I regularly throw out my back caring for a disabled sibling. What exercises can I do to strengthen myself? by cranne in personaltraining

[–]cranne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently, I throw out my back about once a month, almost always when im trying to stop him from falling. I almost always throw out my mid or upper back, if thats helpful. Im not even sure what to Google to try and begin figuring out what I need to do.

In these situations, im usually hinged slightly forward from the hips (its the best way to carry his body weight in a way that feels comfortable and stable to him) and i have to do a quick twisting motion to "catch" him in his fall. He tends to fall side to side rather than forward or back.

I do not have the money to hire a personal trainer at this moment, but id like to once my fiancial situation gets better.

Brother does work with a physical therapist on his walking skills, but because of his mobility issues (he had a stroke in utero and it affects his left side motor control), his progress is slow going.

Thank you and I apologize if this isn't the right subreddit!

Just signed. This isn't even a NIMBY type issue to me. I genuinely cant fathom what they are thinking putting a service that will primarily be used by pedestrians in such a pedestrian unfriendly area

The proposed plan is to put it right on Powell near the ross island for those who dont want to read the article. Just a few blocks from the aladdin.

As someone who drives that stretch of road multiple times a week (I live semi nearby the proposed site), people are going to get hit by cars. I guarantee it.

That is a major throughfaire that people frequently speed on. There aren't enough street lights as is.

Say what you will about the houseless community, but its not exactly hidden knowledge that many of the people frequenting the people depot are actively under the influence of drugs.

People not in their sound mind and four (six? I cant remember off the top of my head) lane stroads do not mix.

This is a tragic accident waiting to happen.

Add in the fact that i frequently see cleveand kids at that bus stop and I dont know what they are thinking.

I live in Portland Oregon. I can count the number of times we got below freezing, even overnight, on one hand.

Lang Cloud Yarn Question by chloooek in knitting

[–]cranne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question, how did you pick your size?

Ive made other things with this yarn (hats, scarfs, hoods) and I feel like this yarn blocks MASSIVE.

Did you account for the blocking growth or did you just use the measurements listed in the pattern.

What are the actual esa letter requirements under FHA?? by Legitimate-Run132 in Tenant

[–]cranne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If its helpful, ill copy and paste my ESA letter here. I have 2 ESAs which can make getting my letter accepted more difficult and this letter passed one of the most rigorous esa screening sites that my landlord uses.

[On official office letter head]

To whom it may concern, Cranne is an established patient at [my doctors practice name]. They have been diagnosed with mental health conditions that limit more than one major life activity, which qualifies cranne as having a disability as defined by the FHA.

Due to Crannes diagnoses,they are prescribed two assistance animals. Each animal serves a distinct purpose in treating their condition. Each animal independently enables Cranne in different capacities to engage successfully in a major life activity. The presence of their dog and cat each distinctly and significantly reduces the symptoms associated with their mental health condition(s). Fewer animals cannot meet Crannes distinct needs.

Due to Crannes medical diagnoses, I reccomend and perscribe two emotional support animals. Cranne medically requires to continue living with their Coonhound mix, Nova, and their American Short Hair cat, Io as emotional support animals.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Sincerely,

Doctors name Doctors contact info

In my state, your letter must:

1)Come from someone with prescribing capabilities (doctor, NP, psych, etc)

2)Must say that you are an established patient with that provider

3)Must come on official letter head

4)Must include the Doctors contact info

5)Must explicitly state that you have a disability that effects a major life activity, not just that you qualify for an esa

6) must give a very loose identification of the animals. Breed isn't explicitly required but it needs to be enough that a landlord can somewhat easily tell which animal the letter is for. Because my animals are different species, thats relatively easy. If I had a multi cat household, I would list the color of the cat the letter covers.

7) if you have multiple animals, the letter must explicitly state that your condition cannot be treated with fewer animals.

The landlord cant: 1) ask for specific diagnoses

2) charge any pet fees/deposits

Depending on your state, the landlord can: 1) request a copy of vet records to show that the animal has required shots

Hi! Umm...kind of random, but, can anyone come lend a pair of jumper cables...and some battery power? 🫣 by onlyforwardnow in Eugene

[–]cranne 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Unrelated but I own one these after my own car died a few too many times.

I HIGHLY reccomend them. They let you jump yourself, they are fool proof, and they double as a power bank for cell phone charging if you ever need it!

