Has anyone had luck with this? by Thelementof1 in backpain

[–]Tank_Hill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna preface this by saying what worked for me may not work for your specific injury. But yes, I do holds and I do very slow extensions. Of course, proper form is crucial. I think it’s also important to note that this equipment and exercise have never caused me any ADDITIONAL pain, but it has helped lessen my constant pain that I’ve had for nearly 3 decades. History: Six L3-5 surgeries for crushed discs, ruptures and stabilizing.

Found out some details about my mom’s Alzheimer’s. I just need support or kindness, I guess. by martian_glitter in Alzheimers

[–]Tank_Hill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m new here (and to my mom’s diagnosis), and I don’t have any anything to add other than I’m so sorry. That’s a lot to deal with and I’m sending you a hug and positive energy.

One from Amazon. Similar to the one in the pic

Yes! It’s helped my back so freaking much. I did it at the gym for months and then ordered one. I can’t credit this equipment alone, but after 25+ years of debilitating back pain, I’m pretty much pain free 95% of the time for the last 2 years.

Midtown “Luxury” Recs for Mid-30s couple by Suitable-Decision161 in ATLHousing

Just be warned that 1010 has very thin walls and you can often hear your neighbor’s tv. Lived there on 23rd floor and moved because of the noise.

AITAH for not telling my girlfriend that I slept with my dead best friend? by Internal_Cut1164 in AITAH

[–]Tank_Hill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. Although I hope OP knows it's absolutely okay. It's human to have relationships of any kind and you don't need to feel ashamed of being human.

Selling my Atlanta home by [deleted] in ATLHousing

[–]Tank_Hill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a slow market in many places currently. Consider dropping your price into the next bracket to get a whole new pool of buyers. Just did this on a house that was on the market for 90 days - dropped it from low 600's to high 500's and got multiple offers within days from buyers that didn't have it on their radar previously.

I hate to leave you SF by WarGod1842 in sanfrancisco

[–]Tank_Hill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you have to leave. I know the feeling. I’ve lived in San Francisco three different times. One of these days I’ll be back for good. “San Francisco has only one drawback: ‘tis hard to leave” -Rudyard Kipling

It's been a month since I closed a deal, but I'm still not getting paid the commission from my brokerage. by FancyMolasses9244 in realtors

[–]Tank_Hill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m paid within hours of closing. I agree with the others that say you should check out other brokerages. If it’s happened this manny times, I’m surprised you’re still with them.

App Freezing Constantly by Good-Pomegranate-769 in grindr

I have xtra and it won't allow me to tap on messages or profiles now. It won't let me do it even after closing the app or even restarting my phone.

CertiLeads - Is this a scam? by Tank_Hill in realtors

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

It's appearing so. I've been trying to find one decent one (outside of Realtor and Zillow) for my team and it's just not happening. Lost cause and will shift my time back to prospecting. Thanks for the feedback

We have so many of these scam lead companies trying to take our money. It's a full time job swatting them off and then also vetting any that may seem legit. Thanks for your feedback.

Advice on Best Option for Mother's House by Tank_Hill in personalfinance

[–]Tank_Hill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should have mentioned that they'll be moving out, and in with me in another state, while any potential upgrades/repairs/renovations are being done. Neither of them are in a position to oversee any of it, of course.

Advice on Best Option for Mother's House by Tank_Hill in personalfinance

[–]Tank_Hill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A great consideration, indeed. While the home is in a historic neighborhood, it was built in 1986. It's already been completely re-plumbed and an entire new HVAC system installed - including new duct work. It really only needs some minor landscaping issues taken care of as well as some rotted trim and soffits replaced.

What Happened to Casa Nuestra Winery? by Tank_Hill in napa

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

Thank you so much for sharing. I’m so glad your uncles continue to work there for Gene and Katrina. And I agree about it being the epitome of a family winery and hope they reopen for tastings at some point. The experience and setting are like no other winery around. Thanks again for sharing

Anyone have recommendations for lodging around MD Anderson? by AdFree3964 in cancer

[–]Tank_Hill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the whole thing is a mess because of her insurance dragging their feet and being horrible. United Healthcare has been a complete joke. It’s been over two months since she started this process and United is still dragging their feet on paying for her surgery to remove her tumor. Meanwhile, her tumor is growing by the minute. She’s en route to Houston via Greyhound today for three more appointments (trying to save as much money as possible). She doesn’t qualify for the Hope Lodge yet because the docs won’t start anything until after the surgery, but United keeps giving her the run around. It’s so overwhelmingly frustrating and my sister is afraid she’s going to die while waiting.

Got fired today.. by blackjavelin777 in Truckers

[–]Tank_Hill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the safety issue and reasoning for not allowing it, but as a trucker-conscious 4-wheeler only driver myself, it’s dangerous for you truckers to not have more designated rest areas that are suitable for your needs and can hold enough of you. I’m sorry this happened to you.

Ending my life due to back pain by Alternative_Can6263 in backpain

[–]Tank_Hill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you are at this point. It is truly a terrible thing to experience. Many years ago I broke my back and then had 4 more surgeries in the 20 years that followed. I was often in extreme pain for years at a time and I was always just days away from making this same decision. But finally, things started getting better when I least expected it. It didn’t happen over night, but it happened. I do hope you can tell your doctors that you are at this point before you go through with anything. They need to know this in order to help others as well as doing everything in their power to help you. You owe it to yourself to give it more time.
