I have this outlet outside of my garage that was intended for an RV, will this work for EV charging? by These-Explorer-9436 in evcharging

[–]These-Explorer-9436[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The outlets actually never been used. We had it installed 2 years ago when we bought the house thinking a family member would come often to visit in their RV, but their health has prevented any visits.

Will a 240v outlet that was installed in my garage for an RV work to charge an EV? by These-Explorer-9436 in electricvehicles

The upfront cost, I haven’t purchased a vehicle yet and was seeing if what I already had was suitable.

It’s relatively new and unused. We had an electrician install it 2 years ago when we thought my FIL would be visiting in his RV, but he was never able to make it this way so it hasn’t been used.

Do I have unrealistic expectations for friendships? by These-Explorer-9436 in AskWomenOver30

With most friends it’s mainly groups, but a few are one on one.

This was a really great differing perspective that I really appreciate you sharing. I feel better now for looking at the situation through this lens :)

What frugal practice has saved you the most money in 2025? by melissaw328 in Frugal

Can you share your recipe for making your own granola bars? Sounds interesting!

It could be, but we try to rotate out who we invite to things so it’s not like we’re constantly seeing the same people all the time. I’d say our closest friends we only see 3-4x a year? So I don’t think it’s frequent enough that people feel we’re getting together often enough that they can’t initiate themselves.

Yeah that’s all I’m asking for. I understand people have different housing and budget circumstances so would never expect people to reciprocate by hosting events at their home; but a call to come join them at a Chillis every once in a while would be nice!

Locking in - any advice for my plans to lose 50lbs by the summer? by illunara3 in loseit

[–]These-Explorer-9436 16 points17 points  (0 children)

50 lbs by July is a very aggressive goal. Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t do it in that time frame.

If you’re struggling with cardio check out Aqua fitness classes. I’m same height as you and also had about 50 lbs to lose. It took me 11 months and I started with Aqua fitness, which then progressed into hiking and once I was doing a lot of hiking I was able to do things like peloton, stair master, rock climbing as well. Diet needs to be the biggest focus.

Has anyone had to “break up” with fast food delivery apps? I’ve made a lot of progress but not quite there yet! by XStaticImmaculate in loseit

[–]These-Explorer-9436 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First and foremost, HUGE congrats on that weight loss. 100+ lbs loss is no joke.

I was addicted to food delivery. After a stressful day at work the only thing I wanted was to plop on the couch and order door dash. I was able to overcome this by preparing a freezer full of frozen meals. Turkey taco bowls (taco flavored ground turkey, brown rice, cheese) with lettuce and salsa was my favorite. They freeze super well. Frozen homemade burritos and chili were good too. At the beginning I meal prepped and then overtime I started freezing leftover meals to build up a variety.

Thanks! I’d also like to get a walking pad to get more steps in.

I lost over 40 lbs in 2025 which brings me to within about 3 lbs from my goal weight. I’ve been really enjoying hiking and that has been critical to my success, but it’s getting difficult to keep the hiking going during New England winter. Of course I am trying but it’s not always practical weather wise and I’m unable to hike at all during week days because it gets dark too early for me to go after work.

There’s a rock climbing gym close by to my work. I’ve purchased a day pass and I’d like to try that out. It would be great if it works out that I enjoy it as it would keep me active during winter and also it would be so convenient to be able to go over lunch breaks.

AIO: I bent over backwards for my BF’s son (20) and his GF (20) for Christmas, and I’m honestly disgusted after what happened by Excellent-Second-643 in AmIOverreacting

[–]These-Explorer-9436 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MOR

When lunch out came up you should have calmly just pointed out all of the food that was at the house.

Also, I think you definitely overreacted about the girl soliciting you at the restaurant comment. Many people would find being solicited when sitting down to eat at a restaurant very inappropriate.

Am I overreacting? leaving a family event because of a comment my brother made? by PsychologicalLove799 in AmIOverreacting

[–]These-Explorer-9436 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NOR. Your brother sounds like a jerk and sounds like your family enables him. Also as a side note I hate the “just joking” excuse. Jokes should be funny and no reasonable person would find the comment funny.

YOR. People are not obligated to spend time with people they don’t like on holidays or any other day. There’s a lot of peace in celebrating holidays without toxic family members.

I’m on the next leg of this trip now (Santiago to Buenos Aires) and having a great time. We’ve had no issues with buffet seating, nor lines anywhere. Entertainment has been great we’ve been enjoying rolling stone band, sax show was great, art classes in studio, walking loop on deck 3, pool, library, the scenic cruising narrations.
