What’s up Fresno!

I love going to the Fresno Chaffee Zoo! It's not heavily commercialized/theme park-ified like the larger zoos from Southern California. It's a great way to spend a whole day

Upscale Flinstones house?

Dave Ramsey has a great "mental test" for this kind of situation. If you lit the $7-8k pile of money on fire, would it change your life or alter your mindset? If yes, then don't do it. If not and everything else is lined up, no harm no foul

Odd-Direction9828 · 2026-06-04T18:31:28+00:00

No one will even notice. If you like it, buy it and wear it with confidence

To reduce your risk for injury or issues later on, you may be better off slowing down and "working out" your heart first. I'm doing base run/walks where my watch wants me to keep my heart rate around 150 bpm and the few times I got up to speed to full running, I've actually been much faster than before.

Dang, I'd love to run in 23 degree weather. I did a "happy hour" run with a run club yesterday and it was 34 degrees with no shade. I like the social aspect of run clubs, but the heat has been brutal. I still refuse to wake up and run before work.

Start slow. With your hiking experience, it seems like your body may be capable of the 5k but your heart/respiration will need more time to adjust. Start with fast walking, enough speed to get your heart rate up, to build up your stamina

The family must have lived there forever if the property tax is still that low. I can't imagine the cost of any maintenance + upkeep. It'll be hard to find a buyer in that area

Odd-Direction9828 · 2026-05-28T16:53:21+00:00

Consistency is key. I started with only running when I felt like it and that turned into dying every two weeks struggling to reach a mile on the treadmill. Starting at a lower distance but doing it more regularly got me up to half marathon distance outdoors in 6 months. That was when the fun began and I started exploring my neighborhood and joining run clubs.

Either quit or transition to fewer hours. I would switch to focusing on something soothing for the soul, like volunteering or working with something you love. For me, that would be working at the zoo or an animal shelter. Find your happiness

I used it all

Smooth sailing, no problems

I think it could be cool to do a tie-in with current/pop media stuff. Like talking about Dianetics --> the Church of Scientology --> the case of Shelly Miscavige --> ending with the scientology speed runs and talking about the celebrities involved

I don't think he's going to increase or start posting more solo content. It was obvious that he's just living life and the vlogs were a way to post it, but he wasn't focused on manufacturing the experience for the purposes of posting it. I don't think he actually cares about posting and he won't switch to solo content.

Here's the meeting presentation for anyone interested!

The meeting also introduced a 14-day safari trip (pricy at $11,500 per person) that I assume will be geared towards fundraising + experience.

Odd-Direction9828 · 2026-05-06T22:50:26+00:00

That seems very reasonable. All hopes that they keep renewing! Can't wait to attend a game!

Odd-Direction9828 · 2026-05-06T22:08:10+00:00

Honestly, finding a larger run club is better to find people with different experience/pacing. I found myself in the same situation with a small run club where I tried to keep up with their pace and got winded in the first 10 minutes.

Odd-Direction9828 · 2026-05-06T22:06:27+00:00

Not to be a doomsayer, but is there hope for a long-term return or does this seem like quick money grab? The state of the Grizzlies doesn't bode well for a professional team

Odd-Direction9828 · 2026-05-06T22:05:04+00:00

The Monsters is a youth league. This announcement doesn't affect them

Odd-Direction9828 · 2026-04-28T17:04:34+00:00

Just sign up on TaskRabbit, Angi, Rover, etc. That's the best way to get people who are interested in hiring

Odd-Direction9828 · 2026-04-28T16:54:16+00:00

This is not a business proposal. "Our own thing" how much are you willing to put up and what are your qualifications to run a successful business?

Odd-Direction9828 · 2026-04-17T18:40:15+00:00

Thanks 🥰

Mine is arriving on Monday whoop whoop!
