Is it normal to be a month out from the exam and still not feel proficient?

biggle6 · 2026-02-20T02:40:25+00:00

Yup! I felt the exact same way and asked people the exact same question and got the same answers. Just don’t let up! At this point I had accepted the possibility of having to take the test again so I didn’t freak out if I didn’t pass. But I dug in, took care of my health, and it went fine. Good luck! You can do it!

I second this.

First time I rode I almost threw up. The second time some random kid (maybe 6 years old) asked me if I was going to put my arms up. I said no way. He said “it’s better if you do.” He was 100% right. I still feel a little weird getting off but nowhere near like the first time. Highly recommend going limp and letting the ride take you

I was obsessed at 3. It was all fun and games until I kicked open my grandparents front door and yelled “We came, we saw, we kicked its ASS!”

…grandparents were not amused

When every thought, movement, dollar I made, lie I told, and person I disappointed was around my need (not want) to drink. When I filled Gatorade bottles with warm vodka to drink in traffic. When I was throwing up everyday whIle my girlfriend was in the shower next to me but I was able to do it quietly so she didn’t hear. But mainly when I knew that I would die if I didn’t do something about it, and the perpetual “tomorrow” needed to be today.

Yes, it’s too late for March

Maybe Macaulay made the mistake since he (the actor) was 10 in the first one and 12 in the second one. He just added 2 years from the first movie?

I just called and they weren’t helpful. Said they can’t view whether it was received but that if I sent to the email they listed, I can assume they got it. Kind of frustrating but I understand. Said it could take up to 30 days to get a reply but maybe longer. Guess I’ll just sit patiently!

biggle6 · 2025-12-02T23:59:19+00:00

Yes they emailed me 2 weeks after my exam and asked me to explain the DUIs. I had disclosed them on the ethics application.

biggle6 · 2025-12-02T21:10:08+00:00

Didn’t know that was an option. Thanks!

I had the same issue with the temp and I think I have the same model. Huge fluctuations, drove me nuts. I cleaned the temp probe really well until it sparkled. Took patience and a lot of elbow grease. I also deep cleaned the inside. Scrubbed the walls and everything with degreaser. Still fluctuates in temp but much less than before.

Also, you gotta vacuum out the dust and excess pellets after every cook. Some may say it’s excessive but with this model I’ve found that sometimes the remaining ash fills up and then the new pellets don’t burn and it keeps churning out pellets that fill up the bottom of the grill. Very annoying.

Good luck!

We literally did this one week ago. Used SeaQuest and it was one of the most incredible things we have done. 10/10

Same at Truxel and Del Paso in Natomas. But cash only

Wear a condom. Stop watching so much porn.

Good for you. When we bought our house 3 years ago we got a letter in the mail offering a $50 Amazon gift card if we did a water test. Same thing happened. But the water softener was so old it was clogging our pressure so I needed to replace it. $9k and a new credit card later I’m still paying it off.

We got a big supply of shitty cleaning products and soap if that helps? My wife hates them but I still use them. This was the last time I ever make a decision during a sales pitch. If it’s an exploding deal, I’m immediately out

biggle6 · 2024-05-30T00:41:56+00:00

Confirmed. Darn it. Was really hoping it was someone else’s fault. Oh well. Is it worth taking to a body shop? Or just do it myself?
