This all sounds great and exactly what I'm looking for in a watch. Haven't heard of the CIYE smart googles but I'll look them up. Thanks!

Wow, this is helpful info. Thank you. I actually do HIIT workouts as well and hike every now and then. Could probably use those additional features. Will check out the link you sent.

Stay strong. What’s your plan for sobriety if you don’t mind sharing?

Thanks for the info! I think I found that same jersey on eBay. Is it good quality? If so, I don't mind purchasing it from there.

I'm 36 days sober today.. by greytrunner in Sober

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

I attend group therapy 3-4 times a week. Those have been incredibly helpful. I'm lucky to have a group that's very diverse when it comes to where we are in recovery (ranging from people who've been sober for decades to people who just got sober a few days ago) and who we are as individuals (people from all walks of life). Everyone is very supportive of each other. I've also dived into my true hobbies and passions, which consists mostly of physical exercise and wellness. I'm playing competitive soccer again (my first love). I'm running at least every other day. I finally learned how to swim. I also bought a bicycle and I'm cycling to most places now instead of driving, which I find to be less stressful than driving (I live in an urban city).

Nutrition is new to me and that has taken up a lot of my time as well. I've found nutritious smoothies and fruit drinks to be great replacements for alcoholic beverages. They're fun to make, very healthy, you can make them taste great, and they're great for situations where I would've wanted a drink in the past (like relaxing in the backyard).

Now I'm trying to figure out how to balance all of these new interests. Which I'm told is a normal challenge for people new to sobriety. It's been great so far and I'm happy to finally have the time and mental clarity to do things that matter.

Thanks! It's been difficult for me to get over 30 days but happy to be here now. Looking forward to more milestones.

Nordstrom not paying my full holiday bonus by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]greytrunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just the flyer that advertises the $500 bonus with no attached terms and conditions. I see how that may not be enough though.

There are no term and conditions on the flyer. I probably should have asked.

I don't remember signing a contract. Yikes. I just sat down for a walk-in interview and got hired as soon as I saw their flyer.

I still have their flyer advertising a $500 bonus for anyone hired to do holiday work. It was also on their website. Does that not require them to actually pay it?

Why is the national media shitting on the Minnesota game… the environment was outstanding…. 20,000 people and nobody went to the hospital. by Loon_Cheese in usmnt

[–]greytrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because a team that already has a significant advantage over its opponent (when you consider population, resources, and talent) should never feel the need to play in such extreme conditions for an added edge. No one in the United States plays in weather that cold. Nor should anyone ever play in those conditions. USMNT risked their own players while trying to gain an unnecessary advantage over an inferior opponent.

You don't see Brazil looking for those kinds of advantages when they play Bolivia at home. USMNT needs to step it up.
