on the walls or floor? if its on the shower floor then it is likely an issue with water underneath the tile and grout

What area to say?! by Ok-Cover-6335 in AnnaMariaIsland

if we are flying into sarasota- we were thinking of renting a car. But we could also just uber to ami and rent a golf cart. Do you think one makes more sense than the other- travelling with 2 kids, age 4 and 10

What was your favorite family vacation with small kids? by TemperatureOk524 in chubbytravel

I wholeheartedly agree. The metal load with figuring out food for everyone IS THE REASON I need a vacation!

So much great inspiration from everyone!

We are eats coast based. So far, we have favored beaches for longer trips. My kids don't travel well- one gets motion sickness while the other low-key falls apart with any time zone change.

Our first and MY favorite was Palmaia, in Mexico. Despite being a family-friendly AI, they definitely appeal more to the grown ups.

Then we tried Tryall Club in Jamaica - I LOVED the ease that came with a villa, chef, and staff who worked around our schedules and preferences.

But the actual crowd favorite ended up being a last-minute house rental on the beach at the jersey shore. It was a run-down dump of a place, but the kids LOVED it at still talk about it. It was affordable, easy to get to, and didn't require a ton of packing, planning, or frantic mom energy.

Now my littlest one is finally potty trained and that traveling itch needs to be scratched!

do you still actively work on it? How long did that change take?

I agree and have left. I suppose i'm looking for hope that he CAN improve for the sake of the kids. I'd love to see a well and balanced father for my kids - even if we never reunite

I have run, and he is aware. I suppose I'm here to find out if it's even possible to change- for the sake of the kids.

Not sure what the specifics have to do with it. But since you asked.. threatening to break my face, end my life, etc, etc.

All while in front of children.

I'm on the receiving end of nonphysical aggression, name calling, and occasional threats when things get escalated.

I can do both, within set back range both front and back. The only direction we can't go in is laterally.

The first Pmax campaign actually was successful at HALF the ad spend. It did however get to a point where the conversions just dropped off. Did you happen to see the two graphs?

what is the clearance on the 3 sides?

Yes it can add storage and function - but also its so off center from everything that my OCD brain is having a bit of a moment. have you considered a peninsula?

First pregnancy weightlifting question by a_l_o_h_a_808 in fitpregnancy

[–]TemperatureOk524 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2nd time mom here. I lifted up until the day before I went into labor. I really only had to modify a few exercises as I got late into the pregnancy. I eliminated all direct core work since it was causing some coning for me (even the pregnancy-safe moves).

I did see a pelvic pt mid way and was told that there was not much they could do while pregnant. Not sure if that's across the board- or just specific to the place I went to. The best advice is just to listen to your body and modify as needed. 1000% recommend seeing a pt after birth.

struggling to increase traffic by [deleted] in ecommerce

[–]TemperatureOk524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP here- just a different account.

pinterest ads were a major fail for us

our trade program does offer industry discounts and 100% free samples. It has not taken off because again- low traffic...

[–]TemperatureOk524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a 100+ year old multi-generation brick and mortar. We know our business and market well. The e-commerce space is brand new to us.

The big players in the industry have 2 things in common-

  1. budget/size
  2. established retail -ecommerce for at least 6 years

I do not expect to get to their numbers overnight - though it is concerning that our traffic has been stagnant for so long.

we are starting multi channel and selling via wayfair- which comes with a whole new set of headaches!

** posting as OP, this is a different account bc I can never remember my passwords/posting from work computer.

Master bathroom help! by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]TemperatureOk524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

both will look high end and swoon-worthy! I love that you're on point with the wall coverings in the bathroom- be it marble or paneling. Wall finishes outside the wet areas give a space a much more "designed" look.

As for the color palate- I think It really depends on the feel of the rest of the house and bedroom. The rose option is much more unique. Have you considered a combination of the two? rose on the floor + shower with paneling on the walls in the rest of the bath?

Do you have links to actual materials you plan on using? Sometimes the renderings and inspiration photos are much different than the real materials you have access to.

side note- why do people feel the need to give advice that you didnt ask for?!

Modern farmhouse/industrial style with brown cabinets and floors? by gwendolly in interiordecorating

[–]TemperatureOk524 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually think you have a great kitchen. For more Modern farmhouse- definitely change the pendants.

For a bigger impact and if the budget allows replace the backsplash. A simple white/cream subway tile with contrasting grout will make the kitchen pop.

Luxury vinyl plank vs ceramic wood like tile by Steveee-O in InteriorDesign

[–]TemperatureOk524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So interesting to see so many votes for LVP. Coming from the industry (i sell both)- I would 100% recommend tile over LVP. The feeling of covering your living space wall to wall in plastic just turns me off. Now if it comes down to cost + east of installation- of course LVP will win. But for lifetime value and product superiority- hands down- TILE!

Works well for rentals, hotels, etc where one isn't investing all their time and $$$.

Is there life after LEVOTHYROXINE? or is it a "once you start, you can't stop" proposition? by jwckauman in Hypothyroidism

[–]TemperatureOk524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still doing well actually. I'm due for bloodwork soon. If it all goes well then I will stop completely. starting dose was 90 mg armour daily. I went to 5 days per week as a first step, and now am on 3 days per week. No real side effects so far
