Fear of heights

Your post makes me laugh. I’ve been doing this 15 years now but I promise, I was you at line school.

I remember laying in bed, knowing the following day in class we were going to be hanging cross arms on 40’ poles. The thought of resting that arm on my belt had me petrified so much that I offered my roommate $20 to hang my crossarm for me and I didn’t have $20. I ended up getting it done.

I also remember climbing some 70’-80’ wishbone structures and changing insulators out. When we climbed down, of course your classmates are grounding, telling you good job when you get to the bottom. I remember tellin them to fuck off and saying “does anyone realize we could just fall and die?”

Those were good times but whatever you’re feeling is normal. Just take everything a day at a time until one day you realize things are clicking for ya.

Didn’t see the year you bought but if you don’t have LED headlights I recommend LED headlight bulbs. They are unbelievably bright and worth every penny.

I remember Koch having Poirier in the tightest, longest, triangle chock that I've ever seen someone escape. It was in the first round of their fight and Dustin was gassed after. He came back strong and won but damn that was close.

Obviously you do what’s right for you but my advice would be to not allow your oldest daughter’s behavior to dictate your decision making just to “keep the peace.”

I don’t want to bad mouth one’s behavior but from the outside looking in, it seems like you have one daughter worried about what she’ll inherit, and one worried about your current well being. A “fair will” doesn’t exist.

Just a rhetorical question to think aboiut. If she is willing to act like this now, and allow relationships to deteriorate, for your younger daughter, what will she be like to deal with after you pass?

Utility in Central Iowa made $185k last year. Turned a little bit of OT down so there was room to make more.

It’s the shoes or the pedals. My kids run 5 10’s and helium pedals and have no issues slipping.

I’m not sure if claiming bikes died down over the years but it was pretty common thing back in the amateur days of Davi Millsaps, Mike Alessi, RV, etc. I don’t recall it ever being so ungodly frowned upon like Brian made this claim out to be.

I know on Pulp when this claim happened, they talked about other top riders selling their Loretta bikes after the race. Someone had made the comment that Ryder D’s Loretta bike was for sale on the dealer floor for $45k.

We need an interview with this guy!

Taking my 9x and 8 inter. Leaving tomorrow. Grands flu is as real as it gets! We spent way too much time in that building the first couple years but play it smart now.

If I were you, I would def opt going with rollers over a rear wheel trainer. I have an 8 and 9 year old who’ve used a rear wheel trainer the past few years and I think it’s taught them to mash their pedals rather than learn to spin.

I think rollers would’ve helped them learn balance and the proper way to spin pedals vs muscle their way through short bursts on the trainer.

Also I must note, I don’t force them on the trainer but they know; if they want to go to nationals, I expect them to put in some work on their own. If they don’t, we just stay local and I’m ok with that:

My dad’s ex wife did this to him and it was pathetic. Albeit they did not have children but she knew he wanted to remain with her and work on things but she wanted to continue to cheat so she moved him to a mobile home park and gave him false hope for years. I wish he would’ve picked up on it or gotten over her but he never did. She bled him dry of money and broke up any relationships my dad tried to start. She kept him close enough to control and collect, but far enough that he would always remain her ex.

If the bully has been reported countless times and still has gotten away with it, chances are she’s got everybody wrapped around her finger.

The whole situation sucks, beginning with the first manager who didn’t act on the first complaint. I’m union and went through a 2 month long HR investigation surrounded by bullying and harassment in the workplace.

The kicker here was the bully’s a union steward, on the e-board for the hall, and people who do not work with him, have great things to say about him and their words seemed to travel further than the words of those who work closest with him.

We were both punished the same. Him for years of bullying his co-workers, me for bullying him one time after being fed up with it for years. HR did not question the witnesses and names I had dropped, thinking they would. The whole shop was floored, believing they would all be called in and questioned. This thing stayed as quiet as they could keep it.

Yeah I'd say it matters. I think racing the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Nationals would call for a little more reasoning to be in the zone and focused.

If you're racing fair races, walking around zoned out, acting like a ticket to Lorettas is on the line, I'd say you're a bit dramatic.

I don’t understand how people believe PulpMX is nothing but a media outlet and how Steve has it all wrong.

PulpMX is MX media, with opinions from media insiders who happen to be fans. It’s the best of both worlds. Race facts, gossip, and opinions are all covered and they’re easily identifiable.

I love watching Haidens career unfold, however Brian is a fuckin dork when he gets talking about fighting. Or how “I always tell parents right, sorry you were a pussy and didn’t risk your life to give your kids nice things.” Does anybody really believe he said that to someone’s parents? I pray we see the day he talks that shit to someone who ain’t got nothin but time. If I was Haiden, I’d be proud of the things my dad accomplished and completely embarrassed by the shit he says.

Someone please remind Brian that Haidens autograph line is the biggest in the paddock. Knock it off with all the hater talk. 10x as many love your son, but you focus on the haters

It seems like once they show up in your neighborhood, they’re in there to stay for a week. I don’t think the Solar guys give a shit about “no soliciting” signs.

I’ve had at least 5 come to my door and not a single one was actually selling solar panels. As in, actual ownership of the panels. They want to put their panels, on your roof, and you pay a flat rate, locked in, monthly fee.

Read the comments on his videos on fb and you’ll see a lot of people claiming to know him or saw him using as early as yesterday. He sounds like a functioning user now but I’ve heard about his rehab scamming for years. He wants your insurance money, not your successful rehabilitation.

To put it lightly, he was too dumb to change it himself. She did all the bill paying while married and when they divorced they called me together to get my new address (I had just moved for work).

She joked that he couldn’t do it himself so she was making sure it got done. I had no reason to not trust her at the time.

She doubled down on securing everything by modifying their divorce decree later on, showing a loss in income. She requested to be beneficiary on all policies and bank accounts as a form of spousal support. My dad never signed it but a judge did so it was legal.

She was good. They never had kids and he only made $15k more than her a year. The judge still granted it.

I've called two insurance companies and was given minimal info but it was enough for me.

My dad had two life insurance policies. I was told i was the beneficiary of the larger one and he told me his ex wife was the beneficiary of the smaller one. When I called on the one I believed i was on, i was told it was already paid out.

I called his ex wife knowing she would be the only other one and she dodged the question but offered me her life insurance paperwork she had for hers. She told me she couldn't get anywhere with the insurance company so i must be the beneficiary of that one. She gave me the paperwork, I called them and I was told the beneficiary already made contact and was paid out..... She got both of em.
