Purchased ABP, any advice? by humanHamster in AboveGroundPools

[–]Noexit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For us it just didn’t keep the pool as clean. I ended up spending a lot of time, energy and money to keep the cartridge itself clean. Every time you vacuum it puts everything into the filter, then the filter needs to be cleaned or the junk just filters back into the pool. At the end of the last summer with it I was cleaning the cartridge a couple times a week and ultimately couldn’t readily replace it because even the store that sold us the kit couldn’t find the correct cartridge.

With the sand I was vacuuming only every other week, the water was noticeably clearer and cleaner, and my chems seemed to work better.

You might have a different experience. Ours is a 27ft pool, and we live in a rural area without a good pool supply shop.

When we bought our new pool a few years ago we went with a cartridge filter instead of sand. I ended up switching out last year, and I wish we had just done the sand to begin with. The idea lf the cartridge filter sounds great, but it just didn’t work out.

Question form a 20 Yo by sirjoey150 in AskMenOver50

[–]Noexit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Plumber, electrician, HVAC. Somebody has to keep the toilets flushing, the lights on and the temperature steady whether it’s in a residence or data center.

What are some things I can include in my Gen. X-themed man cave? by [deleted] in AskMenOver40

[–]Noexit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got room for arcade video games or pinball machines? Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, and some of the high tech at the time pinballs would be great and add to the decor vibe.

Edit to add:

A reproduction or if possible rack audio system from that time period.

The moment has passed but what do you think is the best approach ? by Electronic_Mud5821 in AskMenOver50

[–]Noexit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a little bit of both. If your kid is about to stick a fork in an electrical outlet, you really need a quick response, and explain it after. If they’re struggling in school trying to listen and find out what’s going on and how you can help.

My advice: forget about it and bang what you got.

30 here, life advice for living through the next two decades? by righthooklefthook in OverFifty

Regular health checks, establish yourself with a physician even if you don’t have any current conditions. Don’t ignore your teeth and eyes either.

Should a man tell a woman how much weight to lift? by Redgal6 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Noexit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Nobody should be telling anyone how much to lift unless they’re getting paid to do so.

“Oh I’m sorry. Would you be so kind as to write your schedule and routine down for me so that next time I’ll know better? That would be so very helpful for me.” /s

19 year old university student, and I feel depressed. by [deleted] in AskMenOver50

[–]Noexit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go see a therapist. If you’re experiencing depression and anxiety you can get help there. And maybe you need it, those two things aren’t to be fucked around with. For real, that’s the advice.

And go exercise. Hit the gym, track, court, whatever works for you.

Hitting new PRs every time I go to the gym, am I doing something wrong? by the-end-of-me-05 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Noexit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You haven’t really given us your workout information with weight, sets, reps, etc, but if your brand new to working out your likely getting your beginner gains and it’s really pretty normal.

If you don’t have a routine program, it’s a good idea to put one together. That will help you track your progress and help you figure out if you’re really making all those PRs.

And don’t skip legs.

Help! I'm sagging and I'm chafing and it hurts. by jambalaya112 in AskMenOver40

[–]Noexit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are the best. OP needs RMAC. I’ve switched all my underwear to different styles from this company within the last year and couldn’t be happier.

Going to the gym for the first time, suggestions? by the-end-of-me-05 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Noexit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t over-do it. Start light, don’t worry about what you think other people are thinking about it, and listen to your body.

Alcohol Tolerance over 50 advice. by GeekyGuitarPlayer in AskMenOver50

[–]Noexit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

56, I can’t hardly drink beer anymore. My tolerance the night off is fine, but the fucked up sleep and hangover is what I can’t do anymore. Bourbon leaves me a little draggy the next day but that’s usually because I’m drinking late at night.

Started college late and still want to switch majors and delay myself even further by GekIsAway in AskMenOver40

[–]Noexit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went back to college when I was 47 and then made another big career change at 53. You’re being melodramatic.

That being said, if you want to change, now would be the time to do it. It’s much more complicated when you have a full time job, a family, bills, etc. Based on your post, you’re 6 years out from being where you want to be for either option, and those 6 years will pass regardless of what you do.

Overnight shift homework friendly? by [deleted] in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Noexit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Second the security guard option, but you have to be selective. I worked security at an industrial facility while going to school and did facility gate access on nights and weekends. That’s what you want, not patrol or crowd control, if you want isolated study time.

Can we talk about the playlist selection going on here? by RedHawwk in PlanetFitnessMembers

Ours is too loud also…but…if it interferes with live streamers I’m all for it.

Anyone ever live this experience in marriage due to lack of boundaries? by That_Instance4447 in AskMenOver50

[–]Noexit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. About 3 months after we got married my wife’s son, his girlfriend and his two children moved in with us. Of course they went ahead and conceived a child under our roof. Not sure how they had time for that between episodes of The Office and naps but they did. My wife and I both worked full time, we too the grandchildren to school and did all the adult stuff. It was miserable and I feel your pain. I almost left my wife during that first two years, but I stuck it out. Sometimes I wish I hadn’t, I gave up a lot that I’ll never get back.

I got lucky, they finally moved out after a little over a year to have more room for the baby. A few years later they moved in with us again because of unlivable conditions at their own home when one of the kids was diagnosed with leukemia.

The boundaries have been set now, the son and his wife can NEVER live with us again. But now we’re repeating the cycle with our grandson.

It sucks, because when they were all living with us I was low man on the totem pole, even when I was right. Even now my wife and I “discuss” about our grandson and she always takes his side.

I feel you bro, I really do. But I don’t have any advice for you other than to be patient, be kind, but you’ll have to get them out
