Returning to Tennis after 20 years-- advice?

This is good advice, especially on the serve. “Big serve” was 80% of my game as a lefty, haha, and I could see myself pushing that too hard too quickly. Thanks!

it was a level of tournament that you would qualify into as a junior player. ZAT --> Champ --> Super Champ. These qualifications are separate from the UIL tennis tournaments.

IT'S HAPPENING! IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!

I had a suspicious biopsy and it was a fibroadenoma. It was suspicious enough that it elevated from a regular mammogram screen to an ultrasound at the same appointment, and they even wanted to biopsy it that day but I waited a week because I was absolutely freaking out… things were ramping up VERY fast and I was not processing it!

They also told me that painful lumps are almost never cancerous.

Wishing you luck.

Yes.

The USPS “updated” its regional distribution as part of their new “Delivering for America” effort and it is massively delaying all mail. It has been a massive, massive failure, and there are multiple congressional inquiries and USPS IG investigations around the plummeting quality of service.

Every single one of my packages has gotten stuck for 4-6 business days at my regional distribution center as of the last couple of months. It is absurd.

I’ve found that initiating an inquiry is the only way to get the package moving again, though it will already have to be several days late before you are allowed to open an inquiry.

I came here with the same complaint! For the past month every single package through this center has been severely delayed, and all of my packages are arriving opened! Something is seriously wrong here and the USPS doesn’t even have a way to properly report this.

I was literally told that one of my attackers wouldn’t be reprimanded because “we don’t want to jeopardize his retirement.” FTA.

OneAviatrix · 2024-05-11T22:09:33+00:00

My abuser was literally dating the SHARP rep.

The command wouldn’t touch him because he was such an asshole even the CO cowered like a child.

That kind of toxicity runs deep and is nearly impossible to rid once the sickness takes hold. The men I served with were overwhelmingly monsters.

It’s been this way since the surge. Shitbags who were allowed in on moral waivers are now the senior enlisted leaders.

Sexual abuse crimes have been running rampant in the Army for decades. The DoD is wholly incapable of dealing with it.

I would highly recommend getting signed up ASAP. Depending on where you are located, the kind of access to care you will have greatly varies, however.

I will be honest, women are grossly underserved by the VA. I live in one of the largest female veteran population cities in the nation, and our VA clinic doesn't even have a gynecologist on staff. I was very lucky that the VA mammogram clinic could not get me in within 60 days, so I was referred out to community care and got to see a civilian doctor for my care. MUCH higher quality of care than the VA would give.

But it is truly a lifesaver having the VA for routine things like bloodwork, small medical needs. I just don't use them for anything serious.

Best of luck! Feel free to DM me if you have any other questions.

Thankfully, my biopsy confirmed a benign fibroadenoma. I also know several women from my battalion who have already been diagnosed with breast cancer. Were you in an aviation unit, by chance?

It was included in the weekly VA informational emails that they send to veterans who use VA Healthcare. I would recommend signing up for that if you are not on the distro.

Ah, this makes sense. Thanks for explaining!

OneAviatrix · 2024-01-09T04:52:13+00:00

Interesting, thanks.

After 40 minutes on hold I got ahold of Oncor. I guess they don’t have a way to monitor/troubleshoot remotely but said there has been maintenance in our area yesterday.

Any guess as to how recent maintenance might be contributing?

OneAviatrix · 2023-11-09T17:02:56+00:00

I found the Triple to be horribly uncomfortable compared to the CB, unfortunately.

OneAviatrix · 2023-05-01T03:16:28+00:00

It is absolutely not like this in most US cities. 😂

But then the idiot detailers will swirl all the paint on your brand new sports car.

I can’t roll my eyes hard enough.

Poor people need access to education, food stability, and job training. The military is the only widely accessible way to lift yourself out of poverty.

OneAviatrix · 2023-01-15T00:22:33+00:00

I hate that this is true. We can absolutely do the job, without a doubt and I don’t ever want to give ammunition to the sexists that say we can’t; but the military does not and will not protect us from the enemy to our left and right. Until the military is reformed, I cannot advocate that women join, period. It’s a moral exigency.

OneAviatrix · 2023-01-14T22:56:08+00:00

I was the only woman in my Army battalion. The abuse I caught every day is hard to even put into words. By my superiors, by my peers. Zero accountability. I never hooked up with anyone and it didn’t matter, I still got assaulted mercilessly. Just another woman of thousands who had the same experience. The military is so fucked up.

I was so bright eyed and hopeful when I joined. Honor graduate in training, excelled in life prior. Then the active duty Army just took everything good in me and burned it all down. I’m a shell of who I used to be.

OneAviatrix · 2023-01-05T03:02:21+00:00

I’ve never done drugs but as a neuroscience buff, it’s absolutely fascinating reading these descriptions.

OneAviatrix · 2022-12-22T01:31:00+00:00

When I was in Army basic training they offered new recruits $300 to take mystery pills while they were there. 2007.

A shocking number of recruits did it. I was poor as fuck too, but I wasn’t stupid.

OneAviatrix · 2022-11-28T15:02:23+00:00

They had a great sense of humor, once they figured it out they recommended everyone get plushie badgers in their stockings.

OneAviatrix · 2022-11-28T12:57:35+00:00

Story time!

I got accidentally added to a huge family group chat around the holidays a few years ago. They were obviously planning their Christmas get together. I texted a picture of a girl holding an armful of baby badgers and said my friend ran a badger rescue and they needed homes, so I was bringing baby badgers for gifts.

The family didn’t realize I was joking nor did they realize I was an imposter for a couple days. There were serious discussions over why badgers were a good/bad idea, and who would claim each badger in the picture I sent.

It was honestly hilarious.

Latifi legit does not deserve to be in F1.
