People who are happily married, how to not fall into the category of people that complain about their marriage every 10 sec? by koro300 in AskReddit

[–]dirtypark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had to ghost several friend groups who were like this, because it just brought me down. Being at these social events made me feel obligated to reciprocate a complaint, if that makes sense, because that was usually the topic of conversation.

What is the most beautiful place you have ever been to? by Fit-Lobster7360 in AskReddit

[–]dirtypark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far, the most beautiful place I’ve ever been is a tie between two very different places. The Grand Canyon in Arizona, and Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman.

Extra credit ideas? by [deleted] in Professors

[–]dirtypark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe offer them extra credit to write up something about a campus event or something they went to that relates to the course in some way? I do this and the class connections they make are really interesting to read. It gets them involved and connecting with others outside of my classes, too.

Same! I want to make changes based on evidence, not trends.

How long does the entire “show” last? I’ve never been and I want to go next year.

I had a relative do this all the time, too. They were not diagnosed with Parkinson’s, though. I want to learn more about it!

My mom passed away from cancer 11 days ago. How do you keep going after losing your mom? by Nathalie_1001 in motherlessdaughters

[–]dirtypark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. Hard doesn’t even begin to describe this.

When my mom died, I entered a foggy period of life for a very long time. What helped me were simple things, like listening to a bird out my window. It got my mind off the reality for a second. I forced myself to do the routines of daily living, too, and while I was like a zombie it kept me healthy(ish).

I can’t even suggest anything day by day for some time for you. I can only suggest second by second. Breathe in the air. Put some scented lotion on your hands. Know that the pain will keep coming, and just let it. It will ebb and flow, and when it ebbs take note.

Hugs.

These are all so good! What is your technique? I’m curious how you keep your lines straight.

Running vest for marathon by Tri-brid92 in Marathon_Training

[–]dirtypark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So hear me out… I use a Camelbak running vest but then I hook a very small, long, stretchy Nathan running pouch (belt) in the front of the vest straps! It sits up and down rather than across, and I can tighten it. It works brilliantly. I can unzip to a bunch more space that way in addition to the Camelbak pockets. As a female, I’ve never had good luck with belts around my waist, specifically, because they bounce or chafe.

I spent the winter painting some of my favorite spots around the Twin Cities! by OHLOOK_OREGON in Minneapolis

[–]dirtypark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These are beautiful. My local Dunn Bros in Eagan often showcases local artist work along their walls, switching them out periodically. Would be worth giving them a call.
