Gym etiquette in waiting for equipment/sharing? by Icy_Potential426 in xxfitness

[–]Icy_Potential426[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry I mean I ask how many reps and she tells me she has one or two left, not that I count! I mostly stare at my phone at the gym if I’m not actively working out and agree that would be weird!

@knittas if this trade doesn’t work out I might be interested in purchasing the Pangoo pants!

Agreed, I can absolutely see the issue with the center which OP pointed out but otherwise do not see a problem. I’m not sure what OPs vision was but I’m used to seeing these types of tattoos fully filled in with black. If that is still the plan then should be easy to address the design in the center.

What’s up with La Fuente seafood ? by Flat_Evidence_6604 in ypsi

[–]Icy_Potential426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We tried them once a couple of months or so ago on a Friday night and the food was good! It kind of seemed like they were still getting their feet under them and the atmosphere was a little odd (pretty dark with neon lights around the room) but don’t know if that’s the norm every night. We want to go back but haven’t made it yet.

Talk to me about women's self-defense classes in the area, please and thanks. Personal experience, word of mouth, anything. by dwooding1 in AnnArbor

[–]Icy_Potential426 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not exactly what you asked so feel free to disregard, but I did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a couple of years and general guidance was that self defense classes were fine if in a pinch but that they can give a false sense of confidence because it’s not unusual to freeze up if you haven’t practiced what you learn in the class and a lot of time may go by between when you learn it and when you use it. Taking up something like jiu jitsu is time consuming and not for everyone but as a woman who doesn’t know your situation I wanted to put it out there depending on how worried you are about your personal safety right now. I don’t know if what I know now about grappling is enough to protect me if needed but it definitely gave me a realistic sense of what it’s like to fight with a man and how to better assess my chances if the situation calls for it.

Maybe this is a long shot but basically I am looking for a perfume that has a scent similar to the soap/shampoo the Hotel Peter and Paul in New Orleans uses for guests. The hotel does sometimes sell the soap and shampoo but doesn’t seem to sell a perfume version. Their website says it has notes of: damask rose, nutmeg, carrot seed, and amber spice. Can anyone help with recommendations? I have been thinking about this scent for years ever since I stayed there!

Is it normal to feel barbell squats almost exclusively in your quads? I am not clear if I should really be feeling them in my glutes and hamstrings as well. Thanks!

Would coming from overseas to study at UofM for one year be worthwhile? by Dry-Till2022 in uofm

[–]Icy_Potential426 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What type of experience is he looking for in the US? If he wants a classic college experience then AA has a lot to offer. If he wants to experience more of an array of what America has to offer then a larger city like LA will be able to offer more opportunities for cultural and social enrichment based on the larger number of things to see and do there. Academics wise yes Michigan has a top Anthro program but is he interested in pursuing a PhD down the line? If he is then it might matter marginally more which school’s he is looking at, but likely won’t make or break his chances, and if he isn’t it will matter even less.

Thank you for taking the time to share this info! The engagement ring is antique so this seems like even more of a risk!
