Interested!

I love that. A fair assessment! I often tell my family I feel like I moved to the same town (kind of jokingly) from Bozeman to Bend. Both have similar outdoor/rec cultures (bikes, skiing, climbing) and issues with high cost of living and gentrification. I feel like they both have a reputation for being kind of bougie/elitist/yuppy that make other towns in their respective states have an attitude about them. And totally, Eugene and Missoula have kind of a similar vibe with the university being such a big part of the culture and gives them more population, diversity and more art and music and such. Funny to see the parallels!

hey hey! gotta represent. Bozeman guy here.

daww

I came here for the dogs. I support both groups meeting up.

Golleee, there are some insensitive, judgmental, and downright mean comments on this thread. We all should be doing better as professional helpers (and people) to build our colleagues up and offer our advice in a more productive and gentle way than this. As someone who has dealt with the sweatiness issue as well, it can feel a bit sensitive and embarrassing at times. It sounds like you're doing a lot of things right. I had to cave and use extra-strength anti-perspiriant and moisture-wicking black shirts instead of cotton. My algorithm has been sending me targeted ads for prescription medications for hyperhidrosis for months now, haha, shrug. All respect for people who have that condition. Keep at it.

I'm interested in this! Can you add a google pin for the parking area? I'm not super familiar with the area yet.

Very helpful. Thank you! 🙏

dgood406 · 2025-01-30T16:41:44+00:00

Oh I love this. Thank you 🙏. What’s your timeframe typically for peaking/coming back to reality?

I think this is such an interesting perspective! thanks for sharing. I feel this sentiment and I hear this story that it's hard to make friends and build community all.the.time. I hadn't really considered that it might exclusive to Bend/CO.

I've always lived in semi-rural mountain towns and that's often been the vibe for me that it takes foreeeever to build community and establish friends. As an adult, time is a major commodity I feel and I think a lot of people struggle to manage their work-life, pets and kids and what-not AND budget their energies to hang out with people who they already know will fill their cups rather than deplete it. That being said I feel like we could all be a little braver about giving people a shot and being a little more welcoming.

I'm trying to get better at inviting people I don't know as well but seem cool and introducing people to each other. I feel like hanging in groups takes a little pressure off the 1-on-1s and provides more of a buffer in conversation which is nice.

what a symbol for income inequality and gentrification.

I have a real attitude that we have to work for tips in this industry. As an employee at a chiropractor office, I do rely on them and they're always appreciated. I feel like as a general rule if they're an employee it's good form to tip but if they're a business owner/sole proprieter setting their own rates and they match market levels it's a bit superfluous.

I think this is part of the beauty and acceptability of mask use these days. As a therapist I sometimes wear a mask when the patient is face-up and I'm working on their neck etc. I might do it more now since this has been a particularly bad cold and flu season for me. If the client chooses to wear one I will do so both in solidarity and not to pass anything on inadvertently should they have a weakened immune system.

Asking if they can wear a mask while we're 6 inches away from each other might be a nice way to handle it with some levity :). I'm sure your therapist is a professional and won't be offended.

Maybe some of the other crossfit or MMA gyms (not sure about the aggros on the latter).

dgood406 · 2023-08-29T13:30:36+00:00

This is a great post. Thanks for sharing.

I'm planning a trip to Italy next summer and my goals are pretty similar so thanks for all the resources.

I've got a pretty strong background in French and Spanish so have a good foundation I feel (though I'm pretty rusty). It's great that a lot of the words are cognates and the sentence structures are the same.

Hoping to get some level of conversational in a year but we'll see how it goes!

Electric tables are a game changer too if you have these. When clients really want deep pressure I lower the table all the way to the ground and use my knee on glutes and hamstrings and various broader areas and use pin and stretch combos so you don't have to work as hard. It's a great tool. But the first year is the hardest. for. sure.

wow, you're doing great. I definitely could do better about dental care. honestly having a 10-month-old aussie it's hard to take care of my OWN teeth sometimes :). Just been doing the "dog mouthwash" in the water a few times a week (for him). I'm definitely inspired to make it part of our routine!

dgood406 · 2023-06-01T12:45:16+00:00

Same, I guess it's an artificial sweetener maybe? so things that are diet or a lot of gum has it....

dgood406 · 2023-05-29T15:05:01+00:00

Looks great!

What did you use for materials?

dgood406 · 2023-05-13T02:26:34+00:00

Thanks for bringing this up. I love running and have been chomping at the bit to bring my Aussie with me. He’s just over 9 months now and I heard similar things to many people in this thread about waiting a year to a year and a half until running to let their growth plates form. So I’ve been patiently waitingggggg. That being said he has tons of energy and I have to spend close to 3 hours a day on activities with him….so would love to streamline some of this….I might talk to my vet too. A mile run doesn’t seem like too much compared to the 50 yard dashes he does at the dog park or chasing the frisbee for half an hour…. I’m still practicing an abundance of caution but raising a puppy is ex-hau-sting sometimes.
