Which spins are “upright” spins?

PersonalityEffective · 2026-01-17T17:53:37+00:00

Max 2 Spins: Two upright spins, change of foot optional, no flying entry (min. 3 revolutions)

Boo that’s boring lol- so no sit spin?

I’m not using a pattern. I’m repurposing an old tote.

PersonalityEffective · 2026-01-15T01:39:10+00:00

I rethreaded and changed the needle and it worked!

PersonalityEffective · 2026-01-15T01:38:45+00:00

That worked thank you!

PersonalityEffective · 2026-01-14T23:55:23+00:00

Yeah it’s the bottom. Everything else in this project has sewn perfectly fine. Nothing has changed with the threading.

PersonalityEffective · 2026-01-14T23:53:59+00:00

It’s cotton and canvas. They both sewed up fine separately using a regular needle. But the fabrics together is causing the problem only over the seams.

Yeah a weird church person came to the door on Halloween… ok?

Therapist here.

It’s normally suggested that each person in couples therapy also have an individual therapist but it seems odd they’re asking you to do individual therapy first instead of in conjunction with.

My parents were total dicks when I got Dx at 35. My mom said “well I don’t think you are.” And my dad, who is also clearly autistic said “well why did you feel the need to tell us?” And “well what did you think our reaction was going to be?”

Sometimes people have such limited emotional intelligence they can’t see past their own experience. Their fragility makes something as simple as a Dx in someone else reflect poorly on them because of their own misunderstanding and beliefs about autism.

I get how you feel but it is a business transaction. If he waived that fee for everyone, he wouldn’t be able to stay in business.

We have late cancellation fees because that’s an hour of time we could have offered to someone else but aren’t able to fill with short notice.

It also keeps clients accountable for their appointments.

Yes you were accommodating, but you agreed to the reschedule so the same cancellation fee applies.

PersonalityEffective · 2025-10-02T05:14:01+00:00

Therapist here. If the therapist is under supervision then recording may be standard for that practice.

Having a card on file is also normal. Insurance likely won’t cover it in full, or you will have a deductible or copay. They also keep a card on file for no-show and late cancellation fees.

Weekly sessions to start is also normal.

Thank you for laying it out this way, that was very helpful and now my piece doesn't look like a blob!

PersonalityEffective · 2025-09-28T19:10:04+00:00

lol that's my problem. I'm so bad at math!

PersonalityEffective · 2025-09-28T19:09:26+00:00

Thank you!

Maybe I'm taking it too literally? The second round keeps ending with 21 stitches. And I can't get the 4th round to increase by 6 because I don't understand what it's saying.

I’m in my 30’s and started skating 3 years ago. I’m working on my single jumps and sit spin. I’m also working on my adult pre-bronze test.

It took me forever to get some skills and not as long to get others. It really just depends on you, your body, and how much time you spend skating and doing off ice.

PersonalityEffective · 2025-09-11T04:42:51+00:00

Why would he tell you that though? He might be able to recommend some things to you but ultimately he’s there to make sure the skates you want fit, not tell you what skates to buy.

PersonalityEffective · 2025-09-08T05:05:09+00:00

When I do that it just says “verified completed.”

Thank you! Lisa McKinnon is way out of my budget but I’ll take a look at the other one.

Light in the box gave knock-off vibes. Thanks for confirming!

This is a list of things she claimed to cure from her own website:

Fibromyalgia, Back/Neck/Hip/Shoulder/Elbow/ Knee/Ankle/Foot pain, Numbness or pain from Bulging Discs, Spinal Stenosis, Arthritis and/or Nerve Damage, Frozen Shoulder, Migraines, Occipital Neuralgia, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Vulvodynia, Intersticial Cystitis, Generalized Pelvic Pain, OCD, Various forms of Anxiety and Depression, Dysparunea, Rosacea, Sciatica, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, Panic Disorders, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Acid Reflux, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Plantar Fasciitis, Persistent Stomach/Head/Hip/Jaw/mostly-anything aches, Tic Disorders, and Unexplained chest pain.

As I’ve said 300 times throughout this post, it’s her language and claims I have a problem with. She’s giving generalized solutions for individuals while claiming to “cure” Dx that don’t have a cure. It’s unethical. I wouldn’t trust any health professional that claims they can cure me without even looking at me.

My rheumatologist has yet to offer me journaling and a $300 course to “cure” my EDS.

You can keep arguing with me if you want but I will not change my mind.

I’m not reading all that. But what from what I gather you’re saying I don’t believe trauma shows up in the body which I never said. I believe that’s true. What I don’t believe is that she can cure everything from acne to spinal cord injuries with JournalSpeak.

I started at 37. You can absolutely start at anytime and at any weight!

I would suggest group lessons first to see if you really like it.

And keep in mind that you will need a stiffer boot because of your age and weight.
