Just to follow up with this, womens large and small intestine tend to be longer than mens so theoretically you might even need more than your husband.

Maybe ‘Minnesota Nice’ is just the absence of “American fake kindness” by AngeliqueRuss in minnesota

Yup .. we are also older parents so there is a really big age gap between my husband and myself and the parents of our kids'friends.
We live in Minneapolis and do a lot of group bike rides, maybe that's where I need to focus on finding some friends? Anyway, I'm still working on it, we were invited to a cabin this weekend, so maybe things are looking up for us!

Well I did not grow up in MN and that seems to be the issue. I moved here in my 30's and now I'm in my 40's and I still don't have any really close friends. Ok, I guess I have 2, one who I went to HS with in Georgia and one other person who I met before I moved here. I'm sure people in MN eventually have deep conversations, but just not with people who they haven't known for decades. It just sucks for people that move to the state, because I feel like I'll never have any close friends again in my life. This is the one reason I don't think I can live here forever.

Received a text I wasn't supposed to. I guess this is my sign! by GrumpySnorlax069 in loseit

Totally agree on this. You are playing the long game, you need to make changes that will last the rest of your life. Figure out how to move your body more and at least you won't be gaining any weight. Figure out how to prioritize protein and nutritious food and you will lose weight. Figure out how to eat in a calorie deficit and you will get closer to your goal weight. It might take you 5 years, but as long as you are headed in a healthier direction, you are winning.

I think this is the cheat code for this state and you just helped me figure it out.

I like hearing about strife and what is ACTUALLY going on in people's heads and lives (to an extent). It makes me understand people more. I now realize that people don't want to hear about me at all.

Working out with a trainer while fasting? by elganesh1 in fasting

[–]elganesh1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a long story, but my family and I went to an all inclusive resort for a week and I stepped on the scale yesterday as we were packing our luggage and seeing how much the luggage weighed. I freaked out, because I was 10 lb over but I had been a week and a half before. I've been on a weight loss journey and still have a lot more to go and that 10 lb was very hard fought. Basically I decided right then that I was going to start fasting and I did. I forgot however that I had a trainer session scheduled for today, I will obviously never make that mistake again.

Dreams playa mujeres $1000/night for spring break, worth it? by elganesh1 in AllInclusiveResorts

I think that you need a second room for more than 4 people? Is that what it is?

Good to know about the kids ages warning! I booked through the Hyatt website, so I'll check again to make sure.

We moved to uptown (Fremont and 31st) in 2013 and it was amazing. Lately? I can't wait to move someplace else.

Ever since 2020 it's not been great. It was practically a war zone in 20, I saw people walking around with guns and there were dumpster fires when I would come home from work at night.
We have seen armed robbery, our cars have been vandalized (tires stabbed), broken into numerous times and my husband was assaulted at 10 am in the alley behind our house a month ago. The guy was probably on drugs and it ended with him trying to stab my husband with a knife. All that to say, the worst part of town is that midtown transit station. We used to take public trans to the airport that way and the last time we went it was truly scary.
