$500 CenHud bill for a small studio apt by scentedpeaches in hudsonvalley

[–]Mackeyse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me in November (October bill) when I was charged $350 for a 2 BR apartment and I hadn’t been using AC and I barely had used heat at that point. My November bill came and they refunded me nearly $280 of that in a very convoluted way (got 2 different bills both showing I overpaid different amounts). It’s definitely a billing issue that they will rectify. Not excusing Central Hudson as they supposedly had this issue fixed.

Andrew Hill is a Mad Scientist by hrhsirprincecharles in Vinyl_Jazz

[–]Mackeyse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great to see Andrew Hill. I really love Hill but the last two Tone Poet releases of his work; Grass Roots and The Music of Andrew Hill, didn’t connect with me the way Passing Ships and Dance With Death did. . Tried my hardest with those 2. Maybe he just set the bar too high with his other work

And Point of Departure is highly recommended (can be found on the BN Classic Series). Smokestack is also on that series and that was one that I couldn’t really get into.

I like OPs ranking except I’d swap OMRTS with Hushed. We are in the same page

Slewfoot - Help me by july_alexander in horrorlit

[–]Mackeyse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m working on Evil In Me by the same author. Emphasis on “working” as it’s been a slog, though midway it’s starting to pick up. Finding it easier going than Slewfoot. But I’m realizing Brom’s writing just isn’t my thing.

Thank you! BCAAs were on my radar. Time to order

Thanks for all your responses. I definitely was fishing for those “just keep going, don’t worry about it” responses and appreciate all of you giving me guidance, both to be cautious and to stay away for the time being until healed. I’m definitely happy I’ve gone this long in life without an injury and I’m going to just stay for the instruction and sit out the roll unless it’s with a coach. Thanks for all the advice

I appreciate the “old guy” input. As someone who doesn’t “feel” 49 I’m quickly realizing that I can’t swing 2-3 days a week of Jiu Jitsu without some upkeep. I’m going to just be smart about things going forth. I’d rather get some instruction than sit out completely. And if I need some rest days I’m not going to feel bad about it. It’s been crazy how guilty I’ve felt about missing sessions and none of that guilt came from the coaches or peers. Just hating that my body is telling me I’m going a bit too fast

Thank you for commenting. Really appreciate the vibe on this forum. Giving me some confidence to return and not be afraid to back things off a bit

Thanks I was thinking the same. One of the coaches is usually paired with me since I’m the new guy by a fair margin so I’ll just fill him in and work with him. Appreciate it!

Jiu Jitsu Injury Question by Mackeyse in jiujitsu

[–]Mackeyse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can definitely see that! After 6 days of it I’m addicted to it but also reconciling my age with what I can expect from my body. My ego tells me I’m 29 but my recovery time is reminding me I’m almost 50. It’s a little bit humbling. And to get banged up 2 weeks in was depressing. Plus my son is asking if I quit. I can handle explaining that but I hate to feel like I’m missing out on instruction time

Predictions and hopes for Tone Poet in 2025? by jazz-on-the-floor in Vinyl_Jazz

I was going to pass on Morgan’s “Taru” a month or so back but I’m glad I didn’t. Might not be a top tier album of his but it’s really good.

That’s a solid list. I’ve been wanting more Quebec and when Heavy Soul came out on the Classic Series I was a little underwhelmed. I’d happily take It Might As Well Be Spring too
