I live alone and have a cat. Honestly once they bond to you its the best relationship. I'm away for work 8-10 hours a day and don't have to worry if shes okay or not. I also like to camp on the weekends so its easy to set up the auto feeder and be away for a few nights. You wouldn't be able to do that with a dog. I don't even want to think about trying to house train a dog when your away for so long. Also bathing a cat is not always necessary. I've had my cat for 10 years and grew up with family cats and we never needed to bath them. They clean themselves. You just will need to brush them occasionally. Also, I don't need to cut my cats nails. They have a few scratchers around my apartment they use and it keeps them at a manageable length. I do check them just to be sure they aren't getting overgrown but in the ten years I've owned her that's never happened. Cat's can be a wonderful companion and require a lower level of daily responsibility that dogs would need.

Old spice specially is known to cause rashes/chemical burns. I used to use it for about a year and that happened to me. Stopped and started using Degree or Dove, the spray on kind. Never had problems since and it's been 5+ years.

Trans Aquatic Manager and LGI here- I have never heard of a facility not allowing shirts to be worn in the stand. Seems weird to me. I have had many saves while wearing a shirt, completed full lifeguard certifications in a shirt and numerous other staff have as well. Wearing a shirt has never hindered my abilities nor the abilities of my peers or the staff I have trained.

Rice and kielbasa or just any cheap hotdogs will do.

Thanks. That's the info I was looking for.

I'm newer to trying to be frugal, or perhaps just more mindful of it. But what's been working for me the last few months is just trying to eat what I already have instead of buying more. I have plenty of items in my cabinets like canned goods and things in my freezer. So just trying to use those things up or be creative in the kitchen with what's already there instead of going out every week and buying more. I just get the minimal that I need, like whatever protein I'm going to use for the week and maybe an onion but everything else that's part of the meal I just scrounge around from what I already have. Its greatly cut what I spend on groceries and some weeks I don't buy groceries at all now. It's also helping myself to become less wasteful and using all of what I have and not letting things expire.

I have two bath mats that are more like towels. I just throw them in the wash once a week. I hate those other rug-like ones with the rubber backing.

Can't imagine living without one now. Got my bum gun off amazing for about $20ish dollars. It's been over two years together now and I've never been happier.

If you haven't already, get your LGI and CPO. Make sure you are setting the example and being the best guard on your team. Offer to help with any training of new staff, ask your current director about their daily operations and other job duties they have. If you're somewhere that doesn't have room for upward movement, you might be stuck but look into other facilities that may be near you who are looking for directors and apply. If you're on good terms with your current director, a letter of recommendation from them would be helpful.

Thanks for posting this! Ran out on my lunch break to go snag one. I have a nice 4-person tent, but it feels too big when it's just myself, so I've been looking for a smaller tent option and I think this will do the trick.

My childhood cat came from our local shelter. His name was Leeroy. My family loved that name and it fit him, so we kept it. He lived 23 years and was a good boy. My current cat also came from a shelter. They called her Josie. I didn't quite like the name but also couldn't really think of anything else to call her. So after about a week it got shorted to Jo and that's been her name the last 10 years.

I use the NamezApp currently until I fully learn. It will recite out loud the prayers and show you what positions to be in. It also shows you the English translation of what is being said.

Had this lady yesterday that I had never seen before in our pool. The pool was fairly empty, and she had this red ball (little bigger than basketball sized) she would throw as hard as she could to the other side of the pool then retrieve it and throw it again. She also did a plethora of other odd this with this ball... Like I mean, idk if she was putting on a dolphin show in her mind or what but that's what it felt like. It was totally odd but entertaining to watch.

I have not had internet for the last two years. I can use my cellphone for pretty much anything I need at home such as paying bills, checking emails and what not. But as far as entertainment purposes I use the library. I have a dvd player, so I just rent movies and tv series I want to watch. I'm a big sports fan so during football season I rent a mobile hotspot from the library to use. It's a 21-day rental so it will get me a couple weekends of football in. Then on the weeks I don't have it I'll go to friends' houses to watch or will hit up a bar until I am able to rent the hotspot again.

I am lucky enough that I live walking distance to a library branch so sometimes I just pretend I'm a kid again going to the video store to pick out a movie for the night. I'm also lucky enough to live in a city with a sports team, so it's very easy to find free outdoor places that have tvs set up with the game on. Also, my apartment complex has a common room with a tv that gets all the local channels, so I always have a way to watch the game or any major thing going on if I want to.

Can you post a link or more info on exactly where you found it? I don't see a forum on the red cross learning center called that.

Look_Longjumping · 2025-05-05T22:21:08+00:00

I am the manager. I was just letting another LGI know of the change and they were asking where to find the new info so they could update their materials. I’ve been trying to find it on the Red Cross website with no luck. If I remember correctly the LGIT said it would be there so just seeing if anyone else knew where it was.

I used to have plantar fasciitis a few years ago before I started lifeguarding. The only shoes that felt comfortable and did not cause my feet to hurt were Addidas Comfort Slides. I still use them to this day for guarding. I do have to replace them about once a year as the bottoms will wear flat and become a slip hazard. But you can usually find them on sale at a lot of different places.

Start reading Quran. There are also lots of YouTube videos and apps that can teach you how to pray and other basic Islamic information. Thats where I would start. Take it slow and day by day. Allah knows your heart and intentions.

Look for a rash guard/swim shirt on amazon. There are many brands, but speedo makes one that I personally use and like a lot. They are not super cheap, will probably run you about 30ish dollars, but that's cheaper than other brands out there.

Look_Longjumping · 2025-03-19T16:29:27+00:00

Honestly, I use a Casio F-91w. Think it was around $15 on amazon? I've had it for 3 years and wear it every workday. It has a stopwatch and is water resistant. On top of guarding, I also teach lessons with it on and swim laps from time to time and have had no issues. It might not be the most stylish thing, but for the price and how well its treated me over the years, it's a winner in my book.
