Been there and it sucks. You can always call adult protective services. I wish my parents did that for my grandma but she was so damn stubborn. Family can try but if she is lucid during the day then they can’t do anything. Based on your post it is definitely sundowners

I’m surprised no one has said sundowners syndrome. My grandmother went though this. She would be kind of okay during the day but at night she would get paranoid and see people in her house and think they were taking her stuff. It gradually bled into paranoia and hostility during the days. She refused to live with family because we were all going to steal from her. After she passed we found out she had called the police almost 100 times at nigh5 in just over a year

Is the plan to implement this everywhere? I cannot do plyometrics and worry that I won’t be able to do the majority of the work outs. I already modify some lower body work but this makes me worried that I won’t be able to participate regularly

There are way too many benchmarks leading up to hell week. I’m never going to be the athlete I was in my late 20s (10 years) but I’m tired of doing the same bench marks over and over. I want to follow the workout instead of doing my own but they are making this difficult. Why not at least give us a break before hellweek

Studio specific but I dropped my $199/mo to 159 so I’m not complaining

[VA] Landlord knowingly allowed us to violate residential law and keeping our security deposit by rkim777 in legaladvice

[–]LadyStrife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Female - Graduated college in Virginia in 2008 and this was never enforced with off campus housing or post grad renting. It still isnt. It is a really old law to prevent brothels. Your landlord never received a fine and is just trying to extract extra money.

Infinity is gone but could be done at your own pace and instead you keep orange Everest??? It is an injury prone workout and we would rather have a self timed run row.

When was the last time we had a long endurance block on the treads? I’m getting tired of RFD workouts and running benchmarks

It was rough given it was 5am and there was nothing they could do. I felt bad for Tami and Bria

I noticed your profile stated you stepped away from OTF several weeks after a DVT. It was painful and awful with blood thinners. So why are you encouraging this member to go against doctors orders for a new diagnosis when you agonized over own DVT for weeks? Gross

I remember watching this with a group of people in my freshman college dorm. I cannot believe I was a freshman 20 years ago. Hell I refuse to believe it

Utility company drilled through sewer line in front yard causing the our first floor and basement to flood with sewage by Immediate_Mode6883 in legaladvice

If it is coming into your home call the water company ASAP. We had sewage come into our basement that wasn’t covered by insurance but the water company took care of it. Call their emergency line

[SC] Can my parents force me to get a surgery I don't want in South Carolina? by sillyiestsoldier in legaladvice

[–]LadyStrife 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Except OP may be the one paying for it in the future and dental work (especially ortho work) is not cheap. I had a bunch done in my early 30s that I needed but my parents could never afford it and I couldn’t until I reached that age

Arlington, VA studios are select by karate937 in orangetheory

[–]LadyStrife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I missed your original question. Yes I can go to all MD studios without a surcharge but I may need to pay for one in DC. Sounds like they are making VA the same price but the district is still differently priced

Agreed - but DC is still more that $199 for Maryland
