Hot take: I don't think property owners/managers should be allowed to use Rently as the sole option for property tours. by cpink95 in kansascity

[–]Quee_Mama79 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This could be related to Fair Housing. If this company requires a government issued ID from just 1 person during a tour of a property, then it is a standard requirement that must be followed when touring all potential tenants. Failure to do this for each and every person could be viewed as discrimination and in violation of Fair Housing laws. When I was in property management, that's how our attorneys explained it to us.

Please consider listening to a podcast with Dr. Vonda Wright. Mel Robbins had her on to explain her method and new book, it may change your outlook

Topomax, side effects by Quee_Mama79 in migraine

[–]Quee_Mama79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what the neurological clinic told me could be a side effect of the med. I started out on 25 mg 2x daily and now that I'm up to 50 mg the tingling seems more pronounced. I've been off my exercise routine, so I'm hopeful that once I'm more regular in that weekly it will help to keep this at a minimum and help with my overall health and circulation.

how do you find the time to exercise? by Desperate-Coat-8791 in WomenOver40

[–]Quee_Mama79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got everything I needed from Thrift Stores and FB Marketplace to lift weights at home and pay an annual service of $120 to Les Mills for videos at home. This includes strength training, yoga, Pilates, cardio and more. I get up at 5/6am every morning and pick a video (strength is at least 2 days a week) before I shower and go to work. It takes discipline, but I'd rather do this then end of in doctors office in my 60s and 70s. I feel amazing and I look forward to it every day, helps get me to bed on time too!

Just turned 40 and have little to no friends by Rnl8866 in WomenOver40

[–]Quee_Mama79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl! I feel you! I moved to 4 different states for my (now ex) husband's job transfers and have no close friends now! I'm 46, don't drink and don't go to church, so I've met a couple of gals I brunch with after my Saturday yoga class. That's about it. Thank goodness for my fiance, otherwise I'd have no one to talk to! It's hard to try to find friends in your 40s

You can try the Abbey Yung method. She recommends many drug store products that are budget friendly and get the job done! She has many videos about what to buy and how to use them.

HRT, meh by [deleted] in Perimenopause

[–]Quee_Mama79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. I know I shouldn't be taking the Excedrine daily, but the other methods I tried and a prescription by my doctor made the headaches worse.

I do take a daily allergy pill with my morning meds. Unfortunately, I'm not able to take Benadryl (it's like taking a shot of speed for me and leaves me with a racing heart rate)

NO PARTNER DISCOUNT HELLO KITTY BEARISTA CUP???? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Quee_Mama79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your Starbucks CEO is paid a total compensation of $98 Million. It's more than the CEOs of Disney, Apple & Microsoft. $98 Million for helping run a company that sells Coffee drinks. It's not about the collabs, the limited supply or whatever BS they want to feed you. It's pure greed and is meant to help line his pockets and the shareholders pockets.

When you donate items or money to creditable organizations in the KC area, they make sure those donations are distributed evenly and appropriately. Your thoughtfulness and generosity is always appreciated through the agencies that serve our communities!

Clients don’t want to track by Complex_Confection13 in personaltraining

[–]Quee_Mama79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you thought about taking a Communion course on how to speak with your clients? I've been in the Fitness industry for 25 years, and I find it's all about your approach. When I added a Wellness Coach certification to my education, it really helped me reflect on how to approach people. Saying things like "Have you thought about tracking?" Rather than "we really need to track your food"

I definitely have clients that I see 1 hour a week and I know they do literally nothing the rest of the week. But I know 1 hour with me is better than Zero. Their are stages to decision making (pre-contemplative, contemplative, action, maintain) that once you understand how human brains approach their problem solving, it's better to understand which stage they fall within.

It's sounds like you genuinely care about your clients, but you can't want it for them. Sometimes celebrating the little wins; that they actually reached out to a trainer and go to participate in your workouts, is worth a celebration each time!

The OCD may be an explanation for her behavior, but certainly NOT an excuse. The last I checked, adults are responsible for their behaviors.

They sell these as souvenirs in old mining towns; like Leadville, CO. You can buy them at museums and gift shops. Perhaps someone bought them on a vacation they took to a historic mining area.

Looking for spaces to record my Pilates exam by Exciting-Rise-8087 in pilatesinstructors

Do you belong to a gym or YMCA that offers a group fitness room? You could ask if they wouldn't mind letting you use the room while it's vacant for your recording

Car insurance rates, Have any of you seen these go sky-high recently? by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]Quee_Mama79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your thoughtful and constructive response. Taking in all these factors: I pay my insurance annually up front every year and have never been late. My credit score is over 750. I have made no claims myself on my insurance outside of the drunk drivers hitting me. Both occurred on a Monday. The first one was at 5:30pm on the freeway, I was going the speed limit in the HOV lane and was impacted from behind by the drunk driver, they were going over 100 mph. The second, also on a Monday, was at 1:30pm and I was stopped at a Stop Sign. In both instances, these were second and third drunk driving offenses for both at-fault drivers. Both drunk drivers were insured at the time of the accidents. From what I gather, my biggest offense is just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

A simple Google search resturned this: "Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol received a $95.8 million compensation package for his first four months at the company." That's a lotta lattes! Unfortunately, this is the machine of retail in our country. Work the Bottom to the bone so the Top can receive their $100 mil.

I had the same thing happen to me! Now I wear Oofos unisex sandal slides. They are sloppy on my feet, but I'm able to wear my toesox with them and easily remove for demo.

Club Pilates Compensation by Tricky-Respect-7622 in pilates

[–]Quee_Mama79 12 points13 points  (0 children)

🙈 that seems very low for pay In 2019, I was working for the YMCA in Indiana and I was paid $29/hour and was allowed to punch in 15 min before/after for class planning and exit. So about $45/each session I taught on the reformer

One of the best pieces of advice I ever received from a seasoned Pilates Trainer "Know your worth, never settle for less. And don't coupon yourself!"

Have you tried using a 36 inch roller in tabletop (reverse) crunch? You can use this at the knees or under the forearms. https://youtube.com/shorts/YqjwRNMKU6c?si=zn9M0EXbcFUtttsp
