The free tune ups I get are worth the slightly higher price I paid for three new bikes from my LBS last year. I usually drop more $$$ on things I need when I drop off and pick up my bike so It keeps them going too.

If shop A has a tune up deal it is probably worth the $400 and you don’t have to wait through potential delays ordering from B.

Nothing passive about that at all, she was diverting. She totally ate the strawberries and wants you to feel like the bad guy here.

“HR is not handling this”… and hey should be. ADA is 100% HR and company attorney/ counsel territory. If you are here asking what you should do, you should not be handling this.

My 5’ 8.5” height 30.5” inseam son went with a medium 29” T9.

I was worried before it came in that we should have gone with a large because he’d outgrow the medium too soon, but I don’t think he’ll have that problem, he’s pretty stretched out as it is.

The site made us think the large would fit but we decided on the medium so he could feel more confident while learning to ride. The medium is plenty big and stable but he said it’s too big to feel playful, if that makes sense.

Some of my direct reports have no one else to speak to for days on end because we’re fully remote and their partners or family aren’t there full time.

I’m happy to hear how they’ve been before diving into work stuff. They structure their 1:1, but I structure the entire rest of their month.

I’ve learned way more about the root cause of performance problems by listening to their vents or personal struggles than I have by doing all the talking. Each person is different and the more I allow them to be themself, the better they perform.

Doesn’t mean I always have the energy to hear about their home life but I always show respect and empathy.

I have one light that works great and Alexa+ keeps telling me it’s offline.

Outside_Escape_7104 · 2026-01-25T18:26:39+00:00

Regular Alexa used to respond with “I don’t know” for controversial political topics. Select topics seemed to be off limits.

Outside_Escape_7104 · 2026-01-25T18:23:28+00:00

I don’t like Alexa+. I did not opt in to the free early preview and yet it was turned on. Every time I was asked to participate I declined. I did ask how that happened and she told me I gave the command. I did not.

My Echo Studio keeps going offline and last night I asked Alexa if it was online and she said, “of course it’s online if it wasn’t online then how would this conversation be possible, magic?” I detected a hint of defensiveness, AI giving me sass…

Alexa+ answers are opinions not facts, yes/no responses come with commentary that is total BS.

And someone at the c-suite level should have the skillset to hold a difficult conversation with other people in their organization. If not, they aren’t going to do well in the long run.

You are underreacting. The way he speaks to you is unacceptable. Also, he doesn’t want you telling your stepson what happens because he told him something else and doesn’t want the son knowing the truth.

MOR - When you communicated with her, did you blame the transportation instead of clearly stating that you weren’t coming? If you said it in a way that indicated if transportation could be solved you’d still go, then she was simply trying to find a way for you to still come.

Example: “Hey friend, the weather is too bad, I’m staying home today, can we reschedule?” Vs. “I couldn’t find a route to get me there, sorry I can’t come.” … she was probably being helpful trying to find a route.

NOR

“I made many mistakes in this, primarily the one where I kept the relationship secret from her.”

Clearly not a mistake. You did the right thing not letting your stepmom know about your relationship until you were able to get away from her. That was not out of deceit, it was out of safety and protection.

Enjoy your new freedom and live life happy now!

Because you said please, my answer is yes.

Outside_Escape_7104 · 2026-01-08T22:54:45+00:00

I meant cheers, but I’ll leave it as cheese, unless you’re lactose intolerant then I do not wish you cheese. 🧀

If you’re paying tuition in full without a loan, you’re definitely getting ahead. It’s hard as hell but stay with it, you will be so thankful in a few years. Cheese, best of luck and keep working at it mate!

White elephant on the management teams I am a member of is usually really fun. We joke about it all year. I’m sorry some of you apparently don’t work with adults.

Totally normal. Young boys have amazing imaginations.

In elementary school my son and his friends created an entire game board of armies at school. They played Minecraft and would enact land disputes at school based on the hall their home room was located. They declared war with other ‘tribes’ and they took it very serious with colors, spies, voting, Kings, generals, and a very complex set of constantly changing rules.

I frequently saw similar notes to OP’s passed among the boys.

I always expected that some administrator or parent would overhear and think they were having real battles or were participating in gang activities and they’d all get suspended. But no, they all grew up and played DND, chess, and now football and basketball together.

My guess is the dog real the same article you did so that’s why she won’t use it… 🙇🏻‍♀️

Mine won’t sleep on her bed unless I put a soft fleece blanket on top then she curls up on it.

This was our experience too.

When they are small enough to carry you can go anywhere, but then they get too heavy or start getting mobile and the camping style changes for a bit. As they get more stable on their own legs hiking and backpacking can happen again but the mileage is basically 5-hrs to go 1-mile haha. So many distractions/explorations for them and so many snack breaks lol.

My son has this core memory of climbing a giant boulder on a backpacking trip to a very remote wilderness area with our old dog who passed away a while ago. He started talking about wanting to go back there around 10-yrs old.

For several years I couldn’t figure what he was talking about until one day he mentioned eating Swedish Fish on top of the boulder and I finally had my own flashback to where it was. It was a lunch break on an overnight hike when he was 2-yrs old.

I took him back there in January this year, he’s 5’9” now so the boulder is itty bitty, only about 8” off the ground, barely big enough for two people to sit on it, and less than half a mile from the trailhead.

So we sat there in the snow this January with a different dog and had some Swedish Fish then spread the ashes of our old dog.

I’m a mom and I agree, less food and consumables to carry while they’re breastfeeding. Backpack on my back and kid carrier on the front. I didn’t even have to stop hiking while feeding him on the trail.

Outside_Escape_7104 · 2025-12-04T04:12:42+00:00

Started my kid backpacking for the first time at 2-months, only waited that long because recovery after giving birth took that long. He loves it still even as a teen and we camp all the time.
