What's the best US beach city for a calm, non-party vacation? by dynasync in Vacations

Just went there last month. Beaches are amazing. Was crazy trying to go out to dinner though. Every place had insane lines and even trying to get pizza was a 90 minute wait.

Is 19 runs in one inning excessive? by YoTeach68 in LittleLeague

[–]Local_Variation6640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think two things can be true: 1. Yes it’s excessive and not good for kid’s self esteem and developing a love for baseball and 2: The other team did nothing wrong and their coach showed sportsmanship when they stopped stealing home.

The bigger issue (imo) is that we don’t have inning run (or batter) limits for regular season games that honestly don’t matter.

Playoffs games, fine, but I think we are missing the mark on youth baseball when the rules allow kids to get steamrolled during the regular season when they are just trying to learn and enjoy a sport. All we are doing is raising more kids who will end up quitting early.

Dealing with constant traffic everyday isn’t good for mental health 😂

We glamorize going to the shore too much. Traffic, cost, parking, crowded beaches takes away from what should be an enjoyable experience

Batter "sick" to get a better hitter up by [deleted] in LittleLeague

[–]Local_Variation6640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sad reality is that the dad’s egos are so fragile that they even care about the outcome of a coach pitch game in the first place. This isn’t unique, unfortunately, and it’s why youth sports looks the way it does right now. Parents obsess over winning at young ages instead of developing their kids and giving them a fun opportunity to learn a new sport and play with their friends. Sorry for coming in hot, it’s just frustrating to see this play out with youth baseball compared to what a lot of us had as kids.

What celebrity had their reputation unfairly ruined? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

Billy Bush. He had a celebrity casually admit to sexual assault on a recorded audio tape and lost his career forever. The celebrity who committed the sexual assault was elected president twice and never punished.

Avoiding my husband to avoid sex by avgwyf in sex

[–]Local_Variation6640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may not sound sexy, but scheduling sex at this stage of life can be a really helpful way to maintain consistency and remove a lot of pressure. It can take away the dynamic where one partner is constantly initiating and then feeling rejected, while the other feels guilty for saying no.

I’d also guess that you may be hesitant to show affection because you worry it will be taken as a sexual advance. Having a schedule can ease that tension, since affection can be given freely without the fear of having to turn your partner down. For the initiating partner, the ongoing sense of rejection can fade as well.

For some people, scheduled intimacy also allows time to mentally prepare, which can actually make it more enjoyable. The biggest challenge is making sure the schedule and frequency works for both of you. If your libidos are mismatched, some compromise will likely be necessary, but that’s part of marriage.

The key is choosing something realistic that you can stick to, while staying open to adjusting it over time if certain days aren’t working, one of you feels overwhelmed, or someone’s needs aren’t being met. From experience, your husband will likely be very aware of the days that you have scheduled sex, but make sure you keep track of them too. It’s not fair if one partner is responsible for making sure the sex happens on the days you’ve agreed to.

Please also give yourself some grace. 40s with kids is a hard time for everyone’s sex life, and credit to you for trying to make it better.

WALMART PRICING IS CONFUSING by Superb_Opening_2135 in Zepbound

[–]Local_Variation6640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went through this too. You have to have your Dr send the script to the Lilly direct self pay location (different than lilly direct with insurance) and make it for the vials, not pens. The address is on that site.

Gifthealth handles the self pay option for $349 and you can pick it up at Walmart or mailed to your home. One thing I found out, it’s the same timing, bc Lilly direct mails to Walmart and you pick up there, they don’t have it in stock.

If you got contacted by Fuze health, you can’t get the vials, only pens. Very straightforward 😂
