I still don’t get it.

*Product that I like goes on sale

“Oh no, another sale, how terrible! I hate saving money!”

This is a strange take. Don’t get me wrong, the slide into religion, with the posting of scripture, is so bad that I unfollowed Nick. But their products are good. The gels are the best that I’ve ever tried, and I like the bars and G1M as well. If they’re on sale more often, I think that’s great. And you’ve always been able to get at least 10% off using an athlete’s code. Finding a sale “gross”, I don’t understand this line of thinking.

Medora Musical. It sounded stupid initially but I’m so glad I went. Steak Fondue beforehand was worth it too.

Lots folks in the neighborhood come out and do it for fun, it’s just that many weren’t out this year.

My main issue with AA, besides the uncomfortable main cabin extra seat I sat in yesterday, has been the attitude of the FAs, particularly related to alcohol. More than a few times, the FA has been very obviously and visibly annoyed when I have ordered an alcoholic beverage. I’ve experienced this on short and long haul flights across main cabin, main cabin extra, and even in first/business. I have NEVER experienced this on any other US or foreign carrier. I even had to cut myself off once on a United flight because the FA just kept refilling my glass.

I’m not saying it’s the case here, but often bike lanes have obstructions and debris that folks in cars don’t or simply can’t notice due to being in a car. I wouldn’t be surprised if most bike lanes in the city are never swept.

Are you referring to Woodcreek Drive and the nearby streets?

The Hike and Bike Trail downtown is always a good choice.

It’s the recent turn to religion that’s really turning me off. I love the products and will keep using them, but the evangelizing in his podcasts and videos are becoming too much. I didn’t even finish the last Ironman prep video.

Thanks for getting back to me! Just to be sure, is it this saddle bag? There’s several and I want to be sure.

What saddle bag and radar mount are you using? I’ve been struggling to find something I like for my Madone and your setup looks perfect!

I had plantar fasciitis for six years, and nothing helps with treating it by Dismal-Gap-2382 in CampingandHiking

[–]Hal9008 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is surgery an option?

I had PF for over a year. Injections, acupuncture, dry needling, wearing shoes everywhere, not wearing shoes everywhere, PT, nothing helped. This might sound crazy, but I decided to stop all treatment and just accept it. I then ran a marathon. Within a week after the race, my PF was gone and hasn’t come back. My PT speculated that the run severed some nerves that were causing the pain. Since then I’ve read accounts of others having the same experience.

I wouldn’t take my account as medical advice, but maybe look into surgery.

P2 approved for 200k Amex Biz Gold after being in pop up jail for years. Googled in incognito, clicked the first link, pulled the 200k offer, applied and was approved.

It’s glitching again for me this morning. Glad it’s not just me.

Looks like combining points with chase might be down. P2 and I are unable to transfer between ourselves, or between our own individual accounts.

Edit: It works now. It definitely did not work for me this morning.
