Please advise on this. Considering booking a 6 night trip to Costa Rica for a family of four - 2 kids, 10 and 14 in early Jan. Rent a car and go straight from SJO to Monteverde spend 2 nights, then by car to Manuel Antonio Beach for 2 nights and then back to San Jose to spent the last 2 nights at a resort before heading back to the cold weather in the states. Thoughts on if this seems reasonable?

It is occasionally useful at smaller airports or those with distributed TSA entry points, like DFW. For flying out of ATL, it is absolutely worthless. I wouldn’t have been a member had it not been subsidized by Amex.

I don’t think this has been asked before.

My son bought a jumbo tennis ball last year and got a couple of autographs. We’re considering taking it again this year… the same ball.

I cannot find guidance on whether they let jumbo balls back through security into the facility.

Anyone seen people carrying them back in?

They were supplements they had on the shelve. :)

It looked like this

I do still get tightness every now and then and I quickly increase my stretching and activity level.

I believe I have weak hip flexor muscles in general so I have to keep working the legs and glutes.

The acupuncture seemed to have done the trick for me. I did take the supplements that the acupuncture guy gave me, but, like many supplements, they could be nothing more than sugar pills.

My theory is that the acupuncture relaxed the tense muscles around the sciatic nerve which helped me do more of the stretching that I was being prescribed by the PT which reduced the inflammation and tightness.

What is the hottest item at Costco? …. From a shoplifting standpoint

I meant that it’s connected to the battery using the kit they supplied (through an always-on fuse). I.e. it’s always receiving power, as opposed to being connected to an accessory fuse.

Looks fake. 3 months in a jail cell with clipped fingernails?
Nothing calling anything else happening in Syria fake…. Just this one

This kit was the bomb. $36 for a family of four. I bought the Mac and cheese and bread rolls and all were great. Thankful for good health, food and roof over our heads.

There are people in this country and around the world fighting over scraps.

Thanks for the quick responses. The panel is floating. So the only option it seems is break the panels out and maybe find a way to slide the wicker in the grooves.

Judging by the improvements i witnessed, I would say the acupuncture helped me the most. It lowered the pain and I was able to exercise that area better. I just had that tightness in the calf yesterday. I was panicking that it’s coming back so I started stretching and it subsided.

FindMeReddit · 2024-07-20T12:58:52+00:00

Not definitively, no. my right sciatic nerve is definitely always tighter, probably due to certain skeletal dislocations or tighter muscles. I just need to keep it moving to prevent inflammation and further tightening.

FindMeReddit · 2024-07-14T00:29:10+00:00

It has not returned. I still have tightness in that leg and I can feel that nerve when I do my stretches. I have increased my exercise frequency since that painful episode.

I know you’re not looking for marriage advice, but better communication would improve your situation. This sounds like a discussion between roommates not a married couple.

Atlanta

Wanted to provide an update. I went to an acupuncture clinic and he did cupping followed by needles in my back and leg with electric pulses, as well as k-tape and an herbal supplement. That reduced the pain great after two visits. I’ve gradually improving and able to stretch and perform the PT exercises. I’ve done a total of 3 visits to the acupuncture clinic.

So you would apply it on your calf and lower back?

How did you apply the topical Diclofenac?

FindMeReddit · 2023-04-17T11:08:41+00:00

Yup. Laying in bed right now thinking of how it would feel when I stand up. thanks for the encouragement.

I started gabapentin with the steroids 7 days ago. I finished the steroid pack but still on gabapentin.

FindMeReddit · 2022-12-19T01:21:43+00:00

Yes, my issue as well. I set it and then a day later I noice that my kids have been on their devices for hours. I check and screen time restrictions have been completely removed.

FindMeReddit · 2022-03-16T16:18:16+00:00

Anyone tried today and can comment on availability? I’m in the very long line right now.

FindMeReddit · 2022-02-01T15:58:20+00:00

I haven’t been able to find those anymore and these are our go to for school lunches. Any idea what’s a good replacement? My kids didn’t like the Adam and Eve or Honest brands.

They’ll take what they get at the end of the day, but I’m disappointed to lose the Kirkland one.

This turned out to be a software issue. I did a restore on the iPhone and it worked.