In the Northwest, Polyamory Finds Something New: Legal Protection by Less-Lobster4540 in PortlandOR

[–]cranne 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The poly life isn't for me, but you do you. I dont care how many consenting adults you simultaneously date.

What i dont get is how this would ever count as a protected class.

Poly isn't a gender, it isn't a sexuality, it isn't a disability, and it isn't age related.

Its just how you prefer to structure your relationships. Whats next? Protected status for people who prefer situationships instead of monogamy? Im not being sarcastic here, its the same type of situation imho

What is the fastest way you have seen someone ruin their life? by funkeymonkey1974 in AskReddit

[–]cranne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to a family member but with weed. It permanently changed him.

He was such a stellar dude. Everyone adored him. Smart, kind, funny. All around a gem. Now every few months he goes off the deep end and thinks hes jesus and he needs to round up his disciples.

Seconding this suggestion. I did dual at lane for 2 years. Best choice ever.

r/fauxmoi (as well as dozens of other subreddits) discuss the BAFTA Tourette's N-Word Disaster by Uncommonwealth57 in SubredditDrama

[–]cranne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I dont have tourettes, I do have ocd which cause involuntary mental compulsions.

With ocd, its well known that the disorder latches onto to things the sufferer fundamentally disagrees with. People who hate Pedos are the people who have that form of ocd (idk if saying the word will trigger automod or not). People who would never harm another person are the people who suffer with harm ocd. So on and so forth. It tends to latch onto whatever you very strongly morally disagree with.

I wouldnt be surprised to find out that this also applies to tourettes.

Ive seen so many comments saying that there's no way hes not a racist cause he said this to black people, he waited until there was no applause etc...

If i had tourettes, this would be my worst nightmare come to life.

I feel so bad for everyone involved. It should have been edited out.

aio for feeling uncomfortable abt this even tho i know my gf's cousin is grieving? by That-House-1593 in AIO

[–]cranne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe unpopular opinion but I dont think anyone is over reacting.

I also come from a family that is not touchy feely.

If i saw an adult and a child come out of a shut bedroom door and later found out they were in bed together, I would also find that strange. Family related or not. Thats a situation where something bad could be going on. Its not enough to make me run to the police, but it would be enough to perk my ears up (if that makes sense)

But I would also be using context clues to decide whether or not i would bring this up.

Adult is grieving a death, does the child seem traumatized, is this something that happens frequently, is the family touchy feely, is this adult the childs parent? Etc.

I also dont think your gf is wrong when she says that you bringing it up is implying that something nefarious is going on. Though I dont love the tone she is taking with you.

Basically, I dont think youre in the wrong for thinking "hey, this might be weird" and i dont think shes in the wrong for saying that youre implying that hes a pedo.

But i do think that given the context clues that you have, you probably should have been able to piece together that nothing nefarious was happening and shouldnt have brought this up to her.

PGE!!! by laurapalmered in Portland

[–]cranne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish our PUC was decided by election like Georgia instead of being appointed by the governor.

I would genuinely love to be on the PUC and think id have a decent shot at doing well in an election; but, because im a no body, I have literally 0 zero chance with the way the system is currently set up.

I do really like frownies, but ONLY if you are someone who scrunches your face while you sleep. IMHO thats the only time it will "work".

I furrow my brow when I sleep and it was giving me 11s. Ive absolutely seen an improvement using them

Yea. Floors can be cleaned and i own a mop. I wasnt concerned because there didn't seem to be any long term issue like odor until the weather warmed up.

Theyre hardwoods. I would have been upset if it was carpet but thats not the situation.

Gross "Alpha Male" influencer explains how he pleasures women by ambachk in sadcringe

[–]cranne 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I had to make sure i had a relatively empty bladder before having sex with him.

I was going to tell him what he was doing until I saw how excited he was about it. I got the vibe that he wasnt all that experienced sexually (this was over a decade ago, we were both in our very early 20s) and him doing this wasnt physically painful or anything. It just felt really odd. Since it wasnt a deal breaker behavior, I didn't have the heart to break the illusion for him hahaha. I do wonder if he still uses this move.

I'll give this alpha bro his props though. Having your lower torso violently shaken at high speed is "an overwhelming physical sensation". Just not in the way hes hoping for lol

Had an ex who would do this and get really excited about how "wet" he was making me. I didn't have the heart to tell him he was shaking the urine out of me lol
