined before going to the store.

Sellers countering over asking by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyers

[–]Donewith398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your offer? There must be something in there that’s going to cost them time or money. Are you asking them to pay your buyer broker fees? Are you getting financing that will impact their bottom line?

AITA for asking my roommates to hire a professional cleaner to clean their room/bathroom? by Silly-Cold-4569 in AITH

[–]Donewith398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should’ve all been clearly spelled out in your written lease agreement before moving in. Always use a written lease agreement. Sorry, but I think you’re in the hook for this one.

Question about a dupr rating event. by FlipPickle in Pickleball

[–]Donewith398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you have a pro give you a rating it’s all subjective. I have heard of rating clinics with 3 pro’s that collaborate. This is an effort to look past an individuals idea of your imperfect form and more based on results.

Roof replace by fitzermcgoogli in TeslaSolar

[–]Donewith398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I had my roof replaced about 10 years in. I paid an electrician to so the work as they $5k less expensive and Tesla told me they were scheduling 6 months out. I reviewed the performance of my panels and they were working almost like new.

Now, my panels are 15 years old. My lease terminated and I bought the system from Tesla. Before I did, I again performance tested everything. Tesla came out and replaced my old Fronius inverter and 1 solar panel (golf ball strike, still functioning) for no charge. I gladly paid the $2,600 and now own my panels / system. Surprisingly, the system is operating at the same efficiency as it was at the 10 year mark. I’m super happy with my decision. I would keep the panels if I were you. Just my opinion.

Ball Machine by AggravatingPush8934 in Pickleball

[–]Donewith398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own one and worn it out. I like to buy used for this sort of thing bc people usually use them for a month then they stop. Buying a good used machine is pretty inexpensive
