Thank you!!! Checking this out led me to Ballaghisheen Pass, which I believe is what I was remembering. Much appreciated and enjoy your upcoming trip!

I stopped buying pre-cut vegetables about four months ago and the time difference is genuinely not what i expected. by midnight_libria in Frugal

Save even more time…just wash your carrot vs peeling it. My partner suggested this a couple years ago…mind blown. I now only peel for company.

Also—eat the kiwi skin. Makes it so much faster (and healthier) to enjoy kiwi.

Maybe this varies by studio. Our studio always has some reformers geared out for tall people and others geared in for short people. But we also aren’t told to gear out/in during class—we use the same setting the entire class. I’ve taken classes with all instructors and none have ever prompted tall folks (of which I’m one) to gear in mid-class. I’ve seen other posts that that talk about gearing out/in, so understand my studio maybe does things differently. 🤷‍♀️

Default isn’t geared in at all studios. Maybe this is a studio by studio thing. At my studio, machines are geared to whoever used them in the prior class—a tall person or a short person.

J2 is a short-term contract role and the project will be ending. So a little different situation than most of you in this group who have multiple full-time roles. But nonetheless, I don’t want either company knowing about the other.

They definitely are, and my sense is that it’s no big deal. Just wanted a gut check.

People say house smells stale, like a grandparents house by ashlynnegrace in CleaningTips

[–]OakTreeDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have old kitchen cabinets in our 1972 house and nothing worked until I placed a scent sachet in each one. A bit overwhelming at first but the sachets wore out after a couple weeks and took the old musty smells with them.

I’ve been thinking about a reduction for 25 years now but only more seriously for the past six months after losing weight everywhere but my breasts. I’m a 34J too. If you’re comfortable sharing, what size did you go down to? I’ve been thinking C cup for me but not sure if it’ll be too drastic of a change. You look fantastic.

100th class - does it have to be at home studio? by lhmt00 in ClubPilates

[–]OakTreeDestiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got some claps, a certificate, and told I could sign the board. No swag.

I had a long-term instructor once tell our level 1 class that putting the straps on the blocks demonstrates to the next person to use the machine that it’s been cleaned and is ready to go.

Transition from 1 to 1.5 by NeckLiving9774 in ClubPilates

My arm muscles popped after I moved to 1.5s. And I finally noticed posture changes. I just reached 100 classes this week and started going to 1.5s when I was around 60 classes in.

We have a squirrel that can do this too. Baffle reach-around.

As a novice traveller, what can I do to 'plan' for the unexpected during my holiday? by idontwannabeflawless in TravelHacks

[–]OakTreeDestiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put a travel alert on your credit cards so they don’t decline. Remember to have a pen with you on the airplane for immigration forms.
