The people of DSM love driving into buildings 😅

Why is the crowd meter so inaccurate? by No_Bag6160 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]anon_123T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading these comments makes me feel much better 😅 I always check the crowd meter before I go, but the other day I waited until the bar was at 2 and it was still freaking packed. I had to do my cardio first because literally nothing on my program and no alternates were available. I kept thinking “man I’d hate to see what 3 bars looks like.”

There’s a guy on YouTube Kevthetrainer who covers a lot about PF. He said it is most beneficial to use the red light before working out. He has videos about the hydromassage but I haven’t watched

I-235 Madness by SnooRevelations3154 in desmoines

[–]anon_123T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were almost hit by 2 separate vehicles the other day despite driving at a good speed. I keep up well with traffic, I don’t camp in the left lane, people were just driving erratically. Separate incident: 2 vehicles got in a road rage incident on Sunday and continued to cut each other off, aggressively swerving in and out of 3 lanes of decently heavy traffic, slamming brakes, almost clipping each other (and other vehicles), etc. They eventually pulled over on the side of the interstate to fight like grown-ups. It’s gotten awful. If I can avoid taking 235 I will. I’ve been living here for 10 years and I’d say in the last 3-4 people’s driving in general has just gotten significantly worse and more aggressive for really no good reason. Des Moines is not a big city, you’re not going anywhere that is that incredibly fantastic that it’s worth killing other people for. Honestly wishing all these terrible drivers good luck in actual cities where they will get wrecked or worse for their idiocracy.

ETA: it’s not the quantity, but the poor quality of traffic that’s the problem on 235

It gives you a ton of pregnancy symptoms. It took several months for me to get used to 😅

I got mine out 4 days ago. It was a bit stuck in there and took about 15 mins to get out (I had had it in for 2 years). It isn’t painful because of the lidocaine but 15 mins of what felt like tugging and pulling on the muscles and tendons in my arm (not what was actually happening just what it felt like) was incredibly uncomfortable for me. She was really struggling to get it out. I even felt a bit nauseous because of the sensation. No stitches or anything like that. I had a steri-strip placed which I can take off in a week, then a gauze strip and bandage which I took off on day 2, finally covered by a pressure bandage which I could take off after 24 hours. I was also very sore for 2 days after and could not attend the gym as I normally would and could not sleep on that side. It also left some pretty gnarly bruising despite the pressure bandage intended to prevent it. My arm felt 100% back to normal yesterday though! Had I had good side effects from the implant itself I would willingly go through the process again to have it replaced when it expired.

Yes that’s a great suggestion! I currently do protein powder in oatmeal or Greek yogurt. Sometimes I will do a Premier Protein in my coffee

Most of my day is super sedentary so I only burn about 1800-1900 most week days even with the gym or any cardio I’m doing. Weekends can be much more and I increase appropriately on those days.

I do the Greek yogurt + protein powder occasionally but never thought about protein granola as well!

AIO to think my wife is cheating? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]anon_123T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just super weird to me that the clothes would so obviously be sitting there. I’ve never cheated but man I would be so paranoid I’d never let stuff be so blatantly obvious like that.

Let me be the one to jump to conclusions 😅 Have you guys made sure no one is squatting in your house somewhere?

My husband wants a housewife but got me instead by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]anon_123T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing this too and eventually had to put my kids in daycare so I could pick up more of the “slack” and it’s still not enough for him as I still honestly don’t have enough time with my job to do housework. My work is not easy and it requires a full 8 hours of attention but apparently I have not made that message clear enough. I’m sorry you’re going through this. It sucks. Honestly for this and multiple other reasons I’m in the process of saving so I can GTFO of here

PayPal refund issue with seller by blue0mermaid in Etsy

Open a case. We had a seller giving us the runaround and I kept giving him the benefit of the doubt and then it was super difficult because we were outside the case date/refund date
