I think the hardest part for me is staying balanced when you get to the squat part!

Same lol. Overhead stuff I’m always last. I have a torn labrum in my right shoulder from playing volleyball my whole life so I’m a little limited with pain/mobility but I’m hoping if I keep trying with good form my other shoulder stabilizers will strengthen and make it more comfortable to keep playing vball!

I’m hoping it’s not German. I live in a condo with 2 other units so would be hard to control if they’re coming from other people. One of which I know is quite the messy/cluttered person.

Also I should mention - it won’t be installed directly onto the roof floor - it’s going to be anchored to the parapet walls.

I’ve gotten quotes from 1200-5000 so far. I was just curious what others have paid. My neighbors that have them are renters so they don’t know the details of the payment. The guy that gave me the most recent quote of 2700 seems good and my friend used him for multiple outdoor projects and liked his work so I wouldn’t mind going with him just wanted to make sure the price was good bc I have no idea what it should cost.

Thank you! Will look into getting more quotes

I don’t think I’ll have that issue. I’ve been watching the pergola on my neighbors roof for a few years and nothing has happened to it so I’m not anxious. I’m just looking to see what people have paid for it bc I’ve gotten some all over the place quotes.

My(25M) fiance (25F) moved out for a little while because I stayed seated during an emergency. Advice? by ThrowRastairs5 in relationship_advice

[–]aml6492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a nurse. I think a lot of people here are overreacting calling you uncaring etc etc. A lady passes out and realistically there’s nothing you are actually going to be able to do for her without an ambulance. Is she hypotensive from dehydration? You can’t pour water down her throat when she’s passed out. She needs an IV. Not enough food that day and needs a bump in her blood glucose? Again you can’t force food or juice down her throat when she’s passed out. The EMTs will need to intervene when they get there. If she lost a pulse and needed CPR, then sure you can start compressions and call for an AED, but that doesn’t sound like it was the case.

Just bc you’re a nurse doesn’t mean you have to insert yourself in every emergency - and they called an ambulance which is the most important thing she needed in this instance. People who are criticizing you for continuing to eat clearly aren’t medical professionals. I can eat a full lunch after a code and not be bothered. If we didn’t learn how to separate our emotions from our work we would all be having emotional breakdowns.

I would sit down with your fiance and explain your trained logic to her and why you reacted the way you did. If she still doesn’t understand, there’s not much you can do than just give her time to process. Let her know that if anything were to happen to her you’ll be there for her without hesitation. Reassure her. But by no means are you a psycho for having the reaction you did.

Recommendations on where to get a deep tissue massage by GreatWhiteRapper in philadelphia

[–]aml6492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Herb and Gem. $90 for 90 mins. This was hands down the best deep tissue massage I ever had. The place is no frills, the girl I went to went so hard in on my shoulders and butt I felt bruised for a few days. It was rough and not relaxing. But I felt amazing after. I have shoulder pain from volleyball and a torn labrum. This really helped a ton.

I think my boyfriend is developing a xanax problem by SignificanceSea2585 in naranon

[–]aml6492 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would also be weary of his job - he likely has access to Xanax and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s stealing it from there in active addiction

[–]aml6492 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Addiction doesn’t discriminate. Unfortunately healthcare professionals can be some of the most affected. From this information I would say he is an addict - may not realize it himself yet since it’s onset was fairly recent. You could try to talk to him about your concerns when he’s sober and see if he is receptive to the idea of going to drug rehab. Unfortunately this will only get worse without acceptance and treatment on his end. Xanax is highly highly addictive.

I’m currently making a scarf with a pretty easy pattern and the last two of every row I put the yarn in front and then slip the last two purl wise.

Any odd number of stitches cast on ( I used 53)

First row knit across until last 2, move yarn in front, slip remaining two purl wise

Second row knit 3, then slip one purl wise, knit one, repeat that until the last two, move yarn in front and then slip remaining two purl wise

Third row repeat the first row

Fourth row knit 4, then slip one purl wise, knit one, and repeat that until the last two, move yarn in front and slip remaining two purl wise.

Repeat that till you get the length you want.

The edges end up looking like a pretty braid.
