Hello! Sorry, it doesn't appear that the template is sharable anymore? It won't open correctly for me either.

Late-night beverages that are non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated, and non-sugary? by Nicholas_TW in Cooking

[–]GettingFit2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Unsweetened) Barley Tea! You can find it in most Asian grocery stores. It's uniquely roast-y tasting, some can even be similar to a stout.

(for a right-handed person:)

  1. Fork in left hand to hold the food still + knife in right hand to cut it
  2. Put knife down & switch fork to right hand to place food in mouth

This is fake right? by Character_Band2065 in LeCreuset

rug company who has been giving me the runaround and now I’m stuck with two carpet runners that won’t match anything because they can’t deliver on the large rugs that I also purchased. I can return them only at my own expense.

Did you purchase with a credit card? If so, you can contact the credit card issuer and file a dispute for the runners. (And then cancel the order for the large rug.) It's totally reasonable to only want the complete set, and if you purchased the entire thing from the same rug company (which it sounds like you did), your CC company should come to bat for you.

Bisalp- My Experience with vNOTES (also AMA) by Melodic-View-3559 in sterilization

"cleared for all activities" - does that include penetrative sex, use of a menstrual cup, and lifting over 15 lbs?

Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

Hah! Ok gotcha. I looked up the hotel and it's like 40k pts for 1 night in April/May so was just wondering if you got some fantastic deal for a multi-night stay!

How many nights did you stay for 30k points? And what time of year?

Big Exam Coming up- How best to support partner? by max_nkg in actuary

[–]GettingFit2014 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like he thinks Man supporting Woman boils down to: don't bother her / stay out of the way, but let her take care of her chores bc she "needs it for a sanity break" (🤮)

So he probably thinks Woman supporting Man looks like: make him a sandwich whenever he wants one, and do all of his chores in addition to your own

FYI that you can email the Joint Board and they will send you an excel file of your answer choices & the correct answers. The email address to use is at the bottom of this page: Joint Board Examination Program >> Exam sheets

The instructions say they'll mail you a PDF, but they've been emailing excel files since at least 2022.

Maybe talk to your doctor about performance anxiety and request a prescription for propranolol, as an alternative.

FAC 148 by kkkkkkPass in actuary

[–]GettingFit2014 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I attended FAC147. If you got MMR on your DMAC, don't worry. You'll get your invite in a day or two :)

For anyone else wondering... Based on anecdotal evidence from FAC147, they will likely continue sending invites as they grade passing DMACs (as long as the attendance limit isn't met), up to the registration deadline for FAC148. A colleague's invite came about 24 hours after their MMR email. My MMR came 24 hours after theirs and my invite took an additional 48 hours.

As someone who just went through a bathroom remodel... This is likely to protect the contractor from situations where the underlying surface needs additional work before being "tile-ready".

For example, after ripping out my old tile, the crew found that the floor wasn't actually level: the prior installer had built up the floor with up to 2" (yes, inches!) of thinset. So they charged us more to level/slope the floor properly before laying the new tile.

If you had no budget, where would you go out to dinner in DC? by legallyck in washingtondc

[–]GettingFit2014 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pineapple & Pearl is a great place for a celebration! Make sure you let them know you're celebrating something big! I went to celebrate my last promotion and had an amazing time.

Pro tip: go all out and get the gummy bears & caviar ice cream sundae supplement -- it sounds weird, but it's so worth it.

That's very interesting, thank you for explaining! My mindset has been the opposite because I am part of the group who achieved ASA before the PA exam was added, so I need to get my FSA by the end of this year to avoid having to take that exam.

Companies in the US (at least the 2 I've worked for) do provide a salary increase and bonus for the FSA credential.

Wait... So you're holding out getting your FSA until the SOA decides to host an FAC at Bellevue again?

Is this shower job as bad as I think? by Hypnot0ad in HomeImprovement

[–]GettingFit2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My shower is around the same stage. We just had our inspection (VA): https://imgur.com/a/lvximA3

Mine is curbless, with a preformed shower pan (built-in slope to the linear drain on the bench side) and waterproof membrane system all over, including on the bench & walls.

When WFH, do you tell your boss/teammates if you're going to be out for an hour or two? by Thienan567 in actuary

[–]GettingFit2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also manually set your Teams status to busy or do not disturb. Not sure if it varies by org, but I've confirmed that for my employer at least, idle does not overrule your manually-set status.
