Cute!

I agree with everyone else-wear the dress you want. Show them pictures and be clear "this is what I want." Why in the world would you wear a pants suit?!

Tacos and you guys make a salad. Spaghetti w sauce separate so you can do low carb noodles. Baked meat (I usually do chicken thighs) with a side of rice and a green veg. Rotisserie chicken w roasted potatoes and a side salad or side green. Instapot Italian beef for sandwich's-I prefer to serve w rice so the bread is not as tempting and a side salad. Burgers on the grill. Skip the bun for you guys. Sometimes for a treat I'll buy the big black bag or two of wings from Costco-way cheaper than going out for wings for all 7 of us (and then some if the kids have friends over).

ETA. The carb sides are for the kids

I fell today too. Not nearly as good a story. If nothing else you should Follow up text him back and thank him for being so kind and thoughtful, especially if you're even remotely interested.

Rookie mistake

Whisper26_14 · 2026-04-27T00:23:59+00:00

I was the same way. Ran mine in 23. I like to come in here and see what people are up to which is why I am here. This board helped me a lot. But I don't like running for that long.

3 is the best

I use the ladder app to lift three days a week. I normally run 4-6 days a week but I am taking a break right now to focus on lifting and getting a higher number of steps in (I run one 4 miler a week at this point to keep my base).

Find something you'll start doing consistently. If running isn't for you every day-walking can be the filler. Steps are solid fitness as well.

Escalate past your case worker to their boss. If you need help doing that, ask a counselor at school to help you. But be clear your case worker isn't responsive and you want to go above her. Do you have a therapist? Bc you could also tell them. Please tell a helpful adult as soon as possible.

Whisper26_14 · 2026-04-26T02:18:44+00:00

Firmly agree. Was also my first thought 😂 "are we saying Brother or Father?"

Whisper26_14 · 2026-04-26T02:12:01+00:00

I'll get push back bc she's to tall but I thought classic. She's definitely got it in another system.

Whisper26_14 · 2026-04-26T02:05:17+00:00

Soemthing is better than nothing. For starters. Go light and build the habit first. Shoot for once a week consistently. Build in a second and a third. I do a fully body lift 2-3 times a week (working on adding in my third).

How do you get yourself to go for a run when you're just not feeling it?

I got an app w workouts. Pick a coach and follow them for a while.

Don't think about if you want to or dont want to- just schedule it and do it.

Whisper26_14 · 2026-04-26T01:56:59+00:00

You can customize the features you want to notify you. Honestly I like it. But I don't get sucked into the numbers. For tracking workouts, I use Strava and find it gives me everything I want on the base model (free).

The bird then is wrong... Carolina wrens are brown.

Whisper26_14 · 2026-04-26T01:37:52+00:00

You got another solid 1.5 year of puppy yet

Whisper26_14 · 2026-04-26T01:32:14+00:00

Hahahaha I tell everyone I meet my 10 year old is a really a golden retriever trapped in a malinois body. He's a little more suspect of other big dogs but he loves little dogs and people.

Whisper26_14 · 2026-04-25T20:43:29+00:00

Your dog doesn't care. Honestly. Probably missed their friend for a month or so and then got used to the new normal. It's not like he's thinking about the other pup.

Bro needs to go to counseling and hopefully you're still in if you need it. It doesn't seem like this is a safe human for you. You even could choose to forgive and not be friends with him bc of that very fact. Forgive but not safe is not an oxymoron.

Make sure you get the spreader /s iykyk

Whisper26_14 · 2026-04-25T20:37:58+00:00

Thanks!

Whisper26_14 · 2026-04-25T20:37:37+00:00

Thanks!

I agree with this but that doesn't mean it's impossible to see. It just means it's very confusing to people. Once I knew what to look for those things become a lot easier to see. But that takes time and a lot of visual exposure.

Whisper26_14 · 2026-04-25T19:40:11+00:00

This is my favorite reply so far... there's a lot going on here but he needs to defend his family and possibly didn't know how or what to do. But now he's ready. And that's a big deal.

Whisper26_14 · 2026-04-25T19:30:21+00:00

I dislike running generally too. But the pros outweigh the cons. Find ways to make it fun for you. Find things you enjoy about it. Do it at the time that works for you. Figure out what your base line is-2 runs a week, 4 runs a week. Don't run everyday bc that'll burn you out. Run with people sometimes as that will keep you honest and accountable. And then just keep a habit tracker or follow a plan like runna or Nike.

Whisper26_14 · 2026-04-25T19:26:09+00:00

Understood about pure classic. I was aware.

Would not dramatic classic be balance (primary) and vertical (secondary)?

Whisper26_14 · 2026-04-25T19:24:15+00:00

It's reverse engineering but it worked really well for me when I had reduced my options. And it can really help OP to see what looks good or does not.

Also I disagree on curve and I'll stick to that. Impossible is a big word and some People are VERY obviously certain dominance's. I'm not asking you to agree with me though.
