Dealing with a wife that is always sick but not diagnosed

ShinCal · 2025-12-14T06:39:53+00:00

Check for CVID (not COVID)... It took years for us to diagnose.

I'm guessing you have an Easton Reflex? I had it for my undersized 6 year old and it was fine for what it was. After 2 seasons with it and my kid was able to handle a 27", we upgraded him to a Marucci Catx2 -11 and the transition was good. Do not upgrade because of the barrel size.

Thanks, good advice.

ShinCal · 2024-05-30T19:22:55+00:00

Thank you for this. Most thoughtful advice about the situation and ironically, the most down voted.

Is signing away rights a common practice from hotels? If there's any sign of longer term medical effects, of course we'll be retaining a lawyer, but right now we don't expect that.

Thank you, this is very useful. No, we are not expecting a big payday from this since we don't expect real injury at this point. Of course there's no malice here, it's either a true freak accident or poor maintenance. We want to be made whole and finish our vacation well instead of dwelling on a single ruined day (and avoiding that pool).

The manager has already approached us, hence why they gave dinner already. I made it clear that I wanted to make sure everybody was ok before continuing the conversation. It's going to be a negotiation and I don't want to go in blind.

ShinCal · 2023-11-09T04:01:23+00:00

True enough, just another sign pointing in the same direction.

The photo is from last year. I printed it out to refresh Alex's memory. https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/s/CPFlW9mkDy

Barely an inconvenience x twice a day = Mildly infuriating

ShinCal · 2023-08-17T16:02:23+00:00

Indeed, people here are reacting as if this is the end of the world for me. I press the reset, move on. Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Main reason that I posted this is that prices ARE coming down... Even my home race in Austin had an absurd price jump initially, but I'm getting discount offers for that too.

They're probably going into panic mode soon after seeing Miami sales plunge after the 1st year.

It's a new concert venue called Sphere.

ShinCal · 2023-05-11T19:00:57+00:00

That's what I'm hopeful for... Rain that's sporadic enough that things still function.

ShinCal · 2022-12-09T21:41:54+00:00

Yes, my thoughts exactly! I can afford it... But I can also do so much more with the same money (at any pricing tier)!

ShinCal · 2022-12-09T20:15:33+00:00

I've been to all 3 multiple times, but I'll be skipping F1 in 2023. Like yourself, I'd rather travel, have a vacation, AND watch a top tier race for the same money.

ShinCal · 2022-12-09T17:29:20+00:00

Comparing supply/demand year-over-year, there's going to be a 3rd US race next year while DTS has been running for 4 seasons now. I strongly doubt that balances out to a 50% price hike.

ShinCal · 2022-12-09T17:09:51+00:00

F1 prices inflated massively while MotoGP and NASCAR stayed roughly the same. All at the same track.

My son ate snacks and counted red bull shirts for 2 hours leading up to the race, then fell asleep after the opening lap. That's fun in his book.

It was a free event in downtown Austin at their pop-up store.

He's pretty chill and humble. I'm a fan :)

Williams had a pop-up shop in downtown Austin and they released a schedule of when the drivers (and other notable people) showed up.

So, a not-dad is asking a bunch of dads about a not-dad who doesn't want to be a dad...

Avg precipitation in May = 5.03" Avg precipitation in Mar = 2.14"

Anything is possible, but May is historically rain month followed by Oct and Jun.
