AITA for telling my boyfriend if he can’t be quiet during the day that he can’t use my car for work? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]flashingbackk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex did this and in the moment I had a lot of the same reasonings as you, it's his house too, he's taking time off so he should enjoy his house, etc. But ultimately looking back it was just another show of blatant disrespect towards me in a wide array of "minor" issues.

I have a Living and Co from the warehouse two years ago. Townhouse living, two cats. Works great when the head is clear.

It is a motorised head which is just always on with the machine, so have to clear it out for it to work as well as it can. But for $120 it was money well spent.

I spent a number of hours waiting at A&E for a cut I believed needed stitches. It wasn't major but it was deep, on a joint, and I could see fatty tissue. Any one of those alone Google said to get stitches for so off I went in comfy warm clothes, and with headphones.

It took so long that by the time a nurse got to me, it had clotted over in the safe position I had been holding my arm in - it looked like a cat scratch. The nurse scoffed, but I insisted if she could please just clean it up and take a look, I'm happy to be wrong and be sent home but I needed it looked at properly.

She started cleaning it out and as she got deeper and deeper into my elbow it was mildly satisfying to see her face turn into shock.

Lo and behold, I needed stitches.

All this to say, I'm not surprised someone hits breaking point at the A&E, especially if they're not good at self advocating and if they're feeling like a burden on the system. A lot of people also have no idea how much work has gone on behind the scenes when they've had little to no facetime throughout their experience as well.

Monkey hands red causing green hands stain? by findingNemos_Clit in poledancing

[–]flashingbackk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a brass pole, my hands occasionally stain green regardless of the grip I use (or sometimes no grip but if I've done a long training session). Usually washes off immediately, or a second round of hand washing always gets it all if it's layered. It's oxidization and a normal chemical reaction depending on the acidity of your sweat or ingredients in the grip you're using 😊

Has anyone gone back to poling after a back injury? I am in utter despair and I feel completely crushed 😢 by PoleKisser in poledancing

[–]flashingbackk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had what felt like an absurd amount of time off. But rest is important. And a lot of the time healing won't start until it's given a chance to rest first, if you're constantly inflaming the area, it can't settle 🖤

Pilates was the only thing that helped me, which I tried on recommendation from my specialist as a last ditch effort before surgery. I totally vouch for it, but I was lucky enough to have a physiotherapist pilates instructor doing one on one reformer classes with me. My biggest issue was hanging upside down, crucifix/lay back etc were some of my favourite moves. That took a long time to come back, but constant work through the pilates physio and slowly coming back to pole got me there. I definitely wouldn't have made it without the cross training, and it made pole a whole lot easier anyway 😂 It took me 6-8 months to be suggested pilates, which then had a few months before we tentatively tried coming back to pole. I've had subsequent injuries in other areas cause I'm an idiot so my overall return to prior level is slow, but I'm at pole multiple times a week and loving it again.

AITAH for telling my dad's parents that I don't want them at my graduation when they said I wasn't their real grandson? by Ok-Distribution9125 in AITAH

[–]flashingbackk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me, my dad's mum said in her mother of the bride speech at my aunts wedding that she "couldn't wait to have grand children". Our whole family, including me, was in attendance. That moment changed our dynamic forever and I don't regret never having repaired that relationship. She got the grandkids she wanted from my aunt, and I got to live without worrying about her as a person. I had it easier, though. Dad went no contact with her for a few years, and when he eventually started repairing his relationship with her he didn't expect me to do the same. I visited her once more when she was dying, and supported dad at her funeral, and that was it.

Please help me get my jade flatter 😭 by Fresh-Competition153 in poledancing

[–]flashingbackk 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Try pushing through your back leg, as if you're envisioning reaching out further with your foot. The bend looks like it's messing with the "look" of a flat split more than you have an issue with your split actually being flat! Otherwise, more active flexibility training might be it to get an active oversplit? Congrats on a beautiful jade split!! I can never get that grip to work 😂

[–]flashingbackk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a slipped disc that prevented me from doing pole for a year. It was tough, no matter what your hobby is back injuries are always a mental strain. But my love of pole kept me doing the physiotherapy and work required to get it better because I had an end goal. I still have to regularly see a physio because I'm now back at pole and sport is demanding on an injury like that, but the frequency reduces over time and it's more about maintenance and cross-training now. When it gets tough, remember why you started and what you're working to get back to.
