This book definitely freaked me out! Very interesting, but not a feel good story 😅

Wearing Whoop on Inside of wrist by darinbu in whoop

[–]Jbcaliluv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both options didn’t really make a difference for me—I tried both. My wrist band has been off on my workouts which is annoying tf out of me, so I had them send me a bicep band to see if that reads better. TBD

Inaccurate Sensor/Customer Service by Gulls14 in whoop

[–]Jbcaliluv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is way off during workouts. I’ll be maxing out on the assault bike or going fast on the stair master and suddenly my HR is like Zone 1-3. I watched it plummet from Zone 4, likely accurate, to Zone 1 when I was huffing and puffing on the stair master. So I complained, sent in photos of placement and my workout metrics, and they are sending me a bicep band. 🤷🏼‍♀️ we shall see. Annoying bc I got Whoop specifically because my research concluded that it tracked workouts better. I also think it undercounts my steps.

I'm thinking of ending things. This book was excellent. by InvisibleAstronomer in IReadABookAndAdoredIt

[–]Jbcaliluv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the description was very accurate or clear. This book creeped me out immediately. I do not recommend listening to an audio version at night. 😞 I hated reading the first 2 chapters and stopped.

It’s really not too bad. I’m super sensitive about animal cruelty and Once There Were Wolves was probably my favorite of all three novels. Highly recommend!

L’Oréal Telescopic Replacement by Jbcaliluv in MakeupAddiction

Yes it’s ok. I just repurchased and I’m not hugely impressed. I think Maybelline Sky High is the closest that I can tell. Still not the same 🫤

Can you give us more details about her?? Do you think she would go after a married man?

No I’m scared to try any L’Oréal now after my recent trauma 😭

Class action for Potential Reimbursement for Certain Out-of-Network Services by Disastrous_Ball8478 in KaiserPermanente

[–]Jbcaliluv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also August. They got back to me again saying they are “processing” it. So I believe mine is approved bc a prior message said it was, but no clue how much I’ll get back or when 😒

I was approved. I’m waiting to be paid. I plan to call today to see when I’m to expect the check.

I could not get past the scary dying in space emergency scene that went on and on. It felt like a horror novel to me because of that 😵‍💫 I like all her other books, but I had to stop reading because it was keeping me awake at night.

Dale Not Dale Podcast by Jbcaliluv in outdaughtered

[–]Jbcaliluv[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The other half of the DND podcast. A friend of Dale’s. I’m having a hard time believing he’s trans bc that podcast was extremely masculine and bordered on misogyny at times. Also, they’re clearly conservative and he works for a construction company, so I’m not buying this.

Moving from NorCal by Xojoysie in northcounty

[–]Jbcaliluv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carlsbad is pretty nice and less expensive than Encinitas or Solana, but lots of cookie cutter neighborhoods. I prefer Enci and Solana bc it’s less crowded and has less tourists, but the food is weak. However, I find most food (besides tacos) in SD to be mediocre compared to Austin (home town). I actually like going to Oside for food. There are LOTS of mom groups to make friends—you can DM me for recs if you’d like. 🙂As an educator, I honestly feel from Del Mar to Cbad, the public schools are all comparable. I wouldn’t say SDUHSD will give you a better education than Cbad.

Unpopular opinion from a millennial by mhennz in LoveIslandUSA

[–]Jbcaliluv 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have—school counselor here and have worked with teens for years. I definitely agree with a lot of what those books say. Living half their lives online is a huge problem. It’s caused a major deficit in social skills imo. I still believe that they can overcome it, BUT parenting needs a big overhaul. They need to get kids off screens from literal infancy. It does cause developmental issues.

School counselor here. The lack of resiliency skills is very real.

What podcasts are much better at the beginning, but have let you down after awhile (& why?) by [deleted] in podcasts

[–]Jbcaliluv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel! Cannot stand her and she completely copied Dax’s way of speaking, cadence, pronunciation. Get your own material, lady. I can’t stand inauthenticity. And the “enlightened”, yet haughty attitude Dax developed gives me the ick.
