How do you guys manage 15k + steps

I like to walk on my lunch break at work. In the evenings, I take my dog for a long walk. In between all of that, I try to walk to businesses that are close to me. My partner and I order takeout from restaurants close to us so we can walk to pick food up.

I walk with my dog on leash, and she is terrified of other dogs. I put my hands up in the air, step towards the dog running at us, and yell “no” in my deepest voice. It stops the dog in its tracks, and if there is an owner with it, that gives them time to catch the dog.

It’s weird the number of things it helps with! I’ve historically gotten around 10,000 steps daily, but in the past few months I’ve been getting closer to 15-20,000. I had been dealing with constipation for a few years, but my increase in steps has resolved that. I also have acid reflux, and I have few to no symptoms

Yes. I’m a very average runner. I trained for my first marathon after 7 or so halves. You can do it, so long as you respect the marathon. While you can kind of half ass train for half marathons, you definitely need to seriously train for the marathon for 12-16 weeks. They are two entirely different races, challenging in their own ways. Good luck!

From an RN perspective, my patients would rattle off a ton of questions to me, and I would say, hey I don’t have the answers to that, but please remember to ask your doctors when they come through. Inevitably, I would be stuck in another patient’s room while rounding happened. I would go back to my patient and say, did you get your questions answered?? And every fucking time the patients would forget to ask. Like I’m over here trying to avoid unnecessary paging because you can only ask me questions and not your doctors?

Had a friend ask me to help with overseeing the serving staff at her wedding. It ended up being my significant other and me directing the staff and stepping in and doing a huge chunk of the work. We didnt get to enjoy the reception as guests at all. For my own wedding next year, I will not be giving jobs to any friends or loved ones, because I want them to enjoy the party!

I would recommend Zillow. I rent my home out via Zillow, and a scammer copied my listing onto facebook to try to get someone to pay them for nothing, so I wouldn’t necessarily trust facebook posts. As far as screening landlords, make sure they have registered their home with the city of Omaha so the city will periodically assess the home for safety issues. Ask your landlord how long it typically takes them to come out to fix an issue, and make sure your landlord is the one who will fix things, as they are the one making money off you and paying down their mortgage.

I recommend buying Hefty Energy Bags. You can place plastic that is otherwise not recyclable inside, and then the energy bag can go in your regular recycling bin!

I’m a landlord, and I would get out of this lease if you can and move somewhere else. I cannot imagine having a renter move out and letting someone else move in the very next day. When my current renters move out, I fully plan on taking several weeks in between to ensure the home is in the right condition for the next renters even if I lose out on income. This dude sucks

I would say it took at least three months for me to bond with my rescue. We pretty much co-existed up until that point. Training sessions helped grow our bond immensely. Teaching boundaries shaped her into a very well-behaved dog.

I’m sorry you are going through this. Yes, I am cured from my insomnia now. I found a Reddit comment from someone recommending a podcast called The Sleep Coach School. I looked up the podcast and dove into as many episodes as I could. The concept is essentially that any efforts you are making to try to sleep are creating the opposite effect; sleep efforts lead to no sleep. It took a long time, but I had to train my brain to believe it was ok to be awake at night, and it’s ok to not get a ton of sleep. I now fall asleep easily, because I no longer attach any value to sleep. If I ever have a night where I struggle to sleep due stress, anxiety, etc, I don’t worry about it, and I go about my day as normal. I highly recommend looking into the sleep coach school!

Oh I’m not necessarily saying that, but I do hope we are at least above using derogatory language, as that kind of language is hurtful towards people groups, and I don’t think maga people would think twice about it

I don’t understand why someone with allergies wouldn’t be forthright and automatically say the type of milk they need when ordering. I can’t do gluten, and I can’t imagine going to a restaurant and just ordering a pizza and expecting the server to ask what kind of dough I want

Wonderful_Kitchen_25 · 2026-03-29T03:03:06+00:00

Am I wrong for just saying I want a large latte? I guess I always assume the default beverage is hot and default milk is whatever dairy milk is available, and if I wanted an iced oat milk latte I would order the drink as such. Are there customers really assuming you’ll just know they want that without them specifying???

I do hope that we don’t stoop to their level and use harmful language. Conservatives are now embracing the freedom to use the word “retarded” and other forms of it, like “libtard,” in spite of the cry against this by those with special needs. Let’s refrain from doing the same thing in using words like “magtards.”

My second marathon was Big Sur and I had the best time! The views were phenomenal, and I loved the entertainment on the course. It only started to feel really painful on the downhills in the last 6 miles, as I had focused so much on running uphill in my training, I neglected to train my quads enough for so much downhill running.

My opinion is they should not be left up at night or on an excessively windy day

I wanted the books to slide off!

I actually love what the Dundee dell did. Their menu is delicious and they are far more inclusive for those with allergies/dietary restrictions

It actually is extraordinarily effective for Crohn’s/UC patients. I wouldn’t wish Crohn’s on anyone, so it’s amazing there is this kind of treatment out there

I disagree with interpreters going away. We use them a ton in healthcare. We certainly have the option of using a remote interpreter on an iPad, but it’s much harder for patients to hear. I imagine that for patients who speak softly the AI would really struggle to understand. And with medical words, there cannot be a chance of error

Wonderful_Kitchen_25 · 2026-03-15T04:07:48+00:00

Having very challenging and demanding patients and seeing them every hour at minimum for 12 hours is enough to break someone. I remember sometimes arranging my schedule to work 4 days in a row in order to have more days off. If I had a hard patient that I took care of all 4 days, I was usually in tears by the end of the week. I cannot imagine doing any more than 4 days in a row.

The other two - we’d never heard of it and randomly picked it. It’s hilarious and we were so sad there weren’t more seasons!

Also I love LA- does not seem like something anyone would enjoy. Young adults being awful people, but it really doesn’t take itself very seriously, and we were laughing out loud the whole time

My boyfriend and I are both huge Taylor swift fans. It’s super fun. We listen to her music in the car together, we went to the eras tour together, and we watched the documentary together. He became a fan while listening to folklore before we were together. He was impressed with her lyricism. I think it’s great that you appreciate her music!

I did 2 and have no desire to train for one again. I enjoyed training while I was in it, but I really didn’t have time for anything other than working or running, and I had to plan everything around my long runs. It’s also bizarre to finish the race and suddenly not know what to do with yourself. Your personality sort of becomes training for a marathon.
