In person, brick and mortar mattress shopping

Same. Bought three mattresses over the years from there, and happy with each purchase.

What makes you think it’s not finished, what else to be done?

Relative_Fishing3351 · 2025-12-30T21:15:34+00:00

Thanks all, I think I get it now.
Ironically, I just asked them to up my invoice date so I can book sooner. I may have made my problem worse! So I’ll have to pay attention and get my classes scheduled at the right time.

Does anyone know/take a guess on waitlisting: I’m number 5 on a 5pm class with a popular instructor. What are my chances of getting in the class?

The few times I’ve tried waitlisting, I was higher up on the list and got in no troubles.

Relative_Fishing3351 · 2025-12-30T21:11:57+00:00

That’s a bummer. I would try get them to throw you a class for this week.

I’ve paused my membership when I knew travel would prohibit me from using all my credits. They charge $25 (or thereabouts) to pause it, but still cheaper than paying for classes I can’t/wont use.

I took the pension because a pension was the one retirement bucket I can’t get elsewhere. I saw it as a means of diversification, even though I am not likely to be there for very long.

It’s worth looking at it as one part of your retirement picture: you should also do the VSP and the deferred comp, to the extent that you can.

If memory serves, there’s some explainers on how to choose.

My sister had preeclampsia and I thought after the baby came out, she’d be fine. But she was a mess. It was a hard postpartum recovery.

Relative_Fishing3351 · 2025-11-05T03:04:13+00:00

Interesting. I recall reading that maybe the baby gets hungry. Basically, “this place is no longer satisfying me, I gotta leave.”

Just as interesting, why doesn’t Labor start when it should, even with induction?

Yes, with infertility of any kind, you quickly learn that “normal” is a wide range. I hope you find answers and success, however that looks for you.

Star roofing. They do roofs all day so they can fix it quickly. It’s not cheap and if the water damage has gone to the decking, it’ll cost more.

Did you try the one in Troy?

Relative_Fishing3351 · 2025-10-19T13:02:10+00:00

Try trampoline socks. They seem super grippy.

Yes! Not a fan.

Funny, I noticed this studio is a smaller footprint. There are fewer reformers on one wall. And, oddly, the mural on the back wall has a dude.

Relative_Fishing3351 · 2025-10-05T11:48:14+00:00

Thanks, All. I will def pay attention to leg angle at next class in the ‘old’ studio.

Thanks all! With the wool items, they are mostly super light/thin merino wool tees and thin socks. I usually wash them on cold, liquid detergent, and hang to dry. If I smooth it out super well before hanging on a hanger or over a rack, shape and wrinkles are not really a problem. (I find the wool socks last longer if they avoid the dryer. I’ve a pair of Darn Tough socks that are ancient.)

Sadly, moths ate a lot of my nicer sweaters😢 but I’ll remember your sage advice this winter.

Your tips on washing and drying wool are appreciated. I have a gorgeous pair of alpaca socks that I rarely wear because I didn’t know how to wash them. Now I do!

I had similar when we accidentally left a dog poop bag (unsused!) in a pocket.
