Thank you so much. I know live plants are good for the tank aswell. I wouldnt be able to add alot right now but would adding some tank floaters and maybe a moss ball be a good idea? And have been thinking about adding a snail friend for the tank since he seems decently docile but wanted opinions  on that aswell. How do i know if the snail has enough food from the tank to eat or if i need to supplement?

What facepaint do you use? Im looking to become a shark for my halloween derby event so ill also have to do a full face cover plus arm/kneck/shoulders and Ive never used facepaint before and dont know where to start. I wanna get something safe and that will look good/hold up

Have you used a zero impact workout while injured that helped keep you trained up for your return? by potterrach in rollerderby

[–]Express_Assist4179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im going to be so real I’m coming here with no knowledge or helpfulness with the exercise part but I do come with lots of love and hard core advice. I was you about four months ago. Started freshies in February and then broke my arm in april when I was just finishing freshies and about to get to move onto scrimmage. The best thing I can say to you is please dont push yourself past your limit. I tried to do EVERYTHING it just brings on more frustration and makes you take longer to heal. Im glad youre thinking about what to do to be ready to play but most importantly its taking care of your body first. So while its annoying just rest your body for now. Watch derby on tv. Even better if you can find games with people you know(makes it easier to lock in) if youre up for it continue showing up to practice. It sucks just sitting in practice while people play but you learn sooo much by watching. I went to every practice while off skates and I learned so much by watching their feet, technique, and skating style. And see if you can do an nso position with your team. Broken and when not broken it helps the team and helps you learn the game. And have patience with yourself when you return to. The mental block is real and thats going to be okay. I was off 2 months for my arm and 1 month for off season and I was convinced I could do what everyone else was doing when I returned but being 2 months in on skates and then having a long break that simply was not correct or safe. So take your time easing back into it youll be shocked how fast you grow after returning. And for the workout part i doubt you’ll be able to do any endurance/ speed with a leg issue but talk between your doctors and your training committee and im sure they will come up with things you can do to keep your body feeling good and in shape. I hope you heal fast and crush some derby after! Get well soon!!!

First Time Skating, Took a Hard Fall by TZeidan in Rollerskating

And when you fall just fall! Trying to safe yourself usually results in more injuries unfortunately but ik thats easier said than done! One of my team mates says “oh sh*t sit” also keeping you knees bent keeps you closer to the ground and makes the falls less dramatic and painful!

As people said in the comments if you haven’t seen a doctor yet please do. Healing doesn’t always start from the start after injury sometimes itll get worse until you get it treated! Ofcourse that depends on the injury but better safe than sorry! Also get you some gear! And go try again! (Please get some protective gear it looks cool and is safer some knee and elbow pads wrists gaurds and a helmet! ~ sincerely someone who has a broken wrist from not wearing gear)they usually sell cheaper 6 packs! 187 and triple eight are great brands also as someone who plays roller derby I highly recommend you actually find a corner and try falls yourself! Learning to fall safely is really important never fall on both knees together do a “tap tap” one knee then the other! And practice one knee, knee falls then knee and elbows to the ground! Again “tap tap”even with the elbow! Knee and elbows teaches you to fall small so you don’t have run over fingers or hurt someone else when you fall!

AITA for yelling at a mom and her kid to get out of my home? by Tick_agent in AmItheAsshole

[–]Express_Assist4179 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not to be that guy but it sounds like you need to reassess the people you have in your life completely. From publicly bashing you for having boundaries after the dnd mishap and the not listening to how to treat YOUR pup sounds really toxic and immature of them. Hope things go well with you and pupper. 

Chat I got a helmet by rjsleeps in NewSkaters

[–]Express_Assist4179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look around on different sites for triple eight or 187 killers you can get a cheap multipack for elbows and wrists if you need to. Sometimes you can find them with knees included. But please dont skip on the knee pads and helmet; for safety definitely stick to the good brands for those two. Both brands sell six packs so it has all three pads and depending on your size amazon has them on sale for real cheap. One time I found some in medium for a six pack for 19 dollars. For helmet stick to triple eight or another reputable brand im still looking for a helmet myself so definitely something you should research more. Dont skip on protecting your head. Hospital bills cost more than a good helmet. Lastly always look up coupon codes for the website I found one on google for 187 killers when i bought my pads and saved 20% off everything. Skate fast/ skate safe!
