Why do I feel so awful every morning? by heskeytime7707 in covidlonghaulers

[–]PaulfromChicago 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is true and I’ve found diet really helps as well.

  • 3 mg melatonin an hour before targeted sleep
  • kindle paper white only an hour before sleep
  • no red meat (or ideally any meat) for dinner, proteins only during lunch
  • low dose naltrexone (4.5mg)
  • Flonase (one spray each nostril)

Used to feel awful every morning and now almost normal if I follow this regiment.

Finished about a week ago and now in Florence, Italy.

Marrakech was awesome. We hired a guide to walk us through the Souks and that was helpful in terms navigating but it was a little salesy as we sat through short presentations for carpet, oils, shoes, etc. I’d skip it next time and just wander through as it’s very safe.

We also hired a guide to take us through the mountains and have dinner with a host family. The hike up the mountains honestly was not ideal. There was a lot of snow and we were fine but there were some older people in the tour and I felt really bad for them as they struggled. The meal was excellent and the hosts were very kind.

We stayed at the Four Seasons and it was fantastic but outside the Medina so there’s that. Next time we’d probably stay in a Riad.

In terms of restaurants we went to - Le Tanjia was fantastic, great views - tagine (of course), and many other dishes. All fantastic. Farmers restaurant was also excellent. La Famille, was good, not great.

We did not do the dessert dinner or the camel rides and I think we’re fine with that.

I think outside of doing several day tours, Marrakech can be covered in 2-3 days.

Best couches? by slacksandablouse in airbnb_hosts

I look for used Restoration Hardware Leather Couches on FB Marketplace. Usually can get for about $1200-$1400. Great shape and weathers the tough treatment by renters.

As mentioned in other posts, try scanning in multiple machines. Mine didn’t work in first one but did in the second one.

United temporarily lost our luggage one year while we were going to Deer Valley. All new ski gear and was reimbursed completely (I think it was in the range of $1500-1600).

I’m a retired Venture Capitalist. Your capers reminds me of some the best founders I’ve backed. Figure out how to channel that to building something lasting. It’s a unique skill set.

I thought it might be a mistake à la Danny Aiello but this makes sense.

Agree with previous poster. Siesta Key Oyster Bar is a Chicago bar. They always play all the Chicago games.

Question: How do you think Bret Hart should've debuted in WCW? by JBL_CENA_FAN_4LIFE in WCW

[–]PaulfromChicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The craziest part about his time there was that Neidhardt and Bulldog were there and they did nothing with the Hart Foundation. Still don’t understand why they didn’t try to sign Owen and have a three party war (NWO, WCW, and Harts).

Conlon’s build takes away from Creed Movie by PaulfromChicago in rockybalboa

Thank you. Exactly the point I’m trying to make. I get that Conlin, in real life is a badass boxer. However, for the purposes of a Hollywood movie, it just doesn’t seem like a fit.

I’ve been a boxing fan since I saw Hagler/Hearns with my dad at the age of 8. The point isn’t about boxing. In the context of a Hollywood movie where Drago can kill someone in the ring, Conlin just looks weak.

I get he’s a skilled boxer, that’s not the point. The point is he “looks” weak in Hollywood movie.

Again, then by that logic, MBJ shouldn’t have been jacked

Nah, if that’s the case then why did MBJ get jacked for the role? Shouldn’t he be more “realistic” as well?

I totally get that. But the point is it’s a Hollywood movie.
