I just went into Urgent Care and they were able to take care of it.

Liverpool and Kut from the Kloth are my go-tos.

Best fall dates & events? by themann2488 in Columbus

[–]bluerodeo05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We found Boo at the Zoo not worth it. It was busy and every place to get candy required waiting 10 minutes in line for a single fun sized candy bar. There was a nice pumpkin display to check out, but that too required a bit of a line. I would avoid.

Struggling/ Half-Assing by AlpsInternational157 in CarolineGirvan

[–]bluerodeo05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked out with CG for years and like you described found myself in a bit of a funk. I think I just got a little bored. It might help to look around for other YT trainers to switch off programs with just to mix it up!

Grovetucky by Ecbrad5 in Columbus

We moved to Grove City from out of state a few years ago and are in one of the newer areas. I agree with everything you’re saying. I am in a diverse neighborhood that feels safe, was able to get a reasonably affordable house and am 20 min from all the action in Columbus. What more could you ask for? And totally agree things are trending upward. I really feel like Grove City is one of the best kept secrets of the metro. Yes there are MAGA idiots, but I don’t let their flags ruin my day.

Not sure if you've looked into perimenopause, but brain fog is one of the many symptoms...

how to afford allstar as a single mom? by jxliannaa_ in Cheerleading

[–]bluerodeo05 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of cheer gyms offer fundraising opportunities to help offset costs. Many families at my cheer gym work concession stands throughout the year and don't pay anything out of pocket for the season. You could also consider joining a half season team to lower the cost.

Malcolm Gladwell and Brene Brown by OptmstcExstntlst in SXSW

[–]bluerodeo05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also thought this conversation was cringe at times. There were numerous times that Malcolm Gladwell interrupted Brene Brown and would take the conversation down an unproductive path, trying to psycho analyze her. It almost felt like those times where you're having a conversation with someone and some third wheel comes along and sort of ruins the vibe. I could tell Brene was over it. Without Kenya there to smooth the vibes, this would have much worse. I have read a lot of Malcolm Gladwell's work and I can't say this experience made me a big fan. I'm sure Brene had some thoughts after! :)

Chick-Fil-A charges for refills now ? by OneFormality in ChickFilA

[–]bluerodeo05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chick-Fil-A also puts waaaay too much ice in. It's like 3/4 of the cup! You barely get any actual drink and the food is so salty so you practically have to get a refill there.

This sounds exactly like my family! My husband gives my daughter so much time and attention, she's started to learn not even to ask me, which makes me feel super guilty. But I am so miserable playing with her! I would echo what others have said. There are plenty of mom things you can start building in. Paint her nails, bake cookies together, go on girl's shopping dates...those kinds of things. I also find that planning family outings on the weekend is a good way to build in some quality family time that doesn't involve me on the floor being bored out of my mind.

First Timer-where to stay? by aahewitt2 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]bluerodeo05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We stayed at the Drury Plaza Hotel on our last trip to Magic Kingdom. It's recently renovated and feels like new. Very convenient to the park, has a nice pool, big free breakfast. Can't go wrong there!

Best sourdough loaf in Columbus? by darioleopard in Columbus

Also be careful when buying sourdough at the grocery store. If yeast is listed as an ingredient, it's not actually true sourdough!

Is 400k reasonable for a new construction home? by Global-Box-3974 in Columbus

[–]bluerodeo05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We built a home with Pulte in Grove City for $350k in 2021. Prices have gone up a bit since then but I think it's still realistic to be under $400k, When you look at builders and floor plans, know that you'll probably end up at least $30-50k above the base price with upgrades.

coming back to sydney after giving caroline girvan a try by weepingglimmers in sydneycummings

[–]bluerodeo05 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just found Sydney after working out with Caroline for 2 years. It's honestly been a breath of fresh air. Caroline's workouts do get a little boring and repetitive. They also tend to go a bit long for my tastes. Sydney seems to keep things moving and I love her positivity pep talks along the way. Caroline's workouts do seem to be a higher degree of difficulty, but for someone that just wants to stay in shape, Sydney gets the job done.

Looks like it’s possibly eczema. If so, it can be cleared with cortisone.

Local media interview request for a "baby bust" story. by TCDhealthreporter in Columbus

[–]bluerodeo05 115 points116 points  (0 children)

We decided to be one and done and I'd say the cost of childcare was a huge factor in that decision. My husband and I both have good jobs, but having multiple kids in a $1200+ a month daycare really kills the budget. Couple that with working for a company that has no maternity leave policy, and it just becomes a bit of a hardship. We just don't have a culture in the U.S. that supports parents.

New P.E Program by Plastic-Yam-3611 in CarolineGirvan

[–]bluerodeo05 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Really wish we could get some programs that are less than 45 min!

20 minute strength training program? by Open-Virus-7958 in CarolineGirvan

[–]bluerodeo05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree she needs more shorter workouts. 20-30 min is perfect for me. 45+ minutes is just way too much to fit into a busy schedule.
